K TEARLY everybody who goes
IN to Cairo visits the ostrich
farm, six miles outside the
city; but not everybody learns the
story Of the great ostrich who
wears the golden COLLAR story
which Is closely interviewer with
that Of the bright-eyed but de-
formed young Arab Yusuf, who
keeps watch from the central tower
overlooking the farm.
/ would not have unearthed the
story myself had l not brought a
letter of introduction to Mustapha
Bey, the owner of the farm. Clever,
taciturn Yusuf would simply have
answered my questions, with smil-
ing courtesy, perhaps even trans
lating the Arabic inscription on the
collar, but entering not at all into
the dramatic details which were i'm
piled by it. l did indeed, notice, as
/ looked down from the tower, the
gigantic form Of the ostrich, and l
asked, why is that big fellow kept
alone in that pen? Is he danger
ous?"
Yusuf replied, in broken English,
with a dreamy smile on his brown
face, HE good ostrich, Sais good
ostrich, but people 'fraid." And he
leaned over the railing and gazed
at the great creature, with evident
affection.
After a moments silence, he
gave me a searching but kindly
look, and asked, want Sais speak
to you?"
"Yes," / answered, at a venture.
He uttered a peculiar cluck, and
the ostrich, standing, as judged.
over six. feet high, looked intently
up at us; another cluck and a hiss
ing sound from the dwarf, and the
great bird made a few powerful
strides half around his pen, then
rose in a mighty leap, upborne by
the spring Of his powerful legs and
by his black, glossy wings, and
came over the seyen-foot wall Of
sun-dried bricks, as IL 1t had been
q toy-fence. I caught my breath,
involuntarily, at his amazing dis
play Of power, and my surprise
deepened into alarm as Sails
rounded the corner Of the wooden
tower, and came, half leaping and
half flying, up the stairway toward
US.
Yusuf suspected my fear, for he
laid his thin, dark hand on my arm
reassuringly. mo 'fraid, no 'fraid,"
he said, with a quiet smile.
Up came the mighty creature,
three stairs at a time; and I shrank
behind the dwarf, and was
ashamed. When sails reached the
platform, he lowered above me and
seemed like some prehistoric
winged monster; his sinewy legs
were a grayish pink, and seemed
possessed of limitless strength; his
long, plant neck darted restlessly
about, and his bright eyes scanned
me with fearless curiosity. The
dwarf reached up his arm and laid
it affectionately upon the golden
collar around the creatures neck,
and with his other hand offered a
piece Of sugar. The two strange
beings were evidently intimate
friends, and l judged that the
Arabic, in which Yusuf talked soft
ly to him, was made up of endear-
ing phrases.

Allied troops continue their vigor- ous blows for important gains in Flanders and from the Disc to the Mouse are smashing through the net work of railroads. In western Elan ders the allies are now within two miles of Courtrai, an important rail- way center. The allies also dominate with guns the railroad from Lille to the Belgian coast. Enemy resistance appears to be only for the purpose of delaying the allies until the evacua- fion of Belgium is completed. East of the Disc the French have advanced between five and six miles from Laon. The French now threaten Rethel, the railway junction between Argonne and the Mouse.
 The Americans are battling through German wire entanglements while the French are moving forward west of the forest.

 Say to the people of your county, "Will you raise your quota? Unless you do worldwide disgrace and shame will come" None else can correct your share of the load Your tional disgrace will surely come. Will your people let insidious Ger man propaganda and peace proposals, which any clear thinking man knows must be rejected, break down your efforts? No peace can come except ing from victory of arms, and no armistice until Germany is broken in spirit, humiliated, acknowledges her wrong doing, evacuates territory, recalls her submarines, stacks her arms and internationally surrenders. No peace will come through barley with German monsters who have out ragged civilization, murdered our wounded soldiers and innocent by islanders. Influenza is no doubt an- other form of German atrocity. Ev- cry one must be aroused to the neces- sity of overcoming all obstacles. If your workers are ill, you are author ized to commander the services of others. We shall not fail. We must fight every hour of the present week.

[ V 1 Washington, Oct. 14.-President Wilson has answered Germany's peace proposal with a decision which fulfills the expectations of support CTS of his diplomacy and dispels the fears of those who predicted he would substitute victories at arms with de- feats at diplomacy
 No peace with kaiserism. Auto- cracy must go. No armistice can even be thought of while Germany continues her atrocities on land and sea. One cannot be considered unless it fully is dictated by the allied conn manders in the field in such terms as absolutely provides safeguards and guarantees that Germany's part will not be scrap of paper.
 This in few words is the presi- dents answer.
 If it does not bring a capitulation which may be more than an uncon- ditional surrender, allied diplomats and American officials believe it may cause revolution in Germany.
 It speaks for the entente allies as well as the United States.
 The dispatch of the presidents re- ply was followed by the issue of this formal statement at the White House by Secretary Tumulty:
 "The government will continue to send over 250,000 men with thelr supplies every month, and there will be no relaxation of any kind.'
 Quite outside the formal phrases of diplomatic document, that was President Wilson's word to the world that he had not thought of stopping the fighting at this stage.
