CALLS ON KAISER TO
TAKE UP HIS CROSS

Amsterdam, Oct. 2l.-(Monday)
I'VE are alone. When a fortress
can no longer hold it is no dishonor
il the commander surrenders. The
kaiser must take up his cross of
concluding quickly necessary peace
and accepting whatever is hard. Let
the kaiser declare himself ready and
let him fit himself with new Ger
many as her first citizen"
This utterance by MaXimiian
Harden, addressed to several hun
dred people in Berlin on Sunday was
loudly applauded.
Herr Harden. whose plain-spoken
language in Die Zukunft OF which
he is editor, has caused a suspen-
sion of that journal on several oc-
easions, was permitted, according to
the reports of his address, to speak
freely and without nindrace. His re-
markable declaration regarding sur
render and the "kaiser's cross fol-
lowed a review of the situation in
which he pointed out that Bulgaria
was occupied, Turkeys fate was
sealed and Austira- Hungary was out
Of the fight.
The meeting ended in riotous de-
monstration.
1T is one OF the most cruel ironies
that this war, which was begun to
maintain an impossible Austria,
should be ended by the declaration
of that selfsame Austria that it can
not exist" continued Herr Harden.
I'VE must shoulder the conse-
quences of the step taken Oct. D..

THEM FROM GUNS OF
u. S. AND ALLIES.

Basel, Switzerland, Oct. p. (Hav-
aS)-Cardinal Hartmann, archbish-
op OF Cologne has iSsued a pastoral
letter in which he says dark hours
have come for Germany. The coun-
try is threatened by an enemy su-
perior in numbers and shaken to
the foundations of the state by in
ternal conditions, he declares, and
calls upon his people to offer public
prayers.
Deep discomfort is spreading ev-
erywhere among the German people,
the cardinal writes, and invites all
Catholics to rally around the en-
peror.
In all protestant churches of Prus-
sia, public prayers have been OF
fered for the protection OF Germany
from the misfortunes which threaten
her.

Amsterdam, Oct. d. (Brit-

man provincial and Socialist
newspapers contineu their
campaign against the "chief
culprits" responsible for the
war. The Frankische Tages-

paper in Germany to demand
the abdication Of the
declares that the ac-
cession of the crown prince is
entirely out Of the question.
"The German people are
searching for the guilty" says
the Volks Zeitung, the organ
Of the Nuremburg Socialists.
The pan-Germans and junk
ers are silent today, but we do
not forget that they are the
great war meters in Germany,
hat they retain the support of
social and political reaction
and that they are a menace TO
the future healthy develop
ment of German empire. The
pan-German policy has gone
bankrupt, but, unfortunately,
it has led the German people
to disaster.

prits" without mercy, adding:
"When the German soldiers
return home from the trenches

while the German government ap-
parently has accepted all the require
ments laid down by President VII
son, he does not believe the reply
would lead to an immediate arms
tice.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,,
the Republican leader, and other
Senators, reserved comment until
the official text of the reply is re-
ceived.
THE note appears said Senator
Hitchcock. "to be an acceptance OF

the military authorities will proba-

Germany will hesitate to accept

Meanwhile, the war will go on.
"As far as the change in the Ger

Fort Smith, Ark. Oct. 22.--Ex-
plosion of an ammonia tank in the
four-story building of the Ft. Smith
Commission Company at ? O'Clock
today, resulted in collapse of every
floor. 1t is thought several employees
trapped in the building, have per-
ished. Several men and women
jumped from the windows and were
removed injured to hospitals.
There is carload stock OF pow
der on the third floor of the Echols
building and a terrific explosion is
feared.
The fire is spreading to an ad-
Joining wholesale house and those
across the street. AS explosives are
contained in several hardware
houses. the danger is increasing and
the police have driven spectators
from the vicinity.
Ten or twelve employees OF the
commission company have been re-
moved to hospitals suffering from
burns and broken limbs.
The property damage will exceed
100000.
1t is now believed that several
employees lost their lives. The fire

boats, cutting them in two, sank
the raft and then disappeared.
London. Oct. 22.-Not one OF
several hundred houses in Douai
inspected by the correspondent
OF the Daily Mail at British

tents.
The south and east sides of

were thrown about in confusion.

London, Oct. 22-With ref
erence to the paragraph in the
German note denying that the
Germany navy in sinking ships
ever purposely destroyed life
boats with their passengers, it is
pointed out in government cir
cleS that many cases could be
quoted in reply to this denial.
Two recent cases are the Liam

The Llandovery Castle was
torpedoed and sunk of the Irish
coast on the night OF June p.

LODGE DENOUNCES

TALK OF HONOR AND JUS
T1CE FRO GERMANY is
REPULSIVE.

