The reply of the German gov
eminent to President Wilson's
note was quickly made and was
received in Washington last Sat-
urday. This reply was in an
swer to President Wilson's re.
quest as to who the German
Chancellor was speaking for,
whether for the military rulers
or for a representative German
Government. The reply is as
follows:
"In reply to the questions of the Presi-
dent of the United States of America the
German government has accepted the
terms laid down by President Wilson in
his address of January the eighth and in
his subsequent addresses on the founda-
ton of permanent peace of justice.
Consequently its object in entering into
discussions would be only to agree upon
practical details of the application OF
these terms. The German government
believes that the governments of the
powers associated with the government
of the United States also take the posi-
ton taken by President Wilson in his ad
dress. The German government in &C.
cordance with the Austro- Hungarian gov
eminent, for the purposes of bringing
about an armistice, declares itself ready
to comply with the propositions of the
President in regard to evacuation.
"The German government suggests
that the President may occasion the
meeting of mixed commission for max.
ing the necessary arrangements concern.
ing the evacuation. The present German
government, which has undertaken the
responsibility for this step towards peace,
has been formed by conference and in
agreement with the great majority of the
Reichstag. The Chancellor, supported in
all of his actions by the will of this ma.
jority, speaks in the name of the German
government and of the German people.

Autocracy Must Go!

1T must be clearly understood that the
process of evacuation and the conditions
OF an armistice are matters which must
be left to the judgment and advice of the
military advisers of the government Of
the United States and the Allied govern
ments, and the President feels it his duty
to say that no arrangement can be &C,
cepted by the government of the United
States which does not provide absolutely
satisfactory safeguards and guarantees Of
the maintenance of the present suprem-
acy of the armies of the United States
and of the Allies in the field. He feels
confident that he can safely assume that
this will also be the judgment and decis.
ion of the Allied governments.

The POST Dispatch has received
so many inquiries as to how
Christmas parcels may be sent
to the soldiers in France that we
are herewith again going into de-
tail in the matter.
There are practically two mil
lion American soldiers in France,
and were the Government to al
low the promiscuous sending of
packages, the mails and shipping
space would contain nothing
else. Manifestly this is impos-
sible at this time. And so the
Government has wisely limited
each soldier to one package, and
this not to be heavier than three
pounds. The Red Cross must
supervise the packing and send
ing. Here are the rules:
Only one package may be sent to each
man, enclosed in carton furnished by
the Red Cross. These cartons will be
sent to each Chapter not later than Nov.
LIST. No parcels may be mailed after Nov.
18th.
The label issued to the soldier overseas
by the Army and forwarded to some re-
lative or friend in this country will entitle
the holder to apply to the local Red Cross
for one carton.
The cartons must then be packed by
relatives or friends and delivered UN.
WRAPPED and UNLABELED to the RED
CROSS to be weighed, inspected, labeled
and delivered to the postofice.
No package may weigh over three lbs
No written message may be enclosed.
The sender must furnish the necessary
postage from place of mailing to Hoboken,
NJ.
Anything can be sent in the package
except spirituous liquors, all kinds of poi.
son, explosives, inflamable material,
internal machines, liquids or liquefiable
article, fragile articles and any kind of
matter that might kill or injure another,
or might damage O. deface other mail
The label received from abroad & bear.
ing the soldiers name must be brought
to Red Cross in order to obtain a carton,
and after carton is packed the label must
be brought to Red Cross and the Red
Cross inspectors must paste this label on
outside of carton, otherwise postoffice
cannot receive it. After Red Cross packs
and seals package, it must remain in Red
Cross custody until mailed.
Do not put anything in the package
which will not keep fresh until Christmas
Pack dried fruits and other food
products in small tin or wooden boxes.
Give preference to hard candy over
chocolates, unless the latter are enclosed
in heavy wrappers. Soft chocolates are
easily crushed and may spoil the other
contents.
Do not put articles packed In glass in
the package.
Gifts should be wrapped in khaki-color'
ed handkerchiefs, twenty-seven inches
square.
IN THE EVENT OF A CHRISTMAS
PARCEL LABEL BEING LOST, NO
DUPLICATE CAN BE ISSUED. THIS
RULE CANNOT BE AL TERED BY ANY.
BODY!
When your soldier.boy sends you his
signed coupon-label, take it to the office
of the Richmond County Insurance &
Realty Company, in hotel building, to
Mrs. A. L. Mcdonald, and you will be
given the proper carton.

Must First Stop Inhumane Practices.

