SAYS UNDERSTANDING COMING

Amsterdam, October S.-"Militarism
 has not yet attained it's aim of peace by annexation, violence and oppres- sion-a peace by understanding is
 coming instead" said Dr. Bernard , Dernburg former minister of colonies, speaking at Chemnitz, SaXony.
 With Prince Maximilian," he added. "the old German ideal comes to the fore-not what is useful, but what is right and moral"
 Such peace will bring new era and new and better times will dawn
 for Germany and the world, based on justice in thought and action. A new era means a fundamental revolutions ary transformation of governmental system for the entire future. 'Militarism is an expression of vio- lence without the restriction of author ity. It terrorizes the entire state | life
 "President Wilson's 14 old and five new points can be accepted by us, II put forward honestly. without humil- iation for Germany. We shall not aC- cept an unjust humiliating peace. The new ministry is not only ministry Of peace, but if necessary ministry of national defense and, if it must be, to l the bitter end.''

HOST BATTALION
 FINALLY RESCUED Several Hundred Ameri- cans, Completely Sur
 rounded, Hold Huns at Bay for Five Days

With the American Forces Northwest or verdun, October 8.--(By the Associated Press. 1.-The American Host battalion in the Argonne forest was rescued at GAO o clock yesterday. Though it had en- countered terrific opposition it was found virtually intact, few of it's members be- ing killed or wounded.
 The lost battalion, whose whereabouts was a mystery for sometime after It's disappearance during the attack along the edge of the Argonne, comprised several hundred men under the command or Maj. Charles Whittlesey. Completely surrounded by the Germans, they made their stand for five days with their pis- tols and rifles and few machine guns. When relief reached them their stock or cartridges was almost gone and the men were in weakened condition from lack of sustenance and the effects of the dampness of these fall days, from which the trapped infantrymen had no blankets to protect them.
 The relief expedition encountered great difficulty in aiding the rescued men, some of whom were so weak they had to be carried.
 Medical supplies and food are being rusEed to their aid

 S. All French territory should be freed
 and the invaded portions restored, and the wrong done to France by Prussia in 1871 in the matter of Alsace-Lorraine, which has unsettled the peace of the world for nearly 50 years, should be righted in order that peace may once more be made secure in the interest of all.
 g. A readjustment of the frontiers of Italy should be effected along clearly recognizable lines of nationality. | 10. The people of Austria-Hungary whose place among nations we wish to see safeguarded and assured, should be accorded the freest opportunity of au- tonomous development.

 | F. The Turkish portions of the present Ottoman empire should be assured se- , cure sovereignty, but the other national | tiles which are now under Turkish rule | should be assured an undoubted security l of life and an absolutely unmolested op- l portunity of autonomous development, l and the Dardanelles should be perma- | nently opened as free passage to the ships and commerce of all nations un- i der international guarantees.
