PENROSE FAVORS
HUN WITHDRAWAL
BEFORE PARLEY
Others Believe Germany Is
Trying to Avert Great
Disaster in War

Washington. Oct. 9.-There are
many phases of opinion regarding
the Presidents reply to the German
proposal for an armistice. U. S.
senator BoIes Penrose, of Pennsyl-
Vania, observed:
until the territory occupied by
Germany has been entirely evacu-
ateo there can be no discussion of
peace. Even when that is done there
are many other important prelim-
inaries that must ltrecede actual
peace negotiations"
The President does right in re-
fusing to deal with Germany while
her armies are on conquered terri
tory. like that part of the note
especially which suggests that they
should get out before talking of an
armistice. In making the inquiry
as to whom Prince Maximilian rep
resents, the President merely wants
to know with whom he is dealing
and II is a very pertinent inquiry
The President demands that the
German government should come
out in the open and be entirely
frank as to their intentions and pur-
poses"
Uncle Joe" Cannon, ex-Speaker
of the House. said:
The President is testing Ger
many's sincerity by asking for a
definite statement and demanding
the withdrawal of their troops from
Allied territory before peace discus
sions can take place. l think that
he wants to place Germany in the
position of rejecting peace along the
lines as already laid down by the
President"
II G Sapa+or oIyo Paprasapta
tive Fess, chairman of the Repub-
lican National Congressional Com
mittee, and others, expressed dis
appointment that any opportunity
had been given the Prussian gov
ernment for a parley; that ''uncon-
ditional surrender" should have
been the answer.
Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho.
said:
IF the response to the Presidents
inquiry should be that the Imperial
German government accepts the
terms laid down by the, President in
his address OF January, 1918, and
subsequently addresses, then it must
necessarily follow that the dynasty
must step down and out, because
in the address of September 27,which
the Imperial German Chancellor
mentions, the President expressly
states that we cannot come to terms
nor have any bargain with the gov
ernment of Germany The note is
we'll designed to clarity very in
volved situation
Senator Lodge-"I am keenly dis
appointed that the President should
at this stage enter into discussion
with the Imperial German govern
ment, as he has done in the note
signed by Mr.. Lansing. In his first
and second paragraphs he asks for
further information and invites fur
ther discussion. l feel very strongly
that there should be no discussion
with the German government until
they are ready and compelled to ac-
cept the terms we think 1t right to
impose.
In many quarters the German
move is regarded as a scheme to

The first gold deposits found i'll in

region, which lies between Yukon and

boundary. The earliest Of the pioneer
prospettors crossed the ChiIkoot Pass
about 1850 and began mining in the
interior of Alaska six years later after

logical survey department OF the into
rior, bearing upon this area and others
adjacent in the Yukon basin. and
among the reports still available is Bull

known as the Circle quadrangle. This
quadrangle owes its chief present i'm
portance to the placer mines, which,
though worked in a small way, have
produced gold TO the value of over So

The town of Circle is one of the old
ess white settlements on the Yukon. 1t
was located before the surveyor had
determined that the town was not on
the Arctic Circle, as supposed, but 30
miles south of it. Lest the ncarness of
the Arctic Circle be regarded as indica-
tive of ice and snow, it should be noted
that there are neither glaciers nor
permanent snow in the Yukon -Tanana
region It is indeed land of fertile
valleys and grassy slopes, and during
the short but warm summers vegeta-
ton thrives, many grains can be
ripened, and vegetables grow luxuriant-
