Roosevelt Would
Answer Germany
With Emphatic IN"

Chicago, Oct. 8.-Chicago's an
swer to Germany's peace plea today
was a subscription of $l8,000,000 to
the fourth Liberty loan. 1t was
unconditional surrender" day and
more bonds were sold than on any
one day since the campaign begun
The city's subscriptions now total
$l03,000,000, nearly half of its quota
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, who
was in the city for an hour between
trains and Thomas G. Masaryk,
Czecho-Slovak council, made ad-
dresses in support of the Liberty
loan.
There are only two answers to
this latest peace attack" said Col
onel Roosevelt, "the first being an
emphatic no and the second tre-
mendous over-subscription to the
fourth Liberty loan. l cannot con-
ceive of any loyal American being
deluded by this peace talk from
Berlin Germany shall have peace
only when its military machine has
been destroyed and not before"

wards Walincourt, Malincourt,
Esnes, Wambaix, Serain, Fremont
Brancourt and Lesdain and towards
the Cambrai-Le- Chateau road. If
this road is cut, it will further in
sure the speedy fall OF Cambria.
AS matter of fact, some of these
towns have probably already been
captured, but information is always
meager so soon after an attack of
such great proportions is launched.
While this battle ragged, the Brit
ish in the northern areas carried out
demonstrations which gave the Ger
mans there something to worry
about.
Bitter fighting was in progress just
south of Cambria when the British,
Americans and French for 20 miles
to the south went over the top. A
cold rain had started during the
night and continued, Mist and fog
assisted the attack in some places.
The enemy counter-attack at
many places appeared to have been
weak and thin, for the Germans,
realizing the deSperateness of their
position, had moved their guns we'll
back. The British barrage did terri
bic damage among the ranks of the
retiring Huns. The principal resist
ance came from the machine gun
ners, fighting from pockets and nests
as heretofore.
AT this hour the battle is pro-
ceeding with the greatest fury.

Spanish Influenza
Spreading Rapidly
In South and West

Washington, Oct. 8.-While a
continued decrease in the number
of new cases of Spanish influenza
at army camps was shown in re.
ports today to the Office Of the sur.
gcon general of the army, the
spread OF the malady among the
civilian population over the coun-
try, apparently still is far from be-
ing checked.
Reports to the public health serv-
ice showed that the disease was
spreading rapidly in the south and
that it also was epidemic in por-
tons of the middle west and far
west heretofore free from it. South
Dakota was added to the list OF
new states reporting the disease
in epidemic form.
During the "a hours ending to-
day at noon, 1850 new cases OF
influenza have been reported by
all army camps. New cases OF
pneumonia also decreased, totalling
only 2,l8l, and deaths were fewer,
1871.
The total number of cases of in
huenza reported from all the army
camps since the disease became cpl
demic last month now is placed at
more than $4,000, while pneumonia
cases total 1928, and deaths sou.

Crop Prospects Show
Material Improvement

Washington, Oct. 8.-General i'm
provement in crop prospects on
October | over a month ago was
shown today by the Department Of
Agriculture's monthly report.
Corn improved by about 100000
bushels and now gives prospect of
a 27l7,775,000- bushel crop, which
would be AL 100000 bushels smaller
than last years.
Spring wheat improved to the
extent of about 100000 bushels
more than that produced last year.
With this addition to spring wheat
the total wheat crop, including WIN
ter wheat, now in prospect is 9l8,-
100000 bushels. That comes close
to the billion-bushel mark set by
the government last fall to meet the
war needs Of America and the allies.

Membership in New
Omaha Athletic Club
Being Fast Taken Up

As the new Athletic Club building
nears completion, the interest in
memberships continues to increase
until already nearly all of the GER
tihcates of membership are taken or
at least spoken for.
The work of the contractors is
practically complete, save for the
setting of the tile in the swimming
pool and shower baths, and a few
odd jobs of finishing, and it is
thought that the Orchard & Wilhelm
company, who have charge of the
decoration and furniture fittings, will
be ready to begin work during the
early part of next week. 1t is esti-
mated that it will take about three
weeks to complete the decoration SO
that the club will be ready to open
for the seasons activities about the
lst to the 18th of November.
The management is urgent in its
appeal to those desiring to procure
memberships, that they do not put
off making application until it is too
late, for from present indications
the certificates of membership will
be exhausted long before the de-
mand is satisfied.

