TURK FOR PEACE

dent fact resulting from this close
union of the allies that we shall always
regulate e.4r attitude in the approa CHI
ing negotiations in constant reciprocal
agreement with them. If the bases
of the agreement to be concluded exist
as the result of the acceptance of the
points of the program (Barcn Burian
was evidently referring to Presiden,
Wilson's program) the application and
execution of these diverse points in
their practical bearing, can neverthe-
less give rise to differences Of opinion
which We must try to dissipate by
carefully weighing the opposing poinl
of view and vigorously defending the
conditions of our constitutional exis-
tence.
THE allies will have to support each
other in these discussions. They will
have to find in the settlement of liti-
gious questions that line of agreement
which will protect their interests from
injury"

Chairman Shirley was enabled to
make these huge cuts when a study

hurried preparedness of estimates,
Legislation in the bill besides the
salvage commission and extension of

That the shipping board shall not

That the pay of field clerks in the
army shall be $1,000 instead of $1,000

Allies See HOhenzOIIern Rule
Crumbling Rapidly Now.
Soon People viii Realize Fight
Losing One.
EARLY COLLAPSE OF TURKEY
Then Austria's Disintegration
Would Be Next.
In This Empire There Are Sc
riOuS Disturbances.

Washington, Oct. 16.-Upon a grow
ing dissatisfaction in Germany over
kaiser-rule, authorities here today
based the view that the Hohenzollern
power will soon crumble and that the
Wilson peace terms will then be ac-
cepted.
Both openly and guardedly, the
Teuton press is voicing its dissatisfac-
ton with things as they are in leu
ton political life.
The comment. expressing discomfort
with the kaiser's autocratic power, is
now becoming SO general that the all
powerful German censor apparently
does not dare kill it.
Authorities believe that even the
most loyal of the kaiser's subjects will
begin to appreciate soon that the
murder master is the only thing stand
ing in the path of peace and will real
ize that they are fighting a losing
fight.
The state department is keeping a
careful file of German press comment
gathered by its agents in countries
near Germany.
The department withhoIds this gen.
orally. lest it raise American ideas of
an early peace unduly.
Proceed With War.
In this connection it may be said
the government is now proceeding
with the war just as tho the peace
notes had not been exchanged. The
military authorities are disregarding
peace prospects thru diplomacy en-
tirely in their plans and calculations.
They are arranging force without
stint'-going on the theory that so
far the most convincing argument
with a German is a bullet in his
head
Authorities look for the early col
lapse of Turkey. Her request for
peace will proba bly, be answered by
the allies with a demand for uncon-
ditional surrender to be arranged with
the commanding general, along lines
similar in scope to those applied
against Bulgaria.
From Turkish collapse to disinte-
grafton of the Austro- Hungarian en-
pire is regarded as no far cry. With
that the German will listen to reason
rapidly--will see that kaiserdom is
poor investment.
Return of Territory
One point which is causing a vast
amount of discussion is what will
occur over the demand for return of
Alsace-Lorraine to France? This has
been regarded as a sticking point, but
it is felt here that Germany's military
situation is such that she cannot
dfcker over this matter now. If she
does not choose to accept an armistice
and democracy, Foch's armies will set
tie Alsace-Lorraine question.
Reported anti-kaiser demonstrations
In Germany, plus imminent trouble
from the Poles and Slavs to the east,
are big factors in the peace situation.
Diplomatic circles are receiving in
dications that distinct movements are
afoot In Poland, Bohemia and Moravia

APPEAL TO BANKERS
State Commissioner Urges Them To
Put Over State Loan Quota

Put Over State Loan QUOTA
Walter Wilson, state bank commits
sioner, sent out an S. o. S. call to the
state banks of Kansas today to re-
double their efforts to make certain
that Kansas will oversubscribe her
quota of SOS, 100000 to the fourth lib
erty-l loan. The letter went to each
of the 1850 state banks and trust COM
panies operating under the state laws,
directing the banks to call in the di-
rectors and instruct them to get busy
at once. The letter said:
Kansas State Bankers:
Kansas quota, fourth liberty loan is
$65,000,00O.
Bankers, 1t is up to you. Our state
must not fail to do her part.
If you cannot sell the bonds as re-
quested by the government. you will
have to take whatver amount is short.
Get busy. This is the time, Kansas

ment's agent.
now in the service, are looking to their
home state to make good. Will they
be disappointed? The answer is in
your hands. Your government needs
the money to back up the demand for
Unconditional Surrender"
Loan your money to the government
to purchase supplies for our boys who
are offering their all.
Call in your board of directors and
tell them they must get busy and help
sell your quota.
This is the last opportunity to carry

Concerted action between Poland

force early elimination of Austria and
creation of a grave situation in the

The Czecho-Slovaks in Moravia and

Berne cables show that the Polish

The Poles apparently see a chance

likely that Germany will try to retain

lines in the rear of the German front.
A victory for the American in the Ar
gonne sector would decide the fate of
Germany on the western front and
compel general retreat by the
enemy from the most of the French
ground he still holds.
French and Italian troops are NOV
