r ESTABLISHED 1876 LINCOLNTON, N. C THURSDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 8, 1918 FIVE CENTS FES COPY A. A if t !, 1 V GERMANS SEEMS TO WANT FIGHT STOPPED NOW Deserted by all her former allies; her great military machine in thj process 01 destruction or the on slaughts of the entente allied armies; her dream of world domination rudely dissipated, Germany bees ror a ces sation of hostilities, notwithstanding the hard terms she knows she must , pay. .. Scarcely had the decision of the supreme war council at Versailles with regard to a cessation of hostili ties with Germany been made public than Germany was speeding emissar ies to Foch to learn what the commander-in-chief's terms are to be. Meantime in France and Flanders the enamy for"s ore being given nt rest. The British, French and American troops have made further material gains and reclaimed numer ous towns and villages. Thoussnd , more of Germans have been tatan prisoners cn all the sectors under attack. Generally the enemy forces are in slow retreat, but nevertheless, at some points they are offering sharp resistance, particularly against tho Americans in the Meuse river region and the French in the old Argonne sector. The latest pains of the British on the western side of the battle front have teen productive of the capture tf several towns of great importance, the paining of more territory east of the Scheldt canal, where the Canad ians are on the attack, and in thu tnking of several railway junctions of high stratecic value. n Along the Mdiise, the Americans continue steadily to push forward and at last accounts were almost at ' the gates of Sedan, a dominating ('print ?n the German line of commoniea ion to the eant. Both east and west of the river the Germans have ma terially stiffened their resistance against the men from overseas, usinir large numbers of machine guns and gas in great Quantities in an endeavor to impede their progress. PRESIDENT TELLS ' J GERMANY FOCH HAS AUTHORITY TO DO TALKING The terms on which Germany may - have peace have been delivered. The ..- element of softness is absent -from : thein. Like the peace given Austria Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria, -the price Germany will have tq pay is vir tually the pjrioe of absolute surrender. The claws of the great military ma chine of Germany are to be drawn; invaded territories must be evacuated and compensation must be made for all damage done to the civilian copu lations in attacks by land and sea from the air., Impotency by Germany again to take the field is to be insist ed on. - : " Note to Germany. : Washington, Nov. 5 Marshal Foch has the terms of armistice for Ger many and awaits application for them by the German military command in ' tho field. The government at Berlin is f"1 formed in a note in which Secretary . Lansing handed to Minister Snlver of Switzerland tonight, announcing thr.t the allies have declared their willing ness o make peace on the principles ' enunciated by President Wilson. The note now is on the cables. In 24 hours it should be in the hands of the Ger mans; in 48 hours the world may know whether an immediate end of the war is at hand. Publication of details of the armis tice terms still Is withheld. They may not be made known until the Germans : ..... ... have accepted or rejetced them, the course followed by the allies in deal ing with Bulgaria, Turkey and Aus tria. Only the details are in do"bt however, and no one questions that acceptance means abject surrender. The statement has been authored that the drastic - conditions under which Austria passed out of tho war have been closely followed, and in an swer to queries for further informa tion, officials said tonight the state ment of Premier Clemenceau. cabled from Paris by the Associated Pre.ss, told the story: "The terms," said M. Clemenceau, "are what President Wilson himself recommended to us for the security of "our troops,-the maintenance of our superiority, and the disarmament of the enemy in so far as that is neceg ' sary to prevent a resumption of hos tilities." Secretary Lansing's note gives tha first hint of what has been going on in the momentous '; conferences at ' Paris between Colonel House and the allied Dremiers. It auotei a "memo randum of observations" by the allied governments on the President's cor-1 respondence witn the uerman auuior-, ; "'" mhwimuiiij ities, disclosing the approval of the forces: , n r n y. n President's peace program, with res-) Killed in action: C.

The spokesmen of Germany have accepted tho President's, .terms; now they must accept the allied quali fications if they want to stop the ad vance of the allied and American armies.

