NO LOBSTER AT THAT MEAL
Good and Distinct Reason Why Man
Took His Dinner From the Hum
BILE Sardine Tin.

A friend Of mine is very fond of lob
ster, but, like many men, has no idea
how such food is prepared. His wife
had occasion to be absent from home
one day last week, and she told the
servant girl TO broil a lobster for my
friends dinner. She left a note, telling
her husband Of the treat she had pro-
vided for him, and requesting him not
to wait dinner for her. He was quite
hungry when he reached home and, af-
ter regarding the note, said to the SER
want: ss'-s
."Is that lobster ready2"
"No, sir, it isn't" said the girl.
'Well, hurry up with it. I'm as hun
CRY as BEAR" said he.
Il can't, Sir" said the girl. "The
mistress said to broil the lobster, and
I got him on the gridiron after a dale
Of fuss. The more I poked the fire the
more he walked off, and I thought the
baste was haunted and no good would
come from cooking a straddle bug like
that"
"What did you do with it?" said my
friend, getting mad.
''Faith, the last saw Of him he was
going out the back door with his tail
up, like the maniac he was"
he had sardines for dinner.-London

UP TO THE MILITARY
Presidents Reply Regarded IS
Near UItinlatum.
Wilson's Answer to Germany Received
In Paris With Entire Approval
Printed in English.

Paris, Oct 25.-President Wilson's
reply to Germany was received in COM
petent quarters here with entire ap-
prOval.
The note was published by the news
papers here In English, as well as In
French translation, at the request of
the authorities.
La Liberte says that if Germany
gives guarantees as demanded by the
president 1t will be materially impossi-
BILE for her to continue the war.
Everything is now in the hands of
the military" says the Temps. "The
reply has moved the problem from the
domain Of controversy to the domain
of facts. The president attaches such
Importance to the essential idea that
an armistice must make it impossible
for Germany to resume the war that
he expresses it three times"
Nov the allied governments in Eu-
rope must consult with one another"
the Temps concludes. "Their position
is simple. They have not taken part in
the elaboration Of the programs which
President Wilson has developed as re-
CARDS future peace nor in the exchange
of notes which have passed between
Germany and the United States. There
can then be no question Of discussing
conditions Of peace. The allies Of Eu
rope associated with the United States
face a purely military problem. Ger
many asks for an armistice. What are
the guarantees which must be expect
ed?"

With the American Army Northwest

Hamburg and other German cities are
being armed with machine guns and
are used frequently in quelling strike
outbreaks, according to information
reaching the American intelligence de-
partment.
London, Oct. 25.-"Gigantic peace
demonstrations" during which the po-
lice fired upon the crowds with ma
chine guns, killing several women,
have just taken place in Mannheim,
Germany, said a dispatch from The
Hague to the Times.
The series of demonstrations cul-
minated on Friday when a procession
marched to the town hall. Machine
guns were mounted around the hall
and the military police opened fire up
on the marchers. In response the dem
onstrators threw bombs, killing some
Of the policemen.
So overwhelming was the rush that
the police were completely swept
aside.
Mannheim is a manufacturing city
in Baden, having population Of 15O,-
600. It is the third largest city on
the Rhine and among the chief OBJ
jects there is the palace formerly oc-
cupied by the Elector Palatine. Be-
fore the war great quantities of dye

Radical Change Made by Com
mittee In Provisions of New
Revenue Bill.
PROHIBITION AGAIN HUNG up
House and Senate Conferees on Emer-
gency Appropriation Bill With Its
Amendments for National War
Time Measure Fall to
Agree.

