WILSON DE HANDS
 UNCONDITIONAL | SURRENDER
ArmiStice Refused-If One is Arrang- ed. Vt Will Be Dictated by the Allied COmmanders-Must Re-
 turn Alsace.

Washington, Oct 14.-Presiaent Wilson has answered Germanys peace proposal with decision which fulfllls the expectations o9 supporters of ms d;plomacy and dispels the fears O. those who predicted he would substl- ute victories at arms with defeats att1tplomacy.
 No peace with kaiserism Autocracy must go No armistice can even De thought of while Germany continues her atrocities on land and sel. One cannot be considered unless it fully is indicate. by She allied commanders in the field in such terms as abso- lutely provides safeguards and guar antees that Germany part will not be a scrap of paper.
 This in a few words is the presi- dents answer.
 ! If it does not bring a equalization i which may be more than an uncon- ditional surrender, allied diplomats !epd American officials believe it may cause a revolution in Germany.
 It speaks for the entente allies as we'll as the United States.
 Will Be No Relaxation.
 The dispatch of the presidents re- ply was followed ty the issue O. this Normal statement at the White House by Secret.ry Humility:
 "The government will continue to send over 25O,00O men with their sup plies every month, and there will De no relaxation of any kind.'
 Quite outside the formal phrases of diplomatic document, that was Pre3i- dent Wilson worl to the world that he had not thought of stopping the fighting at this stage. -s- Approved by All Factions.
 iThe Senate chamber rang with ap- plause Of senators as the president answer was read few minutes after it had been announced at the State De- partment
 Senator Lodge, the presidents chief critic in his course until today, issued a statement expressing his gratilica- tion at the presidents decision. Opin- ion at the capitol and throughout off, ficial Washington was unanimously in approval.
 One outstanding point which t.oes not appear in the president s note-a point on which the world has been ask ing questions can be answered tonight. When the president declared that the wrong done France when Germany took Alsace-Lor.1lne should De r:gnt- ed. he meant that AlsaceLorraine should bs returned to France. 's
 Must Get Rid of Aut0cracy.
 Those who contend the presidents decision demands something more than an unconditional surrender base it on the argument that he h,s now pass ed the stage where he might have a'c- cepted surrender cf the G6rman mili- tary and naval forces and the IIo- skenzollern autocracy on it's throne.
 According to this view. President Wilson has now fln,l,y informed tte, German people that if they want peace they can only attain it by get ting rid of the kaiser and his sys- tenn.

German garby and he started calling
me all the various kinds of schwein-
hunde he could think of and he could
think of lot.
Finally they. mustered US all on
another part of the deck, then drilled
us down into the forecastle and read
the martial law of Germany to US.
At least-I guess that is what 1t was.
1t might have been the Help Wanted

lin Lokal Taggabble for all most of us

ing garbies, who did not give dime
dozen whether we heard them or not.
Fritz is like some other hot sketches
he is funniest when he does not mean
to be. Every German is a vaudeville
skit when he acts natural.
There were hammocks there and we
jumped into them to get warm, but the
Germans came down with their re-
volvers and bayonets and took the
hammocks away and poured water on
the decks and told us to sleep there.
They could not have done worse
trick than that.
Then they put locks on the portfolios
and told us that anyone caught fiddling
with the locks would be shot at once.
This was because we might sight q
British or French man-of-war at any
time and as the Moewe was sailing un-
der the British flag and trying to keep
out of trouble they did not want us
at the ports signaling our own war
ships for help. If they had bucked
any of the allied ships and had fight
we would have died down there like
rats.
The Moewe had already captured
the Voltaire, Mount Temple, Cambriar
Range and the King George and had
the crews of these vessels between
decks with us. These men told u:
how the Germans were treating then
and 1t looked to me as though the eve

