Washington, Oct. 13.-The epidem-
lie of influenza has subsidized some
what in eastern states, but continues
to spread in the middle and far west.
On the basis of meager reports re-
ceived today officials of the public
health bureau were optimistic that
the stringent measures taken, such
as closing schools churches, thea
ters and forbidding public gather
ings generally had begun to show a
beneficial effect.
Health authorities of California to-
day reported the malady to be
spreading in that state. From Utah
came similar report. while num-
bers of new cases were reported in
Arkansas. Iowa, Louisiana, Missis-
sippi, Minnesota, New Mexico and
South Dakota, Information that the
disease was abating came from Mas

must be unconditional surrender"
New York Timcs:-Surrender, not
an armjstice, must be the condition
precedent to any talk about peace.
y No peace can be made with
the Hohenzollerns
Providence Or ~ Journal:-The
answer to- any proposal for an arm

manders, sword in hand. Germany,
retreating to her own borders on the
western front accepts a proposition

territory, there to wage the war in any
way she sees fit.
Portland (Maine) Press:-Prince

straw in the whirlpool of despair.
Washington Post:-The mere fact

peace does not justify anyone in pre-
Stunning that President Wilson must

| There may be a thousand reasons why

Minneapolis Tribune: We note a
widespread and most intense feeling
that nothing should be allowed to in

tional surrender and we do not eX-

st. Paul Pioneer Press: Whether

Especial Gable Dispatch)
On the British Front, Oct. 9.-The
second week of October, with several
weeks of fighting still possible if the
weather gods continue to favor the
allies, finds the enemy tired and
weakened. There are hardly more
than eighty German divisions along
the entire western front to withstand
the Allies. In June there was more
than 200 divisions.
OF those now in service many are
far below normal strength. Since the
British attack in this district began

sions have been thrown into the de-

a considerable proportion has been

gagged In the last nine months the
equivalent of more than twenty Ger
man divisions have been disbanded
owing to losses and lowered morale.

II is the fashion nowadays to speak
Of a youth of eighteen as If he were u

II he We're yet growing. The ancients
had no such ideas, and il has taken
the lack of seriousness of the past
three or four generations TO spread
them as they are. ] often remember
with pleasure reference of Guy Pa

Of the seventeenth century-to a NJ

contrasting this mans years with his
high position. William Pitt was not
supposed either. to be crude youth
and the French revolutionlsts-mos

thirty-hve-were never taxed with
immaturity.
We think Of all men who are not
elderly as If they were young men,
liable to the mistakes Of young men,
and this not infrequently leads them
to act as If they really were very
young men. But most lads OF seven
teen are clear about their ethical code.

that the possibility of foregoing the

pleasant to them than to most of their