In addition, the party maintains if it does not better its present positior in the General Assembly of North Carolina. In the view of . incomplete returns, the Democrats will possibly have 101 members out of 120 in the House an d43 members out of 60 in the Senate. : Taking into consideration the ab sent soldier vote, the recent misration of man power to other States, and the ihnuenza situation still critical in many portions of North Carolina, the Democratic majority was the hand somest since 1900. Fully 30,000 Dem ocratic voters, it is estimated, are in the military service. In spits-nf full notice of the privilege of absentee voting only a small percentage of these availed themselves of the oppor tunity of casting a vote. " But while many of these were figthing, the peo ple back home were voting and both were giving fullest support to the na tion's commander in chief;' As usual for (die Stite'; ticket and the greatest part of the Congressional delegation, it was merely a matter of the extent of the majority. Since Charles L. Abernethy withdrew from the race in the Third District in which he was running as an independent candidate, in favor of S.: M. Brinson, the Democratic nominee succeeding the late Col. W. T. Dortch, there was never a flicker of doubt as to the re sult - Raleigh, Nov-oV-At U o'clock to night Democratic State Chairman Warren, placed his estimated majori ty in North Carolina from 35,000 to 45.UUU and is confident that all 10 democratic congressmen are elected. "Senator Simmons has led tli; State ticket with a certainty of 45,000 majority," says Chairman Warren. In the tenth district Weaver defeats Britt for Congress by 500 to 800 ma jority. V Brinson's majority in the third is 2,500. Doughton's in tho eighth is 2,500. Robinson in the seventh gets 4,000 majority. Stedman in the fifth has probably 4,000 majority. Democratic majorities in counties reported tonight are: Iredell, 1,700; Harnett, 500; Robeson, 2.000J Cald well, 200; Union, 1,800; Rowan, 800; Vance, 800; Greenville, 1,100; Wafca, 2,500; Chatham, 250; Wilson, 1,100 Forsyth, 1,100; Bladen, 600; Craven, 1,250; Wayne, 1,20; Jones, 500; Pam lico, 200; Cleveland, 1,300; Edge combe, 1,560; Warren, 1,100; Gates, 400; Onslow, 450; Duplin, 300; Iee, 830; Carteret, 100; Polk, 700; Pender, 450; Guilford,- 1,400; - Cumberland, 1,200; Montgomery, 200; Lincoln, 100, Burke, 150. . Raleigh's democratic majority was 1,291, with only 181 republican votes cast in the city. Thirty four counties heard from at 11 o'clocy tonight at democratic head quarters gives a 37,420 democratic majority. : Sampson county gave 1,600 republi can majority, voted for six months school amendment and defeated Bick ett's note exemption amendment. Yadkin gave 600 republican major ity. The constitutional amendment for mx months school teems to be safe by n vote probably 25 per cent under the general political vote. ; Also Bickett's tax exemption for farm notes, has 'carried, though few reports tonight mention these note. Many voter didn't vote on amend ments, but opposition was small. 20 north Carolinians' "in the casualty list Washington,' Nov. 6.

CONTROL HOUSE -APPARENTLY GOES TO REPUBLICANS Both Sides Claim Senate Returns at Hand Give: Republicans 234; Dem ocrats 195; of Scats in House, Washington, Nov. 6.- With con trol of .the house of representatives placed in the hands of the republicans by a majority of 16 and probably more, the attention of the country to night was centered on contests in 3 states Michigan, Idaho, and New Mexico which will decide whether the democrats shall lose control of the senate as well. . At midnight returns from five con gressional districts were missing in Montana, New Mexico and South D kotn. .; Without them, however, the re publicans have won 234 seats in the house of representatives 16 more man the 218 votes necessary for a maioritv. - The democrats on the fact of those returns, had 195 seats and in the five missing districts were to be conceded to them they still would lack 18 voies of the number necessary to control the house. Tonight's returns show plainly that Spenker Clark, instead cf being de feated, as was reported as being like 1" last night, has been re-elected by t substantial majority. The contests which will decide th. political complexion of the senate were very close. A3 the senate stands without a decision in these counties there are 46 democrats and 47 ' re publicans, v , In Michigan the race between Henry Ford and Truman II. New. berry was so close that it was said an dflicial count might bo required to da cide the winner. Both parties were claiming the seat. In New Mexico, where renuhlieans are claiming the1 election of .Senator fall by a majority of 1.000 at leaat not a single county had reported com plete returns. in Idaho, where 74.000 votes out ot an estimated total of 95,000 had been counted, Senator Nugent, th democratic candidate for re-election, was leading Frank R. Goodinjr, k republican candidate, bv a littlo mow than 300 votes. The result is in doubt. With the house firmlv in the lmnris of the republicans, control of the son- ate is more important than ever to th demc'cratic administration. If the administration, can retain control, of. me senate, ltxan in a large measure check the activities of a republican house. It is doubly important to the national administration because of th--part which the constitution assigns ti the senate in the ratification cf the peace treaties which will end the world war. In the senate reposes the prerogn-, tive of ratifying any treaties which the President may make. Republicans made one of their campaign arguments on-the conten tion that a republican senate should be elected to participate in the work of making peace. Tho