MRS. DEER'S SICKNESS.
~ AsNpY GRAHAM bonner

Poor Mrs. Deer was sick. She was
certainly a very sick animal and her
large eyes looked at the keeper as
though to say:
Il feel so badly, l feel as though
were going to die. And l don't want
to die, Keeper, for the world is such
a beautiful place. The sun shines,
the rain cools it off, the snow looks
soft and white and beautiful when the
winter is here and the trees are al
most always lovely.
"In the spring they burst into
bloom, in the summer time they are
full and green, in the autumn they are
Of various colors and in the winter
they are often covered with soft
blankets of white snow.
"And there are the trees of the
forests, the dark pines and spruces
and elms. They are always beautiful.
Oh, keeper, the world is a very beau
dfu place and want to live so very
much
Now Mrs. Deer was very nervous
for all of the deer family are extreme
" nervous and timid. They are nat
urally rather delicate too in most
cases.
II am afraid" said the keeper, as
he saw Mrs. Deer limping about most
painfully, "that you have sprained or
strained your knee joint or maybe your
ankle"
Poor Mrs. Deer wanted to be made
well and yet she was afraid to be cap
tured by the keeper. Now the keep
er did not want to brighten Mrs. Deer
and he understood just how she felt.
She was certainly in a great deal Of
pain and yet she dreaded being at
tended to for she knew that often
meant so much more pain.
81 have to be patient" said the
keeper, 'for if hurry her and fright
en- her I will only make her worse.
The daily banner. (Cambridge, Md.) 1897-2008, 1918-10-23

Then she will have a terrible case of
nervous fright in addition to the pain
which is making her limp"
And indeed the keeper was very pa
dent. He waited long, long time be-
fore the deer would let him take her
gently, not forcing her to come to
him.
"Well, Mrs. Deer, we must see what
Is the matter with you," the keeper
said, and then the zoo doctor came
along. The keeper had sent for him.
He had been around several times be-
fore, but the keeper had sent him
away, saying:
"Stay around but net too near. We
mustn't brighten Mrs. Deer, for she
has enough pain without being made
dreadfully nervous. We must be pa
tent" And the zoo doctor had
agreed with the keeper.
Mrs. Deer turned her eyes upon the
Keeper, now that she was being stroked
by him, just as she had looked at him
before he had caught her.
And once again it seemed as if she
we're saying: Il want TO live, keeper,
The world is such beautiful place"
The keeper stroked her and soothed
her and said:
"There, there, Mrs. Deer, you'll be
al well soon All well soon"

With the Allied Armies in Belgi-
UNI, Oct. 23.-On the northern part OF
the front the Bel@ ans have reached
the Lys canal on the whole of the
front.
They captured a hridgehead west of
Meerendre, taking prisoners. (Meeren-
Dire is less than six miles northwest
of Ghent)
The French have crossed the Lys
river at several points between Gram
meme and OeoSelehem, southwest of
Client, overpowerins opposition. Ihey
are now firmly established east of the
river. while making progress in effect
ing crossings at other points.
The general situation in Belgium
seemed to he that on most of the front
the allied armies had reached peri
cd of pause. which is inevitable when
rand advances have been made. Ger
man resistance stiffened appreciably
during the night, especially along the
Scheldt river.
On the front of the British fourth
army. with which the Americans arc,
fighting, the night was quiet. u.
The enemy appears to be in strength
in the angle south of Valenciennes
formed by the Scheldt and Ecaillon
rivers, probably indicating that he has
defensive line south of the Scheldt
on which he is going to attempt TO
stand for while.
West of Journal the British have
reached the village Of Orcq. Journal
rapidly is becoming the peak of the
salient being driven in toward the
Scheldt by the British.
Fighting is progressing here and
there along the allied line north of
Valenciennes for the purpose of
STRENGTHENING out the front and con-
solidating positions. Between Tour
mai and Valenciennes the British con-
tfnue their progress toward the
Scheldt
On the front of both the third and
fourth armies, high velocity guns and
other artillery are active. German
machine guns on the eastern bank OF
the Harpies river, which had been
causing considerable trouble, have
been put out of action.
British bombing a'rplanes flew low
over the machine GIN positions and
obliterated them and their occupants
with enormous bombs.
The British have made slight adj
yances in the valley of the Ecaillon