THE President feels that it is also his
duty to add that neither the government
of the United States nor, he is quite sure
the governments with which the govern
ments of the United States is associated
as belligerent, will consent to consider
an armistice so long as the armed forces
of Germany continue the illegal and in
humane practices which they still persist

EFFEcrIyE next Mondav. oct.

EFFECTIVE next Monday, Oct
2lst, a new program for all pub.
lie eating houses will be put into
effect by the Food Administration
throughout the Nation.
The plan for the ensuing year
is to secured a direct reduction
in the consumption of all food,
particularly the staples, rather
than series of wheatless and
meatless days and meals.
| Not more than two ounces of
Victory bread may be served to
a patron at one meal; if no Vic
tory bread is served, four ounces
of other bread, such as corn bread
mullins etc may be served. No
bread is to be served until the
first course is on the table and no
bread or toast may be served as
a garniture.
Bacon is barred as a garniture
and ONLY ONE MEAT may be
served to patron at a meal. In
Guided in the definition of meat
are beef, mutton, pork and poul-
try. Not more than half an
ounce of butter or cheese may be
served to one person at a meal.
No sugar bowls are allowed on
the table, teaspoonful being the
limit for a meal, and then only
when asked for. Two pounds is
the allowance to be observed for
each 80 meals served including
cooking.
Simplified service, with meats
and vegetables on one plate in
stead of in side dishes, and only
NECESSARY silverware, and
simplification of menu and the
menu card are urged as a means
of saving not only food, but labor
and paper. The general bill of
fare should be abandoned. The
war program discourages the
table dhote meal except when
confined to few courses and small
variety.
No waste food may be burned
but all must be.saved to feed ami
mails or reduced to obtain fats.
The above orders become
effective in EVERY cafe, hotel,
and other public eating house in
Richmond county as we'll as
every other portion of the United
States on and after next Monday
Oct. 21st.
And it would be we'll for our
people to keep this new ruling for
public eating houses in mind AS
A BASIS FOR THEIR OWN
CONSUMPTION. 1t is their
patriotic duty.
And right here let us state that
while it is entirely all right to
have parties etc., vet it is not
right for food refreshments of an
elaborate nature to be served at
them. And it is to be hoped
that when our Richmond county
folks have parties they will have
them with the "eats" omitted.
Three square meals a dav ought
to satisfy any person, without the
necessity of a fourth at a party.
If the party is not worth while
without the refreshments. then
it is a mighty poor sort of party.
There are some things that a
level headed human being should

From the above reply it is seen
that Germany is willing to evac.
uate invaded territory, provided
SHE has a hand in making the
arrangements. Nothing is said
in the reply as to who composes
the German government. There.
fore, on its very face the people
of the United States were sure
our President would have none
of it. And they were right, for
on Monday the President replied
to this last note-and what he
tells Germany is aplenty. He
does not use the words "uncon.
ditional surrender" but that is
exactly What is meant.
Here is the Presidents answer

Justly Regarded With Horror.

AT the very time that the German
government approached the government
of the United States with proposals of
peace its submarines are engaged in sink
ing passenger ships at sea, and not the
ships alone, but the very boats in which
their passengers and crews seek to make
their way to safety, and in their present
inforced withdrawal from Flanders and
France the German armies are pursuing
4 course of wanton destruction which
has always been regarded as in direct
violation of the rules ahd practices of
civilized warfare Cities and villages, il
not destroyed, are being stripped of all
they contain---.not only that, but often Of
their very inhabitants. The nations as
ISOLATED against Germany cannot be ex-
pected to agree to a cessation of arms
while acts of inhumanity, spoliation and
desolation are being continued which they
justly look upon with horror and with
burning hearts.

Must Be Destroyed Or Made Impotent

1T is necessary, also, in order that
there be no possibility of misunderstood.
ing that the President should very sol.
EMMY call the attention of the govern.
ment OF Germany to the language and
plain intent of one of the terms of peace
which the German government has now
accepted. 1t is contained in the address
of the President delivered at Mount Yer
non on the Fourth of July last.
1T is as follows: The destruction OF
every arbitrary power anywhere that can
separately, secretly and of its single
choice disturb the peace of the world; or,
if it cannot be presently destroyed, at
least its reduction to virtual impotency.
THE power which has hitherto con.
trolled the German nation is of the sort
here described. 1t is within the choice
of the German nation to alter it. The
Presidents words just quoted naturally
constitute condition precedent to peace
if peace is to come by the action of the
German people themselves. The Presi
dent feels bound to say that the whole
process of peace will, in his judgment
depend upon the definiteness and salts
factory character of the guarantees which
can be given in this fundamental matter