Washington, Oct. Ex-senator
Lodge, of Massachusetts. republican
leader, in statement today, branded
Germany's latest note as a clumsy
trap, aWkWardly set, to involve us
in diplomatic discussion,' and said
If it is answered at all, it should
be with demands only Tor uncondi-
tional surrender.
1T seems to me unbelievable -
said the senator, that anyone
should be taken in by the last Ger
man note. 1t is vanished over with
a little false flattery, directed to the
president and the people of the
United States, which can deceive no
one. In other respects, it is a clum-
sy trap, awkwardly set, to involve us
in diplomatic discussions-of all
things to be avoided at this moment.
1t will not bear the slightest analy-
sis.
They desire to discuss details.
What they call details are the vital
issues of the war. 1t needs to be
given to their denial of illegal and
lnhumane actions. Only day or
two ago they took $4,000 women and
girls out of Lille when that city was
abandoned. Is that military act, in
accordance with international law !?
They wish to refer the destruction Of
our women and children on the
Lusitania to neutral commission.
The American people do not in
tend to have the decision of any
commission on such a question as
that. American people have not for
gotten the direction of the German
minister at Buenos Aires to sink
and leave no trace.
"Of reparation-and it must be a
very large-there is not a word.
"Of course all they say about
changing their government is pure
camouflage. There has been no
election in Germany. 1t is the same
old reichstag governed by the same
forces and interests. They are mere
ly frightened and are trying to de-
deceive the American people; try
ing to gain by negotiation what they
have lost in the field. The presi-
dents reply to the Austrian note
was complete and universely ap-
proved. | do not think there should
be any reply to this German note,
but if there is, let it be simply that
we demand the same terms which
the allies forced upon Bulgaria-an
unconditional surrender. 'Uncondi-
tional surrender is easily said and
will be all the word.
There is something repulsive in
having the invaders of Belgium and
the makers of the villanous peace
which they forced on Russia and Ru-
mania talking about justice and
honor"

LAST CALL FOR WAR
SAVINGS PLEDGES

The last call to secure the balance
Of the States allotment in War Saw
ings will be in house-to-house can
vass to be made between November
27 and December 6. The State still
lacks $11,5O0,00O having pledged its
War Savings allotment.
At the meeting Of War Savings
workers to be held on Thanksgiving
Day, every township and ward will
be divided into sections and each sec.
ton will be assigned to a group OF
canvassers. Between Thanksgiving
Day and Friday, December 6, every
head of a family and other person
with an Independent income will be
asked to pledge his part OF the SILL
100000 deficit.
Another reason why the house-to
house canvass has been found to bt
necessary is that citizens may per
feet their War Savings records. l
has been found that thousands O.
families have bought stamps TO
which they would not get any credl
for the reason that no member o
the family has signed any pledge care
and thousands more have bought NOR
often many times more stamp
than their pledge cards cover. s.
in the Victory Drive of November q
December they will be given an or
nortunity to state correctly their Wal
Savings record up to date as well a
bring their record up to the pol11
needed to raise the balance OF u

People Asked to Redeem Pledges by
Christmas-War Savings Amount
Already Spent-Secretary McAdoo ,
Says Government Must Have Two
Billion Dollars From Sale of War
Savings Stamps.
Winston-Salem, Nov. 16.-As a.
means of bringing the War Savings
campaign for 1913 to a successful fin
lsh by December 81, State headquar-
ing War Savings pledges ide IS should be
redeemed by Christmas, if possible.
This request has been made that the
six days between December Is and
IL may be had to secure whatever
amount is needed after the pledges
have been redeemed, to complete the
States full allotment.
People who have pledged to buy
War Savings stamps by December 81
and who have not already done so are
urged to aid the campaign by pur-
chasing their stamps as soon as posi-
BILE and by making a determined effort
to buy them, at the latest by Christ
mas. Their attention has been called
to the fact that their War Savings
pledge is a solemn obligation to the
Government and that the Government
is expecting them to make good their
word even though an armistice has
been agreed upon and the war may
soon be at an end.
State headquarters is reminding the
people of the fact that the war is
virtually over does not relieve them
from redeeming their War Savings
pledges. On the other hand, the Gov
ernment took the word Of the people
as their bond and has spent the
amount for which they pledged. Nov
the Government is asking them tc
raise this amount not only to pay
the debt that has been incurred but
in appreciation of what has come tx

LABELS FOR
CHRISTMAS PACKAGES
Time of Mailing Extended to Nov. 80
and Red Cross Chapters May
Distribute Duplicate Labels.

Atlanta, Nov. 19-In order to in
sure the receipt of Christmas parcel
by every single man in the American
expedltlonary forces, the War De-
partment has extended the time of
mailing for overseas packages until
November Both, and has authorized
the American Red Cross to have print
ed sufficient additional Christmas la
bells exactly similar to those receiv-
ed from abroad to issue to those fam
lies who have not received the labels
which were distributed to the men
abroad. In many cases these labels
have been lost in transit and the new
ruling provides that the nearest rela-
tive Of each man in the A. E. F. may
obtain from the Red Cross chapter
duplicate label provided the original
has not arrived by November 21st.
Applicants for these duplicate la
bells should make a written statement
to the effect that he or she is the
nearest living relative in the United
States of the man to whom the pack
age is to be sent, that he or she has
not received a label from abroad, that
should such a label be received it
would not be used and that to the best
of his or her knowledge and belief
only one package will be sent to the
proposed recipient.
This extension of the time limit
and the issuing of duplicate labels
absolutely insures Christmas pack
age to every man in the service ir
Europe. The Southern Division is now
having these labels printed and they
will be distributed to chapters with
full instructions by November 21st.-
