HSUS CIH.MB. LONDON NEWSPAPER CALLS THE NOTE “SUPREMELY GREAT” LONDON. Oct. 25. —Commenting upon President Wilson’s note to Germany, the Daily News says: “The imperial chancellor's note left matters in suspense, but the president s takes them where they should be. The sincerity of the German people's desire for peace is today brought to the final test. If the Germans accept the presi dent’s terms there is no reason why fighting should not end in less than a week. Mr. Wilson, beyond question, speaks for every allied nation.” "President Wilson must win the hear ty approval of plain men everywhere, says the Telegraph. "This sort of lan guage becomes necessary when one has to deal with a people who insist on be ing evasive and tricky in treating with a plain issue and suffer the unpleas ant political malady of being too clever by half.” The newspaper commends President Wilson's correct attitude toward the al lies and especially welcomes his refer ences of the matter of declaring an armistice to the military leaders. The Times says: "If the Germans will not accept a peace of justice without violence then violence will make them accept a just peace. The difference between German violence and the 'force without stint,’ which President Wilson proposed, if necessary to employ, is that German warfare is violence in the service of rapacity, while the warfare of the al lies is violence in the service of right eousness.” i'nder the caption "The Retort Cour teous," the Post says: "President Wilson's note is a master piece of diplomacy. It rivets the Ger man government to an unqualified ac ceptance of his peace terms. In what may be called the president's ultimatum he again offers the German people an opportunity to set themselves as nearly right as may be and provides at the same time some guarantees of good faith.” Supremely Great The Express describes Mr. Wilson’s note as the greatest of the series of his masterly state papers. "It is supremely great,” the newspa pers say. "because it is simple, straight forward. unequivocal and candid. 'No man can quite tell what Dr. Sols and Prince Maximilian really mean. No one can fail to understand what President Wilson means." After eulogizing the note of President Wilson as “an admirable statement,” the Times expressed satisfaction that it reveals the closest possible agreement between American and allied views. The newspaper thinks that, at the moment there is no more than a chance that the Germans will ask an armistice. It in sists that the naval and military arms of the service must be ready for such an emergency and must be adamant in imposing adequate terms to make secure the policy of which'they are the instru ments. The Times is gratified at the manifest signs of close co-operation be tween the military commanders on the western front, while "the presence of Colonel House, who has arrived in France, will make for political, as well as naval and military, co-ordin<Mion." The paper further contends that the question of an armistice concerns not only the western powers but Italy, Serbia. Greece, Czecho-Slovaks, Poles, Jugo-Slavs. Rumanians and Russians. Graphic Only Critic The solitary adverse criticism of Mr. Wilson’s note appears in the Graphic, which complains of the length of the document, adding: "At such a crisis bandying words sug gests a lack of dignity and creates a loophole for further diplomatic wrig gling.” The Graphic, nevertheless, prints a cartoon of John Bull holding a copy of the note saying to President Wilson: “That’s the sort of stuff to give ’em, Sir.” The Daily Mail "President Wilson states the terms with a composed dignity worthy of the greatest masters of our language. Au tocracy must surrender or take a beat ing. and here we may leave the peace offensive, without forgetting to thank Mr. Wilson for the masterly skill with which he exposed its insincerity.” The Pall Mall Gazette says: “Any fear that President Wilson’s de liberate method of dealing with the German overtures betokened mitigation of the allies’ demands and the foregoing of their complete victory will be ban ished by the inflexible terms of his crowning rejoinder."

