In comparison with what our European allies have had to endure, our work aday life has been little more than just touched by the exigencies of war, and our friends across the seas are Won- dering if we actually comprehend the magnitude of their war tasks and sac rifices.
 Wonder What's Goinq On
 This is shown vividly in communica- tions receiveed by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company of Akron, Ohio, from the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company of Great Britain. We often wonder what you people in Akron think about us in London, or if you ever think about us at all and realize what we are up against" is a charaac- teristic expression of these letters. Tt is just one difficulty after an- other but We are still carrying on.' Most of our men gre gone, our manag ing director captain in the army, and now the air board has taken our place of business for it's own use. To move | at any time is difficult, but in war time-and at a moments notice-words can hardly describe it. Our business these days, needs all our patience. Our l time from business is full of food wor- r1es and coupon troubles. Our nights are disturbed with air raids, and our spare time packed with war work. But for cheerfulness and willing coopera- tion, we are second to none Only a remnant of our former staff is left. But from under all our reverses we come up smiling every time.
 Song Voices Their Spirit
 We have a little song that is char acteristic of the spirit with which all Londoners are meeting the present day situation. and now that America is en,- tering the lists with all her might, and must go through many of the trying experiences that we have. had, this song may have a bit of cheer for you.

Every member of the cast with the exception of two has had experience in one or more high school or professional dramas, most of them this year.
 In presenting Under Cover the senior class will be putting before the public of Phoenix a drama of crime and. intrigue. that has been a faxorite wherever played.

 The curtain rises in the customs of- flee at New York, just before the ar rival of the Mauritania. The inspect ors have just learned that a valuable necklace is to be Smuggled- in on this vessel and are on the alert. They fail to find it, however, and Daniel Taylor, chief inspector, sends for Ethel Cart wright, a popular society girl Threat ening to expose her sister who has smuggled in some valuables he forces her to spy on a certain Stephen Den by, who is staying with friends of hers, the Harringtons.

Torn between love of her sister and love for Denby, she finally decides for the former and en- deavors to secure the necklace from Denbys room. Accidentally a burglar alarm is set off, the house is in a hub bub, She throws the necklace out of the window, where it is found by | Monty Vaughn, another guest, and ex- citement reigns supreme.

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 7-The
text of tho note forwarded by the
imperial German chancellor,
Prince Macmillan, to President
Wilson, through the Swiss gov
ernment, follows:
The German government re-
quests the president OF the United
States to take In hand tho restora-
tion Of peace, acquaint all the bel
Iigerent states of this request and
invite thom to send plenIpoten-
tlarIes for tho purpose Of opening
negotiations.
It accepts the program set forth
by tho president OF the United
States In his message to congress-
on January 8 and In hls later pro-
nouncements, especially his
speech Of September 27, az basis
for peace negotiations.
With q Wow Of avoiding further
bIoodshed, the German govern
ment requests the Immediate con-
clusion Of an armistice on land
and water and In the air.

This would be comparable to the
terms given Bulgaria. Bulgaria sur
rendered when she accepted, but
there are no signs that Germany Is
ready to accept the peace of the
loser. On the contrary, authorities
say that she Is attempting to deceive
the world by appearing to have had
change of heart.
But the state department has said
privately on a number OF OCCASIONS

