Washington, Oct. 8-President Will
son has informed the German govern
ment that before the United States
can discuss an armistice German
troops must withdraw from all in
vaded territory.
He asked Chancellor Macmillan
whether he represented the German
people or the authorities Of the en-
pire who are conducting the war.
The message is not reply but
an inquiry.
He asked whether the imperial
German government accepted the
terms laid down by the president in
his addres sto Congress. January g.,
and in subsequent addresses, and if
ats object in entering into discus
sions would be only to agree upon
practical details and their applica-
ton" "'~HNy
The note said the president deemed
it necessary to be sure of the exact
meaning of the chancellor's note in
order that the "reply shall be candid
and straightforward"
The note said the president would
not feel at liberty to proposed ces-
sation of arms to governments with
which the United States was associ-
ated against the Central Powers, so
long as the armies of those powers
were upon their SOIL"
Washington, Oct. 8.-The presi-
dents reply to the German and Aus
trian request for an armistice and
peace negotiations will probably be
dispatched before night, if it is not
already cabled. After a conference
between the president, Colonel House,
Secretary Lansing and Secretary Tu-
multy, the latter announced that Sec
retary Lansing would see newspaper
correspondents at 4 o'clock and prob
ably would have something for them.

In company with my colleagues
have seen In my six weeks tour the
shipyards and the factories Of our
great Ally Britain, have been
amongst the battle ruins of France,
and I have seen and chatted with the
soldiers of the British and French
arfies, And 1 return to America in
good heart.
I don't believe in effervescent OPP
tlmistic eye-wash. We of the La
Dor movement in America are accus-
toned to look realities right in the
face. and to act accordingly. And
after all I have seen and heard dur
ing this wonderful tour I am salts
fed that Germany has got to be and
is going to be beaten,
Behind the spectacular side of this
war there is being waged conflict
which means much to the workers
of all nations. Autocracy and
demoncarcy are at deaths grips.
One must conquer and one must
die.
The democracies of the Allied coun-
tries realize what this struggle
means, and when the working classes
OF the Central Powers realize it also
they will be glad to see the victory
on our side.
1 have had opportunities of study
ing the Labor movement in Britain,
and have come to q definite conclu-
sion which I propose to report to the
American Federation of Labor and
through that body to the conven-
ton.
My conclusion is that the Labor
movement in Great Britain which we
in America understand to be the
trades union movement composed en-
tlrely Of the men in the mill mine
and factory, are doing everything
they can to assist their government
in the successful prosecution of the
war.
All true trades unionists have rec
ognized that to maintain their liber-
ties Berlin's power must be destroy
ed. To compromise with it means
only a cessation of hostilities with
a continued growth of militarism as a
natural consequence of that COM
promise.
There must be no compromise in
this struggle; 1t must be n fight to a
finish with victory to one side and
defeat to the other.
Therefore trades unionists must be
loyal to themselves and their class ami
fight on until victory, which means
so much, is gained.
The issue must be determined now
so that the future peace of the world
may be secured for all time.
1t would not be possible to study
Labor conditions in Britain without
noting one feature, which is not a
healthy one, for the Labor move.

but he rises higher than the law.
There is not now, and never has
been, in any of GoebePs meat pro-
ducts a trace of starch or any other
cereal filler. Should we have credit
for this voluntary movement in adj
vance of the law? I say yes
GoebeTs frankfurters, bolognas and
sausages are all meat, clean meat,
wholesome meat, meat cut, trimmed
ground, spiced, mixed, smoked and
cooked in a sterilized equipment by
uniformed workers in kitchens whose
walls are tiled.
There are no wooden picking watts
in the Goebel plant. They are all con-
crete.
His Brand Means Something
The GoebeI brand on a ham means
that ham has been honestly picked,
depending on its weight, from twenty
two to forty days; honestly smoked
in a hardwood smokehouse, honestly
cooked for at least five hours. They
don't use the hurry-up syringe to
squirt quick cure into a Goebel ham.
They could, but they don't.
The Goebel brand on a piece Of
bacon means just what it says.
The Goebel brand on a, pork pie
means that the pork in that pie is
| inspected and passed pork, cooked at
| soc degrees Fahrenheit for forty
minutes

pork sausage, metwurst frankfurt
| tiers, bologna, meat loaves, smoked
! tongue and other beef and pork spe-

them the essence of excellence and
upon them the marks of decency and
self-respect.
The Goebel brand on lard means
that that lard is made of leaf and
| back fat, fresh and clean, needing
none of the heroic treatment of Full
ler's earth to bleach it white.
The scrupulous attitude of this
man Goebel toward the products that
bear his name is indicated by the
ozone machines with which he has
equipped his entire establishment for
the purpose of throwing into the air
of his already honest workshop the
ethereal attributes of sterility.
