ticularly interesting story whose chief
characteristics are simplicity and
dramatic sincerity While the lighter
elements of comedy Of the human in.

little girl reared in a remotely stu.
ated village by her parents, who are

haven in which to practice his pro.
fession of writing at Faiths home
one day, and it's subsequent effect
on her whole life is Interestingly
told in a series of closely related in

OPINION IS UNANIMOUS
Leading Britishers Oppose Com

London Paper Publishes Messages
From Mayors Of Many
Large Cities.

London, Oct 22.-The Daily Tele-
graph, as proof of the futility of Ger
man attempts to weaken the will Of
the British people by peace talk, pub
fishes a series Of messages from the
mayors Of more than SO English and
other towns, representing every
phase Of municipal life. They all
breathe but one spirit, namely, that
there must be no compromise with the
foe. o..
r. Allies Will Name Terms.
Following are messages from few
of the principal towns: ...
Birmingham-"German must be re-
quired to accept the terms imposed by
the Allies and stern justice must be
melted out"
Bradford-"After what Germany has
done, there must be no compromise. Il
is absolutely essential that there
should be British supremacy of the
seas"
Cardiff "Any compromise with Ger
many would be fatal. The German
navy must be handed over" ."*@
Hull-"The Allied troops should &C.
cupy Essen and march to Berlin"
Blackburn-'To bargain with the
Germans is unthinkable after the his
tory of the last four years."
BlackpoolT"The Germans asked for
. good hiding and deserve to get it. -

London, Oct 22.-The text of the
German reply to President. Wilson's
note has been received here by wire
less. Germany hopes the United
States will approve of no demand
which would be irreconcilable with
the honor of the German people and
with the opening of the way to a
peace of Justice -,
Germany protests against the refer
ences in President Wilson's note to
illegal and inhumane acts. Denial Is
! made that the German navy purposely
destroyed lifeboats with passengers.

that the Facts be cleared up by neu-

Germany has dispatched orders to

Stall, Want to Talk. ~,
The German government suggests
to President Wilson that IAN opportu-
nifty be brought about for fixing the
details of the evacuation of occupied
territories." .a..--..... e.s.
Germany agrees with the President
that the military leaders shall arrange
an armistice and the terms for the
evacuation Of occupied territories. De-
NAL is made that the Germans have
been unnecessarily destructive in re-
firing from occupied territory.
1t is admitted the German people
previously had no word in making war
and peace. The new government. re-
Gently formed under Prince Maxi
milian the reply says, is responsible
to the reichstag and is supported by
the German people, and it is this gov
eminent with which the President is
dealing. The new government, it is
declared. has undertaken to alter the
constitution of the German empire to
give the representatives of the people
power over the government.

in unofficial FORM
Text Of Note Is in President Wilson'S
Hands, but He Is Waiting for
Official Communication Be-
fore Replying.

Washington, Oct. %. - Germany's
reply to President Wilson's last note
to the Berlin government is not ex-
pected to bring peace. MS.
+ Neither will there be an armistico
until Germany has evacuated every
inch of occupied Allied soil. ., -
The question of an armistice will
then rest with Marshal Foch, who will
determine whether the guarantees
which Germany is willing to give are
sufficient to continue the supremacy
of the Allied arms. - 7> .;s5 s
Germapy's peace offensive has fall
ed and her specious cry of "Kamerad
has fallen on the deaf ears OF world
which has learned to take nothing for
granted from the German government.
Unofficial Note at White House.
This is the judgment of Washington
on the note, which was in the hands
of the President in unofficial form.
The note gives another indication of
the naive manner in which the Ger
man official mind looks at things.
1t suggests the appointment Of .
neutral commission to ascertain
whether or not it has been guilty OF
inhuman acts in it's submarine war
fare. This is the reason why the
United States went to war with Ger
many, but the German mind, still
stepped in its own self-deception, as
sumes to believe that the American
government would submit to q neutral
discussion the causes which led It to-
enter the war against Germany.
The situation, as it presents itself,
is, that Germany is desperately in want
Of peace. 1t wants an armistice more
so it can withdraw its army from Bel
gium and Northern France and then
be in better position to bargain over
the terms of peace. ~
Germany Knows Defeat.
Germany is definitely beaten, and
recognizes the fact-that much Is GER
tain. .
Apparently her rulers have not
sensed some of the things in President
Wilson's last reply. She is oblivious
to the fact that the President has said
that the present government of Ger
many cannot be dealt with. Germany
replies to this with protestations -
to her honor and resents interference
with her internal affairs.
She is oblivious to the fact that the
President has said that evacuation Of
Allied soil is precedent to an armis-
tice She is evacuating Allied soil
now. but finds it difficult to do so with
Foch on her heels. Tremendous losses
must be entailed before the German
army is extricated, and that Is what
Germ ny seeks to avoid and 1t 10 Just
t,,a. which the Allied commanders in
sis iii! happen. The President's dec
'a~aticn is clear. They must evacuate
all Allied sell and must right the
wrong done France in the robbery Of
Easel Lorraine before an armistice
can be considered
F. 81; render Only Way Out.

