oyster Ray, N. Y, Oct 25-Cuaonel
Roosevelt last evening sent telegram
to United States Senator Lodge IN
which he embodied his comments on
President Wilson's reply to Germany.
The telegram follows in part:
AS an American citizen most
earnestly hope that the senate OF tho
United States will take affirmative ac-
ton against a negotiated peace Win
Germany and N favor Of q peace based
on the unconditional surrender OF Ger
many. also earnestly hope that on
behalf of the American people 1t Will
declare against the adoption In their
entirety of the fourteen principles OF
the presidents address OF last January
as Offering q basis for a peace salts
factory to the United States.
.Iet US dictate peace by the ham
mering guns and not chat about peace
to the accompaniment OF the clicking
of typewriters. The language Of tho
fourteen principles and the subsequent
statements explaining or qualifying
them is neither straightforward nor
plain, but II construed In its probable
sense many and possibly most Of these
fourteen diC 1iA0Aoeo"'s
chievous, and II made the basis OF
peace such peace would represent not
the unconditional surrender OF Ger
many but the conditional surrender OF
the United States.
Naturally they are entirely satis-
factory to Germany and equally natur-
ally they are in this country satisfac-
tory to every pro- German and pacifist
and socialist and anti-American So
called internationalist. The only peace
offer which we should consider from
Germany at this time is an oner 10
accept such terms as the allies without
our aid have imposed on Bulgaria.
I'VE should find out what the presi-
dent means by continually referring to
this country merely as the associate
instead Of the ally OF the nations with
whose troops our own troops are &C
tually brigaded in battle. II he means
that we are something less than an ally
of France, England. Italy. Belgium,
and Serbia, then he means that we
are something less than an enemy OF
Germany and Austria"

Soldiers Are Made to Pay High.
Des Moines, Oct. 25,-Clearlns up
rumors Of high prices charged for Gig
arets and tobacco by the Y. M. G. A.
in France. Charles Rawson, state cam
paign chairman OF the united war
work campaign. announces the results
OF a careful investigation into the
canteen and post exchange system of
the Red Triangle organization abroad.
The Y. NJ. c. A. is selling cigarets
and tobacco at the identical prices
charged at the quartermasters stores"
Mr.. Rawson states emphatically. He
has secured the exact price list from
which these articles are being sold in
the Y. NJ. C. A. canteens and post ex-
changes in France.
That the Y. NJ. c. A. was at one
time compelled TO ask higher prices
for the various forms OF tobacco than
those charged by the army stores, is
explained by Mr.. Rawson. Prices
charged by the Y. NJ. c. A. had to cover
transportation and marine insurance
charges, while the quartermaster's
prices do not include the cost of
bringing the merchandise from the
United States to France and distrib-
uting 1t. Now, however. the army 10

\. warehouses in France. as much to-
bacco as can be spared from the army
stores. and thus the Y. NJ. C. A. is en-
abled to sell at the same prices as
those charged by the Quartermaster
NO profit whatever is expected or
allowed from the sale of cigarets and
tobacco by the Y. NJ. c. A. abroad"
Mr.. Rawson declares.
The Y. NJ. c. A. provides men in the
trenches with all possible comforts free
of charge, Mr.. Rawson points out The
association was asked by General Per-
shing to operate the canteens for the
overseas army on a cost basis.

definite.

London, Oct. 25.-The popular COM
ment here on President Wilson's note
to Germany Is that 1t contains the
strongest language ever addressed by
the head Of one great nation to an
other in modern times.
The note is welcomed-first, because
1t brings matters to a new state: fur
Their proceedings, II there are to be
further proceedings, will be in the
hands of all the governments inter-
ested.
Hitherto, so far as the public knows

have been onlookers to the correspond
ence.
May End Note Writing.
The note Is welcomed, secondly. be-
cause it promises to bring the season
of discussion to an end altogether, one
way or the other. No one sees how the
German chancellor, Prince Macmillan
can fail either to accept President
Wilson'S platform or reject 1t.
Acceptance will be taken to mean
as hopeless and that disaster is i'm
minent
The general opinion Is that Ger
many's military position is not so bad
but that her leaders viii fight on
il only with the hope of creating divis-
ions among the allies, which has been
Germany's reliance of late.
Call Note Admirable.
The text of the note. which reached
London in the early hours this morn
ing. is given great prominence in the
evening newspapers. which quote with
satisfaction his decision to refer the
question of an armistice to the allies
and his insistence that the only armi-
sticc must be one which will make q
renewal of hostilities on. the part OF
Germany impossible.
The Globe, which would have pre-
ferred if the president had declined to
make any reply. says, however, that
his note is quite uncompromising ano
altogether admirable"
"can Deal With Free People"
The Westminster Gazette says:
Whether the German government
accepts this proposition for an armi-
stice will depend on its estimate of it,
military and internal situation anc
upon nothing else. All democratic ma
tions will be grateful to the president
] for having forcibly projected the Issue
between free peoples and military des-
potism into the foreground at this
stage of the war. But let 1t be sale
again that the choice rests with the
German people.

ing as they choose SO We must act
And that is the presidents last word
We can negotiate with a free people
but we must demand surrender from

