Will Garry Cross
On Back As Souvenir
OF The Great Conflict

Paris, Oct. 15.-Private Jean Four
nan Of New York city hereafter will
carry cross on his back as a SOU
venir of the great war;, The wound
that has marked him is so unusual
that he is known at American Mill
tary Hospital No. /, where he is now
convalescing, as the "Red Cross Man."
and doctors, nurses and patients have
watched his case with unusual inter
est.
Fournan is a member of one of the
American regiments recently engaged
in the fighting around Fismes. He
ber, and went through heavy fight
ing on several fronts without a
scratch.
One morning a short time ago, just
as his company went over the top,
headed for a boche machine gun nest
shrapnel shell knocked him out
He had a momentary singing sensa-
ton and then awoke to find himself
on an American sanitary train from
which he was taken by ambulance to
the hospital.
When he was carried to the oper-
ating room, the surgeon looked him
over and then called the other doc
tors to come and look. The boy had
been hit by two pieces Of shrapnel,
one Of which had gone down his back
acle saved him from paralysis. The
other had crossed at right angles,
leaving the mark of a perfect cross
on his back. ,.3.s5.. Z,
Fournan has these pieces OF shrap-
mel in his Red Cross treasure bag.
He says they're lucky pieces be-
cause they only left scar"

First Condition of peace.

London, Oct. 15.-The German
autocracy must go, is the heading
placed over President Wilson's reply
to the German peace note by the
Liberal Star, which like most Of the
liberal newspapers considers this one
OF the first conditions Of peace with
the Central powers.
A condition in the reply which is
given great display by the newspapers
ts that which asks for guarantees for
the maintenance Of the present mill
tary supremacy of the Allied armies.
Satisfaction also is expressed with
President Wilson'S reference to the
continued sinkings by German sub
marines and the "wanton destruction
in occupied territory, while his deci-
sion that the conditions of an arm
istice must be left to the military ad-
visers of the Entent appears to agree
with the phrase so often quoted in
the newspapers during the last few
days-''L Leave it to Foch."

Amsterdam, Oct. 15-The German
government has proposed that in COM

large towns of northern France and
enter into an agreement with Ger
many to permit, at any rate, a portion
of the population of Valenciennesl to
pass into the French lines, says an
official statement from Berlin.
The Berlin government in making
this proposal, represented itself as un-
able to prevent the eastward flight Of

to their fears that the Allies would
lombard the town. The proposal was
made through the Swiss government.

and the concensus, Of opinion in in

insurance companies is the heaviest
since the San Francisco fire. in 1905.
The losses to the fire risk companies
will be greatest, it was stated, on the

Enemy Coast Guns silent.

With the British Army in Belgium.
Monday, Oct. a., 9 p. m.-cBy tho
Associated Press. s.)-Enemy resistance
in Flanders. which at first appeared to
be exceedingly heavy, is reported to
have been broken. After the British,
French and Belgian advance today
there were indications that the enemy
was withdrawing the remainder Of
his material from the coast of Bel
GUM. s, s.
Most significant Of all the features
of the battle was the fact that the
German coast batteries were not fir
ing.
The enemy artillery reacted heavily
south of Roulers after the Allied at
tack was launched but north of tho
city this fire was very slight indicat-
withdrawn or were being taken back
by the enemy. The German rear
guards were overcome and further
north the enemy resistance gradually
grew lighter as the assault progressed.
Among the prisoners was complete
regimental staff and a battalion COM
mander. ~
The enemy has begun blowing up
material which he could not remove
and the torch is being applied to the
towns that are being abandoned by
the Germans. There have been four
explosions near Beerst.
The fact that the coast batteries are
not firing has given rise to the rumor
that the British naval forces are OPP
Grating of the coast. One report even
went SO far as to say that Ostend,
which seems bound to sbe evacuated
by the enemy, has been entered by
British monitors. There is no rconfir-
nation Of these rumors.

President Has Not Answer

Two Central Powers.
ANOTHER TURKISH
APPEAL AWAITED
Only Matter. of Time Until
Teutons Will Meet Con-
ditions of Allies.

Washington. Oct. 15.-President
Wilson's reply to Germany. ending
talk Of an armistice until the Germans
are ready to surrender and finally
closing the door to peace negotiations
with Kaiserism, was on the cables to-
day, If it actually had NOT arrived at
Berne. Only few hours should be
required for its delivery at Berlin
through the Swiss foreign Office.
Washington has undergone a per-
ceptible relaxation Of tension since
yesterday and even those who had no
fears that the Presidents diplomacy
would bring a relaxation Of military
effort or a. compromise with q faith
less enemy, wear an air of relief. Ev-
erywhere the feeling is apparent that
the atmosphere is clearer than before
Prince Maximilian came forward with
his peace drive; that the purpose of
the United States and the Allies are
more than ever clearly stated and that
the powers in Berlin and the German
people now must see the futility of
further attempts to avert the defeat
in sight by compromise.
So far the president has dealt only
with the proposal of the German gov
eminent. leaving unanswered similar
pleas for peace from Austria Hun
gary and Turkey. There is no indica-
tion that these allies of Germany will
hear from him until the dominant
factor in the central alliance makes
another move. unless one or both of
them in the meantime should plead
anew. seeking surrender without re-
sekat hitherto has "a go governed M ed their tnM
Sactions. Gut off by the detection OF
Bulgaria and cowed by the victorious
British armies, Turkey already vir-
tually is out of the war and a sep
arate appeal from the reorganized
government at Constantinople is look
ed for momentarily.
AS to what will happen Immediate
ly in Germany it is conceded that one
guess is as good as another, though
there is no doubt here as to what will
happen ultimately. With the Ameri-
can and Allied armies advancing
steadily toward the German border, it
is believed the only question is how
far they must go before the people
