to the rumors that the Kaiser had ab- dicated and that Germany has un- conditionally capitulated.
 The German answer, instead is ex- .pected to accept President Wilson's terms with vague and ambiguous proviso that 'the interests sof the German people must be safeguarded." :"
 This could be translated in hun dred ways. Nor is 1t sufficient, this informant points out, saying:
 Germany must surrender uncondi- tionally. There must be no loopholes. She must surrender her submarines and the German fleet. The Allies must occupy Helgoland and Kiel All German armies outside the German frontiers must be disarmed and de- mobilized. Germany must begin i'm mediately the restoration of Belgium and France. The Allies must occupy eMetz, Essen, Cob1enz and Cologne''
 Winston Churchill. British Minister of Munitions, addressing a meeting in Manchester yesterday said President Wilson's reply to Prince Max was en- titled to the whole hearted endorse ment of all the Allies.
 We must secure guarantees" he added, which would render Germany impotent to repeat the crimes fol which she is now being chastised.
 Tt may be that a very serious struggle lasting for a considerable time and costing immense expendi. lures of life and treasure is before US There can be but one maxim, 'ful steam ahead
 ''The peace proposal comes iron people who in their hearts have give1 up the game.

London. Oct. 17-''Germany capitu- -aies. Kaiser has abdicated." was the wild message sent yesterday afternoon byo Reuters Amsterdam correspond ent. It has not been confirmed.
 The British Foreign Offlce declined to comment on the report of Ger many's surrender, but 1t did not deny 1t. In the lobby of the House of Com mons the report of the Kaiser's abdi- cation was discussed with a tendency to accept 1t Rs true.
 Reuters dispatch was based, 1t later developed, upon a private bulle- tin to the Rotterdamsche Courrent from Hamburg, Soon Rfterward came an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Amsterdam Co this effect:
 Germany accepts ell of President Wilson's conditions, provided the in terests of the German people are safeguarded." Then rumors began to come thick and fast, ranging from a coup d'eat by the Socialists to a bloody revolt in the empire.
 Earler In the day dispatches via Copenhagen threw cold water on the chances of Germany surrender1ng They stated President Wilson's reply had reached Berlin officially last nigh and Prince Max was expected to make known his decision concerning 1t today, when the Reichstag was scheduled to eet in plenary session.
 These dispatches quoted the Ger man press as considering the Ameri- can Presidents reply as nlpping the peace hopes in the bud.
 Again, 1t was reported the Reich stag session had been postponed ir the eleventh hour. The Kaiser, 1t wa: said, arrived in Berlin Saturday anC immediately went into conference with his most trusted advisers, hear ing particularly the reports of the chief of his civil cabinet and of the general staff.
 Theodor Wolff, editor of the Libera Berliner Tageblatt announced in tha paper that the Socialists, who yester' day were reported ready to overthrow Prince Max of Baden, had changed their minds and were willing to le him continue in the chancellorship.

U. S. MEDICAL CORPS
 BEST IN THE WORLD
(Popular Mechanics)


 With our troops to France will go the largest, best organized, best equipped medical branch in the worlds history. In the formation of this department we have had the benefit of the united eX- perience of the English and French surgeon general.
 Few are aware to what an extent the doctors and surgeons of the country have responded. From no other pro- fession or occupation has the percent age of volunteers been so large.
 Ten months ago in the office or the surgeon general in Washington there were only six assistants: and the total enlisted medical men in both army and navy numbered APO, in- cluding our territorial possessions. When the call came, there were 143,000 physicians and surgeons in the United States. Immediately 25,- 900 of them volunteered for service.

 The volunteer organizations" he saiG, are full of women who go to work rooms, not from patriotic instinct, but because it is the fashion, and they have never been trained to obey or to work under supervision. For every volunteer who is willing to sacrifice her whole life scheme indefinitely for the sake of her country, there are ten thousand who are willing to give an hour a week or volunteer service with no real training, and of precious little value.
