Washington, Oct 9. President
Wilson late Yesterday served notice
on the new German Imperial ChanceI-
lor. Prince MaXimilian of Baden, that
there can be no cessation of HOSTILE
ties no armistice, so long as the
armies Of the Central Powers occupy
the soil of the allied governments.
This he did il a note of inquiry ad-
dressed to the Chancellor and deliV-
cred by Secretary of State Lansing
late in the afternoon to the Charge
d Affaires of the Swiss Government
for communication through the
Berne Government to Prince Maxi
! MILAN at Berlin. The note is not in
any other sense a reply to the German
and Austrian communications, laid
before the president requesting him
to take steps for the restoration OF
peace, to notify all belligents of that
request, and to invite them to dele
gate plenipotentiaries for the purpose
OF taking up negotiations.
1T is not q reply, but an inquiry.
said Secretary Lansing in the only
statement he would consent to make
for publication when he handed the
text of this governments note to the
German Chancellor to representatives
! of the press at the State department
| at o'clock.
The presidents actual reply to the
| German, Austrian and Turkish gov
ernments, all of which have sent idan-
| teal communications to the Washing
| ton government, will not be made
until after Prince Macmillan has
| made his response to the effort of the
! president to obtain definite and IN.
! equivocal answers to questions which

government whom the President has
declared he could not trust.
If the German Government is not
ready to accept these terms, Prince
Max will be unable to say so and at
the same time go before the German
people with the argument that Ger
many was willing to accept but had
been coldIy repulsed by the Allies
It is right here that many public men
here were inclined to the belief
that the President had adopted
a wise course in seeking to apply the
acid test to Germany's sincerity be-
fore sending forward the reply he Is
ready to send the moment he is con-
vinced that Germany is not squarcly
toeing the mark.
The Presidents note Of inquiry does
not ask merely whether Germany ac-
cepts the IA terms of the Prcsi-
| dent as set forth in his address to Con-
gross on Jan. 8 last; he wants to
| know, candidly, whether the German
| Government accepts the terms"
| laid down by the President not only in
| his Jan. speech, but also lin subse-
| Quent addresses" He wishes to ac-
| certain whether the German Govern
ment accepts the terms laid down in
!
gress, his speech of July 4 at Wash
| ingtons Tomb at Mount Vernon, and
| his speech at the opening Of the pres
| ent Liberty Loan campaign in New
| York City and Sept %, and particular
| ly what he says about autocratic gov
| ernmentS.'
For Whom Docs Chancellor Speak?
What the President says in the last
paragraph of the note to Prince Max
| imilian, which asks whether the I'M
| perial Chancellor is speaking mere
| 1y" for the constituted authorities of
the German Empire, who have so
far conducted the war; will be more
clearly understood when read in the
| light Of what he said about auto
| cratic governments in these speeches.
| The importance Of the President s
demand to know if the Chancellor is
| speaking merely for the military au-
tocracy that plunged the world into
! war is best understood when his ad-
| dress at New York on Sept. q is re-
| called. He laid down as the first of
! the issues of the war the question
! whether the military powers of any
nation or group Of nations shall be
| suffered to determine the fortunes of
peoples over whom they have no right
| to rule, except the right Of force"
| shall peoples be ruled and dominated
| even in their own internal affairs by
arbitrary and irresponsible force or by
I their own will and choice?"
These two questions are clearly
| aimed at the German government, and
unless Prince Max can convince the
| President that he is speaking not for
| the Emperor and his military chief
tains, but for the German people
! themselves, he need not reply at ALL

Capital Still Expects Rejection.

Nothing in the action of the presi
dent has shaken the confidence in
congress and diplomatic circles In
Washington that when the presl-
dents reply is sent it will be a rejec
ton Of the German. Austrian and
Turkish proposals. This opinion is
predicted on what amounts to q deep
conviction that the reply of Prince
Macmillan will not clearly demon
strate the willingness of Germany to
accepted the terms laid down by
President Wilson in his speeches.
The feeling here is that nothing but
complete military defeat or absolutely
unconditional surrender will bring
about the outright acceptance of the
program of war aims for which the
Entente powers and associated
smaller nations are fighting.
Before making his reply to the
note received from Prince Macmillan
President Wilson asks for frank an
swers to these questions:
First.-Whether the German I'M
perial Government accepts the terms
laid down by the President in his ad-
dress to Congress of Jan. s. 1918, and
in subsequent addresses.
Second.-Whether its object in en-
| tering into discussions would be only
! to agree upon the "practical applica-
| ton" of the terms proposed by Presi-
| dent Wilson.
! Third.-Whethef the new German
! Chancellor is speaking "merely for
the constituted authorities of the en-
! pire who SO far have conducted the
! war"
! The Presidents note is interpreted
! as meaning that there can be no bar
! gain. no compromise over the terms
/ he has laid down i'll his addresses,
! and that these must be accepted with
| out abatement or equivocation by the
! Central Powers. 1t is construed that
! there must be an unconditional sur
! render to these terms before steps can
| be taken toward the restoration of
! peace. The phrasing of the Presi-
| dents inquiry very clearly indicates
I that he does not propose to parley
| with the German government over
! the acceptance of the terms as such
and must be assured and guaranteed
in advance that the German govern
| ment does accept them.
| Nothing Yielded.

