Chicago, VU Nov. 12. Former
President Taft warned people of the
United States in a speech tonight
not to expect their soldier relatives
and friends baak from the ' battle
fields of France within two years

which will fall on the shoulders of
the United States following estab
lishment of peace,
- In advocating - universal military
, training, Mr. Taft said:
"This war has taught us that it
' pays to be prepared and I am in

as well as the benefits which will
, come to the men who take ip the
army training course."

JOHN PHILLIPS.
" Mrs. J. C. Phillips, 2218 .Willis
avenue, is rejoicing in. news from
France that the man who died and
was supposed to, have been her son,
was not her son after all. Saturday
Mrs. Phillips received word from
France, from a comrade of her son,
John, that the boy had died of
wounds in a French hospital. Tues
day morning there came a postal
card from the same man saying that
the man who died was not John at
all. No word has as yet been re
ceived from John; but the family are
anxiously awaiting, further tidings.
Perhaps the discharge of prisoners
from a German prison camp will re
lease, hm perhaps he will finally
write from some hospital; it may
even be that no word will come
from' him, but hope has again been
awakened in their hearts.

TO VERY LAST

Teutons Fill Defenseless Cities
with Gas on Last Day of
- War; People Seribusly
Mistreated.
With the American Force? in
France, Nov. 12. Although there
was no reason for it, German ruth
lessness was still rampant Sunday,
stirring the American artillery in the
region of Qun-Sur-Meuse and Mou
zay to greater activity. Six hundred
aged men, women and children were
in Mouzey when the Germans at
tacked it with gas. There was only
a small detachment of American
troops there and the town no longer
was of strategical value. However,
it was made the direct target of
shells filled with phosgene. The en
emy hurled them into the town until
every street reeked with gas.
Drenched with Gas.
Not contented with this, the Ger
mans again drenched the place with
gas Sunday night, even while they
were evacuating Stenay, a few miles
to the north. Prompt work by the
Americans saved most of the civil
ians from serious consequences.
Poorly clad and showing plainly
evidences of malnutrition, the in
habitants crowded about the Amer
icans, kissing their hands and hail
ing them as deliverers. They de
clared they had had no meat for six
weeks. They virtually had been
prisoners of war for four'ears and
were overwhelmed with joy -when
they leajaied that an armistice was
probable.
The little children between 6 and
10 years spoke German alternately
with French. It was the first time
they had seen Americans and they
showed plainly their amazement.
As a laxative, and for stomach trouble, Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a wonderful

seven troop trains lined up for the
movement of approximately 3,000
men All of these movements have
been canceled. The Burlington had
two trains scheduled to move Wed

proximately 2,000 men. These trains,
like those of the Union Pacific, have
tyeen cancelled. ;
With the cancellation of the move
ment of troop trains, numerous en
gines and crews have been released

delayed on account of motive power.
HUN ENVOYS ASK
FOR SOLUTION TO
PROBLEM OF FOOD
Long Discussion is Held with
Marshal Foch Oven Supply
ing of Provisions to
Germany. N
Paris, Nov., 12. The new Ger
man government, it appears, con
sidered the armistice conditions at a
sitting late- on Sunday at Berlin.
Having' decided to accept them, it
telephoned instructions from Berlin
to Spa, German headquarters, au
thorizing the delegates to affix their
signatures to the agreement.
Tlw courier, who was waiting at
Spa, left immediately for the lines
and crossed them without incident
north of Chimay. Hcreached the
. his
the
Sir
Chateau de Francfort at about 2
o'clock in the morning, and found
the German plenipotentiaries wait
ing for him. They asked, after they
had read their instructions, to see
Marshal Foch, who was in
special train on a' switch near
chateau.
A Long Talk.
Marshal Foch, with Admiral
Rosslyn Weymiss, first lord of the
British navy. received them.
A discussion, which is described by
the Temps correspondent as being
"rather long," took place Upon cer
tain clauses, particularly that con
cerning the maintenance of the
blockade. The German delegates
signed the document at 5 o'cloc!:.
Premier Clemenceau, receiving cor
respondents today, said on the ques
tion of the blockade:
"The German plenipotentiaries in
sisted, above all, upon the question
of food. '7e maintain, it iswell
understood, the blockade during
the iterm of the armistice. Neverthe
less, as the situation in Germany
and Austria is desperate, we will do
everything possible to feed them
that we can in fairness to ourselves.
It is the queslon of transport which
dominates all these problems." I

the famous work or fight order pro
mulgated last summer, although lo
cal boards have been ordered to
continue classifying after physical
examination, men between the ages
of 19 and 36. The work or aght or

the only penalty attached was that
of being placed in class 1. .The stop
