Washington, Oct. 15.-President
Wilson's reply to that of the Ger

armistice while the Kaiser is in
charge is on it's way to Berne and
by this time may be in the hands of
the Swiess government and deliver

Everywhere the feeling shows
that the atmosphere is clearing and
that the peace offensive attempts by
Macmillan will not avail unless
crtain of the principles laid down by
the President are obeyed. The pur-
poses of the allies are now under
stood by the German people and
they must see the futility of avert
ing a continuation OF the war by a
compromise.
AS to what will happen in Ger
many no one can tell but what will
ultimately happen may be clearly

the negroes for the liberal manner in
which they subscribed an d their ap-
parent desire to cooperate with the
wishes of the government in every

indeed both for the colored people

AIR FIGHTING.

We did not get to hear Captain
Campbell at the chautauqua but We
did hear him talk little to group
in the drug store the next day, and We
bought copy of his book and read it.
We presume that much of what he
said in his lecture is contained in his
books. 1t is a very interesting story
that he relates, and not a story III
the sense that it is faction, but re-
cital of experiences which makes a
really interesting narrative, and We
mention it merely to say that we have
not yet been able to conceive just
how it is possible to manage ma
chine in the air as he says they 90,
and we do not doubt, but the whole
thing is just miraculous to US. 1t Is
lust marvellous. How they manage to
see ANYTHING at all and to take pic
lures travelling so and 100 miles an
hour, and how they manage to shoot
and handle a gun and the machine
all at the same time And sometimes
1900 and more feet above the ground
and away above the clouds, but when
one comes to understand how to do
the thing it must be very interesting
and fascinating. And how it is pos
sible to fall eight or ten thousand
feet in one of those big machines
when it becomes disabled and not be
crushed is beyond our understanding.
And yet this same man who lectured
mere has performed all these feats
and still lives. He has been shot
through the lungs in one of them and
fallen to the ground in No Mans Land
and lay buried in she'll hole for
hours.
No wonder that he should talk
about the Importance OF having these
airships made of the very best mat
terial and in the very best manner,
and as we understood his converse
ton he was criticizing just a little
some of the work done on airplanes
by some of the manufacturers in this
country, and we believe that is one
thing the government is now investt-
eating. Just as he said, the man or

HUNS HAVE NEW AIR DEVICE
Electrically Charged Wires Hung From

Hostile Flyers.

Amsterdam.-At Zeebrugge, the Ger
man naval and aerial base on the Bel
gian coast, the Germans have adopted
a new method Of catching hostile air
men. Toward evening, the frontier cor
respondent of the Telegraph reports,
the Germans send up IL captive bal
looms without crews and attached to
electrified steel cables.
The electric barrier is said to con-
stitute a menace to all airmen coming
into contact with 1t.
The Germans, 1t is added, have also
manufactured a new and improved
type of airplane. 1t Is fitted with
three propellers, one being so arranged
that it can keep the airpiane station
airy above a certain point for few
minutes, thus permitting the bomb
thrower to aim with greater accuracy.