TRIBUTE TO H. B. HUMASON

The board of directors of the Stan
by Works has adopted the following
siinute on the death of Harris Burrill
umason, secretary of the company
#ho died on June 80, last:
'fETarriss Burrill Humasou, Score
Aary of this company, died on June
sDth 1918, after a long illness.
He served this company III many
capacities faithfully and we'll for more
nan thirty years. He was modest,
nassuming and unseltish, especially
onscientious, and actuated always by
Ugh motives. He had keen interest

has yielded anything nor that he has
departed from the firm attitude he
has taken in favor of carrying for
ward the war with all the force at
his command to achieve the aims for
which this nation and its allies are
fighting. The sincerity Of the Ger
man military and Government lead
ers is challenged by all public men,
and there is a strong disposition that
the German gOvernm ent has no sim
cere intention Of making peace along
the lines proposed by the President.
But the general disposition is to
await developments in the confident
belief that the Presidents note will
dem onstrate Enthusiastically the insin-
cerity of the German peace proposal
and thus enable him, when his reply
does go forward to deliver a ringing
rejection as spokesman for all the
Allied Powers.
The Presidents note, in the opin-
ion of many will turn the tables on
those behind the move of Prince
MaXimilian, who are believed to have
counted on putting President Wilson
and the Allies Gin q hole if the

ton were rejected as CURLY as was

Gives Enemy No argument.

Sight is not lost of the fact that q
flat rejection Of the German offer
would afford the German mi1itarists
an opportunity to turn it to their ad-
vantage at home 4 fiat rejection of
the proposal, however unanimously it
would have been supported by the
overwh Ginning sentiment here and in
allied countries would give the Ger
man government chance to try to
make it appear that Germany was
willing to accept all OF President
Wilson'S terms. and end the war on
that basis, yet Prince Maximilian' S
offer had been turned down and moth
Ting was left for the German people
but to stand in solid alignment in de-
Tense Of Germany against q con1bina-
ton seeking ''to destroy' the Ger
man nation.
It is very clearly the opinion here
that Prince Macmillan did not pro
pose to ''accept'' the terms laid down
by President Wilson, but only to draw
the Allies into a discussion "based''
on their terms in an effort to gain a
breathing spell for the hard-pressed
German Army through an armistic
if possible, and end the war in a com
promise, or, failing that, to bolster
the N rale of the people at home.
President Wilson's note seeks q can
did reply from Prince Max on this
point. President Wilson wishes to
know without equivocation whether
| the German Government is willing to
accept all the terms outlined by the
President, and whether the Chancel-
lor is speaking merely for the con-
stituted authorities of the German

Don't Believe All You Read.

There seems no, end 10 the scheming Of the Ger
mans The latest Is seen in the request made by the
military authorities to the editors Of American pa
pers to the effect that grave suspicion shonld be
cast upon the reliability Of news contained in let
ters reaching this country from Americans. who are
prisoners OF war in German camps:
An officer Of the military intelligence branch
who spent two years of the war in Germany, reports
that there are certain rules laid down for all pris
oners in letter writing The price they pay for the
transmission OF their letters is that they must state
that they are well treated also that the food is good
and that they are contened The letters Of the pris
oners are carefully censored at the camp, and any
statements made contrary 70 the rules laid down
for letter writing simply destruction of the
letter.
1t is therefore concluded that any information
coming FROM American prisoners in Germany is
absolutely unreliable and should not be published
in American newspapers OF magazines as in any
way authentic"
The American people have learned pretty
thoroughly through the exposure of 101 German lies
how much to believe of what comes from Hunland.

And Germany today is being beaten beaten bv
of all civilized nations beaten in all kinds of
warfare. beaten in the open and beaten in her care

rent milfarism and its boosted product the German
army, show their heads. This we are entitled 10
proclaim with confidence and Joy; and this we may
proclaim without forgetting for moment that ardu-
labors and a long period Of violent fighting are
still ahead of US
Moreover, the beating Germany has been getting

nations intend TO give her Where her shattered df-
visions flee today from redeemed land Germany IS

Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am
trained nurse and on account Of
poor health / have not been able to
go to France and have had to con-
tent myself with work here in the
hospital. Eight years ago when /
started nursing l had a young man
for patient who fell In love with
me. or pretended to. When he was
sick he talked about marrying me
when he was well again, and with
such promises he made me kiss
him often.
After he did not need my SER
vices any longer he came to see
me Just three times, and then / got
a letter from him saying that he
had gone to another town to work
and promised to send me his adj
dress as soon as he mad a perrna-
nent one. / never heard from him
and I was too proud to ask his par
ents for it. They did not seem 10
like me and l knew they would not
have wished me 10 marry him
because l was a working girl.
IT took me several years to get
over my love for this boy and until
this day / have never loved an
other man. Several weeks ago a
Young girl who was one Of my pa
tents invited me to go to nearby
town with her to a dancing party
I still enjoy dancing. While there
! met this man again. He told me
that he had been married and di-
vcrced since | had seen him last
and that he had never been able to
forget me. The reason he did not
write was because his mother made
him promise he would give me up
for her sake. He begged to see
me again, but I would not let him
come Recently I received a long
letter from him begging to see me
again. He says he has never loved
anyone else apd asks me to for
give him for the mistake he made
when he was a boy. What do you
think l ought TO do?
NURSE MOLLY.
Let the man come. 1t may be
that after all these years you and
he will find happiness together. He
has been punished for the wrong
he did you when he dropped you so
