STORIES OF THE WAR
"What a German Peace Is Like"

"What German Peace Is Like"
 Correspondence of The Associated Press):
 What German Peace is Like" is the heading on an article written for the Weekly Dispatch by Annie Parr who has just arrived in London from Bucharest.
 T was in Bucharest, when the Ger mans entered the Rumanian capital" she writes. "They had evidently de- cided that it would not be wise to shock the world with another Bel gium, and they were careful to keep their troops under control. but they were the masters. I remember male friend of mine who was returning home from dinner in evening clothes being stopped in the streets in the middle of the winter and compelled to sweep away the snow for hours in the bitter cold.
 Many a beautiful home was wreck ed The Germans had no scruples about converting drawing rooms into stables for their horses, and front gardens into cemeteries for their dead l Terrible atrocities were committed l by the Bulgarians. and the sufferings of the prisoners they took were un speakable Of 30,000 Rumanians taken prisoners Only opUUu TeluTHetl, anu they were in an appalling condition. They were skeletons, scarcely able to walk. At the station they seemed too weak to eat or drink. When we offered them food they simply sunk down on to bench and burst into tears.
 Tt was most tragic home coming for the Rumanian soldiers, following upon the crushing peace terms. It has left on my mind an unfoEgettable i'm pression of what a German peace is like. Those soldiers came back in rags and half-starved to homes that had been reduced to poverty They had to witness in silence the insolent bearing of the German soldiery in their streets The officers were told they would either have to salute the German officers or take off their uni forms. They preferred to take of their uniforms.
 There are still plenty of German soldiers there looking fat and well and at no pains to conceal their satisfact- ion at the conclusion of a, peace which has put crushing economic burder on to Rumania and bound the eoGlntry and it's trade hand and foot to the Germans. The one hope of the peo- pie is an Allied victory.

the information desk! I've come to get my bill corrected, please. You see, we were away three days last month, and of course it is quite logical to think my bill should be lower than usual, but as an actual fact it's higher, and II make it a point not to lsr such things pass unnoticed. I think it's so lax, don't you know?
 Yes, it's 50 cents higher than it ever been before, unless it was the month Johns brother from Los An geles was visiting us, and I don't know what on earth the mar could have been doing to use so much light. Of course. he was writing a book. but why he thought he could write a book don't see, except that everybody thinks he can in these days. Oh. you don't know, either, where 1 ought to go to get my bill adjusted? We'll, it's certainly queer that they shouldn't have anybody around here that knows anything. You're just relieving? Well, I must say it doesn't seem to me that you're relieving very much when you're just sitting here without know 1 ing anything at all. Do you think i that man at the desk over there would be able to tell me? Well. thank you very much! I'll go ask him anyway. Yet I don't know why I keep thank 1 ing everybody so elaborately. Nobody has given me any information so far.
 "Is this where I come to get my bill adjusted? I certainly don't see why I should go clear back to the end Of the line. That woman in the gray suit came in some time after did
 How many people are there in front of me, dear?
 Flight? Well. don't know how I'm going to stand it. I'm really faint al- ready. All this nervous excitement don't you know? I should not have at- tempted it, I'm afraid.
 Now there are only seven. but really don't think I'd better wait. The clerk is waiting on the people quite fast, though, isn't he? 1 suppose II

A HELP TO THE REPUBLICANS.

The idea that every vote cast in the coming elections should be demo- cratic has been advanced by many leaders in the past few weeks. The plan has been, of course to make the voters think that they would be doing an unpatriotic thing by supporting a republican who in every way is fitted for office whether it Is congressional, state county or town.
 This plea to support only demo- crats has been made for some time in New York state. It has been set forth as a war need but it is a well recognized fact that this is not q democratic war and not a republican war, but war in which the Ameri- can people regardless of politics are involved and giving their support.
 Thus the Brooklyn Eagle properly takes Chairman Ellzus of the Citi- zens' committee in New York state to task by declaring that he was right when he said that the democrats make no claim to q monopoly of pa triotism, and wrong when he alleged 1t to be a patriotic duty to support Mir. Smith (for governor). The implica- ton is that the republicans who vote republican this year will not be standing by the flag, which is more than far fetched-it is an insult. Mir Elkus should be silenced. Neither the president nor the cause is on trial in this state"
 And what is true of New York is likewise true of other states and there can be no question but what such tactics are going to arouse greater interest in the coming election and bring out the republican vote as noth- ing else could have done. Such 8 move in nation or state is bound tc serve as a boomerang and any move that is made now to call it to a hal will be too late. The republican: have gained by the methods use{ against them. ,,

