man Note Version

WASHINGTON, Oct 22.-The Off.
oial text OF Germanys latest note 10
President Wilson was received by cabla
today at the Swiss legation Frederick
Oederln. the Swiss charge. arranged
TO deliver II 10 Secretary Lansing a.
soon as it should be decoded.
To Differ From Wireless.
The charges appearance at the siato
department was delayed for several
hours as the task OF DECIDING and
translating proved to be long and te-
dious. Considerable differences in
verbiage may be shown and II is un.
derstood that the official text will
clear up certain obscure passages in
the wireless version received yesterday
To Confer With Allies.
Indications were that no announce
mcnt OF a decision by the president
could be expected before tomorrow.
Secretary Lansing was with him until
near midnight last night discussing the
wireless version. but there now must
be further eonierepees and il Is as
sumed there will be exchanges with the
allied capitals.
To Act Quickly
Official comment continued to be
withheld awaiting an indication OF thc
presidents views Everyone expected
him to decide very quickly whether the
note. creates a new situation requiring
| action.
The informal opinion as to the prob
able attitude Of the president covered a
wide range. though i did not differ on
the great point that immediate peace
| is not al hand and that however sincere
the German overtures may be no arniis-
tee viii be agreed 10 except upon con-
ditions Of surrender that will DESTROY
forever the power OF the kaiser's war
machine for harm.
May Approach Foch.
Some observers thought no answer
would be made and the German armies
left to complete their enforced evacua-
ton OF occupied territory as best they
might with the allied armies on their
heels, while the people at home con-
tinue the work OF ousting autocraey.
Others believed the next step, in agree
ment with the allies. would be sug-
gestion that the German military COM
manders, II ready to accept dictated
terms, should approach General Foch on
the subject OF an armistice.
Ready to Can Kaiser.
Those who arc convinced that the
enemy is beaten into submission are
guided by confidential diplomatic ad-
vices purporting TO show that there ha,
bee, a real political revolution in Ger
many and that the people in power are
ready TO throw out the kaiser and all
his war lords to get peace.
II was learned today that private
dispatch from Germany has been pub
lished IN Copenhagen newspaper stat
ing that troops on leave are receiving
secret orders not TO return 10 the front
and that to this extent demobiliEation
has begun
Military men here, however, regard

OBITUARY
EMERY KITTRELL .

The death angel visited the home
OF Mr.. and Mrs. John Kittrell Sat
urday morning March 2, 1918, at 4
o'clock, and claimed for it's victim
their loving little son Emery Kit
trell.
He united with the church some
few years ago; he was loved by all
who knew him; he had a smile and
kind word tor every one he met but
God called him away so young he
only budded on earth to bloom in
heaven but God knew best.
He leaves to mourn his loss, a
father, mother and one sister, Mrs.
W. L. Yates; and three brothers:
Willie. Joe and John Kittrell and
a host OF other relatives and friends.
We hope that little Emery was liv-
ing q Christian lie when death laid
its icy hand upon him.
Emery was II years, II month and
some few days old. He was laid to
rest beneath the sod Sunday March
Bird. at the McInnis.
Weep not dear ones for his spirit
has passed away but in fond remem-
brance his memory will always re-
main. We trust that He who came
to bind up the broken hearted NAV
comfort and strengthen the bereaved
ones in this hour of sorrow.
Dear Emery thou vast kind and
Gentle as the summer breeze.
Pleasant as the air of evening.
When it floats among the trees,
Peaceful be thy silent slumbers.
Peaceful in the grave below
Thou no more will join our number.
Thou no more our songs shall know.
Dearest Emery thou hast left US.
Thy loss we deeply feel;
But tbs God that hath berett us.
He can all our sorrows heal;
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
Dear Emery when the day is fled,
Then in Joy to greet dear Emery,
There no farewell tears are shed.
