Differences To Be Settled
Before Peace IS Secured

The recent Allied victories have made
an amazing change in the tone of the Ger
man rulers and the German press. Tn
to July there was but one demand from
the rulers who have brought the German
empire to the point where il j. now prac-
tIcally al the mercy of thoroughly ang-
cred world, and that demand was that
Germany be repaid for the blood ard
treasures wasted in her frmtIess endeav-
or to bring the world Inder the domina
ton of the Hun "kultur." As an illustra.
tion of the gradual decline Of The German
hope for German victory ard a German
peace-a decline hurried BY the recent
great victories of the Allics-the follow
ing statements by German rulers are in
teresting:
In April and May, when the German
troops were forcing the Allies back on
the French front, several weeks before
The Americans stepped into the breach

road to Paris 10 The then victorious HIM
Emperor William said:
"The world war cannot terminate \,
any other manner than BY the complete
victory OF Germany over an her enemies.
The last few months have brought us suc-
cesses which Justify our title to the
strong peace which shall open roads to
victorious German commerce.
In July, after the great drive on the
Marne, the future looked less roseate "a
the emperor for he said: .Tke worst
days of this war are still in store for
Germany"
IN September, after the Allies had
hurled back the German invaders and
were breaking through the Hindenburr
me, the situation apparently looked seri-
Gus TO the emperor, for he said: aTbs
herman people are fully aware of the
gravity of the present struggle which
will decide its future,

The Liberty Loan drive started on its
second week this morning. and there II
still large amount OF the Cameron
county quota To be raised. During the
last DAYS of the week the drive slowed
up perceptibly, through no fault OF the

evident that the hope OF Cameron county

the drive had "gone a-gimmerng."
With the opening of the second week ct
the drive the workers are again N the

mination To make it the last week IN the
city of Brownsville there are still ap-
proximatelv six hundred persons who
subscribed for the third loan who have
not yet subscribed for the fourth loan. II

WATER MAINS
BEING PUT IN
WHOLESALE
DISTRICT
BY CITY

Adequate fire protection in the whole
sale district of the city. which has long
been matter of grave concern To the
wholesalers, will be provided in the near
future by the new main the city j. now
putting down IN that section. Eight inch
piping j. being used for the new main.
connection being made at Fifth and ST.
Francis streets. From the point Of con
nection the main runs to Fronton on
Fifth street. and along Fronton from
Fifth to Tenth streets, ending near the
ice factory.
The principal object of putting in this
water main J. to supply the wholesale
district with more adequate fire protec-
ton. Under existing conditions the fire
plugs are too far from the buildings. In
most eases il would bc necessary to string
hose lines for two blocks IN order ~ com
bat any fire which might break out in
that section. and a. a result insurance
rates have been very high. The new main
brings the fire plugs directly in front Of
the buildings. and will furnish means of
successfully fighting any fire that NAV
break out. aS well as assuring sufficient
supply Of water for all other purposes.

GERMAN PEACE Talk
May Be CAMOUFLACE
To SECURE MORE Time
Belief Expressed In Washington That
Germany Either Sparring for Time or
Trying To I,ynve Liberty Loan Drive
(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.l

Washington. Oct. THE newest peace
proposals cf the German government, as
quoted in dispatches from Amsterdam,
differed from the propositions emlnating
from Vienna in tone and wording, but not
in substance Both governments appar-
entity accept President Wilson's main
principles as cnuncsated in his speeches
of August III ana y. They do not, how
ever, accept these - a basis Of peace,
but simply as Il basis Tor negotiations.
In the general discussion Of the pro-
posals two thoughts were voiced IN many
quarters, one was that the Germans are
sparring for time and the other j. that
the offer coming al this time was intend
ed to affect the Liberty Loan campaign
by creating the impression among the
American people that the war l. mt an
end
That the American people may not be
msed into relaxing their efforts for the
fourth Liberty Loan and that the Ameri-
can troops in the field may know ut once
the position of their government, and that
the peace offer may receive such diplo-
matte attention as it deserves, it seems
agreed in official circles here that the
German note, irrespective Of its nature,
demand an immediate reply.
