Wilson's Note
TheLastWord
Till Huns Quit
England, Approving Stand
of President, Sees End
of Negotiations
By Arthur S. Draper
Especial Cable to The Tri6ume)


Copyright 1913 New York Tribune Inc)
LONDON, Oct. 15.-Germany knows
that Americas terms as spoken by
President Wilson constitute the last
word preliminary to peace. Between
months Of bloody and costly fighting
and the overthrow of the war lords and
the substitution of responsible gov
ernment, the Germans will not be long
in making a decision.
The Presidents reply, received early
to-day, has given great satisfaction,
not only in political, diplomatic and
commercial circles, but among the pub
lie generally. The British interpret
the reply to mean:
First-No armistice until the Hohen-
sollerns have been overthrown and the
people have the power to select their
leaders.
Second-Armistice and evacuation
are matters for the Allied army chiefs
to decide, but even, they cannot declare
terms so long as the submarine out
RACES continue and the German armies
devastate the country over which they
are retiring.
Kaiser Is Doomed
The Kaiser is doomed. The only
question now is when he will go. The
Germans are publicly discussing the
abdication of the Kaiser as if it was
the matter for early decision.
The Liberal newspapers here refuse
to discuss Maximilian's cabinet as a
Liberal government. They consider as
unsatisfactory the substitution of Max
for HeEtling. They believe the Kaiser
must abdicate in favor of his grand
son.
But opinion here is that Germany
is so anxious for peace that her peo-
pie will overthrow the dynasty.
The Westminster "Gazette" says:
"It isn't for us to tell the German
people how they must effect the neces-
sary changes, but we are certain if
aey are genuinely determined or
>eace, which will end the Prussian
militarism, they will make the changes
quickly and in much more drastic
fashion than the Kaiser elevated
Prince Max"
Demand Kaiser Quit
The Bavarian Socialists have just
unanimously declared for the abdica-
tion Of the Kaiser Outside of Prus-
sia there are few Germans who would
not sacrifice the Kaiser for peace. AL
though the Germans held their ruler
in high esteem just as the Russians
considered the Car their Little White
Father" the system of which he was
the ultimate embodiment was assailed
by the masses long before the crash
came.
Heavy loss of life and stern economic
privations have raised doubts in the

Decrease in Fire Losses

Stevens county's fire loss during
the last year was $3,125 from eight
fires.
This is a gratifying decrease as
compared with the loss and number
of fires in Stevens county last year."
says Geo. H. Nettleton, Asst. Chief
State Fire Marshal.
''The citizens of Stevens county are
to be congratulated on this splendid
showing. In many counties in Min
nesota there has been some decrease
in fire losses but there still is room
for more reductions in this matter.
However, if other sections of the
state do as we'll as Stevens county,
both the state and federal govern
ments will feel satisfied that every
thing is being done to help prevent
the useless fire waste"

Fans Speculate on Holds
 Which Ed LeWiS WiH Try
With Headock Barred Lewis Placed in Difficult Position Freberg Confident He Has Improved Defense and Will
 Throw the Strangler-Seat Sale Large

With everything in readiness for what will probably be the most thrill ing and spectacular wrestling match of the series offered this year between Ed ("Strangler") Lewis and John Ere lation among wrestling fans natural ly turns to what hold Lewis will find most effective against the Swede.
 Fans who saw the match when the two met recently will recall that Lewis exhausted every hold in his repertoire before resorting to the flying head lock. with which he finally was suc- cessful in downing the great Swede grappler. Lewis apparently was baf- fled by the tremendous strength of his opponent and it was only when he in voked the deadliest hold ever de- veloped by a wrestler, surpassing even those figured out by pr. Roller in his prime, that the Swede toppled over senseless.
 That Lewis realizes the enormity of the task before him is shown by the reluctance with which he consented to a return match and at the same time consented to bar the headlock.
 Friends of Lewis predict that he will devote most of his attention to Tre- berg's legs, and they expect him to use the toehold with deadly effect. Freberg's packers respond to this by claiming that the match with zbyszko taught Freberg- a lesson. and that he has corrected those points in his ssyle which left his pedal extremities vul- nerable to attack. Freberg, it is known, has been training assiduously for the bout tonight, and both men are in tip-top shape to put up the bat tie of their lives. It Is the am mbition of every wrestler in the game to pin the shoulders of Strangler Lewis to the mat and to feel the giant Kentuck- ian wriggling helplessly in their grasp. This ambition, be it said in passing, is one realized by very, very few men, and none in the last few years, and all indications are that monster crowd will be present to see him make the attempt.
 The seat sale for the match opened yesterday morning under the most au- spicious circumstances. Ringside seats were disposed of in large blocks, several patrons who have been reg ular attendants. taking as high as 15 or 20 It was announced through error that the seat sale would start Monday morning instead of Tuesday morning, and the widespread interest in the match was indicated by the fact that the Jefferson theatre phone was ring ing necessarily throughout Monday, and long lines of people formed out

