LONDON. Thursday, October 24.-It
is understood that President Wilson's
latest note to Germany is approved
by the allies and represents. in 4
general sense. their views Of the sit

there is no question that individual

Satisfaction Expressed.
+ The text Of President Wilson's re-
ply to Germany. which reached Len
don in the early hours this morning,
is given great prominence in the
evening newspapers, which quote with
satisfaction his decision to refer the
question of an armistice to the allies
and his insistence that the only
armistice must be one which will
make a renewal of hostilities on the
part of Germany impossible.
The Globe, which would have pre-
ferred II the President had declined
to make any reply. SAYS: however
that his note "is quite uncompromis-
ing and all together admirable"
The Westminster Gazette says:
whether the German government
accepts this proposition for an armi-
stice will depend on its estimate OF
its military and internal situation and
upon nothing else. All democratic
nations will be grateful to the Presi-
dent for having forcibily projected
the issue between. free people and
military despotism into the fore
ground at this stage of the war
But let it be said again that the
choice rests with the German people
1t is for them. and not for u.s. to say
how they shall be ruled. All that we
can say is that according as they
, choose SO we must act. And that is
the Presidents last word. We can
negotiate with a free people, but we
must demand surrender from a mill
tary autocracy."
The Pal Mall Gazette says that any
fear that the Presidents deliberate
methods of dealing with the German
;the allies demands and the fore1oine
of their complete victory will be ban.

have no thought of suggesting
that any political party is paramount
in matters of patriotism. I feel too
keenly the sacrifices which have
been made in this war by all our
citizens, irrespective of party affil-
iations, to harbor such an idea.
mean only that the difficulties and
delicacies of our present task are Of
sort that makes it imperatively
necessary that the nation should
give its undivided support to the
government under a unified leader
ship, and that a republican Con-
gress would divide the leadership.
The leaders Of the minority in
the present Congress have unQues-,
tionably been pro-war. but. they
have been anti-admi ministration. At
almost every turn. since we entered
the war they have sought to take
the choice of policy and the con-
duct of the war out of my hands
and put it under the control Of
instrumentalities of their own
choosing. This is no time either for
divided counsel or for divided lead
ership. Unity of command is as
necessary now in civil action as it
is upon the field of battle. If the
control of the House and Senate
should be taken away from the
party now in power. an opposing
majority could assume control Of
legislation and oblige all action to
he taken amidst contest and OBJ
struction.

OVERSEE NATIONS
MOVE IS AWAITED
Speculation Also Keen Here
as to What May TranspEe
in Germany.
VIEW or ARMIsTIcE TERMS

On the theory that at is their next
move" interest in diplomatic and OIL
cial circles today was centered upon
events occurring in the nations over
seas, following receipt by all the for
eign governments of. President Will
sons answer to the German request for
an armistice.
By this time the text Of the note has
been published in all Europe, certainly
outside of Germany, and, according to
reports, has been made public in that
country as well.
2 Speculation is keen, of course. as
to what may happen in Germany
what the German people may DO
toward meeting the requirements laid
down by President Wilson for the
obtaining Of peace.

their house in order for dealing with
civilization on the final terms OF
neace? is. the question most frequentS
lv heard. Or will the present German
government forestall possible internal
disturbance by yielding unconditional
surrender? Or will the present Ger
man government determine to brazen
out the situation, appeal to the peo"
n1e to stand by the throne and carry
on with military plans for defense
of the fatherland?
Wide Field for Discussion.
All these questions offered a wide
field for discussion today.
There was equal interest in conjectur-
ing what terms the entente allies may
Law down as prerequisites to an armls-
tice and, indeed. there was more imne-
date concern over this proposition than
over hypothetical questions OF Germany's
course. The next chapter in the great
international drama is more likely to be
written by the interallied supreme war
council in deciding the terms OF armis-
tfce than in any other way, It was
thought in official circles here:
President Wilson is member OF the
allies supreme war council, Whlcn meetS
ir that body by Col. E. M. House, whose
arrival in France is announced by the
cables. It is assumed that he is on his
xUav to ioin the war council and TO pc
the personal spokesman. in Its dehoera-
tions, of President Wilson. When ne
left Washington, after spenoing seseIai
days at the White House. it was taken
for granted that he was thoroughly ap.
nrised of the Presidents views on all
phases of the situation, as the German
acceptance Of the fourteen terms had
been announced.

PIONEER WOMAN DEAD.
Mrs. Mary M. Weatherly, Aged 80,
Dies Near Bangor.

ODeS wear Bangor.
Mrs. Mary M. Weatherly, better
known as Aunt Polly" in Bangor and
Liscomb, where she had lived for so
many years, died at the home of her
son, Sherman Weatherly, near Bangor,
at 7 this morning. Death was due to
the effects of an injury, aggravated by
a recent recurrent attack of gall stones.
Mrs. Weatherly, whose home has been
in Liscomb, went a month ago to visit
at her sons home. Three weeks ago
she fell and fractured her right hip.
The injury never healed and an attack
of a chronic gall stone trouble so weak
ened her that the end was fastened.
Mrs. Weatherly had been subject to
similar attacks for two years.
MIS-. Weatherly was one of the real
pioneer women of the county, where
she had lived for more than sixty five
years Since 1854 she had been a resi-
dent CT Marietta and Bangor townships
and Llscomb successfully.
Mrs. Weatherly's maiden name was
Mary NJ. F'ulk. She was born in Oil
yer county, Indiana, Dec. 10, 1929, and
in 1850. In 1854 Mr.. and Mrs. Weather
ly came to Iowa and settled in Marietta
| township. Later they moved TO a farm
near Bangor. where they lived until
they moved to Liscomb in 1904. Mr..
Weatherly died there Sept. %, 1906.
Mr.. and Mrs. Weatherly were the
parents of nine children, of whom six
are living. A son William and daugh-
ter Sarah died when they were young,
and another daughter, Mrs. Eliza J.
Mishler, died Dec. 81, 1917. The sur
viving children are James, Des Moines;
