Agrees That Conditions for Armis.ics

Advisers.

London.-The German reply to Pres
ident Wilson's note. the text of which
was received here by wireless says
Germany hopes The United States will
approve Of on demand which would 5e
irreconcilsble with the honor OF ths
German people, and with the opening
Of the way to peace Of justice.
Germany protests against the ref
erences OF President Wilson to Illegal
and inhuman acts Denial is made
that the German Navy purposely de-
gtroyed ifeboats with passengers. The
government proposes that the facts be
cleared up by neutral commissions.
Germany has dispatched orders to
submarine commanders precluding the
tcrpedoing Of passenger ships
The German government suggests to
President Wilson that an opportunity
be brought about for fixing the details
of the evacuation of occupied territory
Announcement is made of a funda-
mental change in the German consti-
tuition providing for representation Of
the people in the decisions concerning
peace and war. and it is said the pres

Germany claims the sanction of in

struction Of property during retreats
and says her troops are under strict
instructions to spafe private property
and care for the population to the best
Of their ability. Where transgressions
occur the note says. the guilty are be-
ing punished.
Washington-It is believed here
that the German middle classes have
resolved to have peace at any price,
and if necessary are prepared to get
rid Of the Emperor, The crown prince
and all military control.
Thus the belief is strengthened that
the present note and those that have
gone before are genuine efforts to OBJ
tain peace. and are inconclusive mere
ly because the Germans conducting
the exchange are seeking to bargain .

ditional surrender they are prepared
to give if pushed to the wall 1t is

FOOD CONSERVATION

The way we children can help
Uncle Sam is to be very saving
with our food, and observe meat
less. wheatless and sugarless days,
eat less candy, drink water instead
of milk, and use less sugar in your
tea, chocolate or coffee. Eat small
quantities of the food that can be
sent to France to feed our soldiers
and allies. We can eat fish and
oysters instead of meat. rye or
corn bread instead Of wheat bread.
Save all canned goods. We can eat
more molasses and less sugar.
Be careful with your school
clothes and your school books.
When you are marking up your
books. drawing pictures in them,
tearing them do you ever stop to
think of the poor little boys or girls
that don't have the opportunity to
go to school They not only cant
go to school but many are starving.
And when you go around the rail
road stations the little boys and
girls no larger than we, are carry
ing large loads of baggage. Their
poor little faces show the lack Of
good and nourishing food. But
maybe some day the war will end
and their hard labor will end. We
children of America have plenty
and do not know what it is to want.

THE BOYS AT CAMP
SHERMAN OHIO

AS sit by the fire l think of my
cousin in his tent. There are
twelve boys to a tent. 1t is warm
in the tents. They are getting
training quick, They are getting
used to different parts of the Unit
ed States.
At night the boys have the Y. NJ.
c. A. to 60 to. They go to the writ.
ing desk and write home to theiN
mothers.
The boys at Camp Sherman have
a program for the week. They have
boxing matches by boys who were
boxers before they joined.
They have three picture shows a
week, and they enjoy these very
much. They are glad to have some
thing to amuse them.
They save everything they can.
so you and | and the nation should
save the food.-Bernard Kolne, 7B

THE OLD MISS MALINDA

There was once an old maid
whose name was Miss Malinda,
She was very saucy. After while
she changed and she was as nice
as any other woman, She had
monkey whose name was Pedro.
He was very naughty to his mis-
tress.
One day the old maid went out
to the park to breathe little fresh
air. She was always afraid that
her monkey would do some damage
to the house. AS she went out and
got about six squares from the
house, Pedro. the monkey, ran
right III front of her. She fell right
over him and when she got up she
was all muddy. Now just think she
had to walk back six squares with
those muddy clothes on. Her
spectacles were covered with mud.
How could she see. She was almost
blind. AS she went home she fell
in puddle of water and then that
washed her spectacles off. Then
just think of her wet clothes she
had to walk five more squares.
When she reached home she
couldn't find the door key. 1t just
happened that she had the key in
her old fashioned hat. That was
the style for old maids. In the
house she got her nice whip and
gave Pedro a good whipping. Then
she lost her temper again and faint
ed. There was nobody there so she
died of losing her temper.-Leota

