THE PRESIDENTS REPLY
From the secretary of state to
the charge d'affaires of Switzer-

the charge d'affaires of Switzer-
land:
department of State,
Oct. 8, 1918.
"Sir: | have the honor to
acknowledge, on behalf of the
president, your note of Oct. 6,
inclosing the communication
from the German government to
the president; and | am in
structed by the president to re-
quest you to make the following
communication to the imperial
German chancellor:
"Before making reply to the
request of the imperial German
government, and in order that
that reply shall be candid and
straightforward as the moment
Gus interests involved require,
the president of the United
States deems it necessary to as
sure himself Of the exact meaning
of the note of the imperial chan
celior. Does the imperial chan
celIor mean that the imperial
German government accepts the
terms laid down by the president
in his address to the congress Of
the United States on the 9Th
of January last and in subse-
quent addresses, and that it's OBJ
ject in entering into discussions
would be only to agree upon the
practical details of their applica-
ton?
"The president feels bound to
say with regard to the sugges-
tion of an armistice that he
would not feel at liberty to pro-
pose a cessation of arms to the
governments with which the gov
eminent of the United States is
associated against the central
powers, so long as the armies Of
those powers ere upon their soil.
The good faith of any discussion
would manifestIy depend upon
the consent of the central pow
ers Immediately to withdraw
their forces everywhere from in
vaded territory.
"The president also feels that
he is justified in asking whether
the imperial chancellor is speak.
ing merely for the constituted
authorities Of the empire who
have so far conducted the war.
He deems the answer to these
questions vital from every point
Of view.
Accept, sir, the renewed as
surances Of my high considera-
ton. Robert Lansing.
"Mr. Frederick Oederlin, charge
d'affaires Of Switzerland, ad
interim in charge OF German
interests in the United States"

PEACE SQUARELY
UP To GERMANY
NO ARMIsTIcE WHILE FORCES
ARE ON FOREIGN SOIL
THE WAR IS TO GO RIGHT ON
President Wilson Demands to Know
II Peace Notes Speak for the
War Lords or the People.
Answer Must Be Straight.
(By Carl d. Groat)


Washington, Oct. 9.-Peace is up to
Germany more squarely than ever be-
fore, as result of President Wilson'S
query TO Prince MAX, testing the leu
IONS sincerity.
Official Washington took this view
had slipped away the mask, thereby
robbing Germany of the chance to
stir her people with the threadbare
statement, Our enemy is obdurate
and seeks only to crush us"
Persons close to President Wilson
called his maneuver adroit by placing
the burden for the continuation of
the war upon Germany.
Some Dissatisfaction Shown
On the other hand many men at
the Capitol, including Republican
Leader Senator Lodge, complained
that their explanations have not as
yet been met.
The first reaction in general here
was that of the disappointment that
President Wilson had asked questions
of Germany instead of making fiat
footed statement "of an unconditional
surrender"
Views Change over Night.
But overnight consideration of his
message turned many mems views
and the men included among those
who had first complained took the
stand of the administration, believing
that Germany now must either make
peace on strictly American terms or
find herself in difficult position be-
fore her own people and the world.
As to Alsace-Lorraine.
1t became known today that Presi-
dent wilson's declarations for the
evacuation of occupied territory be-
fore the armistice did not contain
the evacuation of. Alsace.
Instead it merely meant the evaCu-
alton of invaded territory and the in
tentions as shown by the Presidents
fourteen points meant the 'righting"
of wrong done to France to be de-
termined in peace conferences.
A Decidedly Stiff Jolt.
The feeling on a whole was that
President Wilson has shown no signs
of weakness, but on the contrary he
has given Germany a decided stiff
Jolt by demanding the complete with
drawal of troops from occupied terri
tory, before any peace could be con-
sidered.
No Thought of Armistice.
Declining to propose an armistice
while the armies of the central pow
ers remain on invaded soil, the presi-
dent called on the German chancel-
Ior to state, as an absolutely neces-
sary preliminary to a reply from the
entente allies and the United States,
whether Germany accepts the princi-
ples of peace as repeatedly laid down
or merely proposes to accept them
las the basis Of negotiations" and
whether the chaticellor merely speaks
for the German military masters con-
ducting the war or the whole German
people.

