PEACE FOR All
THEIR ALIO
BERLIN, Dec. 6. Agreement for
suspension of hostilities from the
Black sea to the Baltic and also In
the Turcc-Russian war theatre In Asia
from noon tomorrow until December
17 was announced officially today.
Negotiations for the Russian arm
istice, it was stated, will be continued
in a few days.
"The Russian government does not
desire a separate but a general peace,"
declared Trotsky, Bolshevik! foreign
minister, in an interview printed in
today's Times.
"There are three stages to our pres
ent negotiations," the Maximalist lead
er asserted. "These are: First, sus
pension of hostilities; second, a defi
nite armistice, and third, peace. We
hope before the last stage the allied
peoples will persuade their govern
ments to participate." Russia will'
insist, if an armistice is signed with
Germany, that none of the Teuton
troops now on the east front be trans
ferred to the west front for nse against
the allies. Foreign Minister Trotsky
declared today in a speech at the Cir
cus Moderne.
He also announced that General
Johnson, American attache, had visited
Smolny institute, headquarters of the
Bolsheviki, and declared Colonel Kerts
protest to headquarters had been "mis
understood.' America, according to
General Johnson's statement, as re
peated by Trotsky, did not wish him to
interfere with Russia's internal affairs.
United Press dispatches from Petro
grad Wednesday quoted Trotsky as
threatening "the gravest complica
tions" If allied powers interferred in
Russia's internal affairs, his ire being
aroused at what he termed "negotia
tions" between Colonel Kerts and Gen
eral Lavergne, American and French
military delegates at the front, and
General Dukhonln.

AMHERST, N. S., Dec. 6. Scores,
and perhaps hundreds, are dead in
Halifax, hundreds of buildings are de
stroyed and sections of the city are in
flames as the result of a collision be
tween an American munitions steamer
and another ship in the narrows near
the suburb of Richmond today.
The explosion blew both vessels to
pieces, demonishing docks and damag
ing other ships, messages here de
clared. Crews of both vessels were killed In
stantly, according to reports received
today.
Reports received here could give no
definite estimate of the numbe killed
and injured.
The force of the explosion blew
freight cars off the t rack, partially
destroyed all the bindings from the
Queen hotel on Hollia street, to the
North street station, smarted the sta
tion roof and is believed to have buried
scores in the blazing dbris.
The report of the blast was heard in
Truro. A few minutes later a wire was
received, asking that nurses, doctors,
firemen and food be rushed to the
stricken city.
Communication with Halifax is very
irregular. For a time all wires into
the city were lost. Efforts are now be
ing made to get more information. One
of the last messages to come through
declared the loss of lite was appalling.

At this meeting the plan of this cam

new mushroom turban. The styles
are equally fashionable one has only
to choose her becoming typij.
All the new face veilings are very
fine and delicate of weave, coarse
meshes are out of date; but the new
veils are not altogether transparent
for all that. Most of them are all but
covered with some sort of ramage, or
scroll pattern In stem and leaf effect;
and there are many huge flower de
signs, some woven Into the mesh In
solid effect, others cut out of thin tllk
and appliqued to the mesh. Among
the latter are ihamrocks cut from
thin silk crepe and applique to a fine
mesh veiling under an edge design of
chenille dots. And the ahamrocks are

" SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Dec. 11-Thtr-teen
of the negroes of the 21th in
fantry, Uulted States army, found
guilty of complicity In the riot and
mutiny of Houston on August 2.1,
were hanged on the military reserva
tion at Fort Sam Houston at 7:17
o'clock this morning. Announcement
of the carrying out of the sentence
was made at headquarters of the
southern department at 9 n-n.
The men who paid the penalty of
death were:
Sergeant William C. Nesbitt.
Corporal Larnon J. Brown.
Corporal James Whetley.

Only army officers and Sheriff
John Tobin, of Bexar county, were
present when the sentence was car
ried out by soldiers from the post.
No newspaper men or civilian spec
tators were allowed, the time and
place of execution having been kept
a secret.
"Good bye, boys of Company C,"
were the last words uttered by the
condemned men as the traps were
sprung and they dropped to their
death on the scaffold which had been
erected last night
Men of Company C. 19th Infantry,
have been guarding the negro prison
ers since they wero brought to San
Antonio to stand trial before a court
martial tor complicity In the riot at
Houston on August 23 last.
The execution took place In an
arroyo about two miles east of Camp
Travis on a great scaffold which had
been erected during the night by en
gineers from the post.
A column consisting of approxi
mately 125 cavalrymen and 100 Infan
try soldiers assembled at the cavalry
guardhouse where the negroes were
confined, at 6:30 a. m. today. Trucks
were provided to convey the prisoners
to the scene of the execution.
Colonel Millard F. Walts, post com
mander, was in command of the col
umn and led the way to the scaffold.
The column arrived at the scaffold
at 6:29 a. m. A flood light had been
arranged to give light for those In
charge of the actual work of prepar
ing the nooses and adjusting them to
the necks of the condemned men. The
cavalry and infantry guard assembled
in hollow square formation around
the scaffold and the prisoner were
half and will find use for her present
somehow.
There Is an unwritten law that the
masculine guest shall arrive with bon
bons for Mrs. Hostess. That lets him
out of his obligations very easily to
no cogitating or worrying is necessary
In his case. Ho simply sends out his
office boy during the morning on an
errand to the best bon-bon shop he
knows of, and tucks his twe or five
pound carton of candles In his grip
before he makes his train. But the
feminine week-ender is not supposed
to bring bon-bons they will be a
drug on the market or coals at New
castle, if a ma.sculine truest Is also
numbered among the week-end ar
rivals. The unwritten law of week
ending prescribes that the. feminine
guest shall take along a gift some
thing for the house, or something for
Mrs. Hostess" personal adornment. She
may neglect the gift and she may
forget to tip the maid after her week
end stay; but woe be to her If she
forgets both!
Several attractive gift suggestions
are illustrated, all of them easily
picked up in the shops and all or any
of them calculated to warm the heart
of hospitable Mrs. Hostess. The pic
nic belongings are especially appeal
ing. Quite a complete outfit Is repre
sented by the first group and all these
dainty picnic wares may be packed in
