I LEE WILLIAMS IX)ST HIS LIFE lu Collision ut Sen of His Ship, tho Otranto, with tho Kashmir. Return, Oconeo County, Nov. 4. Special: Return to-day mourns the first loss of one of her soldier sons. Lee Williams, son of Mrs. Fannie Williams Cain, was lost at sea when the Otranto nad Kashmir collided off the coast of Scotland. Lee was about 22 years of age. He volunteered for service in the army soon after the declaration" of war, and was on his way to tho front when he met his tvagic death... with iovlng pride that we say, "Our boy has died a hero's death-died, for his country, died for freedom, died doing bravely his duty." Aye. though dead, he lives-lives In our hearts and gratitude, for he, with many another dear lad, has laid down his lifo that we, the folks back home, might go safely, peacefully about our daily duties. Can we for get? Nay! Lee sleeps calmly; let the waves whisper to him that around old Return they are proud to say, "Ho is my kinsman," "We were friends," "I've known him all his life," "1 was his schoolmate," "I was his teacher." We will not forget, but will try to servo more truly, so that we may meet, clear eyed, in that Day when the angel shall stand with one foot on the sea and one on the land, and proclaim "Time is no more." And the sea shall give up her dead! Yes, we shall meet then and rejoice thit he gave up his life in so righ teous a cause. And there shall be no moro death, neither sorrow nor sighing, for Cod Himself shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Neighbor.

Khtngton, Nov. 4.- -Terms upon ^'Germany may obtain an im ite armistice and end the war completed and signed to-day in .. Secretary Lansing announced tufflS&ct to-night in a brief statement, adding only that complete diplomatic hdj&mony had been achieved by the Allied and American conferees at \'o?&ilies. may bo stated authoritatively :!the terms, not yet given ou^ for ieation, follow closely those un* whlch Austria-Hungary aurren d to-day and passed out of the {leaving Germany to stand alone t?t the world. x , I presumption In olllclal circles lo-hight was that the stipula '.could bo In tho hands of the ian government in less than 24 Eft they are accepted, a reply set the Issue of peace or further lng may also bo received within time. Tho uncertainty caused Ident 'Wilson to cancel to-night reposed* trip to New Jersey to ljiijgfrow to cast his vote In the Con Ional elections. though the complete text of the ric Versailles document proba 3 now on the cables for Washing its substance had been reported f fully and approved by the Pre it before the final draft was pre d. cretary Lansing's announcement contained this statement: chording to an olllclal report re-' i thia, evening tho terms of tho itlc? to bo offered to Germany Just, boon agreed-to unnhimous d signed by the representatives e Allies and of the United States 8>js. The report further states diplomatic unity has boen com ly. achieved under conditions of Ost, harmony." Abjected to analysis by military rs here, both Allied no,d Ameri the terms pf the Austrian armls Hjnjch are said to be no more . than those for /Gormany, are ?eted to mean absolute sur -'MM stricUong or limitations are imposed upon tho victors. These officers be lieve Germany, left alone, also must throw herself without reserve upon tho mercy of the victors. Final adjustments, territorial and otherwise, aro all deferred to tho peace conference, for which tho ces sation of hostilities paves the way. The German appoal for an armistice was submitted on tho basis of ac ceptance of tl\e peace terms already outlined by President Wilson, and when tho discussion sta-ts the Allies and the United States will be in a position to dictate its results. In fact, the real peace conference has boon sitting in Versailles. Little Choice for the Huns. The judgment of army officers as to the situation on the Western front in a military sense ls that Ger many must accept the armistice con ditions or face a debacle of hor ar mies. Signs of disintegration of the German forces facing the Franco American lines have been evident for two days. The German official statements yesterday admitted an American break-through. If the breach is widened the German armies will be cut in half as effectively as were the Austrian armies in Italy. They then may be crushed separate ly. It Is generally assumed that the German government will receive the armistice terms through Washing ton, as its request was received in that way. The Austrian case does not form a precedent, as the appeal to Washington was suplemented after tho collapse of the Austrian front by a direct appeal to Gen. Diaz, the Ital ian commander. Unless the situa tion of the German annies forces similar action on the Western front, however, lt is assumed hero that tho German case is being handled through diplomatic channels. The present 'Berlin civil government claims absoluto authority over the army. Hi ch lo nd School to Open Nov. 11. Tho Richland school will open on Monday, November 1 1th, at 9 o'clock, with Miss S.
