NOON YESTERDAY. ~ ALL LISTS MUST BE REVISED .. MONEY MORE BADLY NEEDED {'. 'NOW THAN EVER BEFORE w ¥ ~—COME ACROSS. The drive for the United War Work fund is on in full blast all over the - United States this week. The goal set for the seven societies is $170,000,000. Judging from reports at hand this . Thursday morning there is a relaxation all over the country with regard to giving for this necessary war work. The signing of the temporary peace armistice very likely has had an un eenscious effect upon the public. . With peace at hand, there is a growing need for the Y.M.C.A., the Y.W. A., the K. of C., Jewish Welfare Board, War Camp Community Service, American Library Association, and the Salvation Army. Instead of making several drives for these different organizations, it was wisely decided to raise the funds by a concerted movement. The plan has the unqualified endorsement of President Wilson and the army and navy heads. Although peace has been declared, it will be many months before any of the boys from overseas will be sent home. It is said that it will be impossible for the board which will arrange final peace terms to meet before the latter part of January. Ex also figure that it will take at least eight months for the preparations of the terms which Germany must sign, and, one expert on Wednesday gave it as his opinion that because of the multiplicity of interests that may be settled, it will take seven months to clean the board. This means of course that Uncle Sam must keep her army over there. While these organizations have the end of inestimable value to the boys during the activities of war, they will be mepded much more now that war is at an end. In the nature of things, dilling will not be as strenuous and there will be much more leisure time. Tarkeep the boys contented and happy and to maintain their high morale, the war auxiliaries have their work cut from the reports at hand this Thursday morning. It is evident that Sauk Center has fallen down badly on her appropriation of $4700 allotted as her share for this important work. Mayor J.A. DuBois, who has charge of the drive in this city, met with a number of business men and ladies Monday and divided the city into fourteen districts. A large part of the town has been canvassed and the totals are far below what is required. The Victory Boys and Girls, directed by Miss Alice Quigley, is the only organization that has raised what they should for this important work. ~ Up to noon today, the young people ~of the public school have guaranteed ﬂg :ﬁ 'ma;iﬁcient sum of $532.80 as j. ‘,,;?{':Mty B o -8 . 172400 - Victory girls, senior high 160.00 ki ke \‘Vhtor;/ boys, senior high . 160.00° g*‘ ~ Victory girls :‘iun.ior high. 40.00 - Vietory boys, junior high . 10.00 “dhiymtory girls, normal dept. 30.00 .

This money is divided F e R e A .f-.. It is no small job to raise the $170,- 000,000 asked for, but it must be done and it is hoped Sauk -Centre will go over the top in this drive, as it has in others. “This campaign closes Nov. 18th. If you have not subscribed, go to your bank and sign a pledge card, pay the cash, if you can, or easy payments are provided. The chairman, also, has pledged cards for your signature. Contributions names will be published in the Herald, and it is suggested that those well able to do their share in this War Work Campaign, and absolutely refuse to give their allotment, should have their names published.” Friday evening of this week there will be an open-air meeting to boost the drive held at corner of Third and Main streets. Chairman A. G. Whitney of St. Cloud and others will be present to help boost. Several timely talks will be made; there will be good music and it is hoped that weather conditions will be favorable for a large gathering. GOVERNMENT STOPS CALL FOR MEN TO BE INDUCTED INTO MILITARY SERVICE MONDAY Two hundred and fifty men from various counties to the north were stopped at Sauk Centre Monday noon by government orders. The eighteen young men from Western Stearns county were also about to go to the depot at Melrose when the orders were received for them to go home. The order affected the men differently. Some of the boys were pleased to think they had been relieved of military duty while many others were mad as hornets because they had not deprived of the opportunity of getting a wallop at the Hun. Advices from Washington Tuesday say: “No more questionnaires will be sent out by the draft boards, it was explained by the Provost Marshal General’s office today.” . "Those which have been sent, however, must be filked out and returned to the draft boards. All present draft calls have been cancelled. It is unlikely, however, that men sent to camps under previous calls will be returned until peace has been declared for the situation in Germany definitely cleared up." INFLUENZA CLAIMS MRS. K. R. QUILL, LEAVING SEVEN LIT "TLE CHELDREN MOTHERLESS" Taken ill with influenza on Nov. 2, Mrs. G. K. Quill was summoned to her eternal rest on Nov. 7, 1918. The immediate cause of her death was pneumonia. Gunihild Oddén - was - born near Veneman, N. D, in: 1883. She was united in marriage to K. R. Quill June 15,;1903, at:she Big G&&}lgor Luth, church. - Mr. Sand Mrs. Quill lived on a farm mnear Grove Lake for a couple of years, moving to North Dakota in 1905, where Mr. Quill took up a home stead ~near Taggers. After proving up on the claim he entered the mer cantile business at Werner. Two months ago they returned to this sec tion taking possession of the Quill homestead near Lake George, 12 miles south of Sauk Centre. 1 Very short funeral services were held at the Big Grove Nor.