HELP WIN THE WAR

We would like to ask the advice
Of American housewives on matters
pertaining to the welfare Of Bel
GUM and France. There thous.
ands Of children are starving from
just our own carelessness We
would like a majority vote on Or
ganizing a group OF relief workers
to collect relief funds for those
people. What could we do to
make people realize their terrible
position? II we could only con-
ceive some plan to make people
open their eyes to the horrors OF
war I'm sure we could collect more
funds for those poor starving
people.
Talk to your .neighbOrs, talk Of
such things in society, do some
thing so that it may soften the
hearts Of the people and make
them get out their pocketbooks

BUY LIBERTY BOND

Did you buy a Liberty Bond?''
II you have not you still have a
chance because the president said
that the war would cost thirty bill
ion dollars and we have only raised
six or seven billion.
If we don't win the war what
good will your money do you? So
why don't you buy a Liberty Bond
and help win the war? Your money
will not do you any good when it
is in your pocket and if you buy
Liberty Bond you will get four
percent interest. So why not do
your bit and buy Liberty Bond.
If you can't fight, let your money
fight.
Buy a Liberty Bond they are for
sale at any bank.-Howard Mills

THE LITTLE ORPHAN

Once upon a time there was a
little girl whose name was June.
She WIS very poor for her father
was dead. Her mother had very,
hard time Che was obliged to work
all day.
One day the mother died SO
June was left an orphan. She tried
hard to get a position but she was
too small
One day she had no food and mo
place to sleep SO she had too 60 to
the forest. In the middle Of thu
night she heard a noise among the
leaves. She was very frightened
for she thought that it might be q
bear. She crept into the hollow
of a tree until the bear had gone
by.
The next day she went out of the
forest. June was very hungry SO
she went up to a house and asked
for food. The lady took her in and
gave her a chair and something to
eat. June told the woman that her
father and mother were dead.
This was kind lady SO she told
June to stay there all day but
when her husband came home he
would not let June stay. But he
repented and SO they adopted her
the next day.-Garnet DUNCAN,

MIGIE

Two doors from me there is dog
that would look like Jack rabbit
if he had his tail cut off. His name
is Migie. Migie likes to play with
the school children. Every time he
sees me coming. he grabs my dress
and sweater belt and pulls as hard
as he can. Every night he plays

you are playing ball he runs and
gets the ball for the catcher.-Ella

OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM

The Star SpangIed Banner is the
national anthem. It is SO destgnat-
ed by the regulations uf our army
and navy, which prescribe its Oh
servance by members Of the serv-
ice. The American people as .
whole do not know what TO do and
how to do when the anthem x be-
ing played 1t is customary TO
stand and since the declaration Of
war it is dangerous for an fndivid-
ual to remain In his seat while 70
is being played The majority at
those who stand do that and moth
ing more unless they try to sing tine
words.
1t has been said that very few
people know the words and that the
composition is a difficult one.
Today the national anthem Is q
prayer or hope and faith and rem
dition should be heard with rever-
ence. At the thaater when the OF
chestra is playing 'The Star Spanar
led Banner" it is no time to read
the program, for the seating Of peo>
pie, for the arrangement of wraps,
etc Look at the soldier or sailor
He is standing at attention with hiS

more becoming If every individual
in the audience would stand rs neGr

singing as some say we should, a.

nothing more impressive than an
American audience standing IN

DON'T WASTE

When you cook dinner use what
is left over for supper. When you
use sugar use very little and be-
sides think how our soldiers need
sugar more than we. Don't make
candy unless you make it with mo-
lasses. Only buy five cents worth
of candy a week. \ think we can

don't use much meat and wheat.
