JUNKERs RAGE.
But Most German Papers Appear to Be
Ready for Sacrifice

Amsterdam, Oct 2S President vii.
sons note to Germany was printed text
ually in the German newspapers on
Thursday evening and on Friday morn.
ing The Vossische Zeitung of Berlin
printed the English text alongside The
note in German
Aside from the junker organs, which
proclaimed the necessity of every man
coming to the front for the emperor and
the empire, many papers apparently CON
template without excessive lament the
prospective disappearance of the Hohen-
zollern dynasty. The emperor's abdi-
cation again is strongly rumored to be
impending,
II is noteworthy that the Frankfort
Gazette hints at a coming sacrifice
with comparative equanimity and both
the Berlin and Frankfort stock exchanges
showed an improved tendency as a re-
suit of President Wilson's note.
Fears are not concealed that the en-
tente conference at Paris win put for.

the exact terms of the associated govern.
ment puts everything else In the back
ground.
Anger and shame are bad councillors
says the Lokal Anzieger of Berlin, which
is content TO leave the decision to the
army leaders. 1t is a significant sign Of
the times that Prince Charles Max
Lichnowsky's pamphlet, blaming the
German government for starting the war
and saying that Great Britain did every.
ing to avert it has been permitted to
reappcar IN Germany.

JAPAN AS PEAcEMAKER
Between North and South China Is on
the Program.

Toxic, Oct. 2s tby the Associated
Press lit is believed that the Japanese
government has decided to take the init
ative toward effecting a reconciliation
between North and South China by Civ
ing friendly advice to the president and
leading politicians of each side sepa-
rately. Tank Shao vi, former premier of
China, now Is in Toxic and met Viscount
Uchida, foreign minister, by invitation
on Friday.
II is probable that the advice given
each faction in China viii be eouehed in
purely friendly terms, with the utmost
care being taken to avoid formal inter.
vention. Economic loans to the North
Chinese government, concluded during the
Terauehi regime, had the effect of help
ing the northern government, but they
excited suspicion and distrust among
southerners. The present government is
believed to be in position to undertake
new policy toward China.

SITUATION UNCHANGED,
SAY LONDON PAPERS
But They Think That Germany's Latest
Response Indicates Important
Events Are Impending.
A. P. ABBOTT co.

London, Oct. 2s.-"The breyity of the
German reply to President Wilson's note
is measure of its insigniheance," says
the Daily News. President Wilson's
note put an end TO further argument.
It is due TO DIR. Solf, the German for
eign secretary, to say that his note is
precisely what the occasion demanded"
IF peace, as the new posture of Ger
many warrants us in believing, is COM
ing within reach" the newspaper eontin.
ues, there must be no delay in taking
steps TO end hostilities. There is no JUS
| tification in fighting on for what can be
had for the asking. The terms for an
armistice must be vigorously but not
! needlessly SO"
The Express, enumerating the latest
occurrences in Germany, including the re-
ply to President Wilson, eXclaims:
"The signs portend enough, pointing
to speedy end OF the nightmare and
indicating an acceptance of the terms
soon to be Dictated
| The Chronicle says 'rhe German re-
ply is, in effect, an unqualified accept
ance Nothing remains but for the as
ISOLATED powers TO announce without de-
lay the program of naval and military
measures which the ar1nistice necessi-
tates. It is unlikely that Germany will
ooisct to the details after agreeing to
the principle. If her situation were not
desperate, she never would have gone as
| far as she has If any confirmation
were needed as to the significance Of DR..
Soils reply, It would be found in Gen.
Ludendorff's resignation"
The Daily Mail hopes and believes
the allies will not do anything SO fool
ish" as to Immediately disclose the terms
upon which they are willing to grant
an armistice The paper says the Ger
man reply does not meet President Wll-
sons questions and after summarizing
the most recent happenings in Germany
declares, in effect, that nothing is al
tered there.
"The sword still is in the hand Of su-
tocracy," the paper says at will be
time enough for Marshal Foch to state
the terms when that sword has been
broken or surrendered"
"The promptitude Of the reply may be
accepted as convincing evidence at least
of Germany's desire and need Of an
armistiee,' says the Post. OR Soils
assurances regarding farreaching changes
are not very satisfying, however Moth
ing has happened as yet to suggest that
ANYTHING fundamental has been changed
in Germany except the expectations of
victory. The first condition Of any ar
mistce is that Germany shall be un.
able to break 1t or refuse the conditions
the allies dictate. If the German gov.
eminent means business it will send
plenipotentiarie TO Marshal Foch, but
from present indications Germany's rul-
ers are intent only on gaining time"
The Times says There is no new
viewpoint in the German reply except
that it seeks rather crudely to impose
upon President Wilson and the allies
the initiation of proposals for an armis-
tice. 1t is for the Germans to approach
the naval and military commanders
with their formal petition for a cessation
of war"

One Lot of Odd Coats
The Epidemic.

"In Boston the health situation is be-
ginning to look more reassuring. Schools
win open Monday, and also the theatres
Here in Springfield the epidemic did not
start so early, and has been later in
reaching the crest Wednesdays deaths
in Boston from influenza and pneumonia
numbered ia high figure, but just half
that of the previous Wednesday -
Springfield Republican.
II was felt in Boston that the epidemic
was particularly severe, but one Boston
newspaper man, called here by the seri-
Gus illness of his mother, figured it out
that if the deaths in Boston had equalled
those in St Adams. figured on a basis Of
population, the Hub would have had
500 deaths a day at the crest of the
wave, instead of fewer than 200. In 9TH
er words, ST. Adams was much harder
hit than Boston. Why was ito No one
can say In the cities they have made
new store closing hours and have done
everything to prevent congestion in street
cars, which, it wars said, was fertile
field for spreading the germ. Yet crowd
ed street ears were not factor in st.
Adams, nor in Montpelier or Barre,
where the disease had terrific run. The
expert investigators have a task before
them. Some are already predicting that
next year there viii be another epidemic,
only Of lesser proportions, to be followed
by still one more later on. Medical sci
ence should do all within its power to
study the cause of the disease and the
methods of its spreading, so that at the
next visitation we may not be hit so
hard. That it will undertake the work
goes without saying. At present It seems
impossible to lay down more than the
most general propositions in regard to it
