THE PRESIDENT REPLIES

TO GERMANY.
President Wilson Sends Germany
Word That There Will Be No
Armistice Under Present Con-

Washington, D. c., Oct. 14.-The
President sends his reply to Germa-
ny that plea for armistice cannot
be consistently granted with the
present attitude of destruc ,on still
carried on under authority Of the
German Government.
"The unqualified acceptance BY
the present German government
and a majority of the Reichstag of
the terms laid down by the Presi-
dent of the United States of Ameri-
ca in his address to the congress of
the United States on the Sth of Jan
uary, 1918, and in subsequent ad-
dresse, justifies the President in
making frank and direct state
ment of his decision with regard to
the communications of & yrmany of
the Sth and 18th of Oct. 1918"
ut must be clearly understood
that the process of evacuation and
the conditions of an armistice are
matters which must be left to the
judgment and advice of the military
advisers of the Government of the
U. S. and Allied Gov'ts, and the
President feels it his duty to say
that no arrangement can be accept
ed by the Government of the United
States which does not provide alb
solutely satisfactory safeguards and
guarantees of the maintenance Iof
the present military supremacy of
the armies of the U. S. and the AL

Mrs. ]. w. Gallaher of Mexico. The
letter is addressed to Mr.. and Mrs.
Hitch of Vandalia. 1t is as follows:
Somewhere in France, Sept. Q,
1918.
Dear Mr.. and Mrs. Hitch:
Still Somewhere in France" and
today Labor Day. Yes, it is some
labor day for us, and, don't you
know, that word means work in
this game.
This is a big game now l only
wish l could tell you all about it.
But 1t would be an endless story.
OF course you read every day what
is going on at the front, but while
you get the nice part you do not get
It all. War is He'll. When that is
said the story is told.
And then not all the work and
fighting men are at the front. You
find in every branch of the service
your part to do, and not one part
can be disposed of without doing
harm to the boys at the front. And
we all understand that, and it
would do your eyes good to see how
we'll we support each other.
AS to France: Well, by the time
the war is over l think you can call
it America. You cannot realize the
different conditions when l landed
and now. In fact, we are running
things now. France was too slow
for us. The many changes, the
many things we are doing would be
hard to tell and the speed with
which we are doing those things
you would think impossible. But,
nevertheless, we are doing them and
getting faster every day. You will
know of some of it before you re-
keiye this note.
France is very preety country.
Most every place you go everything
is very old. You would think a
country like this would be up-to-
date. But not so. We've pulled off
stunts here the French never dream
ed Of
Well, am sorry l must close, but
as said before, today is Labor Day,
and I must get busy. l want to
thank you both for remembering me
Somewhere in France" and when
you have time, do it again. We gen.
orally get all our mail at once, and
then a month before we hear again
So you can imagine how we devour
the contents.
With best wishes to you and my
friends.