TENNIS TOURNEY
 STARTS SATURADY
 FOR SENIOR GROWN
Second Annual Tourney for Cosby Trophy Will Start Saturday Afternoon on
 Y. M. c. A. Courts

The tennis committee of the Y M c. A,
 composed of l.. A. Brooks as chairman;
 w. T. Warren, Gordon Sparks. Richard
 Mccoy, R. L. Lange and R. E. Mitchell,
 physical director, met yesterday at noon
 and outlined plans to hold the second
 annual tennis tournament for the Cosby
 first tourney, which was held last year
 for the Cosby trophy was one of the
 largest ever held in the district.
 There were 73 different men entered in
 the single and doubles tournament.
 The tournament which is to be launched
 next Saturday will not include the dou-
 bles. They will be played the last of August. R. L. Lange won the champion- ship last year and won one leg on the trophy. If he can turn the trick again the cup will become his property. He will have a hard task to defend his title against the great number of aspirants this year. Lange is a much more diff cult man to defeat than he appears to be, his great speed and overhead game
 giving him advantage. He and Mere dith Roberts are two of the fastest men ever seen on a Birmingham court.
 The dope will no doubt receive shock when the youngsters who have just gone through a tournament match their skill with the older players. Mccoy, Smith Blake, McWane, Harrison and a few others will give a good account of them selves. Among some of the older players who will be in the running for the trophies are Brooks, who is always con tender, and one of the best natural play CTS in the south; w. T. Warren, who made an excellent showing In the tour nament recently held at Chattanooga; Blake, Roberts Johnston and Drennen, who have weathered a number of cotton states tournaments
 The trophies offered by the Y M c. A. includes the Cosby cup, a gold medal and silver medal for the runner-up. Entries will be taken today by R. E. Mitchell at the r. M. C. A. All entries
 must be in by Friday evening. The first round will be played Saturday after noon. Entry fee will be 25 cents

Preacher Perryn1dn Released and MiZIkin Added 10 Staff

Preacher Perryman was given his un- conditional release by Manager Moles- worth yesterday and Pitcher Milllken was added to the Baron hurling corps. The new hurler comes from the Pitts burg Pirates, and will report to Moley and be signed today.
 Milliken is an Alabama product He has been the star pitcher at Auburn for the past several years, and was named by several critics as the best college pitcher in the south for the past season. He has been with the Pirates since early in March.
 The deal for Milliken has been hang ing fire for several days. It was an- nounced a few days ago that the former Auburn star had been signed. but the deal was called off when he refused to come south. He changed his mind later, however.
 Kid Caton was added to the Baron hos pital list yesterday. The dimunitive shortfielder had the first finger on his right hand split by fast ground ball in the seventh inning of the first game. He will be out or the game several days. Meanwhile, Lester Sheehan, the new util- ity player, will fill the gap.
 Cecil Coombs played left field yester- day, despite the previous announcement that he would be out of the game for several days. The Baron sunfielder Is suffering from an attack of ptomaine poison and is consequently hampered in giving his best services to the team.
 The Barons and Chicks clash again to- day at Redwood. Carmen Hill will probably work for the Moleys. while Red McColl will likely be Cy Barger's pitch ing selection. The Chicks complete their series here tomorrow.
