QUIT INVADED SOIL AND
TELL WHAT YOU MI

The huns feel that they are
whipped and have made a squeal
for peace. President Wilson an
swers them like this:
Washington, D. c., Oct. S,-The
text of President Wilson's commu-
nication to the Imperial German
Government, handed to the charge
of Switzerland today, follows:
Sir: 1 have the honor to ac-
knowledge, on behalf of the Presi-
dent, your note of October G, inclos-
ing the communication from the
German Government to the Presi-
dent, and l am instructed by the
President to request you to make
the following communication to the
Imperial German Chancellor:
Before making reply to the re-
quest of the. Imperial Government,
and in order that that reply shall be
as candid and Straightforward as
the. momentous interests involved
the United Safes deems it necessa-
ry to assure himself of the exact
meaning of the note of the Imperial
Chancellor. Does the Imperial Chan
cellor mean that the Imperial Gov
ernment accepts the terms laid
down by the President in his ad-
dress to the Congress of the United
States on the Sth of January last,
and in subsequent addresses, and
that its object in entering into dis
cussions would be only to agree
upon the practical details of their
application?
The President feels bound to say
with regard to the suggestion of an
armistice that he would not feel at
liberty to propose a cessation of
arms to the Governments with
which the Government of the Unit
ed States is associated against the
Central powers, so long as the ar
mics of those Powers are upon
their SOIL The good faith of any
discussion would manifestly depend
upon the consent of the Central
Powers Immediately to withdraw
their forces everywhere from in
yaded territory.
The Pro lent also feels that he
is justifiea In asking whether the
Imperial Chancellor is speaking
merely for the constituted authori-
ties of the Empire, who have so far
conducted the war He deems the
answer to these questions vita
from every point of view.
Accept, sir, the renewed assur'
ances of my high consideration.

WHOLE NATION AT WAR;
NOT ONLY SOLDIERS
BY c. n. Martin, Major General U. S.

The Fourth Liberty Loan should
again forcibly remind everybody that
the whole nation is in the war, and not

We are teammates In a mighty

ing for centuries. The contending
teams are Autocracy and Democracy,
and life is the stake for which they are
playing. We are now at the very eli
max of that age-long struggle.
Your part on the team requires a
devotion and distinterested forget1ul-
ness of self as complete and mflagging
as you expect from the men in uni
form. No one can do his duty on any
team who measures his duty by any
other standard than his entire abili.
ties. 1t cannot be measured by COM
PARSONS with the performances of
others.
Do not think that the front, only, is
the war; the front is a part Of the
team. like to think that 1t is a part
of sufficient Importance to engage
your enthusiastic interest and support.
The anxiety with which you wait for
good news from the front is of the
same variety as that which the front
waits for good news from the back.
Any especially good plays on any part
OF the team strengthen the heart OF
every member of the team.