PRESIDENT WILSON URGES PEOPLE TO ELECT DEMOCRATS Says Return of Republican Ma jority in Congress Would Be Interpreted as ‘‘Repudiation of My Leadership” WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.—President Wilson today issued an appeal to the people to return a Democratic congress in the November elections if they ap prove of his course in this critical pe riod. Return of a Republican majority to either house of the congress, the presi dent said, would be certainly inter preted on the other side of the water as a “repudiation of my leadership.” The president said he would accept the country’s verdict without cavil, but that if it was adverse the power to administer the great trust assigned to him would be seriously impaired. In a statement addressed to "my fel low countrymen” he said that the Re publican leaders "have unquestionably been pro-war, but anti-administration” and said election of a Republican ma jority to either house of congress would “certainly be interpreted on the other side of the water as a repudiation of my leadership.” Wilson’s Statement The president's statement follows: My fellow countrymen: The con gressional elections are at hand. They occur in the most critical pe riod our country has ever faced or is likely to face in our time. If you have approved of my leader ship and wish me to continue to *be your unembarrassed spokesman in affairs at home and abroad, 1 ear nestly beg that you will express yourselves unmistakeably to that effect by returning a Democratic majority to both the senate and the house of representatives. I am your servant and will accept your judgment without cavil but my power to administer the great , trust assigned me by the constitu tion woula be seriously impaired should your judgment be adverse and 1 frankly tell you so because so many critical issues depend upon your verdict. No scrupie of taste must in grim limes line these be allowed to stand in the way of speaking the plain truth. Support Is Weeded 1 have no thought ot suggesting that any political party is para mount in matters ol patriotism. 1 • feel too keenly the sacrifices which have been made in this war by all our citizens irrespective of parti affiliation, to harbor such an idea. 1 mean only that the difficulties and delicacies ot our present task are of a sort that make it impera tively necessary that the nation should give its undivided support to the government under a unitied leadership and that a Republican congress would divide the leader ship. The leaders of the minority in the present congress have unquestion ably been pro-war, but they have been anti-administration. At al most every turn since we entered the war they have sought to take the choice of policy and the conduct of the war out of my hands and put it under the control of instrumen talities of their own choosing. This is no time either for divided coun sel or for divided leadership. Unity of command is as necessary now In civil actions as it is upon the field of battle. If the control of the house and senate should be taken away from the party now in power, an opposing majerity could assume control of legislation and oblige all action to be taken amid contest and • obstruction. Would See Repudiation The return of a Republican ma jority to either house of congress would, moreover, certainly be inter preted on the other side of the wa ter as a repudiation of my leader ship. Spokesmen of the Republi ■ can party are urging you to elect a Republican congress in order to back up and support the president, but even if they should in this way impose upon some credulous voter’s on this side of the water, they would impose on none on the other side. It is well understood there as well as here that the Republican leaders desire not so much to sup port the president as to control him. The peoples of the allied countries with whom we are associated against Germany are quite fami liar with the significance of elec tions. They would find it verj’ difficult to believe that the voters W the United States had chosen to support their president by elect ing to the congress a majority con trolled by those who are not in fact in sympathy with the attitude and action of the administration. I need not tell you, my fellow countrymen, that I am asking your support not for my own sake or for the sake of a political party, but for the sake of the nation itself, in order that its inward unity of pur pose may be evident to all the world. In ordinary times I would not feel at liberty to make such an appeal to you. In ordinary times divided counsels can be endured without permanent hurt to the country. But these are not ordinary times. If in these critical times, it is your v to sustain me with undivided minds. T beg that you will say so In away which it will not be possi ble to misunderstand either here at home or among our associates on the other side of the sea. T submit mv difficulties and mv hones to vou. WOODROW WILSON. Giant Hun Battleplane Captured by Americans WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY NORTHWEST OF VEDRUN, Thursday. Oct. 24. — (By the Associated Press.)