CORRECTING THE BILL

Waving her hand vaguely toward bench near the door of the electric light eompanys office, the woman in blue serge paused to speak to her ra- ther harassed looking friend
 Suppose you sit down here, Gear, while I find out" she said But I don't know; perhaps you'd better come right along with me. 1 might forget where 1 left you or you might start after me. and then we'd miss each other
 "Oh, of course, I know you wouldn't t it if you said you wouldn5t, but I all ways think of the time I was going to meet Sister Margaret at Blanks S and she sat downstairs in the waiting room and 1 sat upstairs in the tea room for three-quarters of an hour. And then she started up just as started down and the eleva tors passed and we didn't meet at all. and she was so angry, because we were going to buy wedding present for her hus- bands niece-you know she married a widower, and that makes such aw- ful complications, because, no matter what you do. his children are going to think you did it for some reason or other, when, perhaps, you haven't had any idea at all. And when we didn't

 The woman in blue serge accosts a substantial looking man standing near Twill you please tell me where to gC to get my bill corrected?" she asks l You see, I never had a bill larger | than $3.50, and they're charging me | $4 and we were away three days last month, so I know they've made : mistake Of course, it seems a very small amount, but it's the principle of the thing"
 "Let me refer you to that usher, the substantial looking man replied.
 You aren't an usher? I beg youl pardon, but I thought hope you'll excuse me; you see, I'm a little neal sighted and I thought on account o your having on blue suit and no having a hat on

A Letter From a Doctor.

The sort of duty that 3 medical of ficer may have to perform in active service is well indicated in the fol- lowing letter of Lieutenant Herbert R. Mills. of the Medical Reserve corps. who has now been in. France over year. It is written to his wife, and is dated after the fighting between the Marne and Vesle:

MUST FIGHT OR SURRENDER

Every hull which has occurred on the western front since the opening of the allies offensive has been quick ly followed by more intense activity and that is now being experienced. although it is rather difficult to point out any letup in the many drives of the allied forces.
 The armies in Belgium and France are plunging into the enemy lines with the determination which spells success. They are forcing the evac- nation of Ghent and pushing ahead toward Maubeuge with the significant menace which that holds out for Valenciennes and Tournai. while to the west of Verdun they are not only pressing the enemy for importan; gains but they are shelling the back areas for the purpose of breaking up it's railroad communications and thus uothering the Germans not only ir the matter of getting supplies but ir carrying out the retreat. AnC all this is being done with a knowledge oi the fact that it is thoroughly under stood by the German forces who rul,y appreciate what is meant by the pleas which are being made for an arnis- lice and peace. for while the Teuton' are being steadily forced to give III ground they are at the same time suffering large losses in men and ma terial
 Added to this are the cncouraginl gains which are being made in Italy 1 along the Balkan fronts and in Fur ] key. All the allied armies are nov working in perfect harmony and rain ng blows upon the enemy with sucl | telling effect that it is evident tha

