Thousands of little children were
caught in the tide of war and suffered
most because they were not as well
prepared physically or mentally as
those of mature years to stand the
perils and privations caused by Ger
man "kulture." Thousands of little
outcasts had to flee for their lives.
Roads, fields and forests of battle-torn
France were overrun with refugees,
vast numbers of whom were children.
Many were separated from their par
ents, some had seen their mothers
killed, others showed effects of Ger
man wounds and gas poison, while still
others were i'll from exposure and
hardship. All were terror-stricken and
helpless.
Under the direction of John Moffat,
Executive Chairman of the Fund, ap-
peals were made to Americans for con-

Plans were formulated and submit

gave it's hearty endorsement to the un-

The French Government is to supply
teachers who will cooperate with
American instructors, and the children
are to be taught both French and Eng

house little refugees, will be converted
eventually into a museum and hall of

Flames Sweep Garage
and Grand Opera House

Philadelphia, Oct. 21.-A six-alarm
fire. which caused loss estimated at
100000, yesterday destroyed one of
the best-known landmarks in the up
town section and seriously menaced
another. The building occupied by
the Black and White Taxicab Com
pany, at No 1926 North Broad street,
was completely swept by the flames.
Nixon's Grand Opera House. at Broad
street and Montgomery avenue, was
badly damaged and six other con-
Germs were temporarily put out of
business.
The fire started in the taxi com
pany's garage. which occupied the
ground floor of the three-sto brick
structure next to the Opera House.
The cause of the fire is unknown, al
though the police and firemen receiv-
ed reports that it was started by an
explosion of gasoline which resulted
when heat from a tire vulcanizing
outfit ignited a pood of oil.

HOLLOW PRETENSIONS OF
BERLIN PEACE TALK

London. Oct. 21.-"The Amster-
cam forecast of the German reply
to President Wilson," says the
Chronicle, lis considered to contain
the main elements of Germany's re-
ply, otherwise 1t is difficult to sup
pose that it would have passed the
censor. Moreover, it responds in it's
general lines to expectation on the
subject 1t was supposed that Ger
many would merely talk for the sake
of gaining time whereby her troops
might reach new defensive positions.
THE most casual examination of
the supposed concessions show how
hollow they are. The statement that
Germany is willing to evacuate Bel
GUM, but that the operation would
take months, is characteristic. 1t
shows that there is no real accept
ance of the Entente stipulation that
an armistice must be treated as a
military measure and, therefore, left
in the hands of Marshal Foch. The
suggestion is that the Germans
should retire at leisure, whereas, of
course, the first principle of any ar
mistice is disarmament of the
enemy
THE old argument about U-boat
warfare, being on par with the
blockade, is scarcely worthy of COM
ment. The sinking of merchant ships
without placing their crews in a
place of safety is barbarity, as de-
fined by maritime law. AS to the
provision to stop the ruthless use OF
submarines. 1t corresponds by an
odd coincidence with the loss of the
U-boat bases on the Flanders coast.

America and Her Allies Demand
Germany'S Complete Surrender

lied the retreat of the Germans in
Northern Belgium and France
makes even more determined the
purpose of the United States and
our Allies to exact retribution. I'm
conditional surrender" and just pun
ishment is the concrete expression
of public opinion.
Nothing less than the unqualified
surrender of Germany will be dc-
ceptable to President Wilson. The
President has not only laid down
terms of peace, but also conditions
precedent to the taking of any steps
toward their application. He insists
on the destruction of the arbitrary
power of the Hohenzollerns and the
present autocratic powers vested in
the German government. No armis-
tice will be granted unless Germany
is ready to give the guarantees and
safeguards to be imposed by Marshal
Foch and the Allied military advis-
ers.
1t can be stated without reserva-
ton or qualification that there must
be complete surrender by Germany
to these terms and conditions, and
If the Berlin authorities are not now
ready to capitulate to the demands
of President Wilson, he is quite will-
ing to wait until he and the Allies
do obtain what they want. The
President is fully convinced that a
complete victory can and will be won
by force of arms. He is confident
that only political mistake could
nullify the present military and
moral superiority of the Allies
Those best qualified to know the
Presidents attitude assert that he is
absolutely on his guard and does not
propose to be euchred by German
diplomacy or trickery.
The President knows exactly what
he wants. He has told the German
government and people what they
must do. His attitude is one in which
he will yield nothing, bargain or
compromise nothing, but insist on
absolute surrender to the terms laid
down and to the conditions and
guarantees, to be imposed.