— Americans captured an immense German armored battle plane Wednesday north of Brieulles. The machine was virtually intact, but the pilot and gunners made their escape. It is presumed that the battle plane was downed a day or two ago by American aviators. Just when the ma chine landed is unknown. Infantry forces found the monster. FVom east of the Meuse German ar tillery endeavored to protect the plane, but the American guns let down a coun ter fire upon the enemy gun emplace ments. When a lull came American troops hauled the plane to safety. A number of valuable instruments and two machine gum; were captured. The battle plane was equipped with a bomb-dropping device and had a gun and a sighting arrangement so fixed that the gunner can see to shoot directly beneath him. This gun was for firing on roads. So far as known this is the first plane of this type captured by Ameri cans. Half the fusilage was covered with quarter-inch armor. Says Germany Has More Submarines Than Ever I.ONDON. Oct. 25.—Germany Is stronger than ever as far as her sub marine powers are concerned, and by the end of this year will be able to re new an extensive submarine offensive, declared Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the admiralty, in an interview here i.pon his return from the United States. Replying in behalf of the admiralty r warding the activities of the British navy referred to in the American Tra falgar day resolutions. Sir Eric said that it is the tradition, privilege and pride of the navy to have borne the brunt of the see war. and that no part of that uuty was carried out with I greater zeal or more personal affection than the convoying and escorting of American soldiers. GERMAN LEADERS SCORED BY PRESS AND PULIIILIANS NEW York, Oct. 25.- German news papers received here show that sharp criticism ot the German mililarj poi icy was voiced in debate during a sit ting of the main committee ot tne reichstag late in September. Deputy Adolpu, Grueber, ul tne center party, i'nilipp Scheidemann, the Socialist lead er anu now secretary of state .without portfolio in Prince Maximilian's gov ernment; Deputy Fischbeck, ol the I'copies Progressive parly, and Di. Gustave Stresemuiui, ol the National Liberal party, were the cries critics. The keynote ol their remarks was that the military policy reduces the civil government to the role ol a pup pet. According to the Vorwaerts of Septem ber 26, the address of Herr Grueber was the greatest surpi ise ol' the day. In the past he lias been a strong sup porter ul the militaristic forces. Dur ing the debate tie turned upon Chan cellor von Hertiing and also General von Stein, Prussian war minister, ac cusing Hie latter of having forbidden meetings in favor of the Peace resolu tion passed by the reichstag in July. lbi7. • Philipp Scheidemann was unsparing in his criticism of conditions which have arisen during recent months. He said, in part: Worot Year Yet "The last year has been the worst ever lived by the German people. It was believed that, following the con clusion of peace in the east, a military superiority had been created in the west. In that we have been deceived. Au thoritative circles have underestimated the enemy and this underestimation has been communicated suggestively to the people. "it has not been possible, as the military thought, to crush the enemy. We will, on the contrary, be compelled to do our utmost in avoiding being crushed ourselves. "Vice Chancellor von Payer endea vored, in his speech at Stuttgart, to justify Germany's policy in the east. He even tried to harmonize his address with remarks recently made by Dr. W. S. Sols. the secretary of state for colonies. This was a difficult -under taking for Dr. Sols probably would have spoken quite differently- if he had been acquainted with the treaties sup plementary to the Brest-I,itovsk con vention. It is very characteristic that Dr. Sols, as a member of the govern ment, knew nothing of these treaties. Won’t Die for Dynasty “The time is irrevocably passed when the peoples are willing to spill their blood for dynastic reasons. It has been 1 impossible to bring our full force to bear upon the western front, be cause, as a result of our eastern pol icy, German forces must be kept in great strength in the east.” According to the Vorwaerts the atti tude of the German government rela tive to the first Austrian peace note caused surprise in Berlin. “There is a cleft in the alliance,” the newspaper says. Civilian authorities are overruled by the military on many occasions, accord ing to the report of the debate in the main committee. . Herr Scheidemann said that “at the order of the military some police porter forbids a deputy to discuss a question which today en grosses the entire attention of the Ger man public.” It is pointed out that he referred to franchise reform. Herr Scheidemann said that the efforts of the military to “beat down every free emo tion among the people” had the result of making conditions at the front “worse and worse."