Washington, Oct. 25.-In lieu of the
taxes on estates proposed in the house
war revenue bill, the senate finance
committee In It's revision adopted a
plan Of taxing inheritances Of $4,000
and more, at rates to be fixed later.
The committee also decided to reduce
to $2.2o per gallon the tax on distilled
spirits used for industrial, medicinal
and other nonbeverage purposes.
The new tax proposes that tnheri-
tances received by heirs, instead of es-
tates left by deceased persons, shall

ter state Inheritance taxes are i'm

Changes insurance Tax,
The revenue Of the government prob
ably would be half Of the S11O,OOO,-
600 levy on estates proposed In the
house bill. Returns from life lnsur-
ance policies under $4,000 would not
be taxed under the committees plan.
Reduction Of the rate on non-bever-
age distilled spirits and alcohol or

reduce the cost Of medicines. The
house had axed the tax at $40 per

tee reduced that to $500 and today to
S2.20 per gallon, which is the cate un-
der present law.
House and senate conferees on the

ported to the senate today by the ap-
preparations committee. Anticipating

til tomorrow so that no delay might
result in sending the measure to con-
ference.
New Emergency Power Bill
A substitute for the administration

GREEKS HOPE FOR LIBERATION
Put Faith in Presidents Letter Urging
Relief Measures.

Athens, Oct 25.-Local newspapers
publishing the letter from President
Wilson to the committee which was
founded with the idea of collecting
subscriptions to succor victims in
Asia Minor, comment very favorably
regarding it. The communication is
characterized as just recognition of
the rights of the Greeks in Aaia Minor,
a large number Of whom have shed
their blood in the fight for justice and
right.
President Wilson's letter is regarded
here as the first official step toward
the attainment of such justice, and it
is felt that the presidents promise will
bring about conditions leading to the
realization of the ideals of Hellenism
for the future.

Written With knowledge Of Internal

tive Passing Plea
Over to Foch.

the enemy would be compelled through
both internal and external pressure
20 submit to whatever terms are set
forth by Marshal Foch and approved
by the allied governments and the
United States.
II these terms are tantamOunt to
surrender, and the president has
pointed out explicitly that they will
be such as to make impossible a re-
newal Of hostilities by Germany, the
stage Is all set as far as we are con-
cerned.
U. s. ENJOYS in Europe.
Representatives Of the war, navy
and state departments who are quail
fed to talk with authority are now In
Europe.
In addition the supreme council OF
Versailles, which may soon convene,
is expected to subscribe formally to
the presidents terms The terms al
ready have been approved by the al
ie,l premiers In public addresses, but
direct ratification would give them the
standing they merit, 1t was said.
This step would be in line with the
presidents address at New York city
when he said:
"Unity Of purpose and of counsel
are as imperatively necessary in this
war as was unity Of command in the
battlefield; and with perfect unity Of
purpose and counsel will come assur-
ance of complete victory. 1t can be
had In other way"
Praise for Master Stroke.
Perhaps no other message of the
president was received with such sat
isfaction in official and diplomatic
quarters as his note Of Wednesday
night to Germany.
The president is given full praise
for what is termed a master stroke
of diplomacy which accomplished
three things.
First, the president, by the conct1a-
tory manner in which he received Ger
many's promises, has satisfied the
peace sentiment existing in the allied
nations, which have had four years Of
war with all its hardships.
Second, he satisfied the militant ele-
ment both in allied nations and in
the United States, by '1eaving it to
FOch.'
Third, he has satisfied the ultra
militants in both the United States
and allied nations by his use of the
word surrender" as applied to the
military and monarchical autocrats of
Germany.
Gives Foch the Stage.
Germany, it was said, may have
reckoned she had trapped the presi-
dent, but now she knows the contrary
to be the case. he has put an abrupt
end to further parleys between the
German government and the United
States by ecIpsing himself and giving
Foch the stage.
From the military standpoint, the
situation was made self-evident by the
president. Guarantees are essential,
as is disarmament, for under other
conditions Germany might be in a po-
sition to make "a renewal of hostili-
ties" possible. Furthermore, the doom
Of autocracy is sounded by the presi-
dents words with regard to the 'tKing
of Prussia"
