WILSON replies
TO GERMAN Note
GERMANY'S ASSURANCES LEADS
PRESIDENT TO TAKE UP
QUESTION WITH ALLIES.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 24.-Pres-
tident Wilson's reply to the last Ger
man note was made public last night
and will be transmitted to Berlin
through the Swiss legation immedi-
ately.
President Wilson has informed the
German government that he has
transmitted it's correspondence to
him seeking an armistice and peace
to the Allies with the suggestion that
If these governments are disposed to
effect peace upon the terms and the
principles Indicated, their military
advisers and the military advisers of
the United States be asked to submit
the necessary terms of such an arm
istice as will fully protect the inter
ests of the peoples involved.
He says that should such terms of
armistice be suggested, acceptance by
Germany will afford the best con
crete evidence of her %unequivocal ac-
ceptance Of he terms and principles
of peace.
1t a y that having received the
solemn and ax1liclt assurance of the
German government that 1t I nreserv-
edly accepts thu terms Of peace and
principles enumerated he him and
that the desica to discuss the details
of the application emanated not from
those who hish9rtU1 diotate6 the
German policy, bnt fIUm ministers
who speak for the overwhelming ma
jority of the German people, and
having received explicit promise that
the humane rules of civilized war
fare will be observed by the German
armed forces, the President feels he
cannot decline to take up the ques-
ton of an armistice with the Allies,
The president says that significant
and important as the constitutional
changes seem to be which are spoken
of by the German foreign secretary
il does not appear that the principle
of a government responsible to the
German people has yet been fully OF
permanently worked out. He reit,
crates that the nations of the world
do not and cannot trust the word OF
those who have hitherto been the
masters of German policy and gives
warning that If the United States
must deal with the military masters
and the monarchial autocrats of Ger.

since / enlisted am sleeping in a real
house again. Of course some of the
boys have private rooms which a
friend of mine and 1 are going to
have If possible. If war isn't any
worse to me than it has been so lar
III sure be lucky. The town is a real
pretty place, fairly good sized and a
good number of inhabitants as of
course most had to move out at the
beginning of the war. I've seen
some of the greatest battleields
known in the history of this war at
least and of course towns near the
ines are dangerous. It's a wonder
anyone is living there at all.
I've gotten a lot OF views, some Of
nearly every place I've been in, so
will have some cole ton when I get
back Well mother how are Dad and
Harold? I hope fine. Am glad to
hear that things OF the farm are
looking fine. Suppose Dad is tick
led. l suppose he had some time the
4th as I know he usually does. Would
liked to been with him. How's the
bunch around town? Suppose very
scattering. Suppose you see Ada Of
ten and Abbie occasionally. Say, tell
Charlie Huntington 1 send my best
as I imagine you see him often.
So Bing has enlisted? Glad to hear
it. I've forgotten to drop Evelyn a
card or letter but will some day.

FROM HOBART DOLL HARRY SCHMIRS SAYS:
Norfolk. va. Aue o 1919

Dear Folks: 20
am now in the East. We left Chi
cago Aug. 6 and arrived in Norfolk.
Va, Aug. g..
We passed through Indiana, Ohio.
Kentucky, w. Virginia and Virginia.
The trip was very interesting all the
way. We rode in Pullman cars, ev-
erythlng first class. All along peo-
pie were very kind, treating us to
ice cream, candy, tobacco, and many
other little things to let us know they
were with us. / hardly realized there
were so many mules and negroes as
there are through the coal mining
region. About nine-tenths of the pop
ulation are colored, real ones. They
seem to be very patriotic for there
were many service stars in the win
dows. I had an idea many of them
didn't know what we were except the
girls, they seemed to realize we were
Jackies. A few of the fellows did
nothing along the way but take snap
shots from the car windows and write
addresses. Oh it sure was some trip.
1t certainly is very warm today
III in the shade. They call this Gods
NOuACAS OuI ~ lnG nGdIGSL ike Il
/ have ever known. All we can do
is drink water wipe Precipitation and
sit under electric fans. We are in
the main camp. Instead of tents and
barracks we have bungalows, one for
each crew of eight men.
There are 5000 of those buildings,
15x20 it. They are furnished with
electric lights and water. No nice
davenports or rocking chairs, but
chairs and hammocks. We get along
very nicely. The "Arm Guards are
treated like kings. We are looking
forward to our cruise from Norfolk
to New York. The distance being
$50 miles. We make it in a day. We
will be in New York two weeks.
While there we are going to Phila-
delphia. We are going on the battle
ship Nevada" n of Uncle Sans
largest boats. She is in dock now
being shined up. She is a boat of
$4,000 tons, 685 feet long and paint
ed many colors so as not to be seen
at a distance. We are going over to
Hampton Roads tomorrow to prac-
tice with Gin. guns. We are going to
try for craftsmanship with the big
guns and if we make good we go on
a little JOY ride across the big drink.
1 do not think many will make good
for the ship will be moving also the
target. We made a good record at
Great Lakes but this will be much
harder. Believe me I'm going to try
hard for it. 1 saw the ocean today
for the first time. 1t was so calm it
did not appear very interesting, no
more than the Great Lakes, but
expect to see it when it will CD
1 would enjoy being at home on my
birthday but instead l will be on the
deep blue sea. Those pictures are
very good. l look at them often tho
it makes me homesick.
With love and best wishes to all,
Hobart e. Doll.

