Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1918-10-14


London, Oct. 14.-NO temporary
armistice, nor any armistice at all,
unless accompanied by Germany'S
unconditional surrender is the dom
inant note in most of the comment
on the peace situation in this morn
ing's newspapers.
The allies will take nothing less
than unconditional surrender in
the field and there must be no ar
mistice until defeat in the field is
acknowledged by the enemy" says
the Post. Otherwise the war has
been fought in vain"
The paper sees in Germany's en-
deavor TO open peace negotiations
merely an attempt to avoid disas-
ter and save her military reputation
and adds:
1T is not the first time the Ger
mans have enormously assumed
that President Wilson does not un-
deTstand the people-with whom he
is dealing. But President Wilson
knows the enemy as we'll as do the
allies. Germany's idea in this dis
cussion is to steal the advantage.
Her design is to first create dis
sension between the United States
and the allies. If DR.. Solf, with
sham democracy, can get the allies
and America to talking he will have
achieved the purpose for which he
and Prince Max We're appointed.
Says Answer EVades.
The Times regards Germany's
answer as neither candid nor
straightforward, and says that Ger
many evades, adding: The asso-
ciated governments have not the
slightest intention OF accepting
mixed commissions 10 make ar
rangements concerning an evacua
tion of allied territory. An armi-
stice with the central powers can
be reached only on the conditions
analogous to those accepted by Bull
garia The lesson for the aSsOciat-
ed governments is plain. 1t is to
hold firmly together and support
their armies on the field by keeping
a united front at home while. Presi-
dent Wilson prepares that candid,
straightforward reply which it is
his avOwed intention to make"

COLLEGES HAVE
DIFFICULTY IN
FO0TBALLPLA
Only few Hours a Week De-
voted to Practice of
Football.

New York, Oct. 26.-The difficulties
under which football practice and,
play is being attempted at a number
Of the eastern colleges Is typif1ed by
the experiences at Cornell and West
Virginia. An outline Of the time pos
sible for athletics at Cornell Is given
in a recent article on the subject,
printed in n of the university pub
locations. In part it is as follows:
Hours that have been set aside for
recreation and sport purposed are
Wednesday afternoons from 4 to 6
o'clock and Saturday afternoons. An
additional period has been. granted for
practice Of the football team, from 4
to g. o'clock Monday afternoons. Thus
the football team will have four
hours outdoor practice a week be-
sides Saturday afternoon for playing
such games as it may be possible to
arrange.
"As the war department Is empha-
sizing athletics for recreation, track
athletics are likely to be Of an in
formal character not unsimilar to the
programs that coach Jack Moakley
has arranged in the past for intercol-
lege andStntercompany games. An at
tempt will be made to provide sports
and exercises that will be of physical
benefit and at the same time be en-
pertaining. m

is that, before the war. the balance
of trade between the United States

BAKER MAKES MAKES I.
SELF AT HOME

Tries out Soldiers Packs and
Continually "Borrows"

London, Sept. 2S.-(Correspond-
ence Of The Associated Press. )-En-
listed men of the American army
grinned sympathically as they watch,
ed the American secretary of
Newton D.. Baker, trudging back and
forth carrying the heavy pack. of the
American soldier, on his back, when
he visited, a camp Of American SOL
diers in the Winchester district while
n England. The men were adjusting
their cumbersome kits when the Sec
rotary arrived at the camp.
II would like to try one of Them"
said the secretary to the sergeant.
The Lord Mayor Of Winchester, the
camp commandant and a group of
soldiers all gathered about as Mr..
Baker lifted the pack and adjusted it
back and forth two or three times car
rying the seventy-pound load while a
pair Of heavy hob-nailed trench boots,
swinging from the bottom of the kit,
banged against his legs.
Its heavy, alright" he comment
ed as he unburdened himself, "but not
so heavy as the Frenchman's pack. I
tried one Of them on a few days ago
and 1t gave me an additional respect
for the Frenchman as a soldier"
The secretary made himself at

diers. Everywhere he carried his
pipe and several times filled it from
some soldiers pouch as he engaged In
a casual chat with the men. THE
whole country is behind you with
everything it possesses" was one of
his frequent messages to the fighting
men. In the Red Cross hospitals the
secretary went through the wards and
had a few CHEEKY words for each of
the patients.
In some of the camps he dropped
in. upon the soldiers at mess time and
lunched with the big crowd of them in
the mess tent besides a little woodland
stream. He looked through scores of
barracks and living quarters. He in
spected kitchens and spent ten min
utes watching soldiers playing a scrub
game Of baseball. His inspection of
the Red Cross activities was compre-
hensive. He saw the bathing houses
in operation with long lines Of rain
coated soldiers waiting their turn at
the showers. He saw the dental huts,
with the Red Cross dentists busy at
their work. He visited several Red
Cross recreation huts and listened to
the Red Cross Jazz bands at prac-
tice.
At one camp he found his cousin,
Sergeant Harry Chiswell Of Cleveland,
and chatted with him for ten min
utes. Altogether the secretary gained
an excellent impression of what the
American army authorities have done
in preparing comfortable and sanitary
camps for the soldiers in the Win
chester district, south Of London, in
preparation for the winter.

PEACE NEARER.
SAY HUNPAPERS
Many Papers Not Satisfied
With Wilson's Views and
Urge War to the End.

Amsterdam, Oct. 26.-Although the
German newspapers are not satisfied
with President Wilson's latest note,
many Of them say that it ear pro-
gress toward peace. This feeling was
reflected in operations yesterday on
the Berlin stock exchange in a n adj
vance in prices.
The Kreuz Zeitung of Berlin, how
ever, apparently does not look for an
early ending of the war. This news
paper, which hitherto has r%efrained
from opposing President Wilson'S de-
mand, advocates war to the end. It
says the president Sin the style of an
American boxer has posed himself for
a last blow in the face Of the German
people, expressing his intentions with
brutal frankness."