The children are: Irene, Gilmore, Nora, Clara, Walter, Norman and Clarence, the latter only 10 months old. '« The very day she was taken ill Mrs. Quill received a message from North ' Dakota announcing the death of her mother. Her father, Ole Odden attended his daughter’s fun eral.: 7 Mr. Quill had made arrangements to buy his father’s old homestead and the family were looking forward to many years of happiness and pros perity on the old home farm. The family have the sincere sympathy of a large number in their great afflic tion. : 172.00 160.00 160.00 40.00 10.00 30.00 10.80 PNEUMONIA CLAIMS BABY BOY. John Richard, the only living child of Mr. and Mrs. William Brant, Jr., died Wednesday evening, Nov. 13, 1918, at 11:25, of pneumonia, following an attack of influenza. The little fellow was ill about fourteen days. He was buried this Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m. at the Irish Catholic cemetery. Rev. Fr. Fearon officiating. Mr. and Mrs. Brant have been extremely unfortunate with their children. John Richard was the last one left of four, the rest having gone on within a period of five years. The community sympathizes with them in their affliction. Germany Retires to West Bank of Rhine; Vacates All of Alsace-Lorraine and Luxumberg. United States and Entente Prisoners of War to Be Released Immediately; Must Make Reparation for Damage to France and Belgium. Washington, Nov. 11.—President Wilson issued a formal proclamation today announcing that the armistice with Germany had been signed. The proclamation follows: "My Fellow Countrymen: The armistice was signed this morning. Everything for which America fought has been accomplished. It will now be our fortunate duty to assist by example, by sober, friendly counsel and by material aid in the establishment of just democracy throughout the world. Woodrow Wilson." TERMS OF TRUCE. Cessation of hostilities. Evac In the midst of invaded territories including Alsace-Lorraine and Luxembourg within 14 days. Surrender of vast amounts of guns and equipment, evacuation of left bank of Rhine. Surrender of vast rolling stock in occupied territories. Abandonment of Bucharest and Brest treaties. Unconditional surrender of all German forces in East Africa. Reparation of damage done. Concentration of aircraft at stipulated points. Evacuation of all Black Sea ports. Restoration of all Allied and United States merchant vessels. Duration of the armstice to be 80 days. Surrender of all submarines, 60 battleships, 6 battle cruisers, 10 battleships, 8 light cruisers, and other miscellaneous ships. All Allied vessels in German hands are to be surrendered and Germany is to notify neutrals that they are free to trade at once on the seas with the Allied countries. President Woodrow Wilson appeared before a joint session of congress Monday afternoon, and delivered a very remarkable address, in which he gave in detail the terms of the armstice signed by Germany. At this time the president said in part as follows: In these anxious times of rapid and stupendous change it will in some degree lighten my sense of responsibility to perform in person the duty of communicating to you some of the larger circumstances of the situation with which it is necessary to deal. The German authorities who have, at the invitation of the supreme war council, been in communication with Marshal Foch, have accepted and signed the terms of armstice which he was authorized and instructed to communicate to them. The war thus comes to an end, for, having accepted these terms of arms, it will be impossible for the German command to renew it. It is now possible to assess the consequences of this great consummation. We know only that this tragical war, whose consuming flames swept from one nation to another until all the world was on fire, is at an end and that it was the privilege of our own people to enter it at its most critical juncture in such fashion and in such fore~ as to contribute in a way of which we are all deeply proud, to the great result. We know, too, that the object of the war is attained, the ob ject upon which all free men had set their hearts; and attained with a sweeping completeness which even The angels are singing today: “Glory to God in the high est-and on earth peace to men of good will.” Christianity today is celebrating a new birth for democracy and Christianity have the samé objective as far as this world is concerned, namely happiness through mutual good will among men. : We do well to remember today that “peace hath its victories as well as war,” and that as team-work won the war so team-work will win ever increasing voctories in a world at peace. .My prayer today is that mutual good will and willing co operafion may reign universally througout the world but that ‘most especially in our own beloved land and in our immediate eﬂmmﬁty the mutual confidence and self forgetful spirit of Berviee begotten of the war may continue to grow and bring forth fruit to gladden the hearts of men and merit the ad—* " f angels, ' —JOS. F. BUSCH, _ TV - 2 - Bishop of St. Cloud. B. ok et N s T Seda e vy Y 0 U s BISHOP BUSCH’S INSPIRING MESSAGE. It is now we do not realize. Armed imperialism such as the men conceived who were but yesterday—the masters of Germany is at an end, its illicit ambitions engulfed in black disaster. Who will now seek to revive it? The arbitrary power of the military caste of Germany which once could secretly and of its own single choice disturb the peace of the world is discredited and destroyed! Just, Lasting Peace Sought. And more than that—much more than that—has been accomplished. The great nations which associated themselves to destroy it had now definitely united in the common purpose to set up such a peace as will satisfy the longing of the whole world for disinterested justice, embodied in settlements which are based upon something much better and much more lasting than the selfish competitive interests of power, states. There is no longer conjecture as to the objects the victors have in mind. They have a mind in the matter, not only, but a heart also. Their avowed and concerged purpose is to satisfy