Dearest Folks:
received your letters that l look
ed for for a long time. / was sure
glad to hear from you and that you
are all well, as that's all that wor-
r1es me. AS long as you folks all
stay we'll l doA't worry one bit.
I'm fine and dandy. Like it fine
mere and am having a better time
than | ever expected to have. Al
though we are at work steady every
day u days aren't so very long. We
get plenty to eat and g good place
to bunk. It's rather cold here for
this time Of year. It was real nice al
first but the part we are in never
has real summer weather until in
August and September; so have nice
weather for working.
/ suppose it's fine and warm back
there now. Would sure like to spend
a few days there. We have a little
excitement here occasionally, nothing
serious but enough that we know
there's a war going IN. I guess at
that if it weren't for hearing the guns
it wouldn't seem much like war. Sup
pose most of the boys have all gone
by this time, but haven't seen a friend
of mine since I've been here. Was to
q bath house about five miles from
here today. Had a good bath and got
some new clothes. We get them near
ly every week. It's a place donated
by the Red Cross and sure is fine.
You can't realize how much we APP
p~reciate it. By going there it saves
us doing u washing at least.
l received a letter from Ada and
she seems to be enjoying herself the
same as ever. l hear from Bloom
real often too. Ha! 1 suppose Fred
will soon be " here. I'd like to
meet him. So Eleanor mas gone to
California, Ell? Suppose she will
have some time for the summer.
The boys here are all going to a
boxing match. We have a few bouts
here every Wednesday and Sunday
eve. The ring is only about a hum
dred yards from our barracks. Would
like to see George. Tell him hello
for me. And Jim is we'll satisfied in
Missouri. Would like to see him.
Has Bing been drafted yet? What
will Maude do?' Ha! You people
over there seem to think the war is
going to last a long time yet. Well
you know more about the war back
there than we do here. Am sure
glad that / came over and didn't
stay at Baltimore as I wouldn't miss
this for a fortune. OF course it may
be some time before I get back but
will be there some day as long as 1
keep in as good health as i have so
far as I've sure been fine all the
time.
Too bad about Wetmore getting
drowned. I heard about it a week or
so ago through a friend of mine. I
also hear Jennings Nelson's mother
died. Too bad for him as he's sure
a swell fellow. Would like to see
him over here.
So you say Roy Durni from Lam
caster is with the 23rd Engineers.
Well I never met him but sure wish
1 had. There's a truck company
right near us here. I heard that they
were all Wisconsin boys and that
several Lancaster and Platteville
boys were with them. Am going ov-
er to see them some time soon.
Well mother dear 1 must come to
a close for this time, Now be sure
to write often and long letters. Am
looking for another n soon.

49,
Will again tonight drop you a few
lines a. l imagine you like to hear
from me as we'll as l do from you.
I'm fine and dandy and hope this
letter nnds you the same. Am about
to make another move but don't know
just where. The weather has been
fine here for the past few days, a
great change from the past few
weeks.
l at last found some one from
home, the last I'd ever thought of.
1t was Ray Groenier from Lancaster.
He's been here within five blocks of
where I'm at ever since I've been
here and never saw him till a few
days ago. He's driving a truck in
the 101st supply train. He came ov-
er to get his truck fixed when | rec
ognized him. They used to have
boxing bouts in front of his barracks
and I'd be there every time but eve
saw him. 1t was sure queer and it
tickled me and him both to see each
other as I'm the only other fellow
except Roy 0urni that is from Ian
caster. He never knew Durni till he
happened to see him here by acct
OCllI. vi SOOA0 4SoJ LIN WS1N
friends back home. He and Rob Bur-
CESS and I used to meet often at Cass-
vile. We've been together every eve
now and think we'll be together all
the time now. Roy Durni is with the
23rd Engineers but came over be-
fore 1 did as he was with the first of
the 23rd to come across and at the
present time is only about three miles
from me and didn't know it until
Ray told me. Ray was IN the Tus-
cania when it was sunk but was sure
lucky to get out. How's Dad? Tell
him I said hello and sent my best and
not to work to hard. l suppose Har-
old is enjoying his vacation by this
time. I suppose he's as wild as ever.
Things have been quiet for the past
week.
I hope you're not worrying about
me as I'm just as safe as if I were
home.

The long black blister beetles are
again menacing the potato crop in
the southwestern part of the state,
according to DR.. E. D. Ball, state en-
tomologist of the Wisconsin depart
ment of agriculture. He states that
people from districts near Madison
are complaining that this beetle is
causing much damage. These bugs
always follow a year in which grass
hoppers are abundant as the larvae
live on grasshopper eggs, said the
doctor. The beetles are to be found
in numbers in n part of the field,
stripping the vines bare with great
rapidity while none are to be found
in the rest of the field. DR.. Ball ex-
planned that spraying will not rid the
fields of these insects but hat they
must be driven slowly with a long
switch or caught by putting a long
hoop into the middle of a gunnysack
and mailing a stick across the handle.
When caught they should be taken
to some meadow where there are gold
en- rods and there turned loose to de-
stroy the g~rasshopper eggs.
