WASHINGTON. Oct. 11.-That the
kaiser and his militraistic crew will
attempt evasion and counter pro-
posals when they reply to President
Wilson's peace note inquiries was the
conviction in well informed circles
here today.
According to reports received here.
the German reply will be submitted
to the reichstag-in order to give 1t
the semblance of approval by the
people"
Many careful observers of German
practices believe the reply will run
about thus:
Germany will accept the presi-
dents fourteen points IL they are
made to apply to Americas friends
as well as her enemies.
Germany will evacuate Belgium
and northern France and draw all
but necessary police forces out of
other occupied territory provided

ISOLATION with us, VIC should still leave
much to be said in her praise.
The position Of assistant superin-
tendent, which was so wen filled by
Miss Una Clark and later by Miss Nio-
let Robinson, is now held by Miss AL
saba Donaldson.
IT was found advisable to establish
the Office of night Tatron, position
which was at first filled by Miss Cath
crime Cyr, a graduate Of the hospital
Later the work was taken for short
time by. Miss Mildred Hunt, and in
October Miss Helen Shaw was chosen
for the position. The place of second
assistant superintendent is at prcscn,
filled by Miss Bcrnice Ames.
The clerical and stcnographic work
Of the superintendent Office is ef-
ficicntly handled by Miss Helen Mad
docks.
In concluding. we feel that that we
cannot too greatly emphasize the i'm
portance of the service rendered by
the staff Of physicians and surgeons,
who have added so greatly TO the
success of this institutions; they have
at all times been available. and they
extend TO the ward patients their valu-
able service absolutely without com
