States treasury and Is spent for
identically the same pur2ose-to help
win the war.
The impression is current that the
stamps are for children only. That
il far from the contemplation OF the
government. They are for every
adult and every adult is morally
obligated to buy them. The govern
ment expects to sell $4,000, 900 900
worth of stamps-as much as the
first Liberty loan. No one thought
that children should be the only
ones to subs cribe to that issue.

Red Cross Workers Needed.

The Red Cross shop is in very great
need Of all its regular workers. At
tendance has diminished greatly dur
ing the last few weeks, owing to this
being the busy season for housekeep-
ers. 1t is not possible to believe
that the women's enthusiasm has
failed at this time Of all times, when
the war is being won or lost on the
western front, and every individual
among the allied nations is being
called upon for aid. The present
emergency order at the Red Cross
shop is about four times the ordinary
output, and the number of workers
! has diminished by almost one-half.
Keokuk women have never yet failed
when there is need, let them realize
now that, for the next three weeks,
the Keokuk chapter needs all It's

Two more junior Red Cross units

they had qualified some time ago,
and it should have been the fourth
room of Carey school instead of the

HEADQUARTERS UNITS
HAD ITO HUSTLE
In Order to Keep Up with the American
Troops Following the Germans in
the Marine Battle.

With the American Army in France,
Sept II Correspondence of the Associat
cd Press The headquarters units of
the American army in the Marine sector
had to hustle to keep up with the Amer
1can troops in the fighting when the Ger
mans were hurled out of that salient and
across the Vesle river.
In keeping contact with the enemy the
American headquarters moved from one
shell-torn village to another In most
instances, the buildings or parts of build
ings, had been occupied by German Off
GERS only day or two before.
Previous to moving from one town to
another telephone wires had been strung,
or laid so that, while the divisional off
GERS were in the actual process of NOV
ing, the two headquarters in the two viii
lagos were in communication with each
other until the task was completed
After the telephone. and possibly tele-
graph instruments, had been installed
the commanding officer would 90 forward
TO the advanced station with few as
sistants and then others would follow in
relays, each department bringing its
books and papers, maps and other aces
series of its particular branch Trans
portaton was by automobile and was
only minor incident of the moving. In
one instance the entire transfer of di-
Visional headquarters was accomplished
in less than three hours, the telephone
connection having been accomplished the
day previous,

BRITISH NEWSPAPERS
SCORN ''PEACE" OFFER
Declare 1t Is Only an Effort on Ger
many's Part to Gain Time in Which
to Reorganize Her Shat
tered Forces.

London, Sept. TO- Austria's invitation
to the belligerents to meet in informal
peace discussions is given a warm recep-
ton by the London morning newspapers.
The warmth, however. lis not that of cor
diality, but of indignant reputation.
The note is seen by commentators as a
German trick in which Austria is made
the eatspaw in an effort to gain time to
enable the German high command to re-
organize its shattered troops. The Of
fer of peace TO Belgium is regarded as a
shameless insult
The Austrian note does not bring real
peace any nearer" says The Express.
Preliminary conditions to peace have
been stated over and over again by the
allies and there is not the faintest sug
gestion that the central powers will
agree to any one of these conditions
Our peace terms have been made per-
fectly clear says The Post when
Germany and her dependents are ready
to accept them they can let us know.
There win be no abatement to them.
Germany must be beaten, and must rec
ognize she is beaten"
The paeifist Daily News is the sole ex-
ception to the prevalent tone of com
ment. The paper argues that discus
sions must occur sooner or later, and
says;
There is no solid ground upon which
statesmen sincerely jealous for peace can
justify the rejection Of the Austrian pro-
posals, Discussion would not involve an
armistice. There would be no question
of the allies compromising their funda-
mental principles Against the more
than remote prospect that discussions
might leave Germany obdurate, they
might have very different result in the
case Of Turkey, Bulgaria and even Aus
tria. The allies, with an unassailable
moral case, have everything to gain and
nothing TO lose by discussion
The German emperor is ventrilo-
quist whose voice we may hear in this
Austrian telegram, says The Mail, "and
we hear it because the military masters
under whom Germany is bleeding are
afraid. 1t is not humanity which they
have in view, but the safety of their own
skins. This German trick has been dis
posed of in advance by President Will
sons mastery addresses
As to the offer to Belgium, The Mail
says it is insulting and only "offers Bel
gians one more scrap of paper"
THE note is absurd on the very face of
it, says The Telegram. 1T is disingen-
uous. cynical and insincere, while the
to Belgium is both insineere and
Germany, as a power, is not
to be trusted. Her most solemn com
pacts are falsified by her actions. We
must find repentant and contrite Ger
many, and German policy carried out by
very different rulers before we can even
hope to discuss peace