dents diplomacy is disclosed, it be-
comes evident that he has left open

ISSUES DAILY WHILE
KEPT IN QUARANTINE

That any one who has worn the
uniform of Uncle Sam would be un-
patriotic enough to catch German
measles is almost unbelievable, but
this impeachment is made against
Leith Abbott. former city editor OF
the Tidings and now a student of the
University of Oregon, according to
the Eugene Morning Register, which
says:
Getting the best Of old Father
Time is a difficult proposition some
times, and especially is it hard when
one is cooped up in small room,
quarantined with the measles, and
German ones at that.
"Leith Abbott, a freshman at the
university and a reporter on the
Morning Register, and Harold Grey,
a sophomore, have been thrown to-
gether under quarantine in a room
at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity
house.
Each morning Abbott, editor, and
Grey, his reporter, issue miniature
newspaper, put out in regular style,
filled full of stories cleaned from
their observations from the windows,
thoughts at random, and editorials.
Extras are issued whenever the ed
itor thinks it advisable. Fresh from
the typewriter, the editions are
tackled upon the outside of the door
for the perusal of fraternity broth
ers.
Yesterday, due to the fact that
Grey, his assistant, disloyally recov-
cred from the contagion and depart
ed from his cell, Editor Abbott was
left short-handed. Any persons who
wish to get on his staff may do so
by contracting the measles, he stated
yesterday"

slsting of about twenty machines,
was flying around over the town, car
rying lights so that they would not
lie hit by their own anti-aircraft guns
which kept up continuous fire. The
Boche machines were higher up and
carried no lights so that they could
not be seen, but they made up in
noise what they lacked in lights.
About every two minutes a bomb
went off, one of them about three
blocks from my hotel, and two blocks
from where | was at the time. Every
window for many blocks was smashed
from that bomb. The official report
is that 46 people were killed and 270
wounded, mostly women and chill
dren. Two French machines fell and
one German machine was shot down.
With the French machines darting
through the sky, firing their ma
chine guns, the hum of the Boche
machines, the boom of the anti-air-
craft guns and the whir and explo-
sion of the bombs, it was rather ex-
citing. The raid lasted for three
hours, during which time no one
seemed to crave sleep. 1t is the gen.
eral opinion that We will go through
them quite often now. Personally,
| could get along without them-they
disturb my sleep.

and the west side of the Rockies will

the man who said that if he ever got
back to, the States again, the God
dess of Liberty would have to turn
around if she wanted to see him
again. l think we will all appreciate
the States and our own people more
after we get back. Please remember
that the more news we have from
home over here, the easier it is to fol-
low the straight and narrow trail"

IDENTITY OF DEAD
MAY BE PUBLISHED

The American people very prob
ably will be informed of the identity
of their hero dead. At the cabinet
meeting last week President Wilson
took up with his advisers the ques-
tion of supplying, when casualty lists
are published, the home addresses of
soldiers killed or wounded in France,
and it is said the decision will be to
order addresses made known when
the names are given out.
Officials at the national capital,
both civilian and military, have not
been convinced that publication of
the addresses really aids the enemy,
as has been claimed While there is
the strongest desire to comply with
all requests of the allies, it is felt,
privately, that the French govern
ment was not fully informed of cir
cumstances when it asked that the
publication Of addresses with the
names be discontinued
1t is pointed out that there is a
real reason for suppression of the ad-
dresses in other countries that does
not exist in the United States, and it
is further argued that the present
lists containing merely the names do
not mean anything to the country at
large.

clerk of the Ashland school district,
said that ordinarily he had by this
time a desk full of applications from
parties desiring to teach in our public
schools but this year he had prac-
tically none. Similar conditions OBJ
tain in other cities of Oregon, and it
is very easy to see that If such is the
case in the city schools 1t must be no
easy task for the many hundreds of
rural districts to find competent
teachers for their schools. And one
of the great reasons for additional
normal schools in this state is in or.
der that we may be fair to the rural
schools. Where the teacher is super
intendent. principal, teacher of all
the different studies that come in sew
eral different grades, and then in ad-
dition to her school work proper
must be the leading spirit in lot Of
other community activities, it Is high
ly important that the teacher of that
rural school have something more
than a public school or even a high
school course.
These are days of intense patriot
ism. Every man, woman and child
