THE PRESIDENTS APPEAL

President Wilson has issued this
statement on the fourth Liberty
loan:
"The reply of the German gov
eminent to my note of inquiry dat
ed Oct. 8 gives occasion for me to
say to my fellow countrymen that
neither that reply nor any other
recent events have in any way d.
minished the vital Importance OF
the Liberty loan. Relaxation now,
hesitation now, would mean defeat
when victory seems to be in sight;
would mean years of war instead
of peace upon our own terms.
al earnestly request every patri-
otto American to leave to the
governments of the United States
and of the allies the momentous
discussion initiated by Germany
and to remember that for each
man his duty is to strengthen the
hands of these governments and
to do il IN the most important way
now immediately presented-by
subscribing to the utmost of his
ability for bonds of the fourth
Liberty loan.
"That loan must be successful.
am sure that the American peo-
pie will not fail to see their duty
and make it successful"

United Press
War Review by
J.W.T. Mason

Germany's peace offensive has
failed. The kaiser's effort TO
save himself from defeat by the
use of crafty words has met the
same fate as his military offens-
i've. Hencerorth nothing remains
for Germany but the uncondition-
al surrender of her military and
diplomatic autocrats.
President Wilson's reply to
Chancellor Macmillan will cut
deeply into the German morale.
1t is worth more than many army
corps to the allied cause, for its
disintegrating work will be ef-
fective not only among the Ger
man soldiers in the field, but also
among the German people at
home. Three months ago, when
the Americans drove German
army across the Marine, the kais-
err knew America was arriving at
military maturity and ordered
his defeated troops to start for
home. Today, the kaiser knows
that his diplomatic note writer's
have likewise been trapped by
President Wilson's skill. The
strategy of the situation is Who'll
ly on the side of democracy.
The exchange of notes has re-,
vealed the kaiser to his people
shorn of his divine right and
humbly petitioning the demo
cratic nations for an armistice.
= But il is not enough, and so the
HohenZollern intimate of Gott
has even promised to abandon
the conquered territory for whose
possession two million Germans
have been killed or permanently
injured. And still it is not
enough No absolutist monarch
can long cling to his preroga-
tives when his impotence is thus
shown to his. victims. President
Wilson has set the Hohenzollern
throne rocking. There can be
no question but that the kaiser is
now in jeopardy of losing his
crown by an act of eXpiation on
the part of the German people.
What the president has started it
is better for the German people to
finish.
If the Hohenzollerns are. over
thrown by direct mandate of the
allies there will remain the posi-
bility of constant royal conspira-
cies in future years, with the CON
niyance perhaps of part of the
German people. If Germany
herself, however. forces the abb
dication, then the Hohenzollerns
in truth, will become the outlaws
of humanity.

HARD ON HUN TANKS.
Allies Artillery Exacts Heavy Toll
On Enemy Field Guns.

With the American Army in France
Sept. IL. (By Mail)-In certain
division, they never get through tell
ing about their artillery. They are
proud of the artillery, and the artil-
lery is proud of its work.
Down in Lorraine the artillery had
sport which turned out to be some.
thing better than a game when the
division took its stand east of Rheims.
The artillerymen used to shoot at
German "goulash wagons" and trucks
coming down the roads behind the
Lorraine lines. The Americans got
quite expert at upsetting traffic as it
rolled toward the front.
Near Rheims the artillery found
bigger game. 1t was tanks. Out
in front of the positions held by the
allies were some low sandy hills over
which the Germans sent their tanks
to harrass the American positions.
When the first tank crawIed over the
brow of the hill, an artilleryman ap.
plying the "goulasn wagon" tactics,
planted a shell squarely in the middle
of the tank.
Meantime, other batteries got four
more Hun tanks one by one as they
crawled to crossroad just behind
the advanced German positions. The
Germans were amazed at the accuracy
of the fire. and found tanks costly
when the better part of
their fleet of more than twenty-five
was damaged beyond use by the ar
tillery, before the tanks could fire
shot. ..-.-..

With the American Army in France,
Sept. 16.-By Mail.-Thc boys over

back home excel in this game of

food saving. Some mothers and faith

the fighters might have more. o..
TO show its appreciation of economy
back home, the army has begun a
similar campaign to save grub" as
they call it in the ranks.
The campaign is one OF saving with
out denial. Men cannot stand the
strain over here If they are denied
enough food. But they can save with
out being stingy.
There are several ways of going at
Saving grub" in the army
One is TO avoid Overlooking at the
camp kitchen or the mess. The cooks
in the army are good scouts and

Ill INNATE FATE
OF KAISER's RULE
WILL CAUSE HoHENZolLERN
. POWER TO cRuM5LE.
TEUTON PEOPLE VOICE VIEWS
President Wilson's Peace Terms Are
Endorsed by AIIies-England Pro-
poses Terms by Which An Ar
mistice Can Be Obtained.
(By Robert J. Bender.)

Washington. Oct. 16.-Upon the
growing dissatisfaction in Germany
over the Kaiser's rule, authorities
here today based their views that the
Hokenzollern power soon will crum-
bic and that the Wilson peace terms
will then be accepted.
Both openly and guardedly the
Teutonic people have voiced dissatis-
faction with the things as they now
are in the Teutonic political life.
Hun Censor is Powerless.
The comment expressing discomfort
with the Kaiser's autocratic power
now has become so general to the al
lied powers that the German censor
apparently does not dare kill it.
Authorities here believe that even
10 the most loyal of the Kaiser's peO-
pie it will become apparent soon that
the murderous master is the only
thing standing in the path of peace
and will realize that they are fight
ing a losing fight.
The State Department is keeping
a careful file of the German press
comment gathered through agencies
in countries near Germany.
The department withholds this gen
orally lest it raise American ideas
Of an early peace unduly.
In this connection it is said that
this government is now proceeding
with its war work just rs if no peace
notes had been exchanged.
Bullets Are Best Arguments.
The military authorities are dis
carding peace prospects through di-
plomacy entirely, from their plans
and calculations. They are arrang,
ing for force without stint" going on
the theory that so far the most con,
! yincing argument for German is a
bullet through the head" ,.
Authorities look for an early col
lapse Of Turkey. Her request for
peace probably will be answered by
! the allies with a demand for uncondi.
! tional surrender to be arranged with
under the commanding general along
the lines similar in scope as those
which applied TO Bulgaria.
