The reioinder from Berlin, as report

documents transmitted to President
Wilson through the Swiss Legation,
these things are TO be considered;
The condition which our President
on Tuesday last declared 10 be vital

tering into parley Of any sort that the

inslstent prominence Is what radical

the German empire Is denoted by the
domestic processes described 20 Presi-
dent Wilson as the result OF confer

NEED 1900 SWEATERS
FOR SOLDIER BOYS

Sixteen hundred sweaters by Novem-
Der is asked Of the Delaware Chap
ter Of the Red Cross. by the National
Headquarters. The State organization
took Immediate steps to fultlll the re-
quest which came by telephone from
Washington, and have notified the pub
Ito through the press that wool for
the garments Will be sent promptly to
households where no influenza exists.
The call Is an urgent one TO prevent
the boys in the trenches from being
disabled by sickness, and TO keep warm
those who are leaving the hospitals.
Women who are not busy attending
those stricken with the epidemic are
requested to devote every effort to meet
the quota Of knitted garments required.
Since the Red Cross headquarters are
in the Old City Hall which has been
closed during the war on influenza here,
women who desire wool are asked 10
write TO the knitting department, Red
Cross rooms, Sixth and Market streets,
which will either send or mail the

perseded by authorities meeting the
Presidents vital condition, qualified TO
his satisfaction and 10 the satisfaction
Of the Allied Powers OF civilization
TO speak for a German people honestly
seeking a way to peace7 Or are the
conferences and the alleged but uncer-
tilted concurrence OF a majority OF the
Relchstag no more than a form OF cam
outage for that autocracy OF militarism
with which Foch and Haig and PERISH
ing are dealing IN the field? The note
as reported does not supply the need
ed information as TO this. Unless the
President has information through
other channels we can readily imagine
what his answer must be.
All other questions, such a. whether
there IS a real difference between the
already rejected acceptance OF the
Presidents general terms as a basis
for negotiation" and their acceptance
for discussion OF the application
OF those terms, such as the institution
OF an armistice permitting the unmo-
Tested evacuation OF Belgian and French
and Russian and Serbian territory. are
secondary and subordinate TO this.
At present one can see that a peace
OF victory. a peace Of Justice and secur-
fly for the future; a peace meeting
the requirements and repaylng the
measureless sacrifices OF the nations as
ISOLATED with the United States IN this
war OF wars, is nearer than human
prescience could have forseen a few
weeks ago. The one thing certain is
that the German VIII for peace Is grow

I'VE have played a matinee at VIII

ton sale Of seats here, and no program
was sold, as we had to rush 10 catch
the train in time TO play In Philadel-
phia tonight. The committee at VII
mingtOn gave us all red roses and
some sweet ladies kissed their hadns
as we left the hotel. The only unusual
happening at Wilmington was that a
man gave $1,000 10 the Red Cross on
condition that we played the first scene
OF the last act, which we had intended
10 eliminate IN order 10 ring up on
time in Philadelphia. But In view OF
an additional $1,000 to the cause we are
working for, even Philadelphia Will
