President Wilson Sends a
Note to Allies and Neu-
trails Urging Action
NOT CONNECTED
WITH WAR PROGRAM
Sole Purpose of Communication is to
Stop Slaughter of Innocent People in
Petrograd, Moscow and Other Rus
sian Cities Where Terror Reigns.

WASHINGTON, Sept 23.-The Amer
can government, through Secretary of
State Lansing, has sent a communica-
ton to all allied and neutral governments
urging them to take some immediate ac-
ton in condemnation of the acts of
slaughter and barbarism involved in the
present reign of terror in Petrograd.
Moscow. and other Russian cities.
This move, wholly humanitarian and
disseeiated from the war, is an attempt
on The part of9the American government
to do everything within ITS power TO
have the civilized world express itself
IN strong condemnation of what Is de
scribed as the openly avowed campaign
OF mass terrorism" and wholesale exc
buttons to which peaceable Russians are
now being subjected
Secretary Lansing's communication.
which takes the form Of a telegram.
rather than a note. has been sent to all
! American ambassadors and ministers in
the allied and neutral countries. except
TO our diplomatic representatives, in Paris
and London. These were omitted because
the British and French governments al
ready have expressed themselves in con
demnation of the terrorism now prevail
ing in Russia
The note follows:
| This government is in receipt Of nfor-
nation from reliable sources revealing
| that the peaeeable Russian citizens of
Moscow, Petrograd, and other cities are
suffering from an openly avowed cam
palgn OF mass terrorism and are subject
to wholesale executions Thousands Of
persons have been shot without even a
form of trial; ill-administered prisons
are filed beyond capacity. and every
night scores of Russian citizens are reck
lessly put to death; and irresponsible
bands are venting their brutal passions
IN the daily massacres of untold limo
cents.
In view of the earnest desire of the
! people Of the United States to befriend
the Russian people and lend them ali that
Is possible of assistance IN their struggle
| to reconstruct their nation upon prin-
etfies of democracy and self government
and acting therefore solely in the inter
| est OF the Russian people themselves. this
government feels that it cannot be silent
! or refrain from expressing it's horror at
| this state Of terrorism. Furthermore. II
believes that in order to check the further
increase OF the indiserinnate slaughter
tot Russian citizens all civilized nations
| should register their adherence of such
! barbarism
| You viii inquire, therefore. whether
(! the government To which YOU are ac-
credited will be disposed to take some
| Immediate action, which is entirely di-
sorced from the atmosphere of ballig
creney and tae conduct of war. 10 impress

AT END OF GLACIAL PERIOD
Geological Authority Makes Deduc-
tions From Shrinking Of Great
Ice Cap at the South Pole. {,

DR.. Marsden Manson Of San Fran
cisco, an eminent authority on geology,
points to the fact established by re-
cent Antarctic explorers that the great
ice cap is shrinking. From this he
draws the conclusion that the gradual
subsistence Of the Age Of Ice Of which
the polar ice caps are the existing
remnants, Is still going on and that
we live, so to speak, at the tail end Of
the glacial period. He expresses the
conviction that the same succession
of geological climates has prevailed
In Antarctic as in other ATTITUDES, and
says that the evidence collected in re-
cent Antarctic explorations Is corrobo-
rated by the comparatively recent un-
covering of temperate land areas and
the progressive retreat of the snow
line to higher elevations in temperate
and tropical ATTITUDES and toward the
poles at sea level. He comes to the
conclusion that the disappearance Of
the Ice Age is an active present process
and must be accounted for by activi-
ties and energies now at work. He
considers 1t as proved that the rates
and lines Of retreat are and have been
determined by exposure to solar en-
ergy and the temperature established
thereby and by the difference in the
specific heat Of the land and water
hemispheres.

The unexpected,

An amazing instance Of the unex-
pected happening at the front
ended in a French and German
pilot landing together. The French
man and the German were circling
and dipping for battle position.
Suddenly, the French pilot, think
ing he had the advantage charged
his enemy from the rear. But the
German did not swerve sufficiently
and the left wing of the French
machine struck the right-hand
struts of the German. The collision
caused the French airplane to spin
around violently until it's tail whizzed
between the wings Of the German
and stuck. Apparently being too busy
or perhaps too astonished-to shoot
at each other, the opponents spiraled
side by side in close embrace, ulti-
mately crashing into the boughs Of
some trees. Neither pilot was hurt,
so they clambered out, looking at each
other-and the German was reminded
that he was prisoner.

CHINESE HELP ALLIES

War Charities.
In the city Of Singapore, down at
the end of the Malay peninsula, there
is large colony Of Chinese people
who have been giving to the entente
sllies with the greatest liberality. DIR.
J. Stuart Nagle, Methodist mission
airy and president Of the Anglo-Chi-
nese college Of Singapore, has just
returned to the United States to at
tend conference Of his church, and
tells Of the work they have done.
Many Of the wealthy Chinese, he
says, give more than a tenth Of their
incomes to aid the allies. They con-
tributed largely to the building Of the
battleship Malaga, given to the Brit
ish government by the Federated Ma
lay states. By a single effort they
raised 1000 for the Red Cross, and
the boys of the Anglo Chinese college
last year gave over $4,000 to war
charities. The Singapore Chinese have
also raised 100000 for the CEN
tenary of the Methodist church, the
purpose Of which, as stated by its or.
ganizers, is ITO conserve the results of
the war"

FOCH WILL RECEIVE
GERMANY's ENJOYS
ALLIES DECLARE WILLINGNESS
TO MAKE PEACE ON TERMS
LAID DOWN BY WILSON.
Compensation Must Be Made by Ger.

: Civilian Population AS Result
of Hun Aggression.

Observation-Disclosures Focn has
been authorized by the United States
and the allies to receive representa-
tives of the German government ana
to communicate to them the terms of
an armistice. The German govern
ment is so informed in a note handed
to the Swiss minister here Tuesday
by Secretary Lansing.
The note announces that the allied
governments have declared their will
ingness to make peace with the Ger
man government on the terms laid
down in President Wilson's address to
congress last January and on the prin-
ciples of settlement enunciated in his
subsequent addresses. The allies re-
serve to themselves, however, COM
plete freedom of action when they en-
ter the peace conference on the subject
of the freedom Of the seas.
1t was further stated, with refer
ence to restoration of invaded terri
tories, that the allied governments un-
derstand that compensation will be
made by Germany for all damage TO-
the civilian population of the allies ana
their property as the result of the ag-
gression of Germany ''by land, by sea
and from the air."
Publication of details of the armis-
tice terms still is withheld. They may
not be made known until the Germans
have accepted or rejected them, as was
the course followed by the allies in
dealing with Bulgaria, Turkey ana
Austria. Only the details are in
doubt, however, and no one questions
that acceptance means abject surren-
dor

Forestry After the War.

Nobody except those Of us who have
seen something Of life at the front
during the last four years can realize
what an enormous quantity Of timber
has been taken from this country for
war purposes and what an enormous
amount Of planting and tending Of
trees will be necessary to replace 1t.
Unfortunately foresters who really un-
derstand all that afforestation means
are not numerous in England, and
though the necessity Of educating
youngsters for the work has received
much more serious attention in the
last few years than 1t ever did before,
when our methods-as in many other
things-were haphazard, the facilities
are still hardly sufficient to give us
enough foresters to cope with the de-
