Reported That Next German Note
Will Make Several
Concessions.
MANY STORIES AFLOAT
So Many Conflicting Reports Are Com
ing From Holland and Switzer-
land That Officials Doubt
Them All.

Washington, Oct. 21-COnficting re.
ports about a German reply to Presi-
dent Wilson are coming from Holland
and Switzerland and officials here are
disposed now to believe nothing on the
subject until the text Of a note is
received either through official chan
nels or from an unquestioned unofficial
source.
Reports on Note Conflict.
German government organs an
nounced Wednesday that the reply had
been dispatched, and since then the
newspapers of the border neutrals
have heard almost hourly that the
note was on it's way or about to be
sent or would not be sent for several
days. They have given varying ac-
counts of it's contents.
A circumstantial story OF how the
reply was held up at the lost moment
for further consideration after a
stormy meeting of the members of the
Berlin government with the military
leaders and sovereigns of the German
states appeared to observers here to
have the color of truth and it is re-
garded as entirely possible that the
same thing happened again later in
the week.
More Exchanges Sought.
Every version of the probable nature
of the reply under consideration, if
not adopted, indicates that the Ger
mans are prepared to come forward
with what they, at least, will expect
the world to believe is a long step to-
ward meeting conditions which Pres
ident Wilson has said must be met be-
fore there can be thought of an arm
istice, or discussion of peace. What
ever may be the substance of the note
it is believed here it's form will be
designed to make 1t difficult for Presi-
dent Wilson to avoid further ex-
changes.
According to one of the reports, the
Germans will agree to eXacuate Bel
GUM and to abandon Professionally un-
restricted submarine warfare, but it
will dispute the right of foreign pow
ers to NEEDLE with German internal
affairs Another says the offer will
include immediate suspension of sub
marine warfare, political guarantees
and an armistice (which the Amer
lean and German high commands will
arrange on the battlefield"
Adispatch from Madrid saying the
Spanish government had been inform
ed that all German submarines had
been ordered to their bases appeared
to support suggestions that abandon
determined upon.
Government officials and diplomats
heard all of these reports with in
terest, but pointed out the futility of
attempting to discuss them.

GERMANS LOSE CONFIDENCE
Ludendorff Says Germany May Be In
vaded in Few Weeks.

London, Oct. 19-According to the
Essen zeitung, the decision to reply to
President Wilson's note of inquiries
was taken at a dramatic meeting of
the crown council in Berlin, where
General Ludendorff made gloomy re-
port on the military situation.
In the presence Of Emperor William
and all the federated princes, the gen.
eral according to this newspaper, de-
clared the situation was such that Ger
many might be invaded within a few
weeks. In view of his great promises
Of last spring he was made the sub
iect of bitter reproaches.

MENACE TO ENGLAND GONE

Germans Driven From the Entire Bel
qian Coast.
London, Oct. 21.-The Belgian coast
ports, says the Daily Telegraph, in re-
ferring to the German withdrawal from
the channel coast, were symbols of the
enemy's U-boat campaign and the
threat to Great Bri, in. The evacu-
ton Of these places, it adds, is doubly
humiliating and morally ruinous for
the authors of the war.
The Daily Mail says that by the res
cue of Lille the British nation and
army has been able in some measure
to repay the debt they owe to France.

There was never time when the sac
ri6ces and the help of women were more
appreciated than at the present time.

If woman suffers from weak back,
nervousness or dizziness-if pains affiict

Unhealthy Conditions in City
INSPECTORS Are Scarce

Intlmating that there may be some
startling disclosures made within a
few days. DIR. William H. Wolfram Of
the United States Public Health Serv-
ice, who has been assigned TO this city
until the sanitary conditions have been
improved. urged today that all people
of this city do their part and act as
volunteer inspectors of food places. In
making this plea the doctor said:
Because of the inability of the To-
cal Board of Health, despite their
willingness to DO 30. a sufficient num-
Der of trained inspectors cannot be
furnished me at the present time. Be-
cause of the war conditions i have
not yet been able to secure a regular
sanitary survey squad from my own
Office. Therefore I urge every nan
and woman who frequents restaurants
or hotels to thoroughly inspect at n
time the sanitary conditions of food
stuffs. equipment and personnel and
report to me. I'm case any one is re-
fused prompt admittance TO the kitch-
en-. report the name and circumstance
in detail TO me ut once. This very
necessary cooperation on the part OF
the public is especially desirable In
all places.
"I am nov convinced that the pco-
pie OF Perth Amboy are sufficiently
interested in their own good health
and long living to have only such men
In official capacities as give every as
surance that they will fully support all
rational health progress, even to the
extent of effectively furnishing anyone
who breaks the health laws.
I'm Justice and equity let us now
lay aside all political. and CONNER
cial p~rejudices from the most worthy
program ever Instituted In this his
toric and wonderful city. Detailed
and specific information by letter or In
person on unsanitary conditions are
earnestly solicited. I am fully con-
WINGED that publicity, as exemplihedI
IN this unusually good newspaper OF
