SEES KAlSEgS END
Sees In Him the Worlds Final
Emperor

In commenting peace proposals
the VoIks Zeitung, of Leipsic,
Saxony, is quoted ID a dispatch
from Switzerland as saying:
In the minds OF the German
people responsibility for the pres
ent situation centers more and
moro clearly each day on the
person of the emperor.
We see in William IL the last
German military monarch. He
must feel that he can no longer be
what he has thought himself since
the first day of his reign-an ms
trument sent oy God and above all
the chief of the most. brilliant and
best organized army.
I'm 1888 the emperor said he
would sacrifice is army corps and
100000 inhabitants rather than
give up a single stone conquered
by his father. Two million dead
are more than Is army corps
The emperor always has asked
great patriotic sacrifices from his
subjects. 1t is now for him to
show his spirit of sacrifice aud
withdraw. He would thus give a
brilliant example of his under
standing of the times and would
permit the German people to OBJ
tain better peace terms"

NOVEMBER ELECTION
Important Election to Be Held
in Two Weeks

The regular November election
will be held in a little over two
weeks. There seems to be no in-
terest manifested in the contest
and it is believed only a small vote
will be polled.
Tuesday, November 5, the vot-
ers of the state will be called upon
to elect a governor, a member Of
the United States senate, a railroad
commissioner, members OF con-
gress and members of the state
senate and house of representatives.
This is an important election and
every patriotic citizen, who can
possibly do so. should 60 to the
bolls and vote his choice.
The democrats of the county
should give enough attention to
this election to 60 to the polls and
vote. The party has a most ex-
cellent ticket and one that should
be elected.

RACES. His explanation of his trip
shows that it was taken to pave
the way for war on a great scale.
In referring to the war he said:
Whatever the result Of the
peace proposals, the war depart
ment must proceed at full speed
with men and supplies, and the
people must support the army I'M
til the boys are back with the fruits
of victory safe and assured. If
every American could haye seen
our boys in khaki as they stormed
the German trenches, assaulted
with shrapnel, high explosives and
machine guns, he would be eager
to subscribe his all to the Liberty
Loan, the success of which after
all is the measure of our support
of the cause for which these boys
are giving their lives"
AS to the purpose of bis six
weeks visit in Europe Mr.. Baker
said:

FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
A Call to the People of Carroll
County

Those having charge of the Lib
erty Loan Campaign have issued
the following card:
To the People of Carroll County:
We, the undersigned committee
for the Fourth Liberty Loan Bond
Issue, desire to call attention to a
few facts. The first apportion-
ment, as we understood it to be for
Carroll county, wasi 1922, 900, and
on this basis an apportionment was
published in the newspapers for
each civil district. A few days
following the publication in the
Carroll county papers we we're ad-
vised from St. Louis that the ap-
portionment to Carroll county was
$251,0 a difference of $4,000
against us. We did not make any
further apportionment, believing
in the patriotism of our people
and that they would buy the bonds
equal to the $25l, 1000, if not a
greater sum,
The drive will close on the 10th
of this month. which is Saturday
of this week. 1t should be the
pride of every ..citizen in Carroll
county that we sell ithe 1921, 900.
Reports that we now have, indicate
that we have sold about 5000, 1000.
Some districts have sent in no re-
port. As to whether they have
done anything or not, we are not
advised, 1t is to be hoped that
they have sold their apportion-
ment and more.
1t is our intention next week to
give to the press what each dis
trict has done, as we feel that each

WILSON REJECTS PLEA
Tells the German that AutOcracy
Must Vanish

President Wilson Monday In
formed Germany that the only
condition upon which an armistico
can be granted is that atrocities on
land and sea must cease.
He also gave notice that auto
cracy must 90 before real peace
can come.
When the time to consider an
armistice comes, the president said,
the military advisers of the Uaited
States and the allies will be con-
suited and no military advantage
Of the armies fighting the central
powers will be lost.
The text Of the presidents an
swer follows:
The unqualified acceptance by
the present German government
and by a large majority of the
reichitag of terms laid down by
the President of the United States
of American in his address to the
congress of the United States on
the 9th of January, 1918, and in
his subsequent addresses iusti6es
the president in making a frank
and direct statement of his decision
with regard to the communications
of the German government of the
9Th and 18th of October, 1918.
1T must be clearly understood
that the process of evacuation and
the conditions of an armistice are
matters which must be left to the
judgment and advice of the mil
itary advisers of the government
of the United States and the allied
governments, and the president
feels it his duty to say that no ar
rangement can be accepted BY the
Of the United States
which does not provide absolutely
safeguards and qua
rantees of the maintenance of Il 9
present military supremacy of the
armies of the United States and
the allies in the field.
He feels confident that he can
safely assume that this will also be
the judgment and decision of the
allied governments.
The president feels that it is
also his duty to add that neither
the government of the United
States nor, he is quite sure, the
governments with which the gov
eminent of the United States is as
sociated as a belligerent will con-
sent to consider an armistice SO
long as the armed forces Of Ger

CHAPTER XIII.
Five Days In an Empty House.

FiSe Lays III an Empty Rouse.
The five days / spent In that house
seemed to me like five years. During
all that time had very little to eat
less in fact than had been getting in
the fields. / did not feel 1t so bad, per-
haps, because Of the fact that was no
longer exposed to the other privations
which before had combined to make
my condition so wretched. now had a
good place to sleep, at any rate, and L
did not wake every half hour or so as
! had been accustomed to do in the
fields and woods, and, of course, my
hunger was not aggravated by the
physical exertions which had been
necessary before.
Nevertheless, perhaps because I had
more time now to think Of the hunger
pains which were gnawing at me all
the time, don't believe 1 was ever so
miserable as 1 was at that period of
my adventure. I felt so mean towards
the world / would have committed
murder, think, with very little prov
ocation.

house at all hours of the day. l

1 was concealed was supposed to 81
untenanted.
Because of the fact that I was IN
able to speak either Flemish or Ger
man / could not go out and buy food
although 1 still had the money witt
which TO do it. That was one of the
things that CALLED one-the thought
that 1 had the wherewithal in my
jeans to buy all the food 1 needed and
yet no way Of getting it without en-
dangering my liberty and life.
At night, however, after it was dark,
l would steal quietly out of the house
to see what could pick up in the way
OF food. By that time, of course, the
stores were closed. but 1 secured the
streets, the alleys and the byways foI
scraps of food and occasionally got VI
courage enough to appeal to Belgian
peasants whom l met on the streets
and In that way 1 managed to keeI
body and soul together.
1t was quite apparent to me, how
ever, that 1 was worse off in the city

sat on the top stair and wondered just
what he would do. Would he try to
