Washington, Oct. l5.--lt was Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg himself and
not the supposedly nacifist premier
Prince MaXimilian, who caused the
German government to accept Presi-
dent Wilson's neace terms and seek
an armstice, according to advces
which reached Washington today
through official sources by way Of
neutral country.
According to this version Won Hin
denburg knowirG the desperate con-
dition of the German army and him
self better than any civilian, and es-
peciallN the fact that there Is now no
supply of raw material to replenish
the exhausted stocks of munitions of
war insisted upon the application for
an armistice Prince Macmillan is
said to have resisted strongly, dis
closing himself in the light of a true
conservative and autocrat, only to be
overruled by the majority of the war
council at which were present tho
heads OF the German states This is
pointed to as the explanation of why
the German note in response to Pres
ident Wilson's inquiries was signed by
DIR, Solf, the minister for foreign
affairs, although the prince had m
itiated the correspondence.
From the same source is cahled a
prediction that the German defensive
cannot be continued without
debacle for more than three months
at the outside. This statement. from
a we'll informed neutral source re-
garded as semi-offieial. IS based upon
belief that great revolution is im-
pending in Germany. the majority Of
the people being determines to have
peace at any price.

s|SSON PAPERS
MATTER MAY Be
AIRED IN COURT
icy MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wrasl

New York Oct. 15.--Raymond
Robins of Chicago, head of the Amer
lean Red Cross mission which went to
Russia last year, appeared in the fed
eral court here in answer to q war
rant for his arrest issued yesterday af-
ter he evaded service of a subpoena.
He had been summoned to testify re-
garding the authenticity of the COM
mittee of public information's "Sisson
papers," which sought to establish
proof of German inspiration and fl
nancial support of the Lenine-Trotzky
regime in Russia.
Neither Mr. Robins nor his coun-
sci would discuss the formers action,
but they assured attorneys represent
ing five men and woman on trial for
alleged violation Of the espionage
act, in whose behalf Mr.. Robins had
been called as witness, that he
would appear in court when called.
Consequently the warrant for his ar
rest was cancelled.
The case is one in which the defend
ants are accused of circulating print
ed statements to the effect that the
United States violated international
law in attempting to interfere in the
internal affairs of Russia, and in land
ing troops on Russian soil without de-
claring war on that country. Their
counsel announced that he would ask
Secretary of War Baker and George
Creel chairman of the committee on
public information, to testify. The
lawyer bases defense of his clients. in
part, on a claim that the Sisson pa
pers were forgeries.

Weather Unfavorable.

Except for brief period in the
! latter part of the day when the WIS.,
Utility slightly improved it was q bat
| tie without adequate observation for
either side. Clouds without break
covered the field throughout the day
and during much of the time driZzl-
ing rain was falling.
This condition, coupled with a lack
of wind. made the time for gas at
tacks almost ideal and the Germans
took full advantage of the weather
Every wood and ravine through which
the Americans moved was flood of
lethal and mustard gases, supplement-
ed with q liberal fire of high explo-
sives and shrapnel.
In front of their barbed wire de-
lenses, however. the Germans be-
trayed an unusual nervousness. In
stead OF the ordinary well controlled
artillery fire their artilleries exploded
into a barrage fire on the slightest
excuse. Instead of these barrages
covering any counter offensive they
were nothing more than defensive
move and they were laid down at the
least indication of activity on the
part of their assailants.
One of the most stubbornly held
positions was in the Chatillon woods
which covered the high hill south of
ROMANCE. The Americans worked
their way around the sides of this
great natural obstacle forming one
of the most important links in the
Kriemhilde line.
Time and again they were thrown
back until late in the day. Then, COW
cred by their own artillery. they were
able to gain its summit and to domi-
nate the country beyond. Patrols now
are well in the Bantheville woods. APP
proximately 1000 prisoners were sent
back.

Financing Rest Room.
In financing a rest room two items of
expense are to be considered-initial
cost of furnishing and the annual cost
of maintenance. A rest room may be
financed wholly or partly by the wom-
ems organizations until arrangements
are made to meet the expenses through
public appropriations. 1t may be
financed through town or county ap-
preparations or by private individuals,
or by any of these in combination.
Usually the permanently established
rest room is located at the town hall
or county courthouse since appropria-
tons can be made annually for the
maintenance of such rooms from pub
lie funds. When financed by private
individuals the money is either q be-
quest or gift, or the money spent for
the rest room is considered by the mer-
chants as bringing returns in increased
trade. In such cases there is no ex-
| pense to the women making use OF the
| room and the value of the cooperation
/ of women's organizations lies in their
| making known the location Of the
room and thus insuring more general
use of it.
