announcing the wounding Of their
son, Lloyd, who is with the American
forces in France He had his foot
shot off in one Of the charges against

Lloyd volunteered for service while

S. BERNHEIMER'S SON
DECORATED FOR BRAVERY

The st. Louis Globe-D Democrat con-
tanned the following account Of the
daring deed Of young Louis Bern
heimer, son of our former townsman,
Sidney Bernheimer. Louis has since
been decorated with distinguished
service cross:
Today it was decided to ask for vol
unteers for an important aerial recon
noissance over the enemy lines. The
movement was considered particularly
difficult because Of the rain, which
aviation officers say, was the heaviest
ever encountered by American air
men.
Lieut.. Louis Bernheimer Of New
York, pilot, and Lieut.. Ralph Bagby,
New Haven, Mo-, were among the vol
unteers and were accepted for the
mission, which they performed sue
cessfully, returning with valuable in
formation
Bernheimer and Bagby were com
PEELED to descend below the mist sew
eral times to take observations re-
garding the German positions, and
then ascend quickly to get ot # the
range Of the Germans, who were pour
ing rain Of shells a. them all the
risDc
Reaching the region of Dun, where
the 5i'icers particular desired infnr-
nation as toconditions, they descend
edto less than 300 feet from the
ground. The Germans fired from
guns of all calibers, but the Ameri-
cans continued skimming along.
Antiaircraft and smaller cannon
were framed on them and they were
subjected to hail Of bullets from the
rifles Of the German infantry, but es-
capped unwounded.
The wings Of the plane were per-
forated, but not to such an extent as
to force landing, and the Americans
returned safely to our lines dropping
notes at different headquarters, re-
porting information Of much value.
Nc other machine, enemy or American
was sighted over the entire American
front today.

ORDERS CANCELLED
and SUSPENDED
Twice White Draftees Have Been Or
derd to Report to Camp, But Later
Order Cancelled. Order for Col
ored Troops Suspended

Twice lately white troops from
this county have been ordered to re-
pert to camp, but both orders were
later cancelled. One order was for
sixteen men and, the other was for
thirteen. The names of the sixteen
appeared 10 the Reveille several weeks
ago.
There were ffty-nine colored
troopers in the order, which directed
enl 70 be sent to Camp Shelby, but
the order has since been suspended,
and they win probably be ordered
out later.
The outbreak Of influenza was the
cause Of the change Of program, and
now that the disease IS on the de-
crease in the various camps, troops
will probably be moving again in the
rear future.

GERMAN REPLY
GIVEN TO ALLIES
PRESIDENT SENDS A PLAIN REPLY
Tells German Government 1t Can't Be
Trusted, and That Extraordinary
safeguards Must Be Demanded.

President Wilson's reply TO Ger
manv's supposed acceptance Of the
Allied terms for an armistace leaves
no ground for doubt as to where this
country stands. After informing that
country that its note has been re-
ferred to the Allied commanders in
the field for reply, he says:
1The president would deem him
.olf lacking in candor did he not
no;nt out in the frankest possible
Terms the reason why extraordinary
safe-puards must be demanded. Sig
nifcant and important as the consti-
tutional changes seem to be which
are spoken Of by the German. for
eign secretary in his note OF the
twentieth Of October, it does not ap-
near that the heart Of the present
difficulty has been reached. 1t may
he that future wars have been brought
under the control of the German peo-
nle but the present war ha snot been;
and It is with the present war that we
are dealing. 1t is evident that the
German people have no means OF COM
manding the aequiescence of the mil
ifarv authorities of the empire in the
nopular will; that the power of the
king Of Prussia to control the policy
~ The empire is unpired. That de-
TRIMMING initiative still remains
with those who have hitherto been the
masters Of Germany. Feeling that
the whole peace Of the world depends
now on plain speaking and straight
forward action, the president deems
il his duty to say,without any attempt
10 soften what may seem harsh words,
that the nations of the world do not
and cannot trust the word of those
who have hitherto been masters of
German policy, and to point out once
more that in concluding peace and att
tempting to undo the infinite injus-
ries and injustices of this war the
government Of the United States can
not deal with any but veritable repre-
sentatives Of the German people who
have been assured of a genuine consti-
tutional standing as the real rulers Of
Germany. If it must deal with the
military masters and the monarchial
autocrats of Germany now, or IT 1t IS
likely to have to deal with them later
in regard to the international obllga-
ton Of the German empire, it must
demand, not peace negotiations, but
surrender, Nothing can be gained
leaving this essential thing unsaid.
On all fronts north Of Rhemes the
Allies continue to gain. North Bel
gium has been almost cleared of the
enemy, and Valenciennes, in northern
France, has been entered by the Brit
ish.
It has been stated that $4,000 Ger
man soldiers, who entered Holland to
avoid capture, have been interned
there
Another big Allied offensive is ex-
pected to start in few days.
