s. INFLUENZA
 vANQUISHED AT
 CAMP DEvENS Sergt. Jack Moran Writes Glowingly of Success of
 Camp Doctors. BOYS FIT AGAIN AND WANT TO MEET KAISER Former Newspaper Man Does Splendid Work Sup
 pressing Bootleggers.
Wednesday, Oct. g

A letter received today from Scr geant John F. Moran, of the Provost Guard, Camp Devens, Mass, and chief of the vice squad, Fitchburg, Mass, shows that the thousands of men sta- toned at the camp are enthusiastic over the way in which the army doc tors routed the Spanish influenza, and are eagerly waiting for Oct. 12, when past restrictions will bel fitted. Sergt. Moran was formerly of The Times Farmer staff.
 One of the most interesting para graphs of his letter is where he says: ''Yes, we have finally captured and killed the Spanish germ. Physicians from here are being loaned cities where the disease is prevalent and extra nurses, who were called here a few weeks ago, have been sent to other cities. We cannot understand how the influenza struck Massachu- setts so hard and barely touched Con- necticut, the land of steady habits, malaria, pneumonia, good cigars and finest cops.
 "Old Boston got an awful jolt as did Fitchburg, Lowell, Lawrence and other large cities, Worcester included There are not more than 100 ill in Devens, whereas a week ago 4,000 were in the base hospital and going there on an average of 200 a day Many of the boys fought the disease in barracks, although it was contrary to rules to stay in barracks on the sick list.
 ''The situation has so improved the restrictions on passes will be lifted Saturday, Oct. 12. No passes have ] been issued during the past three weeks. I had the old germ myself for five days, but am in pretty good shape now, thanks be to God. It's ar awful feeling.
 "Bootleggers are yet prowling around these parts. We landed tota of 10 over Saturday in Fitchburg and Lowell. All were bound over for tria | before the United States District Cour at Boston in bonds of $500 in defaul of which all are remanded to the South Fitchburg jail
 i ''The entire Twelfth Division wa. reviewed by Major-General Henry P Mccain and staff Saturday morning 26,000 men fit for overseas duty pass 1 ed the saluting point. They made { wonderful showing on the monster drill field in the rear of the Proves Guard quarters. It is safe to say tha the Twelfth Division will be with tht final spurt in the direction of Berlir l before long.
 "The boys up here are not 8 bi excited or elated over the German i proposal for peace and would mucl rather be sent over and allowed to b, in on the big celebration to be helC on the other side of the Rhine in tn, very near future. They want to se Kaiser Bill on his knees and not seat ed at the round table discussing peac terms.
 "We have been wearing overcoat for the last three weeks and you un
 doubtedly know that the air at tn
 camp and in the Ayre district gener
 ally is much sharper than in old Con
 necticut. We are ready for the win
 ter, which we know will be our last a

the witness said, asked Thomas where the guns were, and Thomas refused to tell, when Burns struck him. Then Thomas said, T show you where they are," and Fitzgerald, Grossarth and others took Thomas back to the attic, ' where Grossarth found the guns. Sherwood was in the party. Thomas was quoted as saying Texas" hid his gun down stairs. Under ross-exam- ination, Fitzgerald admitted striking Thomas while in the building because he thought Thomas was fooIing the officers.
 Policeman Albert Grossarth said he arrived at the club about 8 o'clock, and was one of the party which took Thomas into the attic to look for the guns. He found the guns behind some jugs in the attic in the place pointed out by Thomas.
 Policeman Thomas Minogue was at the club about 2 o'clock, and Has or dered to the alley in the rear. While there he heard several shots fired from the front of the club. and a few minutes later shots were fired from the rear door. He felt the heat from IH0 17h- IA0 Se"Ao AAo S10Pp0o OA-o SAN1 and drew his gun. The shot in front of the club were fired first. He re- mained at the club until 6 o'clock, when he was relieved, and then went for coffee and lunch at the freight house, remaining away about an hour. When he returned he saw Thomas put in the wagon and he also went in it to the station. No one hit Thomas on the way.
 Cross examination by Attorney Lewis, in which nothing new was elicited, consumed the time to the lunch recess.

Confronted by the strategy of Ger man diplomacy the President, in the view of officials, has countered with superior strategy And yet he has left open the way to peace.
 The President by calling upon Prince Maximilian for information as to whether he represents the German military masters conduct of the war or the whole German people, has compelled the new chancellor and those associated with him to render to the world an explanation of their real position. Through the com munication sent yesterday, the last hope of the German militarists to point to the allies as waging war of extermination is considered as hav- ing been removed.
 At the same time the President has notified the German government that its proposed suspension of hostili- ties'' cannot be granted while Ger man soldier remains on allied soil;

The German government must state to the world whether it will accept the fourteen terms previously laid down by President Wilson whole heartedly, or as "a basis for negotia- tions," which position cannot be con- sidered by the United States and the entente allies.
 The step taken by President Wilson has met with the approval of the American people. Newspaper editor iaI comment almost universally com- mended the move. Congressional leaders after carefully studying the communication sent by the President praised it as brilliant diplomatic stroke.
 Distinct approval was expected from the Allied nations.
 London, Oct 9-President Wilson's reply to the peace proposals of Prince MaXimilian, the Imperial German Chancellor, is regarded in diplomatic circles here as clever and logical.

Germans were taken prisoner yester- day by the Allied forces in the fight ing along the various fronts of the battlefield, says Marcel Hutin in the Echo de Paris today. The Germans, he adds, are hurriedly evacuating the Argonne forest. The battle is con- tinuing.
 Paris. Oct. 9-The Germans during recent aerial operations ~>ave been using a new type of thtiammable bomb, combining great effectiveness with light weight. A singie airplane, it is said can carry two hundred of these bombs.
 The only way of fighting the fire caused b. this new form of destruc- tive weapon appears to be the isola- ton of the blaze set, as pouring water on it is literally adding fuel to the ames on account of the chemicals of which the bombs are composed.
 London, Oct g, 1:45 p. m ---(By The Associated Press.)---The British ad- vance between Cambrai and St. Quen- tin is proceeding very wei today all along the line. Theer is net so much resistance by the Germans as there was yesterday, probably que to the enemy having retired during the night.
 l In the American sector of this front the Germans are resisting very strong | ly. The American losses. however, have not been heavy. The total American casualties is less than half the number of Germans taken pris- oner.
