RINGING ANSWER TO GERMANY.


The answer of President Will
son to Germany follows Ihave
the honor to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your note of the 22nd
transmitting a communication
under datesof the 10th from the
Germantgovernment, and to ad-
wise you: that the President has
instructedImesto reply thereto as
follows
Having received the solemn
and explicit! assurance of the
German government that it un-
reservedly accepts the terms of
peace laid.down in his address to
the Congress of the United States
on the Sth of. January, 1918, and
the principles of:settlement enun-
ciated in his subsequent address,
es, particularly Ithe address of
the 27thiof September, and that
it desireslitos discuss the details
of their::Fapplication, and that
this wishyandapurpose emanated
not from those who have hith-
erto dictated German policy and
conducted the present war on
Germany's behalf, but from min
listers who speak for the MAORI
ty of the Reichstag and for an
overwhelmingsgmajority of the
German people and having also
the eXplicitlpromise of the pres
ent German government that the
humane rules of the civilized war
fare will :he observed both on
land and sea by the German
armed forces, the President of
the United States feels that he
can not decline to take up with
the governments with which the
Government of the United States
is associated the question of an
armistice.
He deems it his duty to say
again, however, that the only
armistice.he would feel justified
in submitting for consideration
would be one which should leave
the United States and the Pow
ers associated with her in a posi-
ton to enforce any arrangements
that may be entered into and to
make a renewal of hostilities on
the part of Germany impossible.
"The President has, therefore,
transmitted his correspondence
with the present German author.
tiles to the Governments with
which the Government of the
United States is associated as a
beiligerent, with the suggestion
that, if these Governments are
disposed to effect peace upon the
terms and principles indicated,
their military advisers and the
military advisors Of the United
States be asked to submit to the
Governments associated against
Germany the necessary terms of
such an armistice as will fully
protect the interests of the peo-
pies involved and insure to the
associated Governments the un-
restricted power to safeguard
and enforce the details Of the
peace to which the German gov
eminent has agreed, provided
they deem such an armistice pos
sible from the military point Of
view. Should such terms of
armistice be suggested. their

Will you please find space in

came here from Cumberland
Co., KY, but do enjoy reading
the Adair County News. There
were eight others came when |
did. 6 out Of the 9 were married
men. We were called to report
at our local Board, August q,
1918, and in short time after
roll call we were loaded on a
truck, at 5 p. M, which landed
US at Glasgow at 2:30 a. m. The
road was terrible rough. We
had lunch with US which sure
tasted good for the first meal
furnished by Uncle Sam. But
one thing l can fay Uncle Sam
sure feeds his boys all they can
eat. When we reached Glasgow
we put up for the rest of the
night. Leslie Anderson, one of
our crowd, was sick. We had
to call the doctor. He was too
sick to enjoy the trip. He has
been in the hospital ever since
he has been here. He is better
now. All the way we picked up
more boys, and when we reach
ed Camp Taylor we had good
bunch of boys and there were
not but a few rejected. We got
our shots and vaccinations, then
we got our uniforms and began
the life of a soldier. Some may
wonder what all a soldier has to
do. One thing he has to do with
out a doubt and that is to obey
all orders, and then he has a lit
tie of every thing to do. He
must wash, sweep, mop, and
make up his bunk. Yes, once
in a while he has to be kitchen
police. This job none of the
boys like. I had only been here
9 days, when I was sent to the
Base Hospital for bronchitis. I
had good treatment there for 3
days, then I was transferred to
the convalescent ward for 10
days to rest. There I had good
treatment and nourishing food.
So any that have relatives or
friends in the hospital, rest easy
they all are cared for and doc
tored by skilled physicians and
waited upon,by Red Cross nurses.
The Red Cross is great. 1t lends
a helping hand to all that are in
need. Let me urge all who are
not members to join the Red
Cross, for you could not be a
member of anything that would
be any more benefit to the SOL
diers, here and overthere, too.
The Y. M. G. A., is another
great help to the boys. They
furnish stationery for us all, a
place to write our letters, place
for amusement. movies, little
games, music, religious services,
and every thing that could make
a soldier feel &C home and where
you can meet your civilian
friends. When the boys first
get to the army they are not
very anxious to go aross. but af-
ter they are here awhile it seems
like they can't get across quick

( Ny Very Dear Friend;
| Having just returned from a long
( trip am very tired. but Will try and
write you a few lines and give you an
| idea Of what a terrible thing this war
is Ny experiences have been many
! since you last heard from me. and now
that I am safe again after so long a
time possibly accounts for my mood to-

assure you that II is not going to be
very pleasant.
have seen the shell torn fields where
once was growing grain: desecrated
churches where happy people worship
ped God; wasted villages once as calm
and lovely as any Indiana home that
now exists. I have seen pttiful little
mounds beneath which lie little chill
dren. mother and father who shared
the same fate Of an unprepared nation.
have seen ruin and misery that even
time can never heal / know the anguish
that now is spattered in eternal blood
stains over Europe. and will some day
be spread over my own home land unless
we American people become fully
awake 10 the seriousness Of this war
and fully determined by the help of
Almighty God to wrench this menace
from the aristocratic rulers of the Prus-
sian empire.
Having seen this which I now write,
and which is now actually happening
right here every day on French soil.
I realize that the same thing will be
brought to our own homes unless every
one Of the good people who are in Amer
lea. and over here place our whole heart
and soul in the one determination to win
and to cooperate with each other. The
work and support Of the non-con batants
over there is Just as essential as the
work of the units upon the field Of bat
tie.
When our boys see these things, and
give them serious thought it is
then that the spirit that was displayed
by our own heroes at Gettysburg, whose
heroism is seldom and never surpassed.
still exists. and will never die until the
cloud of war that now overhangs our
horizon has vanished into the distant
haze. and the bright stars once again
shine upon the world free from the
thorn that has all Europe pinned to
waste and desolstion.
No pen can picture the horror that
is brought to our view every day And
Of course this is caused by the one
dream of the "Kronheads" whose whole
desire is a world conquest.
Now again I look over the vast plains
tonight thinking Of my dear ones at
home. and see many faces quite famil-
lar TO me. whose hearts are heavy with
the thought Of some dear one missing
But then again I can see great reso-
luton which will come forth a gl

first of u series OF athletic eXhi-
bitions was staged at Potomac Park

Battling Nelson, known wherever
the boxing game is played, featured
with an exhibition bout with his
fighting dummy, the Kaiser"
which he is trying to get the gov
eminent to adopt for the use of the
"Sammies." Bat" demonstrated
that he can still put up quite a nifty
scrap.
The other bouts were made up of
local scrappers and wrestlers. Mike

up against Shankey Gardner.
Johnny Cunningham and Kid Nc
Cauley furnished a good fast set-to,
while Joe Turner and Frank Ze-

GARDNER TONIGHT

Everything is in readiness for the
middle-weight tilt which win be
staged tonight at the Lyceum The
ater. Pinky Gardner arrived here
yesterday from Buffalo ready. WILL
ing and anxious to step upon the
mat with Joe Turner, the middle
weight champion.
Gardner greets. his appearance
with a glad hand as he is more than
anxious to meet the middle-weight
title holder in a championship bout
Although the grapplers in this con-
test are not making weight it can
be considered q title affair because
both have met in bouts and have
had q standing difference.
These boys will go in tonight at
a slight poundage over the middle
weight limit, but fans who come and
go are sure of witnessing q real
bout between two athletes who
know the game from A to 2, and
as a prediction It will not be at
all surprising IL Pinkey has the best
OF Joe.