democratic administration, on the other hand, contends that the negotiation' of treaties, is wholly the function of the executive branch and that the senate's part is to ratify them. With the senatorial returns still missing from Michigan, Idaho and New Mexico, the figures showed that the republicans had lost one that of Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts while the democrats had lost six. The senators who will be retired are Shaf rath, of Colorado; Saulsbury, of Dela ware; Lewis, of Illinois: Thompson, of Kansas; Wilfley, of Missouri, and Hollis, of New Hampshire. , ENTIRE SOUTH SENDS '.""T" BUT 3 REPUBLICANS TO CONGRESS Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 5. Southern states east of the Mississippi river n turned their usual almost solid demo cratic delegation to the house of rep resentatives in today's elections whno all democratic candidates for the son ate were elected. There was no turn over anywhere in this territory. For the 76 democratic seats in the house from the nine states, there we 'e contests by republicans in only 15 dis tricts, while the democrat contested only one of the three seata held by the republicans. Ten senators were elected from eight states, but the democratic can didates were opposed only in Tennes see, North Carolina and Georgia. The only republicans elected in the pouth i were two representatives in Tennessee, one of whom was without opposition, and in one in Virginia, al so without opposition. In the normal ly democratic districts, the only close contest was in the Tenth North Car olina, where Representative Weaver had an apparently safe lead over James J. Bntt. ' ... j State tickets were contested in only two Btates, Alabama and Tennessee, and in the former, the democratic can diadtes were elected by overwhelming majorities. The result of the contest for governor in Tennessee was not certain late tonight. ; ; ' In Florida the state constitutional prohibition amendment was adopts 1 by a large majority, while in Louisi ana, the equal suffrage amendment to the state cohstitution was defeat ed. ALL LIGHTS ABLAZE A lar French liner arrived at a:i Atlantic port Sunday night with all her light ablaze. This unusual pro cedure in war-t'me was due, according to pasrengvis to a wireless message picked t ; at sea, which caused the captain to order paint scraped from the vessel's port-holes, to permit illu mination of the decks. While the contents of the wireless message was not made known to the passenger, many of them landed with the im pression that peace had been conclud ! as! .Mrih fl aotvi onn an1 V a MfiMAInn ed with Germany and that "freedom I et the seas" had been restored. , WAR FUND DRIVE NEXT WEEK IN LINCOLN CO. $6,568 FOR Y.

Cleveland county reached its highest democratic major ity in six years, all state candidates receiving majorities of about 1,300, ana county candidates about 1,4C0 The total vote cast was 3,650. Con gressman Webb has a majority over his republican opponent,. Jonas m Cleveland of about 1,300. Mr. Webb says that from that returns he has so far from the district that his ma jority is between 5,000 and 6,000. Burke seems to have given him 150 majority, Lincoln 75, Gaston 1,050, Mecklenburg around 4,000, Catawba seems to have gone democratic, but official figures are not available. Mr. Webb thinks the majority against him in Madison will not be over 600, Mk chell not over 500, Avery not over 400. These counties two years ago gave 2,800 majority against him, It is estimated that two constito tional amendments received favorable majority of 1,500 in Cleveland . Gaston County Increases its Majority For Webb. Gastonia, Nov, 5. With every pre cinct in the county except one small one heard from, the Gaston county vote stands, 3,000 for Webb and 2,100 for Jona3. The vote of the other candidates run just about the same all the way through. Catawba Decreases Republican Ma jority. Newton, Nov. 5. Catawba dacrearfr ed the usual republican majority in today's election, giving Jcnas a ma jority of 75 or 100, as compared with 260 maiority for" Greene two years ago. Thero were about 4,500. votei cast in the county, as well as could be estimated at a late hour tonight. SUGAR ALLOWANCE INCREASED FROM 2 TO 3 POUNDS PER MONTH The rapid manufacture of the new crcp belt sutrar in the west and rew crop Louisiana cane sugar in the south together with tho freer railway trans portation conditions, , tho reductions that v-'e have made in the consumption of sugar in the manufacture trader and the patriotic conversation in the past four months, enables U3 to in crease the household allowance of sugar from two pounds per person p:c month to three pounds per person per month, with the same ration to puuuc eating places as from November 1st. This makes good our promise to in crease the household allowance of sugar at the earliest possible moment that our supplies would justify ana makes it possible for the householder to more freely use the apple, cran berry and grape fruit produce pro ducts nrid to use the fruits .. canned during the summer without sugai. The regulations are also 'revised to the extent that any person may pur chase his whole monthly allowance at one time if he so desires, that is, any family may purchase a month's sup ply for the entire family in one pur chase from the retail trade. November certificates were issued on two-pound basis. These certifi cates were already mailed when new regulations were received, but addi tional certificates for the extra oound per person will be mailed out between November 15-20. The expiration date of all classes cf ' sugar certificates bearing the expira tion date of October 15 has been ex tended to November 15. SOLDIER G. H. STAMEY. Mrs.' Jno. G.