S. Sols. German foreign sec retary. in addressing the reichstag on Thursday, (in the address referred to President Wilson said that “the wrong done to France by Prussia in 1871 in the matter of Alsace-Lorraine, whicn has unsettled the peace of the world for nearly fifty years, should be right ed.” » “Moreover, having accepted President Wilson’s program as the basis of the entire peace work,” Dr. Sols continued, “we will loyally and in the sense or complete justice and fairness fulfill the program in all directions and at all points.” Speaking in the reichstag on Thurs day, Dr. W. S. Sols, foreign secretary, said that Spanish Minister Villalobar, representing British and Belgian citi zens, and Commissioner Van Bree, of the Belgian relief organization, visited Tour nai, Valenciennes and Denain on October 18 and reported that the German mili tary authorities had done everything in their power to alleviate the condition of fugitives and residents in bombard ed towns. Dr. Sols said that it had been re ported to him that German authorities had tried to protect the people of those cities against plundering and that ef forts had been made to safeguard food supplies and save art treasures. Only men of military- age had been removed forcibly. Dr. Sols asserted, and even then exceptions had been made in cases of physicians, clergymen, fire men, policemen and those employed in supply food. Referring to questions asked on the previous day, the foreign secretary- said the government emphatically repudiates any doubt of its intention honestly to carry out the principles laid down by President Wilson. He added: “Having in reply to the president taken its stand on his messages, the government is resolved to act accord- “Ths German government emphatical ly repudiates the suggestion that it has no intention of honestly carrying out President Wilson's principles. “Regarding Alsace-Lorraine, which is expressly contained in the fourteen points, we agree td regulation of the question bv peace negotiations. “We intend, loyally, and with com plete justice and fairness, to fulfill President Wilson's program in all di rections and on all points." SENATOR SMITH APPROVES NOTE FROM PRESIDENT BY THEODORE TIDLEE WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 25.—1 n an interview here Senator Hoke Smith ex presses unqualified approval of the president’s latest reply to Germany’s peace overtures. This reply Senator Smith regards as the greatest of the three growing out of Germany’s request for a cessation of hostilities. The Georgia senator said: “I have the greatest admiration for the manner in which the president has conducted this entire correspondence with Ger many and this letter is the greatest of the three. “He is conducting our fight inside of Germany with the force and skill Gen eral Foch shows daily at the battle front. He has avoided a course which might have forced the German people together in what would have been claimed by them to be a purely defen sive warfare, and yet he insists upon terms of peace which would be all we could claim after an unconditional sur render.” CASTOR IA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears Signature of TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1018.

The National Zeitung of Berlin says: “President Wilson has answered quickly.

The Americans directed their shells against railroad supply stations and junctions in the region of Vervins and also in the vicinity of Kozoy. BY FRED S. FERGUSON. WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Oct. 25. —The Americans have won important new- successes on both sides of the Meuse. Attacking on a two-mile front east of the river yesterday they cleaned out four woods which were filled with ma chine gun nests and now are within a mile and a half of the important village of Damvillers. Another attack, carried out simulta neously northwest of Bantheville result ed in the capture of Grandcarre farm (a mile and a quarter northwest of the vil lage). In the Aincrcville region (northeast of Bantheville! the Americans arttack ing on both sides of the Andon brook, drove into the Freya Stellung. the new defense line which the Germans have established. French troops co-operated with the Americans in the operations east of the Meuse. Unusually heavy machine gun resistance was encountered and over come. After losing Grandcarre farm, the Boches were forced to retreat through a ravine which was dominated by our artillery. They lost heavily. Gnawing Process The American attacks have now de veloped into a constant gnawing process. Their positions are constantly improved by taking hills, woods, or farms and forcing the enemy back steadily by con tinuous pressure. Each attack which is preceded by heavy artillery preparation, is really an isolated battle, but as soon as the in fantry moves forward, the units to the right and left of the force move up to maintain liaison to overcome any resistance they encounter. Boche “Bolsheviks,” taken prisoner, declare that boys of fourteen and fifteen manning machine guns have shot down strikers in Hamburg and other German cities. Much Air Activity Despite the ndsty weather, American airmen were up in great force yester day. They- encountered a new squadron of hostile planes, painted a bright red. Shortening of the line in Flanders has enabled the Boche to send additional fliers against the Americans, who have shot down 7 per cent of the total enemy planes on the west front in reecnt weeks. German bombing squads are becoming more active at night in the American areas. Our pursuit planes fight these off and our own bombing squadrons mftke life miserable for the Boche. Lieutenant Benson fired hundreds of rounds of machine gun bullets into an enemy train and bombed two towns dur ing night flight. HUNS WAGE DESPAIRING BATTLE AGAINST AMERICANS PARIS, Oct. 25.—(Havas).—The light ing along the American front on both sides of the Meuse is particularly fierce.

Many- prizes will be offered to clubs and individuals able to report the big gest lists of rat. casualties during the week. These rewards will be well worth working for and there will be plenty of them. In addition to the county prizes the state organization will offer others —a corn club, a canning club prize, a Boy Scout prize and individual phizes for boys and girls.
