sued from the White House last night
as follows:
''The White House, oct. 1.-THE
reply of the German government to
my note of inquiry, dated onsoctober

fellow w-countrymen that neither that
reply nor any other recent events
have in any way diminished the vital
importance of the Liberty Loan. Re-
taxation now, hesitation now, would
mean years OF war Instead Of peace
upon our terms. i.t

American to leave to the governments

PARIS. Oct. 15.--France stands
finn on the Berlin proposition. The
people showed practically no excite

cisely as usual. Newspapers are
unanimous In declaring the allies

antees. Deputy Paul Meunir said;
I'VE are living In the most tragic mos
ment OF the history OF all centuries
One lone man can now decide the
worlds fate. This man is worthy of
his unprecedente6 role and all hu-
manity has rs eyes fixed on him.

u Wilson's diplomatic history: ''The
floor no longer belongs to Wilson. II
belongs tp General Foch. who by vir-
tue OF his office represents all gem
c'"i stnffs and all tentente belliger-
ents. Germany must either recognize

nize defeat but attempt escape

Representative mining men of
northern Idaho, through their

Whether or not the board will
decide for state insurance eX-
