The bill itself, aside from the change which affects Dallas and local commun- ities so vitally, provides for an increase of one member in the House. After this session the House would consist of 209 members. if the measure becomes a law. Philadelphia, Dauphin and Cambria counties each would lose a member while Allegheny, Lehigh, Luzerne and Dela- ware counties would gain one member each. Although the bill has been introduced it is incomplete in certain respects and it mav be assumed that there will be con- siderable wire pulling and log ‘rolling in committee if the bill to be comes before the House for action.

Tioga Street — — — TUNKHANNOCK, PA. and Mrs. Freeman. AT A BARGAIN nurse ! POST SCRIPTS | (Continued from Page 1.) day of the false Armistice than on the day when the real Armistice was signed. America celebrated so enthusiastically when the United Press made its famous blunder that the actual news of the war's end a few days later came as an = anti’ climax. 1t 1s probable that the formal declara- tion of war had been imminent so long people neglected to collect any impres- sions of a day that was merely the sixth of April. After all, America's entrance into the mess was pretty well decided along about the time the Germans achieved success with the submarine. Some historians believe Germany's greatest. and fatal blunder of the war was her use of the submarine so indiscrimi- nately. For it was the sinking of the | Lusitania, the “barred zones” fixed by the Germany navy, and the ruthless, if effec tive, warfare undersea that forced Presi- dent Wilson to abandon his attitude of “armed neutrality” and made Americans lose their temper. "At that time, though, the war was deadlocked and it is likely that had America not entered both sides would have fought until exhaustion, poverty and the futility of the struggle would have dictated a cessation of hostilities. In such a situation, Germany could not resist the opportunities the submarine offered to bring Great Britain to her knees. Amazed as they were to see America enter the war, the Germans were hav- ing such success puncturing British ships they believed they could prevent Ameri can troops from landing in France. That this nation lost not a single soldier to the submarine was one of the miracles of the war. Anyway, twenty years ago the Haps- burgs and the Hohenzollerns were still high on their thrones, the Czar was still under _a Crown, although it was “tremb- ling a little, United States was shovelling out money hand over fist to the Allies, and the young men of Dallas and other towns were dreaming nightly of gallant charges and glorious victories. It is, perhaps, worth a thought that we entered the ‘war to end wars’ so we could “make the world safe for democ- racy,” and that now, two decades later, the world still isn’t very safe for democ- racy and nations are busy with an arma- ment race that may make 1914 look like a game with toy soldiers. While we are on the subject and have nothing better to write we might pass on to you the explanation Webb Miller, fam- ous correspondent for United Press, gave recently for the false armistice. If you are older than thirty years you will un- doubtedly remember the excitement on the afternoon of November 8, 1918, when newspapers which were served by U. P. announced the Armistice—three days before it was actually signed. Roy Howard, now the big boss of United Press and who flashed the unfor- tunate misinformation, has since explained just how it happened and his account may be read, too, in Mr. Miller's book, “1 Found No Peace.” Suffice it to say here that Mr. Howard got the bulletin from a high Navy official whose word would be good enough for any reporter. It is certain, anyway, that the false Armistice bulletin was not a figment of imagination but actually was traced as far as one of the French bureaus, where it was lost in a maze of red tape. We believe, ourselves, that the false armistice ‘was not the result of‘ a mistake, but a carefully executed plan, The peace negotiations had * already been started. On the morning of No- vember 8 German officers crossed the lines to confer with Marshall Foch and other Allied representatives. But France, bitter because the grey hordes had de- spoiled so much of her territory, wanted to push on into Germany, to give the tired, worn people of the Vaterland a taste of their own medicine. Even in this country there was no thought but. that we were going right through to Berlin, to hang Kaiser Wilhelm on a sour apple tree. ! Germany must have known ‘that = fur» ther resistance was futile. Her lines were crumpling. = Men were deserting. The morale at home was low. All that was left to Germany was the shrewdness of her leaders. If the war was to end in defeat, why not end it before the Allies. had an opportunity to cross the border and vent their wrath? Is it fantastic to believe, then, that in their hour of de- feat, the German staff executed one of the most brilliant moves of the war? It is a matter of record that German spies occupied high places on important French bureaus throughout the war. What could have been easier than for:an intelli- gence operative in such a position to pro- duce a bulletin announcing an Armistice? What could be more certain than that millions of people, waiting for the end of the war, receiving such news, going mad with thankfulness. and excitement, should not want to turn back from their cele- bration to support a war that was al ready won? A Great It's Real Furthest. Housekeeper You Perhaps some day, in the memoirs: of a German secret service operator, the real explanation of the false Armistice will come to light.
