Washington, Oct. 81. - Germanys
plea for armistice and peace is before
the allied governments which are to
determine whether they will accept
the Presidents principles Of settle
ment, to which Germany subscribes.
1t is regarded here as a foregone
conclusion that this approval will be
registered and the officers OF the Su-
preme War Council will be invoked to
prepare the fateful document defining
conditions under which Germany may
secure relief from the incessant ham
mering of the allies.
Details of the armistice must be
worked out by the military advisers
Of the governments associated against
Germany.
Officials do not overlook the fact
that a check to the orderly prepara-
tion for armistice may be caused by
the refusal Of the German govern
ment to accept the severe terms out
lined by the President, which have
probably already reached Berlin.
s The present German government It
is said, may refuse terms tantamount
TO surrender and appeal to the German
people to continue the war.
n Ithis connection it is noted that
the present government made plain
that it had no intention OF surrender
ing Alsace Lorraine, a condition Of
peace On which the United States and
allies are thoroughly agreed.
On the other hand, persistent rum
ors continue to reach Washington that
Germany desires peace at any cost
and one report has said demobiliZa-
ton OF the armed forces Of the interior
has already begun.
President Wilson's reply to Ger
many was sent broadcast to the world
from the Arlington naval radio tower
last night after the official text had
been put on the cables. II not picked
up directly by the great German sta
tion at Mauen. it undoubtedly was re-
layed from other points in Europe in
time to reach Berlin this morning.

WOMEN must
REPLACE men.
IN WORK HERE.
Employers Asked to Make Sur
vey and Assist in Replace
ment Where Possible.
MEN NEEDED
FOR WAR WORK
Scarcity Of Labor in Essential
Industries Neccesi-
tates Action.

Employers Of labor in Escambia
county are asked to make a survey
of their employees at once to see what
positions now filled by men can be
cared for by the employment of wo-
rnen. This appeal was made today
by Inspector w. G. Cary of the Uni
ted States Employment Service
whose office is in the city hall. EN-
ployers are especially urged by Mr
Cary to fill with women all positions
claSSed as nOn-eSsential by the state
Council Of National Defense as sug-
gested by Provost Marshal General
Crowder.
There is a great need for laborers
at the Naval Air Station, and at the
local shipyards, just now, and since
most of the needs for agricultural
workers here have been filled, the
government intends to bend all ef-
forts to supplying this need. Hence
the appeal from the federal employ
ment men for a survey of the indus
tries OF the county by all employers.
Men who can work in ship yards.
railroads, saw mills and contract
shops engaged in war material work
are needed here, Mr.. Cary says. There
is also a shortage of carpenters and
building trade laborers, according to
the government men, who This week
completed a careful survey of the
industries in Escambia county work
ing on war contracts.
Should Employ Women
Employers are urged 10 adjust their
affairs at once to comply with the
work or fight regulations published
by the County Council OF Defense here
some weeks ago. No men should be
kept employed at work which women
can do, Mr.. Cary says. He urges no
questioning Of the authority of the
boards of national defense and asks
full cooperation by all employers.
Use of the city hall employment of
flee maintained without cost to en-
pIoyer or employees is urged by both
Mr.. Cary and Mr.. Scott of the EN-
pIoyment Service. Every assistance
is pledged to employers who wish 10
replace men with women and also to
help employees who wish to make
the change from non essential to eS-
sential labor.
Says Labor Is Honorable
We note that numbers of men in
changing from non-essential to es-
sential work do not seem willing to
take job which viii lsoil their hands,
or seemingly lower their position in
life On the other hand, many apply
for positions are asking salaries in
excess of which they were formerly
paid in on-essentia1 work. Many
a man who has held higher posi-
ton in civilian life demanding a
large salary is now fighting in the
trenches over there and any man
should consider even laborers work
a high honor" said Mr.. Cary.
1T may also be said that the dirtier
the muddier and the greaSier he may
become while doing his war work only
adds to his honor and every blister
on his hands brought there through
his work in this great cause may
mean a life saved among our soldiers
and a step nearer to Berlin, Mr..
Cary added

FRENCH OFFICIALS APPROVE
WILSON NOTE BUT DO
NOT EXPECT ARMISTICE

Paris, Oct. 24.-tBy The Associated

among French officials that the latest
note from the President OF the United
States is just what the allies have been
wanting to force upon the enemy
The answer resolves the whole thing
into military question to be decided
by Foch, Haig and Pershing.

impossible as the conditions would be
so unimaginably drastic.