TEUT0NS ROUTED
ON EVERY SECTOR

in its initial stage, has thrown the
enemy back from highly priced
tactical positions to depth of from
two to five miles. Numerous towns
have been captured and seemingly
all the great defensive positions OF
the enemy in this region have been
obliterated. Large numbers of pris-
oners have been added to the al
ready great throngs captured since
the allied offensive began. In add
ton terrible casualties were inflicted
on the enemy by the heavy artillery
fire at the beginning of the attack,
which began early Tuesday morning
and the machine gun and rifle fire
of the attacking forces against the
enemy who resisted stubbornly at
various points.
The American troops fighting
alongside the British, always were
in the van and when night fell their
positions were where the points of
penetration of the German line were
greatest. At last accounts, hard
fighting was still in progress, with
the enemy steadily giving ground.
On the southern part of the bat
tie front, from the Rheims sector to
the Meuse river, the French and
Americans are carrying out success
fully their converging movement
nothward and on all sectors have
gained additional ground.
Northwest of Berry-au-Bac the
French have driven their line to the
junction of the Aisne and Suippe
rivers, placing the German front
around Laon and eastward in greater
jeopardy. In Champagne, General
Gouraud's forces have increased
their gains all the way eastward to
the region of the Argonne forset,
while on the eastern side of the
forest the Americans have improved
their battle front along the Aire
valley.
In Macedonia, the Italians and
Serbs are still forcing the enemy
troops to retire in Albania and in
Serbia, while in Palestine the Brit
ish have driven the Turks more than
80 miles north of Damascus. Re-
ports are to the effect that the Turk
ish cabinet has resigned and that
the Turks have sent delegates to
Greece to talk peace.

movement. So, it would appear that
the general idea is to smash down
the Hindenburg system completely
on a broad front, enabling opera
tons to be carried out to the east
of it.
The first phase of the attack be-
gan about 2 o'clock in the morning
when the infantry with the assist
ance of an intense barrage, stormed
the high ground Immediately south
Of Cambria, where the Cambrai-Pe-
rome railway runs along. Special
attention was given to other high
ground in the southern outskirts of
Cambria, as the town is known to
be strongly occupied by the enemy.

Already British forces north of

bluntly demand an unconditional
surrender now because the American
government did not propose to fall
into the trap of supplying the Ger
man militarists with means of boil
stering UP their argument that the
Germans are fighting defensive"
war and that the announced OBJ
jects of the allies are ony to de
stroy" them.
That is precisely what President
Wilson has avoided. He has met
what the allied diplomats regard as
a trick with a move which will ex-
pose it, if a trick it be. He has
called upon the German government
for evidence, of its good faith and
should it not be forthcoming he has
left with the German leaders the
problem of explaining to their own
people, already clamoring for peace,
why they are not willing to accept
it.
From that point, the president
passes to another which will de-
velop, as the exchange proceeds,
whether the United States and the
allies will deal except on the battle
field with the German government as
at present constituted. The president
tells the chancellor that he feels he
is justified in asking whether the
imperial chancellor is speaking
merely for the constituted authori-
ties of the empire who have so far
conducted the war" This will de-
velop whether Macmillan speaks
for the German militarists whom
the president has denounced as un-
worthy of any trust and who re-
garded treaties as scrap of paper"
or whether he speaks with the
force Of the people of nation. This
is regarded as probably the most
important part of the presidents
communication, fraught with potent
possibilities of the most far-reach-
ing effect in Germany, where an &C
tive allied propaganda has been max
ing rapid Roadway in awakening the
German people to the necessity of
assuming the responsibilities of their
own government and making their
own peace.
1t is regarded as possible, if not
indeed likely, that the German mil
itarist leaders hoped for curt and
defiant answer with which they
could rally their people to give their
last drop of blood "for the protec-
ton OF the fatherland" and with
other rolling phrases in which the
German official announcements
abound.
The unanimous opinion among
diplomats, is that the president by a
carefully studied, most skillful re-
ply has robbed them of that oppor-
tunity if they desired it and has
sent to the German people them
selves new message that the United
States and the allies desire nothing
more than a reign of law, based
upon the consent of the governed
and sustained by the organized
opinion of mankind"
An armistice while the invaders
remain on violated soil is already
rejected. Germany now must state
whether she accepts " a reign of law
based on the consent of the gov
erned' or whether she wants to
negotiate about one; she must say
whether the appeal for peace comes
from the beaten militarists who
began the war for world domination
or from a war-ridden people ready
to make a peace lasting.
A reading of the IA points of the
presidents speech before congress
on January 8, 1918, makes clear the
terms on which peace can be made.
