GERMANS ARE TOLD
 WILSON'S DESIRES
 ARE ONLY TO KILL

New York, Oct. 1.-The distribu- ton among German troops by theil officers of tract attacking Presi- dent Wilson on the ground that ii Was his will to kill which was re- sponsible for the continuation of the war. was reported October IA by a representative of the Associated Press with the French army. The text of the leaflets has just been re- oeived as follows
 With the French Army in France Tuesday, Oct. Delayed. )-The tract attacking President Wilson pur- ports to be quotation from an arti- cle in the newspaper Mir of Mos cow The text follows:
 "RumOrs of an imminent general peace have lately spread through Western Europe. Spain and the Vac tican have made particular efforts in that direction. However noble those efforts were they were destln- ed to break in face of the opposition of the United States.
 ''It now is accordingly absolutely evident that the determination to kill emanated from the White House at Washington and is concentrated in the person of President Wilson. It goes without saying that the doctor of philosophy, President, Democrat and humanitarian, Woodrow Wilson, will he able to invent the best of reasons to justify a continuation of tho war But those reasons will teach Us nothing. Do we not find them in the history of all sacreli- gious wars?
 'Pharaos of Egypt always pre- tended to obey the will of the Gods when they ordered sanguinary ven- geance. Rome massacred people in the name of the republic. The Cali phs sought in Islam justification for the cruelty of their wars and the corquerors of the middle ages shed blood in the name of Christ
 To-day supposedly civilized states men, honorably members of various academies. Red Cross societies and doctors of philosophy and law, use their ingenuity to discover wise reasons to legitimatize the mutual throat cutting of people.
 What difference then is there between Wilson. who came out of a Philadelphia QSic) University and any sort of criminal like Caesar? The first defends the continuation of the war before the American senate The second justified each of his crimes before the Roman senate. The president and Caesar have recourse to the same rhetoric to defend the degeneracy of their states.
 "What balm can the niceties of the presidents oratory bring to the sac rifices of this war? If we speak of President Wilson only, it is not to pardon other imperial schemers But in the presence of the cruel truth that for nearly five years hu- man blood has flowed without cess aation, it is natural that we point out to human justice the man who may be reproached by humanity with the prolonging of this horrible butch cry
 "Today the peoples aspire for neace. America and England alone pretend to remain deaf to pacific propositions, be they due to the mi tiative of the Russian government of the Pope, or of neutral state.
 "'To the very end that is theil reply. To what end? Must Europe perish? Must the human race dis appear from the globe? Do you wan1 the old continent to be nothing but a vast cemetery in which shall relgf to the great joy of American billion aires the repose of peace really aternal?",

 Largest Days Work.
 Subscriptions reported today addes S338 100000 to yesterdays loan total and although this represents the big gest single days contribution it is short of the pro-rata amount sought to bring the total to six billions by Saturday night.
 Nearly third of the addition to- day, or $101, 100000 came from the New York district and sent that dis trict more than half way towards it's $1,8O0,000,000 goal.
 Owing to tardy reports from some parts of the Atlanta district, Atlanta fell to last place in the percentage column today.