CAMPAIGN TO AUTHORIZE TEN-MILL
TAX FOR SCHOOLS is MEETING
WITH SUCCESS IN ALL SECTIONS
OF ESGAMBIA COUNTY.

The campaign for the ten-miL
amendment to the state constitution
which has been launched in, Escambia
county, is arousinS intense interest
district chairmen are raliyins their
forces, to enlist full voting strength
in the election.
Judge E. D. Beggs, chairman for
Precinct 81. who is an ardent sup
porter of the amendment, yesterday
gave out the following opinion as to
the necessity for the passage of the
amendment, if this county is to go for
ward in educational affairs:
The public schools are vitality i'm
portant for the proper education Of our
children. The pupils in the public
schools Of Escambia county are great
ly increasing in number each year.
Our school houses and their equip
ment are sorely taxed to accommodate
the present pupils.
THE position of teachers of our
children is one of the most import
ant in our community and yet the
salaries paid the teachers are motor
iousiy less than the same person can
earn in other caIlings. And, there
fore, we constantly sec most efficient
teachers reSigning to accept other po-
sitionS.
"The proposed amendment to the
which will be voted on
at the coming election, provides for an
increase in levy to not exceed ten
mills, by the county board Of public
instruction. With this increase our
county board will be all the better
enabled to meet these great needs in
providing for and maintaining our
schools at their highest efficiency.
Let all friends of education do all
in their power to secure the adoption
OF this amendment at the coming cleo
ton -

ALLIES TERMS
OF ARMISTICE
ARE DISCUSSED
MILITARY ADVISERS TO DETERMINE
FORTS TO BE OCCUPIED AND PRE-
CAUTIONS NECESSARY AGAINST
COUP.

Washington, Oct 24.-Discussion cen
tered here today on the probabis
terms of armistiee which may be
formulated by the allied and ATneriaall
military advisers after the allied gov
ernments have considered the German
proposals transmitted by Presiden!
Wilson.
Basic Idea Expressed.
Military opinion here is that Mr.
Wilson has expressed the basic idea
upon which an immediate armiStice
can be reached, The terms to render
the German military power On land
and sea absolutely impotent must be
worked out by the supreme war
council
1t will be the mission OF the mill
tary advisers to translate general prln-
ciples into concrete terms of fortresses
to be occupied, submarine bases to be
placed under guard, munitions plants
to be dismantfed and strategic rail
lines to be secured against German
use. Since an armistice on allied terms
means an end Of the war, attention
also must be given to demobilization
of the German army, in itself a long
process. since the great force could
not be turned back to civil life over
night.
The machinery for formulation OF
the terms already exists. The military
and naval boards of the supreme War
council at Versailles furnish the nat
ural avenue for the assessing of the
views OF the military leaders and
bringing them into harmony in def
mite statement Of the conditions upon
which fighting could come to an end.
Marshal Foch, as supreme commander
and Generals Petain, Haig, Pershing,
Diaz and Gillian. the Belgian chief of
staff, are ex-offfcio members of the
army board and the admiraIs COM
manding the four great navies. British,
French, American and Italian, are ex-
officio members OF the naval board

terms to be drawn up by these mill
tary and naval agencies are to be sub
mitted to the respective governments

cation before they are given to the

grams since it is only armistice condi-
tions and not peace treaties which are
to be considered.
AS to the terms themselves the situ-
alton on land SO far as the western
front is concerned appears simple. To
make certain that the U-boat fleets
are put out of action, however. by
any terms except the surrender of the
submarines themselves appears more
difficult. Occupation of HeIgoland
might serve to bottle up both the sub
marines and the German high seas
fleet so far as the North sea outlets
are concerned, but there is another
gateway, via the kiel canal and the
Skagerrak, passing between neutral
waters.

On the western front, which dem
mates the situation elsewhere if is
regarded as obvious that occupatfon
of the Metz-Thionville .mutterstal-
lung" as the Germans call that great
fortress, would be essential. Specula-
ton in this connection has an unusual
interest here since it is regarded "a
probable that the Germans would i'm
