"The armistice was signed by Gei. Diaz this afternoon and will come into operation tomorrow at 3 o'clock. The terms will be published Tuesday."

'Epps Brown, first vice president of the Southern Bell Telephone Company, worked himself inio a sanitarium not long ago, the nurses at the hospital threatened to go on strike because the halls and stair. ways were all cluttered up with tele? phone company employees inquiring k about the boss and how soon would he come back and could they go up and see him?which most of them did. They were all there at least once?from the president to the janitor. ?r U.I4 _ ^.,'Ktifn tn I CJU UUUiUJLL t yaj a iiuci uiuuic. i.kj ^ a man than that?if your wrote 3. whole book about him. Mr. Brown is one of the best beloved heads of a big ] corporation to be found anywhere^ It is because every one of the 17,.">00 employees knows he is absolutely ^ fair; that he is ready to listen t.n a grievance of anybody, big of little, and that he will take pains to adjust any difference that may come up j That's the kind of a man he is. Those who are associated with hir. say J. Epps Brown's brain is just a"? big as his heart. He has become a phenomenal figure in the telephone | world, after President Gentry "discovered"' him, rising in comparatively i few years from the management of a l j small local exchange to be operating head of a corporation owning $125.000.000 worth of property. He is a master of detail. There is hardly ai , | operator in any exchange whose | name he doesn't remember; there is not an item in the whole $125,000,000 which isn't perfectly familiar to him He has the rare faculty, too. of beinsr able to impart information to others with absolute clarity. ! "When Mr. Brown sends you out on an intricate proposition he first sits i down and tells you everything there is, to know about it." said one of the telt j ephone people the other day. "You couldn't make a mistake after tnat ir you tried, unless you used consider, able ingenuity." 'Mr. Brown has only one hobby they i , say. That is the employees of the company and their welfare. His vo cation and avocation is work, from' 8 a. m. until after the last office is I locked for the night. The government took over the big system not long ago, with all the others in the country, but nobody i would notice any difference in JEpps Brown's office unless that he i* . working just a little harder for Uncle I Sam than he ever did for himself.
