The above is a photographic reproduction of the original order as dispatched from General Pershing's headquarters by a telegraph operator of Dayton, Ohio. The operator was William Morey, who since the armistice died and was buried with full military honors. He was a member of the United States army signal corps and retained a copy of the famous dispatch, found among his effects.

Hughes, former chief of stafP of the Rainbow division, gave the following recollections of the 11th of November, in France, in 1913: ARMISTICE: day eight years ago a great silence fell upon the fields of France. Men felt the amazing stillness like a shock of pain. Then the realization came that it was all over and they gave vent to their suppressed feelings, each in his own way. It is a date that justly should be observed. A legal holiday Is appropriate, but let us not make it u carnival occasion. We have our real national N holiday, July 4, and Armistice day should not be considered of equal im- portance. Must as Kansas City has Its Liberty memorial, so every town has some sort of tablet or memorial to Its service men. It seems fitting that ceremonies should center there. We Americans love to parade, but the public is tired doubt whether It Is of watclilng. worth while for the veterans to assemble in marching order, although by all means they should attend the cereI mony. Societies that grew out of the war and those that were active during that period should participate in a patriotic program of speeches and music. The American Legion, churches, schools, business houses all civic, patriotic and religious .organizations " sfipuld combine. That is enough. Colonel Hughes was billeted with his division between Metz and Sedan when the armistice was signed. He tells how lie anticipated the cessation of hostilities several weeks before the armistice.

Nearly all bespoke an economic unrest The prisoners captured nbout this time were frankly elated and Inquired frequently why we Americans still were fighting when they had quit. They considered the war ended and saw no use In endangering themselves further. Their cause seemed futile ami tiiey knew their families were suffering. Toward the finish of the World war the German machine guns still were active, but the artillery fire practically laid ceased. We often were not more than three hundred yards away from them, but' the danger of attack Mtad lessened. It Is an old story, though, how Germany ceased being the aggressor. midst of it men had long silences, thinking back to things that had passed. bilI walked over to a cross-road- s let at dusk and stood a moment In silent reflection.

On a dais at the upper end of the room sat a gorgeously attired man, surrounded by fluttering courtiers. Into that brilliant assemblage a poor Her' peasant girl was ushered. tanned face was homely, but lighted by unusually large, melancholy eyes. She was Joau, the peusuuts daughter of bomreiny. Her eyes swept the gay court, rested Indifferently on the gaudy form iu the chair of state, then passed on to a far corner of the room, where sho singled out a plainly dressed man who stood unnoticed in a lesser group of courtiers. Going up to this man. she knelt before him, saying: You are Charles, the dauphin (crown prince) of France!" A murmur of amazement ran The through the listening crowd. dauphin raised the peasant girt to her feet. The smile of derision that had curled his lips gave place to a look of awe. Joan of Arc's career had begun. France and England had for cen turies been bitter foes. They were forever at war with each other. (These wars endured at intervals until the battle of Waterloo, in 1815.) France had been repented' ly beaten by the Islanders. Invasion after invasion on the part of the English had torn away more and more French territory and had annexed it to England. Edward III had several times the invaded France, ?ind his son, Mack prince, in the battles of Crecy and of Poitiers (1330 and 13.t) had wrecked Frances military power. The Itlack prince lias come down through history ns the very flower of chivalry; whereas, as a matter of fact, he was a brutal freebooter. Later, Henry V of England had further subdued France, until, early In the Fifteenth century, England had conquered all the country uorth of the River Loire, and the infant son of Henry V was crowned not only king of England but of France as well France, lying helpless, almost passive, in the grip of her British masters. Charles, son of the Frencli king and rightful heir to the Frencli throne, should have tieen crowned on his father's death, but he had no genius or ambition and was content to spend his time in idleness and dissipation, uncrowned, while Ids kingdom slipped away front Ills nerveless hands. Affairs had readied this point when She had Joan of Are appeared. passed her childhood iu the forest of Pomremy, at the edge of the province of Lorraine, where sho tended her father's flocks, excelled at housewifely arts and repelled all offers of love. She could neither read nor write. But she had heard of the prophecy made of old by the magician, Merlin, that France, In the hour of direst need,' should be saved by, a maiden. Tradition had added that the maiden should come from Pomremy: Joan brooded over this prophecy in her long hours of solitude in fields and woods until she hypnotized herself Into the belief that she heard divine voices telling her she was the Holy Maiddestlned. to rescue her country from ruin. At this Juncture the English captured Orleans, the way to' all southern France. Joan declared that the voices- bade her to wrest Orleans from the invaderand to crown Charles at Reims. With this double aim In view, and backed by the clamor of popular feeling, she secured an in tervlew with Charles. To deceive her, he decked out a courtier in his royal robes, and himself stood, disguised, in a remote corner. Joan at once saw Through the imposition.- So impressed was Charles that he gave her an army of about 4,500 men and sent her against Orleans. She had no military knowledge, no education of any sort Yet she had absolute faith in her own Inspiration, and she Inspired her soldiers with the same belief. Incidentally, she worked strongly upon the superstitious fears of the English.
