HAD NOT BROKEN PROMISE
Surely Small Boy Was Not to Blame
Because Others Thought the
Poker Was Hot.

A farmer. hearing a commotion at
the back of his house, hurried out to
find his little boy, armed with red
hot poker, enjoying himself immensely
by chasing some frightened farm la
borers round the yard.
After n severe lecture from his fa-
ther the youngster promised that he
would never do ii again.
A day or two later the same COM
motion was heard and the same youth
was found causing havoc with the
sclfsame poker.
How dare your said the irate pa
rent.
But father" interrupted the
young culprit.
Don't but father me- sir. !"
The youngster. however, convinced
of the satisfactory nature of his ex-
PLANTATION. would not be slenced.

painted this time."-London Tit-Bits.

KAISER SAYS HE SEEKS TRUCE
But 1t Must Be Pact Made to Sui
the Kaiser.


Berlin.-Emperor William. on Oc-
tober 6, issued a proclamation to the
German army and navy In which
after announcing that the Mace
DOMAIN front had crumbled, he de-
clared that he had decided, in accord
with his allies, to again offer peace to
the enemy.
The text of the emperor's procla.
nation reads:
For months past the enemy, with
enormous exertions and almost with.
out pause in the fighting, has stormed
against your lines. In weeks of the
struggle, often without repose, you
have had to persevere and resist a
numerically far superior enemy There
Ia lies the greatness of the task which
has been set for you and which you
are fulfilling. Troops of all the Ger
man states are doing their part and
are heroically defending the father
land on foreign soil. Hard is the task.
my navy is holding its own against
the united enemy naval forces and is

its difficult struggle.
1.-THE eyes of those at home rest
with pride and admiration on the deeds
of the navy and army, and l express
to you the thanks of myself and the
fatherland.
"The collapse of the Macedonian
front has occurred in the midst of the
hardest struggle. In accord with our
allies, l have resolved once more to
offer peace TO the enemy. but l will
only extend my hand for an honorable
peace. We owe that to the heroes
who have laid down their lives for the
fatherland, and we make that our
duty to our children.
"Whether arms will be lowered is
a question. Until then we must not
slacken. We must, as hitherto. exert
all our strength unwearily to hold our
ground against the onslaught of our
enemies.
1.-The hour is grave, but, trusting in
your strength and in Gods gracious
help. we feel ourselves to be strong
enough to defend our beloved father
land"

HUNS ASK WILSON
TO FIX CONFERENCE
TEXT OF NOTE SENT BY PRINCE
MAMMALIAN TO CHIEF
EXECUTIVE.
Declares German Government VIII
Accept the Program Set Forth in
Presidents Message to Congress
as Basis for Negotiations.

Amsterdam.-The text Of the note
forwarded by Imperial German Chan
cellor Prince Macmillan to President
follows:
1.-The German government requests
the president of the United States to
take in hand the restoration of peace,
acquaint all the belligerent states with
this request and invite them to send
plenipotentiaries for the purpose of
opening negotiations.
ut accepts the program set forth by
the president of the United States in
his message to congress on January s
and in his later announcements, es-
pecially his speech of September q,
as basis for peace negotiations.
with a view to avoiding further
bloodshed the German government re-
quests the immediate conclusion of an
armistice on land and water and in
the air."
Washington = Germany's newest
peace offer, proposing an armistice
while President Wilson considers and
>Ch'cso " liC dlilCo plOpOSdl On
the basis of terms laid down by the
president himself, is recognized here
as the next step in the continuing eff
forts of the German statesmen to save
something from the wreckage of their
dream of world domination, the step
which might be expected from a los
ing trader who makes his proposition,
has it rejected, and offers his next
best, each time coming nearer to the
demands of his adversary, meanwhile
endeavoring to hold out in the hopes
of getting the best terms he can.
1t hardly is taking a position in adj
vance of the American government to
say that if the present proposition
signifies Germany's unqualified ac-
ceptance of the fourteen principles of
peace laid down by President Wilson
in his Fourth of July speech at the
tomb of Washington, it will be consid
cred. If it doesn't; if an acceptance
''in principle" with saving diplomatic
language paving the way for quibbline
around council table, it will not be
considered.

The proposal was made by the

The prince offered immediate sus-
pension of hostilities and suggested
hat all belligerents send ENJOYS to a
Neutral place to discuss peace. He
asked the allies to state their terms.
Further, the prince proposed that a
eague of nations, arbitration and dis
ornament be among the fundamental
subjects of discussion at the peace
conference. He offered restoration
and naturalization of Belgium-the

nifty the outraged little kingdom.
Further principal proposals made by