and protect the weak as well as to accord their just rights to the strong. Promises People Food. The humble temper and intention of the victorious governments has already been manifested in a very practical way. Their representatives in the supreme war council at Versailles have by unanimous resolution assured the peoples of the Central Empires that everything possible in the circumstances will be done to supply them with food and relieve the distress. By the use of the idle tonnage of the Central Empires it ought presently to be possible to lift the fear of utter misery from their oppressed populations and set their minds and energies free for the great and hazardous tasks of political reconstruction which now face them on every hand. Hunger does not breed reform; it breeds madness and all the ugly distempers that make an ordered life impossible. No Stable Government. For with the fall of the ancient governments which rested like an incubus upon the peoples of the central empires has come political change not merely, but revolution, and revolution which seems as yet to assume no final and ordered form, but to run (Continued on page eight) MINNESOTA'S DRY AMENDMENT PROBABLY DEFEATED BY VYVERY SMALL MAJORITY Complete official returns published in today's papers from seventy Minnesota counties gives the bone dry amendment to the state constitution 119,707 votes, while 118,198 voted against it. As about four percent of the voters did not vote upon the amendment, these votes are counted against the amendment and undoubtedly the amendment has lost by between four and five thousand votes. RED CROSS CHRISTMAS BOXES FOR OVERSEAS MUST BE PUT IN MAIL BEFORE NOV. 20 Although 100 cartoons for Christmas packages for Sauk Center boys in service overseas have been at the Herald office for over a week, but few of them have been called for. Last week's Herald carried quite an extensive story relative to the manner in which the boxes could be turned over. Many mothers have called during the week who have not yet received the necessary slips from their boys. The government insists that these packages must be mailed before Nov. 20, and if there are those having slips who have not yet called for their boxes, they are urged to do so at once. The "slips must be presented before Nov. 20." Exes can be delivered. Before the boxes are mailed, they must also be brought to the Herald office where the chairman of the local Red Cross will inspect them. This too is part of the requirements of the government. AGED LADY PASSES ON. Mrs. Anna K. Foslein, mother of Charles K. Foslein of Centre, died at her home at Brandon, Douglas county, Nov. 11, 1918, at the ripe old age of 89 years. The lady has not enjoyed the best of health for some time. About two weeks ago she fell and broke her hip, and this accident hastened the end. The deceased was born in Norway. She came to America in 1848 and had lived in Douglas county for 86 years. Her husband died 37 years ago. Two sons and five daughters are the living children left to mourn. The funeral was held at the Brandon North Luth church on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock. C. K. Foslein and family of Sauk Centre attended. RESTRICTIONS REMOVED. George Steiner of the Steiner Lumber Company informed the Herald Wednesday forenoon that word had been received from the war board that all restrictions for materials on buildings costing up to $10,000 had been removed. The signing of the armstice will rapidly place many branches of business back on an even keel. DOGS KILL REGULAR COON. Myron Taylor, living southeast of Sauk Centre, was exhibiting a 38-pound coon last Friday, that his bulldog had killed on the farm that morning. The animal was a beauty and was the largest of its kind killed in this section for many a day. Mr. Taylor will have the hide made into a rug. MELROSE HARD HIT. Melrose has been heavily afflicted with the influenza epidemic nearly week's. Rose Beacoh carried the announcement of thirteen fatalities. Late reports indicate that the malady is abating. ATR GE WO PERFECTLY FINE GELEBRARIONS SALE CENTRE UNCORKS WILD ENTHUSIASM BOTH THURSDAY AND MONDAY. LOCAL RED CROSS BENEFITS LADIES AND CHILDREN RAISE $13 FOR RELIEF WORK Sauk Centre, like all other American cities, towns and hamlets, enjoyed two monster peace celebrations within a period of a few days. Notwithstanding the rain Thursday afternoon of last week, hundreds of people congregated, flags were flying, every conceivable noise making apparatus was brought into play, the Home Guards and citizens paraded and the band played. The question of whether there was a doubt as to the signing of the armstice did not dampen the enthusiasm. The celebration was a splendid opportunity to raise funds for the Red Cross, and as a result of the activities, the local branch was enriched by $118.75, raised in the following manner: Mrs. Halvorson, Mrs. D.

Old Glory was soon waving from every conceivable building, residence, nook and corner. School was let out at noon and young America was even more in evidence than on the Thursday preceding. Lo Mayor Dußeau arranged an informal parade for the evening, headed by the Home Guards and a famous “Jazz” band led by Dr. Blix, a real “gentleman of color.” The music was not particularly classical but touched a responsive chord in the hearts of the multitudes that had gathered up on the streets. As one man expressed it, it was “a regular Fourth of July crowd.” : The parade headed by the band, members of the Palmer Post, G. A. R. the Home Guards, the high school cadets, school children and citizens marched about the city for some time. It was typically American. While the band was playing at the corner of Third and Main at the close of the parade the Home Guards came rushing pell-mell up Third street having Von Hindenberg and the Kaiser in charge. These murderers were first hung and then burned in effigy. Much to the delight of the populace. There were no accidents and the celebration closed with a dance on the streets. On the whole, they were great functions for red-blooded Americans. F. BORGMANN HAS MAJORITY OF 95 OVER BEN ELLERING FOR CO.
