Their Praise of Stand Taken
By President Wilson In His
Answer to Last Note.
Frankness Shown Appreciat
ed In Paris — See Only Mil
itary Problem In The Con
troversy.
London, Oct. 24.—The popular com
ment on the President's note here is
that it contains the strongest language
ever addressed by the head of one
great nation to another in modern
times. The note is welcomed, first be
cause it brings matters to a new state;
further proceedings, if there are to be
further proceedings, will be in the
hands of all the governments inter
ested. Hitherto, so far as the public
knows, the nations associated with the
United States, and which have more
iit stake perhaps than has the Unit'd
States, have been onlookers to the
correspondence.
Will End Discussion.
The note is welcomed, secondly, be
cause it promises to bring the season
of discussion to an end altogether, one
way or the other. No one sees how
the German. Chancel! r, Prince Max
imilian, can fail either to accept Pres
ident Wilson’s- platform or reject it.
.Acceptance will be taken to mean that
the Germans regard their position as
hopeless and that disaster Is immi
nent.
The general opinion is that Ger
many’s military position is not so bad,
but that her leaders will fight on, if
only with the liope'of creating division
among the Allies, which has been Ger-1
many’s reliance of late.
"Watch Germany’s allies if she de
cides to go on with the war.” is the
suggestion among diplomats here.
Separate Peace Likely.
Austria shows no Intention of re
maining the tail to the German kite.
The Austrian premier said yesterday
that the separate correspondence be
gun with President Wilson would be
continued. Germany’s course, there
fore. need havo no effect on A stria’s,
and it will be no surprise to Britain if
Austria and Turk' y both pit w their
own peace furrows if Germany per
sists in the war.
One report today was that the asso
ciated nations would immediately
form a joint diplomatic staff and that
Colonel House would represent the
United States. A majority of the
newspapers have urged the govern
ment to announce its peace terms in
common with the other Allied powers,
and considers such an announcement
overdue.
The Globe, which would have pre
ferred if the President had decline's
to make any reply, says, however, that
his note "is quite uncompromising and
altogether admirable.’’
Choice With German People.
The Westminster Gazette Says;
“Whether the Georman G-cvernment
accepts this proposition for an armi
stice will depend on its estimate of its
military and internal sit ration and
upon nothing else. All democratic na
tions will be grateful to the President
for having forcibly projected th: issue
between free peoples and military des
potism into the f re-rounda’ this
Paris, Oct. 24.—President Wilson’s
reply to Germany was published by
the newspapers here in English as well
as in a French translation at the re
quest of the authorities.
La Liberte says thut if Germany
gives guarantees as demanded by the
President it will be materially impos
sible for her to continue the war.
“Everything is now in the hands of
the Military,’’ says the Temps. “The
reply has moved the problem from
the domain of controversy to the do
main of facts. The President attaches
such importance to the essential idea
that an armistice must make it impos
sible for Germany to resume the war
that be expresses it three times.”
Position of Allies Simple.
“Now the Allied Governments in
Europe must consult with one anoth
er.” the Temps concludes. "Their po
sition is simple. They have not taken
part in the elaboration of the programs
which President Wilson has developed
as regards future peace nor in the ex
change in notes which have passed be
tween Germany and the United States.
There can then be no question of dis
cussing conditions of peace. The Al
lies of E rope associated with the
United States face a purely military
problem. Germany asks for an armi
stice. What are the guarantees which
must be expected?”
Frankest Reply Yet Made.
Marcel Sembat, in L’Heure, says;
“No reply of the President’s, in our
opin'on, lias equalled the present one
in frankness. To tho carpers in the
United States who implore! him not
to reply he turned a deaf ear . . .
Xo better warning could be given Ger
many than that she holds her fate in
her own hands. Will she uncrrwn the
kaiser and become a free people or
will she remain infatuated with the
military imperialists? The choice is
hers. We will treat, her accordingly.
Summary of Official Comment.
The official comment to the Associat
ed Press can be summarized as fol-
Good Opportunity
Make Extra Cash
Pynetree Paper Company, of
Gordon, Is Offering Good
Price For Pine Cord Wood.
The Milledgeville News is carrying
an advertisement of the Pynetree Pa
per Company, of Gordon, offering $.1.50
per cord for pine wood delivered at its
plant at Gordon. The cotnpany will
take the wood in any quantity and
they are offering to pay for same cash
as delivered.
The offer contained in the adver
tisement of the Pynetree Paper Com
pany affords the people of this seel ion
an opportunity to provide extra cash
money at a time when farmers are not
exceedingly busy with their crops. By
taking advantage r f this offer, such a
few communities are afforded, farmers
will avail themselves of the opportuni
ty of a profitable livelihood from now
until the beginning of the planting
season next spring and the price of
fered for common pine wood by the
above mentioned concern is unusual
for this part of the country.
NEWS FORCE ON JOB AGAIN.
After the recent siege of influenza,
the employes of The News are all at
work again and the work which was
delayed cn account of the illness of
the help is being rushed cut as fast
as possible. The News hopes to be ; p

and will then be ready to turn out
printing with its usual promptness.
GENERAL RAINS VISIT BALDWIN.
The precipitation throughout Bald

days has U nded to delay the picking

stage of the war. But let it be said
again that the choice rests with the
German people. It is for them, and
not for us, to say how they shall be
ruled. All that we can say is that ac
cording as they choose so we must act
And fiat is the President’s last word.
We can negotiate with a free people,
but we must demand surrender from a
military autocracy.”
Fears Are Banished.
The Pall Mall Gazette in discussing
President Wilson’s latest note to Ger
many says that any fear that the
President’s deliberate methods of deal
ing with the German overtures betok
ened a mitigation of the Allies de
mands and the foregoing of their com
plete victory will be banished by the
concise and inflexible terms of his
crowning rejoinder.
GEORGIA MAN
HAD QUITE A SIEGE
In Hospital, But Improved Greatly After
Taking Zlron Iron Tonic.
In a recent statement, J. H. Martin
of Mount Vernon, Ga., says;
“I was In the hospital with stomach
trouble and had quite a siege. It
seemed I would never get my strength
back after I came out, I had been so
ill. I ached all over. I was nervous,
restless and yet did not feel like get
ting around. My skin was yellow. My
appetite poor. I was In pretty bad
shape and began to look around for a
tonic. I felt like part of the trouble
was lack of iron In my blood. I was
so easily worried, so easily upset. I
heard of Ziron and knew It would help
me. I began to take it and the Im
provement was great. It strength
ened me, renewed my nerves and
toned up my system.”
When you feel that you need
strength, remember that Ziron is a
perfected preparation of Iron salts,
combined with other strength-giving
ingredients. Try Ziron.
