When They Invade Germany.

1t was a common saying early Ill
the war that while the French
soldier was a magnificent fighter
and the most dashiDg soldier in the
world, he lacked patience anu
tenacity This opinion was based
upon what the critics of the French
people were pleased to call national
psychology"
The national psy biologists made
a bad guess that time and it may
be that they are making another
VIII en- they predict the awful things
that French soldiers will do to Ger
m any if the Germans do not sur
render before their country is in,
vaded. 1t is said that French com
ma nders will never be able TO re-
strain the rage of their men when
they remember how their own
con ntry was devastated by the Hun.
1t may be so, but it is best to re-
m ember that French culture is a
very different thing from "kultur."
1t is true that a French mob may
be a terrible thing, bat it is also
true that the French are distinguish
ed by their practical common sense
and by their love of beauty, refine
ment and elegance.
They pride themselves on their
"sangSfroid." In controversy wit is
their weapon, as is a rapier their
weapon in a duel If the French
are. emotional they are also a peo-
pie who appreciate to the fullest
that which is neatly adequate and
devoid of all excess.
With that view of French charac-
ter, would it be surprising if the
French people, nOtwithing their
boiling indignation, should quietly
humiIiate the Germans by abstain
ing from every form of needless de-
struction and by q fine disdain of

cellor of the Empire to the repre-.
sentatives of the people is being
legally developed and safeguarded.
The first act Of the new Govern
ment has been to lay before the
Reichstag a bill to alter the Con.
stitution of the Empire so that the
consent of the representatives of the
ople is required for decisions on
war and peace.
The permanence of the new
system is, however, guaranteed not
only by constitutional safeguards,
but also by the unshakable de-
termination of the German people,
whose vast majority stands behind
these reforms and demand their
energetic continuance.
The question of the President
with whom he and the Government
associated against Germany are
d ealing-is therefore answered in a
clear, unequivocal manner and by
the statement that the offer of peace
and an armistice has come from q
Go vernment which, free from any
arbitrary and irresponsible influence
is supported by the approval of an
overwhelming majority of the Ger.

New Home Gard,

A new Home Card covering in
general terms the constructive food
program and instructions for the
home for the coming year has been
prepared by the United States Food
Administration. The new card is
now being printed by the Missouri
Division of the Food Administration
and will be ready for distribution
in the state from October 28 to
November 2.
In many respects the conservation
program for the coming year is
more difficult than that of last.
Then there were special drives" on
certain commodities. With meat
less days and wheatless days on the
program, it was not so hard to follow
out instructions. But this year
there will be no concentration on
any certain food; The people of the
United States are being asked to
save all along the line. to eat less
and waste less, to cut down on
everything.
The Home Card is to be part of
national plan of saving all foods
that is necessary in order that this
country may supply Is million tons
for export to the Allies.

GERMANY'S ANSWER.
Text of Reply to Wilson's
Latest Note

The German Government sug
gests to the President that op-
portunity be brought about for fix
ing the details Ii trusts that the
President of the United States will
approve of no demand which
would be irreconcilable with the
honor of the German people and
with opening the way to a peace of
justice
The German Government pro-
tests the reproach of illegal and in
human actions made against the
German land and sea forces and
thereby against the German people
For the covering of a retreat de-
structions will always be necessary
and they are carried out insofar as
is permitted by international law.
The German troops are under mos.
strict instructions to spare property
and to exercise care for the popu-
lation to the best of their ability
Where transgressiOns occur in spite
of these instructions the guilty are
being punished.
"The German Government further
denies that the German Navy in
sinking ships has ever purposely
destroyed lifeboats with their
passengers. The German Govern
ment proposes with regard to all
those charges that the facts be
cleared up by neutral commissions.
In order to avoid anything that
might hamper the work of peace,
the German Government has caused
orders to be dispatched to all sub
m arine commanders precluding the
torpedoing of passenger ships, with
out, however, for technical reasons,
being able to guarantee that these
orders will reach every single sub
m arine at sea before it returns.
AS a fundamental condition for
peace, the President prescribes the
d estructiOn of every arbitrary
power that can separately. secretly
a md of its own single choice disturb
the peace of the world. To this the
German Government replies:
Hitherto the representation of
the people in the German Empire
has not been endowed with an in
t1uence on the formation of the
Government.
The Constitution did not provide
for concurrence of representatives
of the people in decisions of peace
and war. These conditions have
just undergone a fundamental
change. A new Government has
been formed in complete accordance
with the wishes (principle) of the
representatives of the people based
on equal, universal, secret, direct
franchise
The leaders of the great parties
of the Reichstag are members of
t his Government. In the future no
Government can take or continue in
office without possessing the con-
fidence Of a majority of the Reich
stag.

Need Not Candle Eggs.

Licensed dealers in poultry and
eggs will not be required to candle
eggs after November IS, the Poultry
Section of the Missouri Division of
the Food Administration announces.
The Food Administration ruling re-
quirine all lincensed dealers to
buy eggs on a candle basis has re-
suited in an enormous saving in
food, reports to the Office of the
State Food A ADMINISTRATION show.
This has been brought about quite
largely through the cooperation of
the poultry and egg shippers aud
the county food administrators.
Dealers are warned, however, that
the Missouri statute forbiddine the
sale or keeping for sale or offering
for sale of tainted or rotten eggs" is
still in force,
Many dealers say there is a ten.
dency for farmers to hold eggs an
ticipating higher prices, This prac-
tice should be discouraged, the
Poultry Section says. as it results
in preventable loss of food.
