THE AMERICAN REPLY

ID RESIDENT WILSON the peace proposals of Maxi milan tainted with fraud. He refuses to transmit the proposals to the Allies of America until Germany offers guarantees of good faith The Presidents equivalent to proposal for unconditional surrender.
 Does Germany accept all the peace demands States without reservation that the only duty of peace conference would be formulation of the conditions for execu ing the terms?
 Does the chancellor represent the party only or the people of Germany?
 Is Germany willing to withdraw its armies from all vaded territories?
 While German soldier stands conquered sol other than herald, prisoner America will be medium for the conveyance of German peace notes to her allies
 Germany intended by the agency of her note convey German citizens belief that America offered America has asked.
 Mr. Wilson brings the Kaiser to flat alternative Without reservation evasion he must accept the terms uncondon- ally leave them His armies must be withdrawn His rule must give way to responsible and democratic government the German people.
 There is nothing the that is difficult to understand the note contained any obscure evasive doubtful statement the fall of Cambra the destruction the Hndenburg line is magnfying glass, which would everything clear The Hohenzolern must look through that glass whether he will or no.

THE STATES TO
 HELP IN WAR
Utility Commissioners Will Discuss Control by the
 Government.

A call for what is expected to prove the most important convention of the National Association of Railway and Utilities Commissioners during the thirty years of its existence was sent out yesterday by the associations sec retary, James B. Walker. The con vention will begin in Washington O. November 12. Secretary McAdoo Director General of Railroads, will address the convention and will prob- ably offer suggestions showing in what manner the activities of the va rious state utility commissions may be exercised in behalf of the National Government. Referring to the es- pecial importance of this years con- VentioR the call says:
 "The relations of the state commis- sions to the National Government, their ability to promote the success of governmental operation of rail- road, telephone and telegraph com panies, and their undoubted desire to Cooperate to the greatest extent dur ing the war so as to strengthen the arm of the nation in it's mighty strug- gle, bring up questions that demand most serious consideration by this as sociation.
 It was said yesterday that the re- port of the Special War Committee of the organization and the discus sion which would follow would dis close the attitude of the various states upon the subject of Federal control and operation and the effect 1t has had upon the several states Other reports will be made on public ownership and operationu, safety of railroad operation, railroad rates, car l service and demurrage, statistics and 1 accounts, capitalization and intercor- porate relations public utility rates, | and state and federal legislation.

meaning a peace which will not strip the Fatherland of all the land it has seized. or the plunder its troops have taken, nor make her pay for the losses she has caused to the innocent wher- ever her troops have gone. Resolved, That in the opinion of the Council there should be no peace considered until Germany and her vassals are thoroughly beaten, and her far-rcsching plan of werld-do- ninion destroyed. We are opposed to any peace by negotiation, concilia- tion, or bargaining.
 Germany must be stripped of all the territory she has won and her grip on territory, nations and peoples adjoining her must be loosed. The safety of the world depends upon this.
 "Justice demands from Germany and the German people and her vass- als, and Connecticut insists upon that demand, that they make reparation 7 he damages and losses caused by them, and that they be compelled to give adequate assurances for the fu- ture and to practice lawful liberty to all. We are opposed to any peace treaty which does not substantially in- c1ude these provisions.
 Resolved, That this Council is op- posed to every suggestion of an arm istice while a soldier of Germany is without the bounds of Germany ai they were at the outbreak of the war ! and while a single submarine Is op. erating against the ships of the Al lies.

WHY ADVERTISED
GIA | lJED
 STORES SUCCEED

When a man gets out after trade, he gives the impress ion that he has initiative and enterprise. He is evi- dently not satisfied to do business in the old Tut, the same as he or his father or the merchant across the way did last year. So the man who advertises shows that he is looking for new customers, new trade, new friends.
 The public take very kindly to that type of man. They believe that spirit will be to their advantage. They feel that the man who shows a go ahead spirit in his selling, will show it in his buying, too. They fell that the same initiative will lead him to take extra effort to get values at the low est possible prices, and to give his customers the advantage.
 They feel that the man whose in itiative is proved by his advertising, will show that enterprise by offering his goods at specially good values. That is why newspaper advertising finds immediate response in an in creased stream of customers to an advertised store.

UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER ,s, CONNECTICUT'S DEMAND FOR
 TERMS TO CENTRAL POWERS

and in every conflict in which they have been engaged since.
 "St. Mihiel told the world that the American general could conceive plan of battle which is the admira- tion of military experts, prepare it to its last detail and carry it out ahead of schedule time, successful at every point.
 "All of this continued, triumphant progress is due in no small measure to the unity of command under that master of strategy and self-control, Marshal Foch.
 Germany is resisting desperately. As she is forced back she leaves be- hind her a waste of desolation and woe. No single thing that their train ed and ruthless cruelty could conceive of has been omitted. Her cruelty continues on land and sea. Every in dustry which could compete with Germany is destroyed. All that she can do to despoil Belgium and France that she continues to do.
 Germany is organizing her indus try and her business so that after the war she may flood the markets of the world with her goods at a cheaper rate than any can sell for. Her in- dustry and her business have largely been put under governmental con trol. Her mercantile marine and her fleet are largely intact. Her present purpose is to secure an economic dominion upon which to build another world dominion war. Neither the German government nor the German people show the slightest apprecia- ton of their crimes, nor the smallest desire to make reparation. They finally see that their doom is i-apend- ing, and they ask directly through their vassa1s that we enter upon ne | gotiations for peace.-'For an honor

Connecticut opposes any peace treaty with Germany and her vassals unless preceded by an unconditional surrender as being against the inter- ests of America and her allies and against an enduring and just peace"
 This expression of the fighting spirit of all Connecticut is contained in a resolution passed by the Con- necticut State Council of Defense. The resolution, drawn by Justice George w. Wheeler of Bridgeport, was passed unanimously by the Coun- cf. In passing it, members of the Council believed that they were ex- pressing the spirit of the entire people of Connecticut.
 Resolved That the Connecticut Council of Defense heartily rejoices in the unparalleled achievements of the Allies. Bulgaria has internationally surrendered. Turkey is cut off from the Central powers. The right wing of the Austrian army is fleeing from Serbia. Its left wing is being steadily pressed out of Albania and Monte negro. The Italian drive is on the | way. From the North Sea, south all along the western front the Allies are steadily driving Germany and her vassals out of Belgium and France. | On September 9th, in resolutions then passed by the council, we said, We wait with confidence the day. when American troops, under their own 1 commanders, shall execute their or ders and carry on a battle upon their
 own sector. They will emulate the
 valor and military skill of our Allies,
 and we cannot ask for more Three
 days later General Pershing struck al
 the St. Mihiel salient and the Ameri-
 can forces won in an incredibly short
 time one of the most brilliant victories
 of the war. The valor of our troops
 had been demonstrated at Seichepre1