Savoy by a fellow officer who had
| bet three other friends of mine that
| would be home by Christmas. This
wager had been made at the time he
heard that l was a prisoner of war,
and the dinner was the stake.
The first intimation he had of my
safe return from Germany and the
fact that he had won his bet was a.
telegram l sent him reading as fol-
lows:
Lieut.. Louis Grand:
"War bread bad, so I came home.
PAT"
He said he would not part with
that message for thousand dollars.
Other banquets followed in fast sue
cession. After l had survived nine of
them l figured that l was now in as
much danger of succumbing to sur
felt of rich food as / had previously
been of dying from starvation, and
for my own protection, L decided to
leave London. Moreover, my thoughts
and my heart were turning back. TO
the land of my birth, where | knew
there was loving mother who was
longing for more substantial evidence
of my safe escape than the cables and
letters she had received.
Strangely enough, on the boat which
carried me across the Atlantic, l saw
an X. +. c. man-Lieutenant Lascel-
les.
| walked over to him, held out my
hand and said "Helloi I"
He looked at me steadily for at least
a minute.
"My friend, you certainly look like
Pat O'Brien." he declared, but | can't
believe my eyes. Who are your"
quickly convinced him that his
eyes were still to be relied upon, and
then he stared at me for another min
ute or two, shaking his head dubi-
ousry.
His mystifeation was quite expli-
cable. The last time he had seen me
| was going down to earth with a
bullet in my face and my machine do
ing a spinning-nose dive. He was one

and was in the fight which resulted
in my capture. He said he had read
the report that l was a prisoner of
war, but he had never believed it, as
he did not think it possible for me to
survive that fall.
He was one of the few men living
out of eighteen who were originally
in my squadron do not mean the
eighteen with whom l sailed from
Canada last May, but the squadron I
joined in France.
AS we sat on the deck exchanging
experiences, l would frequently no.
tice him gazing intently in my face
as if he were not quite sure that the
whole proposition was not a hoax
and that 1 was an imposter.
Outside of this unexpected meet
ing, my trip was uneventful.

wick, and eventually in the little
town of Momence, ILL.,, on the Kan
kakee river.

happy to arrive in country as / was

statement back. Not until | finally

hood days did 1 enjoy that feeling Of
absolute security which one never

with meat, potatoes, turnips. onions.
caulifowers and radishes, substan-

but peeping out from these varied table

as much concern as the unexpected
sight Of German spiked helmet had
caused me in Belgium. 1t read as
follows:
Lieut.. P. A. O'Brien, Royal Flying
Corps, Regents Palace Hotel, Lon
don:
The king is very glad to hear of
your escape from Germany. If you
are to be in London on Friday next,
December 18th, His majesty will re-
ceive you at buckingham palace at
1880 a. N. Please acknowledge.
CORONER"
OF course, there was only one
thing to do and that was to obey ord
ers. 1 was an officer in the army and
the king was my commander in chief,
l had to go, and so l sat down and
sent off the following answer:
earl Cromer, Buckingham Palace,
London:
II will attend Buckingham palace
as directed, Friday, December 7th, at
80.
LIEUT.. PAT O'BRIEN.".
In the interval that elapsed, must
confess. the ordeal of calling on the
king of England loomed up more
dreadfully every day, and | feally
believed l would rather have spent am
other day in the empty house in the
big city in Belgium or. say, two more
days at Courtrai, than to go through
what believed to be in store for me.
Orders were orders, however, and
there was no way of getting out of it.
AS it turned out. it wasn't half as bad
as had feared-on the contrary, it
was one of the most agreeable expe-
riences of my life.

BUILDING
TRIO NEW
BRIDGES
Contractors at Work on Permanent SruCt-
ures; To Be Of Concrete; Road
Work is Progressing

That Grady county will have three
new bridges, destined to stand as
monuments for time to come, was
assured when work was started this
week on the big bridge in Harrison
township, spanning Rush creek.
This structure is to be solid con
crete, 55 feet wide and to be con
structed at a cost of $4,000. 1t is
the first of three similar bridges,
contracts for which were let recent
ly by the county commissioners.
Tnis particular bridge IS in District
No. 3.
TIE other two, which will be built
immediately following the compile
tion Of the Rush creek bridge, are in
Districts No. 1 and 2. The first will
span Bridge creek, will be about 40
feet in width and will cost $4,000.
The second will span Bitter creek,
will be 55 feet wide and will cost
$5.400.
In addition to the bridges, numer-
Gus culyerts are being put in in
every section of the county. These
structures will all be of concrete and
are being built to stay. A number
of culverts are now being finished
ON the Tuttle road and material is
ordered for the Cement road cul-
verts, where some Is to 30 will be
constructed
AS to road work, it is progressing
everywhere in the county. The crew
working under Contractor Jim Hill
was switched this week from the big
hill work north and east OF Chicka-
sha to section of the Ozark trail.
The hill, which proved to be one of
the biggest jobs in the county, con
sidering the distance covered, is
practically completed 1t is to be
made 5 per cent grade and will be
finished by the last of this week, ac.
cording to estimates