out stint, until Germany is forced to
surrender-untiI she Is ready to clear
out of these occupied lands and until
there Is a real spokesman represen-
tative of the German people, rather
than of the kaiser.
Army men point out that victory is
a certainty next year. They say it
would be the greatest tragedy OF all
time were the allies now to wipe
the slate clean after sacrificing hum
dreds Of thousands of lives. Quit
ting now would leave Germany intact
and not contritc. The old militarist
rule would still be In force; and tho
world would have no guarantee that
this clique, headed by the HohcnzoI-
lerns, would not attempt In the next
generation to infict it's giutenous de-
sire for world domination upon it's
neighbor.
Continuance of the war Into 1919,
say the military men, will effectively
crush the milltarist spirit of Cor
many. She will be ready then to put
things in order In her own house and
will hearken quito readily to the
terms Of President Wilson.
incidentally Prince Max's speech
as received through the COMMITTEES
on information shows that he crltl-
czed the allies as desirous OF in
fiictino economic distractions on GER
many after the war.
"He would be bad adviser of tho
German nation who would take an
example from CIemenceau and Lloyd
George" said the chancellor. This
plus President Wilson's earnest dec
laraton against the postwar boy-
colt, is likely to bring definite
statement from the allies squarin0
with the presidents position.
The Teutonio peace moves caused
no surprise here. This governments
has had every reason to believe that
Germany intended to prosecute
peace offensive of more extensive
proportions than ever heretofore un-
dertaken. Rejection Of this latsst
maneuver may be even followed BY
further efforts later, for 1t now ap.

American-aIIied victory is in sight.

American Ship Production IS
Seventy Per Cent of En-
tire Worlds Greatest
Output.
WHAT GERMANY LOST
Teutons Lost Thlrty-nine Per Cent Of
Their Tonnage Since United
States Entered tho
War.

rUnited Press Leased Wire Service ]
WASHINGTON, Oct 7.-American
ship production again has broken all
records. The output Of American ship
wards for the twelve months ending
October 1 will be seventy percent Of
the entire worlds greatest annual
pre-war output, according to figures
made available to the United Press
today.
Compared with this, 1t has been
revealed that Germany and Austria
lost thirty-nine percent of their ton
mage since America became bel
ligerent. Through seizure the Teu-
tons lost 3,795,000 deadweight tons.
The greatest annual pre-war output
of the world was in 1913 when ap-
proximately 4,750.000 deadweight tons
were built. Americas output in the
last twelve months aggregated close
to $500, 900 deadweight tons.
Although Germany has surrounded
her merchant fleet with the utmost
secrecy, compilations OF available
facts disclose the German and Aus
trian combined merchant tonnage to
be approximately 100000. This
figure. of course, includes all of their
coastwise bottoms, many of which
are too small for transatlantic trade.
The net loss through seizure. there
fore, is much more severe than the
figures indicate.
Since ruthless submarine warfare
began, the total loss of ships gying
the American flag Is 100000 dead
weight tons. This represents about
4 of one percent of loss sustained by
the central powers through seizure
alone.
No figures ever have leaked out of
Germany as to her losses through
sinkings. Losses reported from time
to time as allied or American naval
men were able to gain contact with
German or Austrian vessels would In
dicate that less than half their for
mer feet remains.
officials here believe also that
ships of the central powers may be
of little value because of the lack of
repairs. Shortage of steel and other
materials used in ship building must
necessarily have forced the ship

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7-Washino-
ton today regarded the latest Teu-
tonic peace moves as attempts to
barter for peace-a peace to Cor
manys advantage before American
allied arms can Visit retrIbution on

offers contain no proposals for with.
drawing troops from allied territory,
no proposals for a general and COM

ties declare. That ono or both Of the

The proposals are timed to befoa
the air at the moment when America
is putting forth its maximum effort
with it's fourth Liberty loan and when
American-aIIied forces are smashing
the Boche armies back along the
west front.
But insofar as America is concern
ed, there Is unity Of feeling against
the proposals. Both England and
France are likely now to mako a
statement of war aims attuned to
President Wilson's desire along that
line.
Prince Max, German chancellor,
has asked that President Wilson
communicate with the allies anent
the peace proposals.
The president may discuss with
them the subject OF restatement OF
war aims, making the allied pur-
poses Enthusiastically clear.
In any event he will let Germany
and Austria know that Americas s
terms are plain and that no insincere
peace offers will swerve this nation
from Its purpose. Some authorities
believed he might tell the Teuton
that peace negotiations could be In