E--r1y can Go this and avoid the pun

Worlds Market NeUs
GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, July 2o.-Corn smashed
down in value this week, influenced
to a great extent by victory news
from France. Compared with'a week
ago, the market this morning was
q ga to 8 3-8 cents net lower. oats
were down 1901 cent and pro-
visions varying from ;15 cents decline
to SO cents advance. -.
BY far the biggest downward sweep
Of corn prices came after the allies
had successfully demonstrated power
to attack on a grand scale. Soaking
rains and big receipts, had done much
beforehand to. undermine the bulls
and SO likewise had President Wilson'S
veto Of the bill to enhance the price
Of wheat. The finish Of the wheat
harvest in the southwest and the TACT
that wheat premiums over the gov
eminent guaranteed minimum were
almost a thing Of the past, tended also
to pull down corn.
Wet weather delays to cutting and
threshing kept the oats market steady.
Bullish crop reports from North. Da-
kota and Canada were also effective
in minimizing pressure to sell.
Provisions were upheld largely by
reports that government orders for
supplies would soon be placed. on a
liberal scale. .

ing the election of a warm personal
supporter and Democrat, whom he
had urged to run. In Michigan, a Re-
publican state, where there is a d.
vision between the Republicans, the
president has invited Mr.. Ford, a for
mer Republican, who rarely voted,
and an extreme pacifist before the
war, to become the Democratic can
didate, with a view to securing anoth-
er thick and thin supporter in the sem
ate. Politics was not adjourned in
these acts. Such a policy Of so-called
non-partisanshtp, If carried to success,
will result in a Democratic congress
completely subject to the discipline of
the administration, furnishing no
stimulus and no impulse to prompt
action.
I. IF we had to have a Democratic
congress in 1917, it was better for the
country that the president should be
a Democrat. Otherwise the declaration
Of war, proper preparation for it, and
tie passage Of the CONSUMPTION act
would have been very doubtful. But
now the situation is different. Now we
need a Ficpublics.1 congress tt call for
and insist upon adequate preparation
and to formulate legislation to this
end. Such a congress will in every way
back UP and sustain the Democratic
president in winning the war"

Attendance Of Brokers Small

New York. July 2o.-Stocks3 were
extremely sluggish at the opening OF

the usual conditions at this period OF
the year. Attendance of brokers was
small but interest in the war situation
continued keen. Trading in the first
half hour was Of the most trivialA
character. In the active group the
only issue to vary more thar a frac-
ton was Sumatra tobacco, which
gained i 1-2 points. Liberty bonds
were steady.
Specialties controlled by pools were
the only diverting features of today's
stagnant stock market. Industrial
Alcohol and Sumatra Tobacco gained
from three to Jour points with a point
each for distillers an dtobacco prod
ucts., The balance Of the list held
firm but the demand for investment
and high grade issues was nominal at
best. United States advanced a large
fraction but related shares were vart-
able. Pacific Mail gained 1 1-2 and
