Five-Cent Fare Proposed for Bay State Street Railway
The Public Service Commission urges restoring a five-cent fare across the Bay State Street Railway system with excess operating costs shared by riders and communities. It warns higher fares would raise city congestion and threaten service, and opposes wholesale route abandonments as harmful to workers and merchants. Public trustees must cover full service costs from riders.

Germans Accept All Armistice Terms In 6 O'clock Signing
The armistice terms were signed at 6 p m Sunday aboard Marshal Fochs private car in Treves ending a standoff over signatory conditions. The accord limits German operations against Poland to fixed lines and opens access between Polish interior and the Baltic Sea. Disarmament plans cover both land and naval forces with Helgoland fortifications and Kiel Canal adjustments expected, as Foch returns for final details. A later comprehensive settlement may ease blockades and enable relief. The Russian question received a fresh hearing but yielded no decision.
