The roads near the front are tilled with the panoply of the war that has ended. The soldiers are wondering when they will get home. All day yesterday there were many explosions behind the German lines, indicating that the enemy was blow ing up ammunition dumps. Very lew German soldiers were seen along the front line, giving rise to the be lief that plans already are under way for the retirement back to their own border. (It is not probable that the Ger mans were destroying ammunition dumps after the signing of the armis tice terms. Because of the congested cables it is probable that portions of tiiis dispatch were written on No vember 11 and in some unaccount able manner were delivered with and us a part of dispatches filed to-day.) Must (in Home Through Liege The German command will have a difficult task, it Is believed, to ac complish this in time, because since the Americans have cut the Mezieres- Longuyon line at Sedan, the Germans have but one main line over which to return to Germany. This line runs through Liege. The terms of the armistice forbid American airplanes from going over the German lines, and inasmuch as no prisoners are being taken, it is virtually impossible to get any in formation as to the movements of the German Army. Wonderful Change on War Front The hours since the cessation of hostilities have wrought a wonder ful change on the front. Silence pre vails. Ambulances are parked along the road. Laughing groups of Amer ican and French soldiers are rejoicing over their success. It is taken for granted that war cannot start going again. Only one thing goes on as it did before—the work of the German pris oners who are repairing the damage German guns and mines have done to the roads of France. Olelirntions Continue The celebrations over the signing of the armistice in the towns in this part of France continue with un abated Joy. The villages are illum inated for the first time in four'years. Paris. Nov. 13.—With dawn of Mon day there was no hint of the cessa tion of hostilities.

Three Cents For the Soldiers in France! WOULD you believe it possible that any citizen of Harrisburg coulfl so little appreciate the sacrifices and the hardships and ail that has been done for their coun try by the American soldiers over there as to contribute THREE CENTS to the support of the seven welfare organizations which are ad ministering to our fighting forces? j Another contributor gave ten cents, less than the price of admis siop to a ntovie show, and still others seemed to think they had been most generous when they gave SI.OO. Were it not that Harrisburg has demonstrated its loyalty and its pa triotism and its devotion to our sol diers in all the war activities the conviction would be forced home that there is mighty little patriotism in this community. But It is not so. The three-cent citizen and the ten-cent-citizen is a rare exception to the rule, when as is evident, one stops to consider what our fighters have done and how they have protected our men, women and children from the awful condi tions which are now prevailing in Russia, Germany and elsewhere in the combat urea. However, the thousands of loyal, patriotic men and women and chil dren of Harrisburg are going to answer the call for the big fund that is necessary to keep our boys in com fort until they come back. Those' who have been so indifferent as to j throw a few pennies to the soldiers as they might to the beggar on the sidewalk, must settle with their own consciences. We leave them to their thoughts which may he no more pleusant than those which now con cern the late Kaiser and his group. Of course, those who are giving of their penury are not in the class to which this story applies. Those who are poor in this world's goods and #vho have given all that they can af ford to give are rich in comparison with those who have large revenues ; and large wages and who give dimes j where they should give hundreds. , Former Kaiser Styles Himself Count and Plans to Buy Holland Estate By Associated I'ress London.

Wilhelm Says He Didn't Flee From Falling Empire By Associated I'ress London, Nov. 13. — A published statement, which the former Ger man emperor wishes to be regarded as his reason for going to Holland, says that the Journey was not a flight, according to an Amsterdam dispatch to the Dally Telegraph. His departure from Germany was actu ated by a desire to facilitate the work of the new government by ridding them of any embarrassment his presence in Germany might cause, 'such as an attempt to muke him the center of a royalist agita tion.
