very boats in which their pas,

their way to safety: and in their
present enforced withdrawal from

wanton destruction which has al

tees of civilized warfare. Cities

TEXT OF PRESIDENT WILSON'S REPLY
TO CERMANYS PEACE NOTE.

From the Secretary Of State to the
Charge d'Affaires of Switzerland. ad
interim, In charge Of German interests
in the United States.
DEPARTMENT OF STATE.
p, October IA, 1918.
Sir: ....-.
In reply to the communication OF
the German government, dated the
18th instant. which you handed me
today. have the honor to- request
you to transmit the following an.
swer:
..The unqualified acceptance by
. the present German government
and by a large majority of the
German reichstag OF the terms
y lait, down by the President Of the
address TO the Congress of the
United States on the eighth of
January, 1918. and III his suose-
quent addresses justifes the Presi-
dent in making q frank and di-
rect statement of his decision
with regard to the communications
of the German government of the
eighth and twelfth of October,
1918.
1T must be clearly understood
that the process Of evacuation and
the conditions OF an arinistice are
matters which must be left to the
Judgment and advice of the mil
itary advisers of the government
of the United StAes and the al
lied governments, and the Presi-
dent feels it his duty to say that
no arrangement can be accepted
by the government of the United
States which does not provide abb
solute1y satisfactory safeguards
and guarantees of the maintenance
of the present military supremacy
of the armies of the United States
and Of the allies in the field. He
feels confident that he can safely
assume that this will also be the
judgment and decision of the allied
governments.
1.-The President feels that it is
DISC his duty to add that neither
the government of the United
States nor, he is quite sure, the
governments with which the gov
ernment of the United States Is
associated as a belligerent will
consent to consider an armistice so
long as the armed forces Of Ger
many continue the Illegal and in
humane practices which they still
persist in. At the very time
that the German government ap-
proaches the government of the
United States with proposals OF

All Doubts Removed.

Senator Hitchcock, chairman Of the
foreign relations committee. said:
my view is that the President has
removed all doubts, that have been
expressed as to the WISDOM Of his
course and provided against all the
dangers that critics have seen in the
policies he has been pursuing. He
says in effect that If an armistice is
effected, it must be one in which the
generals in the field will approve,
and which will preserve the existing
supremacy of the military forces.
HE lays great stress on the fact
that the conditions to be met will
mean the downfall of military autoc-
racy of Germany. which means a radi-
cal amendment to the constitution of
Germany that will place the war making
and the peace making in the hands Of
the people.
ITO my mind the greatest achieve
ment Of the war would be the democ-
ratization of Germany, and it is the
best assurance of the future peace Of
the world"
Note Meets All Expectations.
''The note comes up to all public
expectations in every way" said Sem
tor Martin of Virginia, the democratic
leader.
Other senators who issued state
ments approving the reply included
Senators Wadsworth of New York
and New of Indiana, republican, and
Pittman, Nevada; Thomas, Colorado;

the Pre9ldenCS reply TO Germany
was vigorously applauded In the Sem
ate when It was read yesterday after
noon by Chairman Hitchcock Of the
foreign relations committee. The Sem
ate was held TN session until It could
receive the text Of the message. It
came to Senator Hitchcock by way Of
a press wire from the State Depart

Breaking the Senate rules which
frown upon any applause or demonstra-

the real meaning Of the message sank
in upon them.

Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts,, the

criticised the Presidents course in

was among the first senators to issue
public statement commencing the
Presidents reply.

the President takes the ground which
he does. OF course, everything he
says about the conduct of the German
government, the German army and
the German navy is absolutely true.
Such conduct is quite sufficient in it.

an armistice.
1.-THE Presidents last clause, in
which he in substance declines to
carry on any discussions with the
German government, is eminently
satisfactory, and will, I am sure,
bring a great sense Of relief to the
American people, who, am certain,

Farmers Will Win the War
Paper Given by Miss Maude Bryant al
Waldo Pomona Grange July End.

The point h as been reached when war
is waged literally by whole nations. Every
man, woman and child is involved and
nearly every adult and most boys and
girls ca be efficient factors, especially in
our biggest war problem.
The food problem is certainly the farm
problem. 1t is one which has Away S
been with us. But the war has changed
it to crisis of international importance,
for now we not only have our own coun-
try to feed, but the British, the French,
the Italians and last, but by all evidence
not least, the Belgians.
To accomplish this the Nation must
aim at the perfection of organization and
therefore each individual must recognize
the necessity of making sacrifices and
more than ever of working under limita-
tons. And though the most needed oc-
cupation may not be the most attractive
to many, it should appeal to us above all
others because it is the most necessary.
Then, too, we should feel that we are
fortunate to be living at time when
farming is carried on SO easily and when
there are so many attractions in life on
the farm.
In modern gardening the backache
breeding hoe and the weeder of a genera
ton ago have been replaced by those
wonderful little implements set on wheels
and pushed in front of one by two handles
like a plow. The heavy blowing and
planting of spring are stilla mans task;
but these little hand-cultivators make
the later care of q garden pleasant out
of door task for women and children.
And a whole list of farm betterments,
such as daily mail, delivery, sanitation,
and home conyeniences may be added.
The social conditions of rural commune
ties are greatly changed. The whole re-

-nh,sno ;s staring us in the face, more
proJmction. for certainly without our ex-
ports of food we would lack one OF our
most important factors, especially at this
great crisis.
Onr chief support is the realization that
q or;cnlture is the most important and
fundamental business in all the world,
and the source and foundation of the
winning of this war for peace and future
nrosperity. In the digging OF ore from
our mines, in the deforestatlon OF our
timbered lands and in the exhaustion of
our fisheries, we are but depicting our
capital. while in agriculture each year
we actually create new wealth from the
earth and the air which before were not
available to mans uses.
In the final analysis, food or aericul-
tural preparedness in the very nature OF
the case is not comparable with military
preparedness, because the feeding of the
Nation must be done in million ways
and in millions of different places: 1t the
American man or woman who sits down
to meal would make an effort to under
stand the processes by which the food
has been prepared, shipped, bought and
grown or raised, then | think we would
be gin to have new vision of farming in
this country. There would be an oppor-
tunity to solve, with intelligence and for
the benefit of all, the problem OF feeding
which after all is the problem of farming
And the country TINT can accomplish
that aim is the country that will unques-
tionably win the war.

You apply just few drops on the ten

HOOVER TO SWEETEN

Confectioners and manufacturers OF
non-essential food products contain
ing sugar can look forward TO the
prospect OF an increase in their allot-
ment, according TO the Food Admins
tration.
In October the Food Administration
requested sugar ref.ners to limit sales
to confectioners TO fifty per cent Of
normal requirements. Now the Food
Administration has telegraphed to the
refiners and distributors proposing to
increase the allowance to eighty per
cent as soon as the normal supply OF
sugar is assured. and 1t is not likely
that this will be long deferred.
