GERMANY REPLIES
TO WILSON’S NOTE
WILSON REQUESTS AMERICAN
PEOPLE TO WITHHOLD
JUDGMENT
AGREES TO 14 ARTICLES
Germany’s Reply Apparently Accepts
All Of President Wilson’s
Peace Terms
Washington.—Apparently acceding
all demands imposed by President Wil¬
son, the text of Germany’s reply to
the “three vital questions” was receiv¬
ed by radiogram through semi-official
circles here. The reply was transmit¬
ted for Prince Maximillian by Solf,
State secretary of the foreign office.
The government asks the American
people to withhold their judgment on
Germany's note until President Wil¬
son has received the official communi¬
cation and has had opportunity to con¬
sider it.
Text Of Germany's Reply
The text of the German note says:
'In reply to the question of the
president of the United States of
America the German government here¬
by declares;
“The German government has ac¬
cepted the terms laid down by Presi¬
dent Wilson in his address of January
8 anil in his subsequent addresses on
the foundation of a permanent peace
on justice.
“Consequently, its object in enter¬
ing into discussions would be only to
agree upon practical details of the ap¬
plication of these terms.
“The German government believes
that the government of the powers as¬
sociated with the government, of the
United States also takes the position
taken by President Wilson in bis ad¬
dress.
“The German government, in ac¬
cordance with the Austro-Hungarian
government, for the purpose of bring¬
ing about an armistice., declares itself
ready to comply with the propositions
of the president in regard to evacua¬
tion.
"The German government suggests
that the president may occasion the
meeting of a mixed commission for
making the necessary arrangements
concerning the evacuation.
"The present Geraian government,
which has taken the responsibility for
this step toward peace, has been form¬
ed by conferences and in agreement
with the great majority of the reich
stag.
“The chancellor, supported in all his
actions by the will of the majority,
speaks in the name of the German gov¬
ernment and of the German people.
“SOLF,

fice, Transocean, Berlin."

Highly Important strategic positions
have been wrested from the enemy
by the British and French, while on
their sector of the front the Amer¬

To the south the French have
blotted out both LaFere and the
greater portion of the St. Gobain ma
sif standing in the elbow where the
line runs eastward toward the Swiss
frontier. Here also the Germans for
weeks had stood fighting desperately,
realizing that a successful advance
by their foes would shatter all the
military idans in the south and prob

is now' being carried out and possibly
make untenable the entire Meuse

Couldn't Understand It.
A newly drafted negro who had
been in camp only a week entered the
orderly room and asked the captain
for a three-day leave. His reason for
making the request being sufficiently
good, he was given his pass. Just as
he left the room he saluted the cap¬
tain and said : “Thank you, sergeant.”
The captain didn’t intend to let
such a mistake pass unnoticed, so
called iho negro back, saying: "John¬
son, one of the first things you want
to learn to do is to address soldiers
by their proper titles. I ntn a captain
—not a sergeant.”
A look of surprise came over the
negro’s face. He said: “Excuse me,

FOR WEAK KIDNEYS
Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason ia plain—the article did not fuflSi
the promises of the manufacturer This
applies more particularly to a medicine,
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, “Take for
example Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re
suits, as many of my customers testify,
No other kidney remedy that I know of
has so large a sale.”
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmers’ Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that so many people claim, it fulfills al¬
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur¬
inary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address

OVER 200 PERSONS MISSING
Lifeboats Are Shattered By Shrapnel
And Wounded And Dying
Men Sent Down
An Atlantic Port.—Scores of Amer¬
ican sailors and soldiers were killed
or wounded by shrapnel fired by a
German submarine after it had tor¬
pedoed the steamship Ticonderoga
1,700 miles off the Atlantic coast, ac¬
cording to the story told by twenty
survivors who arrived here aboard a
British freighter.
There were 250 men aboard the Ti¬
conderoga, an American steamship of
5,130 tons, and all except the twenty
who arrived here are believed to have
perished. The survivors got away in
the only boat which was not demolish¬
ed by the shellfire from the submarine,
they said. Seventeen of the men
reached port were members of a de¬
tachment of soldiers detailed to care
for horses which were being trans¬
ported.
The Ticonderoga was attacked pre¬
sumably on October 2, w’hen she fell
behind her convoy because of engine
trouble.
According to the survivors the sub
marine was not sighted until she had
sent a torpedo crashing into the side
of the ship. The torpedo did not
strike a vital spot, however, and the
captain crowded on full steam in an
effort to escape, at the same time or¬
dering the gun crews into action
against the submarine, which appear¬
ed about a mile off.
“Our gun crew's did not fire more
than five or six shots,” one of the sur¬
vivors said. “The forward gun was
shot away almost at once. The after
gun and its crew was done for almost
as quickly. Then the men went to the
boats, but it was no use, as the flying
shrapnel was spraying the decks and
men fell in scores, either killell or
badly wounded.”
Fear 300 Lives Lost On Steamship
A British Port. — The Japanese j

The Hirano Maru w'as outward I

passengers. The vessel w'as torpedo¬
ed and sunk by a German submarine
when about 300 miles south of Ireland.

struck in the forward en- i

ANGLO-SAXONS TAKE
LAST REMNANTS OF
HiNDENBURG LINE I
Paris.—The Hindenburg line no i
longer bars the path of the allies. The j
definite rupture of it was achieved on
the first day of the fighting in the
new development toward the north of I
the great battle from the Bscaut to
the Meuse.
To Anglo-Saxon forces went the
honor of storming the last remnants
of the extraordinary maze of defenses, i
i nsome places twelve miles in depth,
between Cambrai and St. Quentin.
Apart from this achievement, the re¬
sults of the fighting were notable in
that the enemy’s losses must have run
into tens of thousands of men dur¬
ing the fighting in the various sec¬
tors of the long battle front, in ad¬
dition, important strategic objects
were attained.
The allies are in the open country
on the Cambrai-St. Quentin front, and
are threatening Bohain, an important
junction of roads and railways, the
Americans having pushed within two
miles of that place. Once the mas¬
ters of Bohain, the allies, should they
push toward Guise, vrould take in the
rear not only the Laon-St. Gobain
massif, but the positions along the
river Serre, dubbed by the Germans
the Hunding line, which joins at Chau
mont-Poreien the Brunhilde line run¬
ning along the Aisne.
