Ottoman Bid For Peace
at Last Reaches Capital

Washington. Oct. Ib.-Turkey's
long delayed note asking. like Ger
many and Austria that President
Wilson take In hand the restoration
of peace. was received yesterday at
tho State Department.
The note, differing only slightly In
phrsseology from those of the great
er Central Powers. was delivered by
the Spanish Ambassador. Its failure
to appear last week. coupled with
the knowledge that the pro-German
government at Constantinople virtu-
ally had collapsed, had given rise to
the belief that 1t would not come.
and. instead, the Turks would make
different sort of appeal. probably
offering unconditional surrender.
The communication. as it reached
the State Department. is unsigned.
1t was transmitted by Ambassador
Riano as the text of a Sommunica-
ton received by the Minister of For
eign Affairs to Spain from the
Charge d'Affaires of Turkey in Mad
rid on October 12." Ambassador
Riano said it reached him late Sun
day evening.

BUY 4 HOME CAMPAIGN TO
PRESENT NEW OPPORTUNITIES
Increasing Scarcity Of Homes LeaUe One Solution to Per
plering Problem For Many va Renter

Real estate dealers of the city
will probably complete plans on
Monday night for the buy y-a-home"
campaign which is to be conducted
during the next few months in Har-
risburg. The monthly meeting. of
the Harrisburg Real Estate Board
will be held at that time and it
is believed practically every mem
Der will be present. The session
will be held in the Chamber of Com
merce rooms.
Because of the increasing scar
city of houses for rent, and the high
wages being paid by the industrial
plants in the city and vicinity, realty
men declare residents of Harris
burg have one of the best oppor-
tunities in years to own their own
homes. Many beautiful residences
with improvements and in conven-
lent locations can be bought at rea-
sonable prices it is said. Building
experts in the city, in speaking of the
situation, claim it would be impos-
sible to build any of the homes for
the prices which are paid for them.
Many Advantages
In addition to the many advan-
tages which result from owning a
home the dealers predict increased
interest in city developments and
