SHALL WE SEE IT
THROUGH OR QUIT?

The Government is finding it nec-
essary to call upon us three times
within year to provide by subscrip-
tions to Liberty Loans, sums OF money
hitherto considered of fabulous pro-
portions. These facts should i'm
press upon us as no mere words
could do, the intense seriousness, the
stern necessities, of the situation.
Continued acquaintance with the
more serious aspects of life is apt to
breed indifference, and to distort our
mental vision. AS the soldier shud-
ders with horror at his first sight
of carnage, but later becomes hard
ened, so are we apt to become COM
placent under conditions which call
actually for increasingly strenuous
effort.
The Liberty Loan with its original
Accomplishments of novelty and noise
appealed to our national love of
new sensation. In the Third Cam
paign much of the novelty will be
lacking, but the serious purpose be-
hind the campaign will have grown
Our money was needed when both
the First and Second Liberty Loans
were floated, but it will be more than
ever needed when the Third Loan
is called for. Our army has grown,
our national payroll has grown, the
needs of our allies have grown, the
necessity of forever banishing the un-
speakable menace of Prussianism has
grown. No longer can we hope that
the entrance Of this country into the
struggle will induce an early peace.
More arrogant, more desperate than
even the German Government puts
forward its impossible claims upon the
rights and life of humanity.
Our Government in its growing need
is calling upon us to give up our
luxuries, is conscripting the lives of
our sons, is controlling trade, labor,
and prices, with an ever increasing
earnestness and firmness of pur-
pose.
The test of our personal strength
of character and determination is at
hand. Your Government pleads with
you very earnestly to preach and
practice both before and during the
next Liberty Loan Campaign a stead
fastness of purpose, an unselfish pa
triotism, which shall reflect the spirit
of a man who having set his hand
to the execution OF a necessary task
would rather lose that hand than
draw it back. This is the spirit Of
our President, of our allies-it is
surely our own.

F OR YOUR
INF OR M A TION

Here are come of the things your
Liberty Bond money loaned to the
Government will buy for our boys
over There:
A $50 Liberty Bond will supply four
months sustenance in the field for
one of our soldiers.
A 500 Liberty Bond will supply 200
pounds of smokeless powder for
one Of the big guns.
A $500 Liberty Bond will equip and
uniform four of our bluejackets.
A $500 Liberty Bond will supply 1SO
Of our boys with gas masks, in
which to face one of the dead
liest menaces of the trenches.
A $1,000 Liberty Bond will buy gaso-
line enough to drive one of our
submarines 1000 miles in our
campaign against the underseas
raiders of the Kaiser.
A $1,000 Liberty Bond will supply
$40 thirteen-pound shells to sink
German submarines.
Every Liberty Bond you buy helps
actively to shorten and win the War.

For the week ending September
20, the surgeon generals office re-

further rapid spread of the epidemic

While the epidemic heretofore has

increase in mortality in the next

MUST PRECLUDE
RENEWAL OF
FIGHT
Will SON WOULD DEMAND SUR
RENDER UNLESS PEOPLE RULE

Washington, Oct. "a President
Wilson in acceding to Germanys re-
quest that he transmit its plea for an
armistice and peace to the Allies, has
informed Berlin that there can be no
armistice that will leave possibility
for a renewal of hostilities by Ger
many; that then unless the German
neople are assured of genuine con-
stitutional standing as the real rulers
the United States must demand not
peace negotiations, but surrender.
The Presidents reply was handed
to the Swiss charge last night just
eleven hours after the official text of
the German note was received and now
is on the way to Berlin. Undoubtedly
it was framed in full accord with
the views of the Allied Governments.
The decision of Americas co-belli-
gerents is waited with scarcely less
interest than is the effect of the note
on the German people.
In the view of military observers
here, terms which might be consider
ed for an armistice that would insure
the Associated Governments unreStrict
ed power to enforce peace upon con-
hitions accepted by Germany. would
include the occupation Of strategic
points in Germany, the Rehabilitation
of the German armies, the turning
over of the German navy and the re-
moval of the means of equipping her
military and naval forces.

PEACE NOTE
TO HUNS
WILSON PUTS SITUATION BEFORE
ALLIED GOVERNMENTS

Washington, Oct, 24.-No armistice
except under conditions of surrender
no peace with the Kaiser or his. war
lords, now or later. Thus President
Wilson has given in advance his own
final decision in forming the spoken
men for Germany that he has acceded
to their request that he take up with
the Allies their plea for an armistice
and peace negotiations.
While the Presidents u'timatum is
sinking homo in Germany. the Allied
governments WILL be preparing for
the next move which lies with them
acting in harmony with the United
States.
One point emphasized today is that
the President and the United States
are now through with separate deal,
ings with the German authorities. The
whole situation IS now before the CO.
belligerent Governments.