London Sees Trick in German Reply

London Sees Trick in German Reply.
London, Oct. 23.-The German reply
to President Wilson is regarded here
as mot business, but mere argument
and protestation."
Reuters Limited advance the fol-
lowing views as held in authoritative
quarters regarding the German reply:
The German note assumes the pres
ident only demanded the evacuation OF
occupied territory and the Germans
are still proceeding on that assump-
ton. This is not so, and this point
should be made clear.
Freedom of the seas as understood
by Germany cannot be accepted by
Great Britain at all. There are vari-
Gus other naval questions requiring
elucidation.
Other points which have not been
touched upon include questions OF in
IDENTITIES and reparatiOns.
The view in military circles is that,
having made a more successful retire
ment from Flanders than they expect
ed 10 be able to make when they first
proposed an armistice, the Germans
now feel safer on definite new lines
and less eager to get back to their
own frontiers Hence they are inclin-
ed to let peace talk drift same what,
hoping thereby to secure better terms.

Germany Feels Safer Now and Will-
inc to Play For Time is Military
View in London.

Washington, Oct. 23.-The official
text of Germany'S latest note to Pres
ident Wilson was received by cable
at the Swiss legation.
Frederick Oederlin, the charge, ar
ranged to deliver 1t to Secretary of
State Lansing as soon as it could be
decided
His appearance at the state depart
ment was delayed for several hours,
as the task of DECIDING and tranSlat-
ing proved long and tedious.
Considerable differences in VERDI
age may be shown. 1t is understood
the official text will clear up certain
obscure passages in the wireless YER
sion received previously.
President Wilson discussed with his
cabinet the method by which Amerl-
ca shall! make answer to Germanys
new bid for peace. An analysis OF the
German note revealed many different
points of view in the presidents offi-
ciaI family.
All turned on what evidence of good
faith Germany had offered, and wheth-
er it was sufficient to warrant an
abrupt and peremptory response or
one that was calculated to make the
Germans come even further along to-
ward the eventual gOal-tanglble al
mission of defeat so that the military
power and system could be conclusive
ly regarded as broken.
Generally speaking, the German
note puzzled Washington. Everyone
in the government was disposed TO
inauire what was behind the rather
abject phraseology of the communlca-
tion-a real effort to get peace with
out humiliation, or a clever dodge TO
prevent the allied armies ever Destroy
ing Gernany's military power.
Some officials thought they saw an
awkward and clumsy effort of the
Germans to tell the world they really
were reforming their government and
making it democratic, while at the
same time to preserve their national
pride were not willing to admit it in
so many words.
Others thought Germany really was
asking the president to continue the
parleys, and that in petitioning him
not to approve any demand which
would be irreconcilable with the hon
or of the German people and with
opening a way to a peace Of justice
the writer's of the note did not them
selves expect President Wilson to re-
lax his fnsistance on his original de-
nnondS hut really were urging him to
be merciful in imposing those de-
mandS.
Wherever the argument, wherever
tie discussion, everyone came back to
the fundamental issue: Is Germany
on the level or adroitly trying to ma
peuver out of a bad fix with her mill
taristic system intact?

BOLSHEv|K ACTIVITY.
Prosecutions viii Ensue if
Agitation Develops Into
Sedition.
ENEMY ALIENS ARE BUSY

Spread of bolshevik doctrines in the
United States has been watched care
fully by Department of Justice agents
with view to undertaking prosecu-
lions If the agitation goes beyond
legal bounds and develops into sedi-
ton, officials declared today.
Thus far the propaganda has not
reached what officials consider dan
gerous proportions, although they
look for it's continued growth among
foreign populations of cities. In New
York and San Francisco the bolshevik
movement has become more pro-
nounced than in other cities. officials
said
Although the agitation is promoted
partly by a group Of former syndi-
calists and I. w. W. leaders, inveSti-
cation shows, say government agents
it is fostered by new element of
dissatisfied citizens, favoring aboli-
ton of private property rights and
development of government, by soviet
committees, with communal control of
industry and trade.
Propos, to Assume Management.
Agitators advocated the retention of
present industrial leaders. officials
say until the soviet organizations can
become more familiar with industrial
and commercial processes, when they
propose to take over the management
The government has no interest in
preventing the spread or development
of these ideas, Department of Justice
officials emphasize, until they are
translated into utterances or acts di-
rectiy threatening to the continuous
orderly functioning of the govern
ment
To some extent, this bolshevik prop
uganda has been promoted by enemy
aliens. This is one reason for con-
tinuation by the Department of JUS
tice of its policy of in.ernments.
1t was reiterated today that the de-
partment will not d sclose the num-
bers of enemy aliens now informed or
give other information concerning in
ternment practices until conclusion Of
peace.
