Last Thoughts of
the World War
Many persons have asked about
"that, long hour on November 11, of
1918," and It is to satify the curio
sity of these that the Telegraph is
printing to-day a few lines from
some of our bucks and colonels about
their last minutes of the war, what
they were doing, where they were
doing it, and how they felt about it.
Here are some of them —we'll lead
off with a colonel, 'cause he's the
highest ranker we've got:
Colonel J. 1) Kemper. U. S. A., Re
cruiting Officer—"One year ago to
day I was at Camp Devens, Mass.,
commanding the 73rd Infantry, and
we had been in readiness for three
aays to start for the embarkation
point. If I told you what I thought
at the time you would not print it."
Private Carl Willielin, Battery A,
12th P. A., said that he spent the
last hour "knocking the Huns for
a 'goal,' just as I'd been doing the
three months previous."
Major Prank C. Maltan, who had
written such interesting army tales
for the readers of the Telegraph,
said about this day last year: "The
PIMP L E S
How to remove them
Tou'd give a lot to get rid of those
distressing pimples, wouldn't you?
For you know how troublesome they
are—how they spoil your beauty —■
how often they prove embarrassing.
Klearskin—a soothing cream, pre
pared by the physicians of the Klois
ter Laboratories, proves effective in
the treatment of pimples, blotches
and other unsightly facial eruptions.
This cream contains a medicament
of wonderful value —so wonderful
that even a two-weeks' treatment
will demonstrate Its merit. Klear
skin is harmless, greasless and of
liesh color does not show on the
skin and will not promote hair
growth on the face.
Pave the way lor better looks. Send
$1 for a large s'ze jar of Klearskin
and Dr. Russeil's treatise —"Facial
blemishes and their removal." If
you will send your druggist's name
and address, we will include a trial
package of Intes-tone.

TUESDAY EVENING,
day the armistice was signed I was
a patient in Base Hospital No. 27,
Angiers, France, wondering whether
I would live or die, and hoping that
I would die. When 1 heard that hos
tilities had ceased I thought: 'Thank
God! Those fellows out there ean
sleep to-night in a warm. dry
place.' "
Walter J. Sliaffer. French army
pilot, is glad the war's over: "One
year ago to-day I was barely exist
ing on carrots and potato peeling,
slum and sour black bread in a Ger
man prison camp. Home never seem
ed so far away from me as it did in
the days following the one I was
shot down behind the German lines.
Then came armistice and release and
now I am flying a plane over the
peaceful Susquehanna Valley."
Jlicliai\l A. Young, top-kicker at
the recruiting station, said: "The
day the news was flashed that an
armistice was signed 1 was in com
mand of a labor battalion at Camp
Hancock, Ga., and 1 was thinking
that I would be able to eat my
Thanksgiving dinner at home. My
reverie was shattered by a wild cry
from every man in the battalion:
'When do we go home?' "
Corporal Charles W. Guinii. Bat
tery A. 113 th F. A., said that he felt
like opening up another bottle of
Cognac. "I couldn't realize that the
war was over, and I hated to stop
firing. I wanted to cut one more
notch in my .45 automat before the
bell rang."
Bunk Private Karl Husvar. Bat
tery F, 112 th F. A., didn't like to
quit: "At 10.30 one year ago to-day
I was helping pump a 75 as fast as
she could stving from recoil into bat
tery in the general direction of the
Hun on the east bank of the Meuse.
Then CF came down ar.d there was
nothing to do but fight the mud,
cooties and the homesickness blues
for five months."
Jack Koons, a "metroilleur" pri
vate from the 304 th M. G.s, said:
"When cease firing was announced
one year ago to-day my mind was in
such a jumble I never was able to
figure out just what I did think. It
was plenty. One thing Ido remem
ber was 'Boy Howdy," now I am go
ing home, and on the strength of it I
let the old death-sprayer loose for
a couple of more rounds."
Walter William.*, of Battery A,
309 th F. A., was greatly moved:
"You may not believe it, byt when
the silence of armistice descended
along the lines one year ago to-day
I actually cried. I don't know why,
but I did. The death-like stillness
after the big guns stopped gave me
a fright worse than any I had had
since my first time under fire."
Sergeant Elliott Hoagland, U. S.
Army Recruiting Station, said: "On
November 11, last year, I had charge
of a company of stevedores at New
port News, Ya.. loading transports
for overseas. There was not a
sharpshooter in the outfit, but there
was not a man who was not an ex
pert at shooting crap. I thought it
was a shame that m? ctTTrit didn't get
a crack at the Kaiser."
Sergeant Pliil Meredith. 28th Divi
sion, said: "I spent the last hour
where I'd been for several days; in
an observation post overlooking the
Heinies in the Thiamount section,
and the way we were dropping the
stuff into them made me wish that
II o'clock was a couple of days
away."
Lieutenant R. C. Jacobs. Jr.:
"Three days before the armistice I
was tearing my hair trying to put
my company in shape to meet the
port of embarkation inspection. It
was wild, but we were set, and I
was anxious to get over and meet
the many friends I had left a few
months before. I'd had my crack at
Jerry, so I didn't shed any tears
when the armistice was signed."
Clayton S. Squires, sergeant of
Company C, 102 nd Infantry, 26th
Division, was lying in Evacuation
Hospital No. 8. near Verdun, within
hearing of the guns. "On October 10
I bet a fellow 25 francs that the war
would be over in a month and I just
missed out by one day! On the
morning of the 11th a heavy barrage
started about 4.30, and it sounded
as if both sides were shooting off
all they had; it certainly was funny
when everything stopped at 11
o'clock. Of course, being in bed, we
couldn't celebrate much, but that
night the whole place for miles was
lit up with fireworks."
Ensign Joseph Strouse, assistant
in the destroyer outfitting section
of the Philadelphia Navy Yard, said
he was never so disappointed as
when the war stopped without giving
him a chance to get over. Ensign
Strouse has eight rejection slips
from as many different enlistment
stations, but was finally accepted in
the navy. "My only going across
was to go across the Elizabeth river
to Norfolk," he said to-day.
Sergeant Frank P. McGinnis. one
of the old-timers doing recruiting
duty in this city, said: "To-day one
year ago I was on guard at one of
the largest ordnance depots in this
country, Curtis Bay, Md. Upon
learning that the Germans had
thrown up their hands I thought:
'How did they last this long against
the Yanks?' "

Tobacco Growers of
Lancaster Are Topping
Even Prices During War
I.ant-aster, Pa., Nov. 11.—By an ob
vious effort on the part of Big Leaf
Tobacco packers and manufacturers
to break up combinations that were
established last year to keep up the
market. Eastern Pennsylvania grow
ers will reap a financial harvest this
year, and more than nine million
dollars will be paid for the Lancas
ter county crop alone.
Reports made of the Tobacco
Growers' Association disclosed
nearly half of the huge crop has
been moved during the past week at
prices ranging between twenty and
twenty-two cents for wrapper
grades, figures which even top the
wartime prices.
Growers reported that the coun
ty was "flooded" with buyers.
This sudden drive by the big con
cerns. supported by offers of ab
normal prices, has swept away the
choice portion of the crop, leaving a
scant supply for the growers' asso
ciation to handle.
These organizations were formed
by farmers who were not satisfied
with last year's prices, and repre
sent estimates of many thousands of
dollars.
