CONDITION OF JEWS
Great Distress in Poland and
Lithuania

London, Sept. 26, Correspondence
of The Associated Press)-Thous-
ands of Jews in Poland and Lithuania
idle and destitute, are described as
in a "sorry plight by representa-
tive of the Dutch Relief Committee
in the Judische Press of Berlin.
Shortage of raw material and lack
of machinery have cut the means of
earning a livlihood from vast pro-
portion of the Jewish population in
both countries, he says, and the NOR
tality is exceedingly high, particular
ly among the young.
Conditions in Valna are said to be
unusually bad, more than half of the
$1,000 Jews there being in abject
poverty. Deaths which normally
were 8 per cent have risen to 44.4 per
cent and in Warsaw here in 1877 the
rate of mortality showed an increase
of per cent for non-Jcws, the stat
istics show an increase in the death
toll Of Jews Of q per cent.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S
INTERPRETATIONS
Asks Who the Chancellor Represent

Washington, October 8-President
Wilson has met Germany's peace
note with a move which will at. one
stroke develop whether her proposal
is sincere or merely pretension, and,
if pretensicn it be, will fully justify
for all time before the world prolong-
ing of the war with force to the ut
most, force without stint OF limit At
the same time the President has left
wide open the door for peace.
The Presidents note here follows:
'Before making reply to the re-
quest OF the Imperial German Gov
ernment and in order that that reply
shall be as candid and straightfor-
ward as thz momentous interests in
volved require, the President of the
United States deems it necessary to
assure himself of the exact meaning
Of the note of the Imperial Chan
cellor.
"Does the Imperial Chancellor
mean that the Imperial German Gov
ernment accepts the terms laid down
by the President in his address to the
Congress of the United States on the
9Th of january last and in subsequent
addresses and that its object in en-
tering into discussions would be only
to agree upon the practical details Of
their application?
"The President feels bound to say
with regard to the suggestion of an
arnistice that he would not feel at
liberty to propose a cessation of arms
to the overnments with which the
government of the United States is
associated against the Central Pow
ers so long as the armies of those
powers are upon their soil. The
good faith of any discussion would
manifestly depend upon the consent
of the CcE,tTal Powers Immediately to
withdraw their forces everywhere
from invaded territory.
"The President also feels that he is
justified il asking whether the I'M
perial Chancellor is speaking merely
for the constituted authorities of the
empire who have so far conducted
the war He deems the answer to
these questions vital from every point
of view

TREACHERY BY
! GERMAN OFFICER
His Actions Condemned by His Own
Comrades

With the American Army in Field,
Sept. 27-(Correspondence of the
Associated Press)-An instance of
cowardly treachery on the part of a
captured German officer who had
been wounded and who had been Of
fered help by an American officer is
told by Lieutenant Edward Nichols,
Of Jamaica, N. Y.
After the last big drive of the
Allies in August, Lieutenant Nichols
was placed in charge of a company
of soldiers whose task it was to clear
the field of American dead and
wounded Although his duties did
not require him to aid the German
wounded on the field until the Am
orleans were disposed of, Lieuten-
ant Nichols, who is only % years
old, went to the assistance of a Ger
man infantry officer who seemed
more than any OF his comrades to be
in need of succor.
The Lieutenant was in the act of
unfastening his canteen and giving the
wounded man a drink of water when
the German drew a revolver while
the unsuspecting Americans face
was turned, and aimed it at the head
of his rescuer.
Before he could pull the trigger,
however, a quick-witted American
sergeant plunged his bayonet through
the Germans heart. The German s
act was condemned even by his cap
turcd comrades.

Last Drop of Blood to Keep
Alsace
Berne, Oct. 8-The German EN-
pefor, addressing the German sol
diers at Rufach, Alcase, late in
September, said:
Neither the French nor the AM

ksith the last drop of our blood
these provinces which belong to us
to administer as his stewards, and
we shall keep them for the benefit
of their inhabitants and the glory OF
God.
"Our faithful allies are with US in
this. The last drop of blood of

dier, the last drop of blood of every
Bulgarian and Turkish soldier viii

from us land which belongs to Ger
many.
"Our enemies cannot and will not
succeed. We arc under divine pro-
teetion."

CAMBRIA HAS FALLEN
THE GREATEST BATTLE OF
The WAR NOW IN PROGRESS
LONDON THE SAME
BUT IN MOURNING
A Canadian Captain Says it Was /;
Revelation to Him

Revelation to Him
Following is an extract from let
ter written by Capt A. E. Allen of
the Canadian forces upon reaching
London:
Poor old London! She is the
same, but in mourning. Dim street
lights and very little traffic make
the streets look doleful, But the
gloom of the evenings and nights is
not reflected by the people They
are wonderful!
If only some people from every
city, town, and village in the States
could come over here and see and
talk with these men and women, who
have put in three years of war, every
one having family losses and in all
cases financial sacrifices that change
their whole mode of life! Inconven-
fences of every kind, and real ones;
and yet, every man and woman just
as cheerful, bright, and determined
as if the war was to start tomorrow.
1t makes one feel like going up to
every one Of them and giving them
the V. C. Gentlewomen driving cars,
running all the hotels, all the busi-
ness offices-on the subways, in the
restaurants, in the factories-every-
where setting an example to their
poorer sisters of what real grit is,
and as cheerful and with the same
grace and politcness that they used
to have in their own drawing rooms.
Every one has some definite work
to do, and they start at about SIX
years old! There is no such thing
as the British army being at war;
the British nation, down to the chill
dren and up to the old people, is at
war; and it's the most wonderful and
inspiring sight any man ever saw.
Of course, France, Germany, and
the other European nations are the
same, but it's a revelation to one
from the other side of the water.
Undoubtedly the United States would
be the same if the occasion ever
came, but | trust it never may.
The saying that the United States
doesn't realize that it is at war IS
putting the fact too mildly, and we
can only pray that the job will be
finished before the necessity ever
comes; but, on the other hand, the
almost inhun1an trials and sacrifices
they are making over here are breed
ing new race of men and women
who are going to be head and Shout
ders over the last generation. Hea-
ven only knows, | am loyal Cana
dian, and | have always been more
proud of what Canada and Canadl-
ans have done in this war. But now
| can almost blush at the thought.
We don't know we are at war as
compared with the English, take it
any way you want. Men-everyone
in some war work; not some-all.
| Women all working for the cause.
Money-everybody giving, not their
surplus, their all. You can not begin
to realize what this nation has done,
and I am afraid the world will not
know it for years, because they do
it so quietly-no talking, no boast
ing; it's all taken for granted, Eng
land needs them and all they pos
scss, and of course they give it.
| could write on for hours, be-
cause this is all revelation to me
and fascinates me.
