LONDON, Oct. 23.--It is recalled by the
correspondent at Berne OF the Times
that Matthias Erzberger. leader OF the
German Centrists and a member OF the
Government formed to convince the out
side world of the peace loving character
Of the Government, in a newspaper ar
ticle written in February, 1915. eX-
pressed sentiments quite the contrary TO
those he is now supposed to entertain.
lie wrote:
The greatest ruthlessness IL in reality
the greatest humanity. II 1t should be
possible to destroy the whole OF London
that would be more humane than to allow
one of our fellow countrymen to bleed
to death on the battlefield. because such
a radical cure would lead most speedily
to peace.
england has stolen from us more
than 400 merchant ships. The answer
to this should be that for every German
merchantmen one English town or vii
lage will be destroyed by our airmen."
The German newspapers are laying
great stress on the supposed attitude OF
Herr Erzberger on the peace question.
They refer at length to his plan for a
league OF nations.

VATICAN TOLD FOE
WILL SPARE BELGIUM
Prisoners Free to Return, Says
Letter to Mercier.

RoMr, Oct. 22.-An appeal was
made to Prince Macmillan. the Ger
man Imperial Chancellor. by the Holy
See. asking that the Germans refrain
from devastating and burning those por-
lions of Belgium through which they
are retreatiug. according to the Osser-
rdforc Romano, the semi-oficial vati-
can organ. "A reply was received on
October ~ giving assurances that cate
gorical instructions have been issued by
the German General STAFF that localities
should be preserved and respected in
every way possible.
Later the Papal Nuncio at Munich
was informed that Lille and other places
within the zone of operations had been
spared no far as possible by the Ger
man armies.
Baron Won der Lancken, chief OF the
German political department at Brus-
sells, has informed Cardinal Mercier,
Primate OF Belgium. that when .the Ger
mans evacuate that country the de-
ported Belgians and political prisoners
VIII be spontaneously released, accard-
ing 10 the Osscrrqtore Romano. He told
Cardinal MERCER. 1T IL said, that a
Part OF the Belgians-who were deported
would be free to return TO their country
on Monday
rms notffica ton was in the form of
letter handed to the Cardinal per-
sonallv by Baron Won der Lancken.
The text OF the letter read as follows:
You are the incarnation OF the en-
inence, OF occupied Belgium. You are it's
venerated and needed pastor. 1t Is. then
TO you that the government general and
my local government have charged me to

Reports from London showing that
the Germans had resorted to trick trans
lations In their second note in order TO
deceive the American people focused in
terest on the actual text OF this note BY
means of the German newspapers II has
apparently been demonstrated that the
German Government in reality agreed to
make President Wilson'S fourteen points
a basis OF discussion while at the same
time announcing to the outside world
that Germany agreed to these fourteen
points as actual terms.
Consequently the German newspapers
do not for a moment believe that the
United States would have the right TO
insist on the return OF Alsace. and Lor-
raine to France or that Germany would
accept any such proposition. All that
Germany agrees 10 do is 10 admit that
the question Of Alsace and Lorraine is
open TO discussion at the peace confer
ence. according to the German press,
The most important part of the Ger
man note IL the first paragraph refer
ring TO the evacuation and armistice
proposal The translation naturally be-
comes of distinct Importance in showing
up the cunning Of the German mind and
II Is said here that the actual German
text does not fit the unofficial version
Tho unofficial version gays that the
German Government has started from
the assumption that the procedure of
this evacuation and Of the conditions Of
an armis,ice should be left to the judy
ment OF the military advisers and that
the actual standard Of power on both
sides in the field has to form the basis
for arrangements safeguarding and
guaranteeing this standard"
1t is noted that In one sense Germany
even at this early stage presumes to
dictate 10 the Allies what has to be the
basis of arrangements. Attention nat
urally centres on the words actual
standard of power
Just what phraseology Germany uses
TO convey the idea OF actual standard
of power is not known In advance of
the official text. but it Is presumed here
that this is n rather free translation OF
whas the German Government has said
and that closer analysis of the wording
OF the note will reveal the Teuton pur-
pose TO make this part OF the commune
cation subject to various interpretations
should the United States and the Allies
really consider the armistice proposition.

DoUAI HOUSES UNAVAILABLE
Many Burned From sheer Caprice
and ValuabIes stolen.

LONDON, Oct 22.-Not one OF several
hundred houses In Douai inspected by
the correspondent of the Daily Mall at
British headquarters Is in a llvable con-
dition. Apparently the inhabitants were
removed SO that the Germans biileted in
the town could have a free hand over
the houses and their contents.
The south and east sides Of the Grande
Place. the correspondent adds. were
blown to the ground. A number a
houses in the southern part Of the town
were burned apparently out OF sheer
caprice. The handsome city hall was
stripped OF its candelabra and the
archives there were thrown about In con.
fusion.

u-Bont Murders Are substant,ated.

With reference TO the paragraph in
the German note denying that the Ger
man navy in sinking ships ever pur-
posely DESTROYED lifeboats with their
passengers, II is pointed out in Gov
eminent circles that many cases could
De quoted in reply to this denial. Two
recent cases are the iiandovery Castle
the Canadian hospital ship sunk in the
Atlantic. and the French steamship Ly-
diana, sunk off the north coast of Spain
on July l6.
The Llandovery Castle was torpedoed
and sunk off the Irish coast on the night
Of June % while returning from Hail
fax with no wounded aboard. The ves-
sci carried 20S persons, including four
teen female nurses. and only twenty
four were saved. The German subma-
rine made no effort TO aid the survivors
and even tried to sink at least one of
tho lifeboats
After the Lydiana had been torpedoed
two whaleboats and a raft were lowered.
The German submarine rammed both
boats. cutting them in two. After sew
eral fru'tess attempts the submarine
succeeded III sinking the raft and then
disappeared without helping the sur
vivors. Nine men OF the crew OF forty
two were picked up later, having chung
to wreckage for more than a day. The
second engineer OF the Lydiana reported
that the crew OF the submarine had
laughed at him when he accused them
OF deliberately trying to kill all on board
the steamer.
1.-The section OF the wireless text of the
German note referred to reads: THE

the German navy in sinking ships has
ever purposely destroyed Iireboats with

AZ Reichstag's Expense.

Thus the new Government has actually
agreed. at Bavaria's dictation, to the
fertilization OF that preposterous institu-
ton. the Federal Council, at the expense
OF the Reichstag itself Instead of
bringing about reform the Government
Is making compromise proposals.
The advertised position OF the recently
elevated Socialists to positions In the
Government ia pure fiction. They are
now being described in official documents
az members OF the imperial administra-
ton, but there is no such thing as the
imperial administration and the so-called
responsibility OF the new Government
to the Reichstag Is n mere sham
The constitution of the German En-
-pire with respect to where il stands on
matters OF real importance stands ex-
actly where 1t did with the Emperor In
the position of first Importance and to a
minor degree the Federal Council exactly
where It was before. The only change is
the one which provides for shifting the

Food is OF vital necessity, and from

Americas army of food producers has

Gen. Pershing's letter also said that
the farmers have not only reduced their
quota of the fighting men in the army