GRINDING TURKEY uNpERFoor

General Allenby has secured new laureis by his capture of the Turkish base at Aieppo. an important junction point on the railroad to Bagdad, 70 miles northeast of Beirut and 1855 miles north of Damascus. Things have moved surprisingly well for the British commander since the smash ing of the Turkish army directed by the German general von Sanders to the north of Jerusalem, and if it hal not already been so crippled by the previous losses and the surrender of Bulgaria, which shut it off from the nations allied with it, this latest vic- tory would be of much greater i'm portance than it is.
 But 1t is not to be thought that there is now no special importance attached to this new advance, for aside from the military advantage gained through the placing of the Turkish forces in a much more pre- curious position. 1t means the deliv- | erance not only of Palestine but ] Syria from the hands of the Turks and insures the early joining of these I forces with those of General Marshal | in Mesopotamia for the freeing O. i that part of Asia Minor as we'll a. ] Armenia of the murderous Turks. !.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The longer it Ieoks at it the more Austria admires the dove Of peace.
 Football is certainly a tame game in these days of strenuous war activ- ity
 If Germany is determined to fight to the last ditch it might just as well get right back to the Rhine.
 The man on the corner says: Moth ing is handled much more carefully these days than a dozen of eggs.
 Making things safe for the demo- cratic party apparently calls for the strategic retreat O. politics Is ad- iourned"
 Turkey is getting so Jagged out in it's endeavor to stick to the end that it is easier to run than it is to stand and fight.
 Capturing 5000 prisoners in one day on the Italian front is good work NO wonder the dual monarchy wants immediate peace. Emperor Wilhelm says that he vii never desert his sorely tried people but that will not cause much cheer to Maximilian Harden.
 Hindenburg tells the Germans tt hold fast, but with the loss of 2o,o0t in two days it looks as if that wa: easier said than done. With LudendorH gone and Hindnn l burg talking peace, the German peae' makers are apparently getting read! for a letter of introduction to Genera | Foch.
 When it comes to sound, economica and eficien. government, the peopl or Connecticut know that they hay l the right man at the helm in Governo l lIolcomb.
 When the fuel administrator de clares that there will be no coal fam l ife this winter. it must be a big re lief to the fellow who has no coal i his cellar.
 And while Germany is getting read to learn what the arnistice require ments will be. the allied forces ar plunging ahead for large gains C every front

QUICK RESULTS BY SURRENDER
 ING.

,, Austria has made another bid for Tn armistice and peace. On the pre- vious occasion it indicated it's willing ness to accept the principles set forth by President Wilson but because of rhe changed conditions it became nec- .essary to inform it that the Czecho- Slavs and the Jugo- -Slavs must be sTecognized in their rights. According g to tho latest note Austria is ready to do that, and having accepted all con- ditions for the entry into negotiations for an armistice and peace, it declares that no obstacle exists and urges that the president begin overtures for peace negotiations between Austria Hungary and all of it's opponents and sfor an immediate armistice on all Its fronts.
 This indicates that Austria is cry ting enough that it realizes that conditions are such in the dual mon .archy that it cannot go through an other winter of war and that the pressure Is being increased from the south and west to such an extent that 1t cannot hope to overcome it. It is therefore anxious to keep the enemy of of it's territory, but throughout its whole appeal there is a request for 6 negotiated peace and armistice.
 There is no reason why Austria should be let off any easier than Bul. garia- With that country it was un. conditional surrender. Whether Aus tria thinks it will suffer less by ap. irlying to President Wilson than by applying to the commander of tn, military forces as did Bulgaria, i would appear to be time to inform tha. country that even though 1t ii willing to negotiate a separate peae
 quicker results could be gained b, throwing down its arms and throw ing up it's hands.

wiping Out an Ambulance Unit.

The headquarters of the Friends ambulance, an organization of $50 workers from all sections of America sent to the western front by the American Society of Friends, has been almost completely wiped out by bombs dropped from German airplanes. Two of the staff were killed and four in- jured The others were safe.
 The story of the disaster is told in a report of Major John Van Schaick deputy commissioner in Belgium of the American Red Cross, of which the Friends ambulance is unit, who says:
 "A worker whom We had placed witt the unit was sleeping in the room witt one of those who was killed. He was not injured. He described his expert ence as follows:
 CT was awake when the bomb fell I don't remember much noise, only th' motion. The whole room seemed tt lurch back toward where the bomb fel and then went down. We fell fas

and seemed to be falling through all eternity. My life was saved by my bed shooting across the room. The cupola of the adjoining building fell where my bed stood
 The adjutant of the unit was buried under the debris for three hours. A large oak chest held a beam off his neck. They had to tunnel through the debris to get him out. He was con- scious part of the time and directed the rescuers in their work He was bruised but not seriously hurt"
