WILL GIVE HUNS
PROOF OF SINKINGS
OF LIFE BOATS

LONDON, oct 22.-With reference TO
the paragraph in the German note deny
ing that the German navy in sinking
ships ever purpOSely destroyed life
boats with their passengers, it is pointed
out in government circles that many
cases could be quoted in reply to this
denial. Two recent cases are the Liam
dovery Castle, the Canadian hospital
ship sunk in the Atlantic, and the
French steamer Lydiana, sunk off the
north coast of Spain July 10.
The LlandoVery Castle was torpedoed
and sunk off the Irish coast on the night
of June q while returning from Halifax
with no wounded aboard. The vessel
carried 25S persons, including fourteen
female nurses, and only twenty-fOur
were saved. The German submarine
made no effort to aid the survivors and
even tried to sink at least one of the
lifeboats.
After the Lydiana had been torpedoed
two whaleboats and a raft were lowered.
The German submarine rammed both
boats, cutting them in two. After sew
eral fruitless attempts the submarine
succeeded in sinking the raft, and then
disappeared without helping the sur
vivors. Nine men of the crew of forty
two were picked up later, having chung
to wreckage for more than day. The
second engineer of the Lydiana reported
that the crew of the submarine had
laughed at him when he accused them
of deliberately trying to kill all on
board the steamer.

non-com batantS and work troops behind
the French lines since early in the war.

WAY OF CROSSIS

fortress can no longer hold it is no dis
honor if the commander surrenders. The
kaiser must take up his cross of con-
Guiding quickly necessary peace and ac-
cepting whatever is hard. Let the kaiser
declare himself ready and let him fit
himself with new Germany as her first

This utterance by Macmillan Har-
den, addressed to several thousand peo-
pie in Berlin on Sunday. was loudly
applauded.
Herr Harden, whose plain-spoken
language in Die Zukunft. of which
he is editor, has caused a suspension
OF that journal on several occasions,
was permitted, according to the re-
ports of his address. to speak freely
and without hindrance. His remarka-
BILE declaration respecting surrender and
the "kaiSer's cross" followed a review
of the situation in which he pointed out
that Bulgaria was occupied, Turkeys
fate was sealed and Austria-Hungary
was out of the fight.
The meeting ended in a riotous dem

1T is one of the most cruel ironies
that this war, which was begun to
maintain an impossible Austria, should
be ended by the declaration of that
self-same Austria that it cannot exist"

in accepting the consequences of acts

I'VE must make sacrifices. The en-
peror also must make sacrifices. He

REPLY BETRAYS
ENEMY COLLAPSE,
PARIS PAPERSSAY

PARIS, Oct. 22-The German reply
to President Wilson was received here
too late for the afternoon papers, but
was eagerly discussed in official cir
cles and in parliament. Among deputies
of all shades of opinion the impression
was first of all that the reply betray-
ed more than previous communications
the state of depression and the demon
aliZatiOn of the German people as the
result of the allies victories.
AS 4 whole the note is found to be
equivocal and tortuous and platitudi-
nously phrased as to leave the door
open for all sorts of quibbling. No
where is there evidence IN the reply OF
a genuine desire to accept the only way
in which peace can be concluded, ac-
cording 10 expression of opinion here
on the contrary, all that is apparent
Is the urgent desire or the German
general staff to get an armlsuce at
any price in order to reOrSanIZe Its
reserves OF men and material There
fore it is generally believed that the
reply is not likely TO be considered at
Washington.
The Figaro says that the men who
com bined to write the reply to PreSl-
dent Wilson have translated the an
guish, disarray and powerless anger Of
the people in whose name they pre-
tend to speak"
The &c. man note is a typical docu-
ment," says the Matin. 'In it are eX-
pressed the sentiments OF a barbarous
people who failed in foray. There is
not a word in the note which reveals
that stoical strength of which France
and other nations have so often given
proof in misfortune. Nevertheless by
a remnant Of that lying trickery innate
in the Teuton, our adversary seeks still
to deceive himself by lulling himself
against all evidence and hopes. by one
does not know what crazy illusion, to
c11rp n elDneT0-
ismS and equivocations.'
The journal says the note seeks to
divide the allies and seeks also to draw
from President Wilson formal declara-
tion that nothing will be asked con-
trary to the honor of the. German peo-
pie but an avowal of defeat"
Colonel de Thomasson in the Petit
''The note is proof that the German
high command considers the situation
of its armies most grave, but not yet
desperate"
"rhe German government is again
trying to quibble," says L'Homme Lii
bre. "Still, while humiliating itself it
does not admit it's defeat, but one feels
il is at the end of it's resistance"
Marcel Cachin, writing in Humanite,
says:
ION every point the German govern
ment clearly shows an effort at con-
Citation. Good sense and reason die
tate that we do not persist in talking
of traps and tricks We said few
days ago that the conversations begun
on october 6 would be continued. We
may observe that a new step toward
Just peace has been made this day."

Apparently the rainy season has COM
