Germany Must. Be Disarmed
If America and Allies
Consider ArmistiCe
Terms, He Says
Nations Of World Do Not Trust
Word of German Master
Plea For Cessation of Hos
tilities will Be Turned Over
to Army Commanders

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-"The nations of the
world do not and can not trust the
word of those who have hitherto been
the masters of German policy" This
is the answer of the President of the
United States to Germany'S latest bid
for peace. He notifies her, however,
that on her acceptance of his terms,
the question of an arInistice, which
Germany seeks, Is to be presented to
the Governments of the nations asso-
ciated with the United States. The
President goes on to say without equiv
ocation THAT If it (the United States)
must deal with the military masters
and the monarchial autocrats of Ger
many now, or if it is likely to have to
deal with them later in regard TO the
international obligations of the Ger
man empire, it must demand not peace
negotiations, but surrender"
The President says that nothing can
be gained by leaving this essential
thing unsaid. HIS reply, which was
made public, serves notice on Ger
many that on her assurance of accept
ance of the terms laid down by him in
his recent addresses he can not decline
to take up with the Governments as
sociated with the United States in the
war the question of an armistice.
However, he forcefully serves notice
on Germany that only an armistice
which will amount to the practical dis
arming of her forces in the field will
be considered. No agreement will be
made which will not leave the United
States and the Entente Allies to en-
force, with arms, the peace which Ger
many has sought, and all of the articles
to which she has notified this Govern
ment of her acceptance.
In addition to the reply of the Presl-
dent there was made public by Joseph
p Tumulty, the Presidents secretary,
letter from the President to Secre-
tary of War Baker, congratulating
both the War and Navy Departments
on the successful transportation of
more than 100000 American soldiers
overseas. The Presidents message
clearly points the way for Germany to
obtain peace, and at the same time 1t
strips the German note of every YES
tge of hypocrisy that camouflaged It,.
The President reiterates that there can
be no peace with autocracy, save the
peace that comes on the heels of I'M
conditional surrender. That point is
made perfectly plain. Furthermore,
the President does, rs he said he
would, refer the question of an armis-
tce to the military advisers of those
Governments associated with the Uni
ted States in the war. Their word will
be final on the subject.

GLAMoR OF ROMANCE GONE
Modern Institutions Have Destroyed
the Poetry Connected With Scenes
Depicted by Scott.

II you are a lover of Scott you viii
include In your Scottish tour Loeb
Kathrine and Ellen's isle. The lovely
silver lake and tiny island, immor-
tallzed In SCOTS poem and novels,
are the most visited spots In the High.
lands. With your tartan-covered copy
of the poem clasped TO your heart you
stand at the foot of old Ben Venue
waiting for the Lady OF the Lake to ap-
pear and carry you over the lake to her
fairy island. Instead sturdy little
yacht puffs up to the bank and
gloomy, bewhlskered son Of the High
lands offers, for a consideration, to
take you to Ellen's isle or to the oppo-
site bank of the lake. Disconnected
you try to connect this prosaic substi-
tute for the maiden-driven bark OF ro-
nance with the green-clad Knight or
Snowden and fall miserably, You are
convinced that the gallant, adventur.
GUS king, accosted by such a craft
would have remained on shore. and the
poem would never have been written.
However great a disappointment the
yacht may be, the lake and island are
all you have expected. Loeb Katrine,
hardly more than a mile wide, winds
its narrow way through eight miles OF
Highland scenery. On one bank the
grassy craig and broken contour Of
Ben Venue rises above the still deep
waters of the lake. In the hoary side
Of old Ben is the goblin cave, the
scene Of nightly eerle reveries. There
Is Glengyle, haunted by the ghosts Of
the unfortunate Macgregors Ben Aan
and the Trossachs with their thousands
of stories. Then at the head of
narrow lslet Is Ellen's isle, where
SCOTS heroine lived with her father,
protected by the outlaw chief. Roder-
lex Dhu.
During the last century tho clear
fresh waters of the lake have been
piped to the city of Glasgow. Loeb
Katrlne is drinking cup for one Of
Scotland's largest and most modern
cities. The water level has been raised
and the silver strand of the poem and
part Of the isle have been submerged
under the waters of the lake.-Chi.

Diplomacy Wins.

Frank speakers Cor whatever they
may term themselves) should remem-
Der that certain kinds of frankness
bring lot of uneasiness and often pain
TO others, and those Of us who stop to
think at all will admit that 1t is by
far the better part of valor to refrain
from telling everyone at all times just
what we think. We should study the
temperaments of the persons with
whom we come in contact, and while
before some we may express ourselves
freely and without reserve, we must in
the presence Of others be most careful
and guarded in our remarks.

Mans Books Reveal Character.

Those afflicted with the passion of
acquisltiveness form a larger class
than might be supposed. The pres
ence of books in a household Is ac-
cepted as an evidence of culture. 1t
is no new craze, for as far back as
the days of the arrogant magnificance
of Alexandria. Seneca cried out: "Our
Idle book hunters know nothing but
titles and bindings; their chests Of &C.
dar and ivory, and the bookcases that
FIJI the bathroom are nothing but fash

which bring the culture, but rather
the use of books. and those books
which a man uses are expressive Of

COULD ANYTHING BE SIMPLER
Yet Probably Many Who have Sud
denly Dlsmounted From Mule
Never Saw Things That Way.

A young soldier was watching the
efforts of his fellow privates to ride .
refractory mule. Not one Of them
could stay on its back for two sec
onds.
AT last the looker-on approached and
drawIed:
II say. let me show you how It's
DONE"
Come on. then" said the soldiers.
The youth -sldled up to the mule,
swung himself on the animals back,
wrapped his legs beneath its body
and took firm hold on the reins. The
mule made slight effort to dislodge
him, but the man stuck. Another
slightly more strenuous effort by the
mule also failed. Then, laying his ears
back, and taking q deep breath, the
mule shot his heels into the air at an
angle Of 65 degrees, and the young
man was propelled to the ground.
He slowly arose to his feet, screwed
his fare into smile, and said:
Now, that's the way, boys When
YOU see he's goin' to pitch you off, Just
get Off"