When they rousted MS on deck again
the st. Theodore was still In sight. but
she had the Yarrowdaie for company.
Both were trailing behind us and keep
Ing pretty close on. While we were
on deck we saw. the German sailors at
work on the main deck making about
ten RATS and when they began to place
tins of hardtack on the RATS, tin to
each, we imagined they were going to
heave us over the side and let us go
on the rafts. But instead they ber'n
telling us we would land In the States
and then they rousted us between
decks again.
We liad only been there short time
when some of the German officers came
down and asked II any of the men
would volunteer to go firing on the
Yarrowdaie and we almost mobbed
them to take us. They began putting
down the names OF the men who we're
to go and talked them into putting
mine down too. Then ] felt about
FIVE hundred pounds lighter. Z:
Five o'clock came and by that time
had forgotten to do any worrying.
We received our usual rations and
most of us who had volunteered flg-
ured that we would receive clothes
and shoes. In the morning an officer
came down below and read out the
names of those who were to go and /
felt even lighter when he called mine.
We were each. given life belt and
mustered on deck.
The sea was pretty nasty and some
| of the men had narrow escapes from
falling between the Moewe and the
lifeboats when the swells rocked us.
One man fell from the ladder, and
broke his neck on the gunwale of the
lifeboat. They took over boat after
boat to the Yarrowdale until finally
we were all there. Then they mus
tered us on deck and warned-us not to
start anything, because they had a
time bomb In the engine room and two
on the bridge. Meantime they had
brought over several boatloads of hard
tack and we threw It into No. hold.
This was to be our food for some time.

CHAPTER XVI.
Landed In Germany.

They had a coolie crew on the Var
rowdale and when they routed them
on deck the coolies began to pray and
though 1t is nothing to laugh at could
not help but chuckle at the way some
of them went about talking to their
various gods. They were beginning to
smell danger and were pretty nervous.
Every one of the coolies had cane
and pair of Palm Bench trousers.
The Huns were loadlng them In the
lifeboats to be taken back to the
Moewe with their sea bags and one OF
them got too nervous and was slow
about getting into the lifeboat, so the
Germans shot him without saying a
word.
Then the Germans called out the
names of those who had volunteered to
go stoking and this included me. We
were drilled down the fiddley into the
fire room. The flddley is shaft that
runs from the main deck Of ship to
the engine room. looked around a
bit and saw a German standing not
very far from the fiddley, so I asked
him If we would be given shoes. He
said no. Then asked him II we had
to fire In our fare feet and he said
yes--that we did not need shoes. Then
he went into the engine room.
l looked at the narrow passage he
went through and at the narrow pas
sage of the fiddley to the main deck
and talked to my feet like l used to
at Dlxmude. said: 'Feet, do your
duty" They did 1t and few up the
fiddley. / never wanted to see that
stoke hole again.
l sneaked up to where the rest OF
the fellows were and the guards
drilled us into No. hold. There wat
nothing but ammunition in 1t. They
battened the matches down on us
which made the hold waterproof. And
as that made 1t practically alright the
only air the $50 of us got was through
the ventilators. That hold was GER
tainly foul.
They next day some of the men hat
got cigarettes somewhere. In a few
minutes they as we'll as the rest hat
lit up and were putting away In great
style. divided cigarette with an
other fellow. Remember, we were sit
ting and standing on ammunition al
this time. 1t shows how much W.
cared whether school kept or not.
The Germans saw the smoke com
ing out of the ventilators and the!
were crazy with fright. A gang o
them laid below and rousted us ou
with whips.
They lined us up on deck and rea'
us the riot act.
J They drilled US down into the Goa
/ bunkers. It was simply terrible there

One fellow let go his hold on the lad
der and went down and he never came
up. The Germans were making for the
Moewe In the lifeboat and we reached
1t just before they did. Up the ladder
we went and over the side and the
first thing we caught sight Of was the
German revolvers In our faces drilling
us all into line.
The llfeboat brought back the ships
papers from the Georgia and We had
roll call. They kept us up on deck In
our wet underwear and 1t was very
cold indeed. Then the first mate and
the old man and one Of the German
officers called off the names and we
found we had fifty missing.
The Boche commander had gall
enough to say that he was not there
to kill men but to sink all ships that
were supplying the allies He said
England was trying to starve Germany,
but that they would never succeed and
that Germany would starve the allies
very soon.
After roll call some of us asked the
Germans for clothes, or at least a
place to dry ourselves In, but. Fritz
could not see us for the dust on the
ocean and we just had to stand there
and shiver till we shook the deck, al
most Then I went and sat down on
the pipes that feed the deck winches.

them and was beginning to feel more
comfortable when got good clout
