GERMAN PRESS DIVIDED

COPENHAGEN, Oct. Z0.-1ne Berlin
Lokdl Anseiger says that new note
will be sent by Germany to Presi-
dent Wilson as soon as possible. A
Grown Council under the presidency
Of the Emperor, lasting several hours,
reached this decision Friday.
The note, 1t is asserted, will point
out the changes which have taken
place in the German constitution.
LONDON, Oct. 26.-Despatches from
countries contiguous TO Germany
which are relied on at the present
time to furnish news of the swiftly
changing events in that country say
the feeling there has been divided
by the last answer of President Will
son in the attempted German arm
istice and peace negotiations. At the
same time discussion In Germany
has turned to the possible abdica-
tion of Emperor Wilhelm, and the
newspapers openly are debating
whether this action will be necessary
for Germany to obtain peace.
According to the view of one fac
tion in Germany President Wilson
will not insist upon the abdication OF
the Emperor as essential, but will
he satisfied with the Democratic de-
velopment Of the German political
Institutions. The Frankfort ZcitunG
says the Kaiser Is confronted with
the greatest difficulties in making the
personal decision whether Germany
shall surrender or negotiate. The
paper expresses the hope that the
Emperor will make n speedy and
clever decision"
The split In German feeling is be-
tween the Conservative, military and
Junker papers on one side. and the
Liberals on the other. The first COM
bination insists that President Wilson
intends to subjugate and annihilate
Germany, but the Liberals express APP
probation at the Wilson effort toward
worldwide pacifism.

gary Is slowly but surely cracking
under the war strain and will cease to
be a military factor before many more
days, according to advices reaching
here.
There is unanimity of opinion here
both in diplomatic circles and in quar-
ters close to the Administration re-
Sardins the impending collapse OF
Austria, and definite reliable reports
from neutral countries indicate tina;
the breakup Of the Dual Monarchy IL
coming even faster than suspected. As
yet there is no confirmation Of the
reports that the Austro- Hungar rian
army is preparing to demobilize,
But the report from Copenhagen
that preparations are being made for
the demobilizat!on caused little sur
prise even though officials do not ex-
pect action to come at once.

The general belief Is that the Aug

ing to surrender and throw itself on
the mercy OF the Entente Govern

further efforts TO keep up so-callod

officials said to-day they expected 20
see Turkey run up the white nag OF sur
render through an appeal 10 the British
and French commanders on the field, ex-
pecting to get approximately the same
terms that we're given Bulgaria.
II is understood here that Senator
Lodge tMass,) and other Republican
leaders fully expect 10 see Austria Hun
gary collapse. and believe that one rea-
son for this Is the fact that President
Wilson snuffed out all hope OF regotia-
tions In his dealings with the Austro-
Hungarian Government and thereby de-
prived the HapsburEs OF the opportunity
Of instilling hopes into the people on the
ground that negotiations for peace had
been opened with President Wilson.

Gen March said. the Allies advanced
rapidly eastward across the plains Of
Flanders to the line OF the canal which
runs from Eede on the Dutch frontier to
Deynze on the Lys, where the enemy had
stopped his retreat and had organized
his resistance. BY this advance the area
In Belgium occupied by the Allies has
been increased 10 1900 square miles, five
times as much as the Allies held on
July is.
South of the Belgian frontier, in
French Flanders and Artois, the enemy
withdrew quickly from Lille and DouaI

FEED FROM FISH AND OFFAL
Material Produced in Form Of Meal Be-
Ieved Valuable for Both
Swine and Cattle.

A factory has been started at Ymui-
den, at the entrance to the North sea
Canal, for transmitting the least de-
sirable fish and fish Offal into q sat
iSfactOry food for swine, writes Con-
sui Frank w. Mahin, Amsterdam,
Netherlands. This is considered Of
double importance-it feeds the swine
and also frees articles (maize, for ex-
ample) usually fed to swine, for other
purposes, even for human food
Spoiled fish have been fed to swine,
but with bad effect on the taste of the
pork. The new factory. it is stated,
makes "vischmeel" Qiterally, fish
mead from the material it uses, which
product, analysis shows, contains So
per cent albumen and II per cent
fat, and also realizes an oil that after
suitable publication, could be used in
competition with cod-liver oil, or In
any case could be very useful az an In
dustrial oil.
1t is suggested that besides feed
ing swine with this new product IL be
tried with cattle, as possible aid In
the serious situation which now ex-
lists In regard TO feeding live stock.
The new factory Is considered OF
great Importance in scientific circles,
and hope Is expressed that the govern
ment as well ms the general public
Will give II earnest support as a mat
ter Of national concern.

ness at the Wall Of WaiIing
In Jerusalem.

Strange sights must have been wit
messed within the last few days at
the wall of wailing In Jerusalem. the
place Of lamentatlon where for gem
eratiops Jews have congregated to be-
wall the sorrows OF their race.
Tears of JOY that Jerusalem is at
last freed from the Mohammedan
clutch must have fallen upon stones
that have been so often wet with tears
of grief.
Many visitors from America have
threaded their way through dark and
dirty alleys to the small paved area
where the Jews Of Jerusalem have la
mented their heritage The wall Is
said TO be the ancient retaining wall
of Solomon's temple, the nearest place
TO the Holy Of Holes that the Moham-
MADAM masters allowed the Jews to
approach.
Here every day, and especially on
Fridays, the mourners leaned against
the great stones of the wall, wept
and chanted their lltanies. Their sim
certify was unquestionable. The stones
were literally wet with tears and there
was no installing the sorrow that
shook their voices as they repeated the
seventy ninth psalm, with its somber
opening.

GINSENG MARKET IN CHINA
Depression in Business Reported Past
Year, Sale Of the Root Being
Much Below Normal.

The market for ginseng In Hong
kong and the China field generally
Is depressed. and dealers look for lit
tie revival in the trade until well to-
ward Chinese New Year. Usually
there is a quickening i'm the trade as
cool weather comes on. but so far the
past year, and in spite OF the high ex-
change value Of silver which ought to
stimulate the trade, the sale of the
root has been much below normal.
says Consul General George +. An
derson Hongkong. Arrivals have been
below normal and the demand has
not kept pace with the supply. An auc-
ton of a lot of American root on con-
signment recently brought fair prices.
Two days later q similar lot of as good
II not better root sold for little more
than half the price brought by the first
lot, and private sales made later were
on a still lower level. Uncertain DO
litical conditions in the interior of
China are given as the chief reason
for the present slump in demand but
uncertain financial conditions due to
the export of silver and copper coin
age from the provinces as well as the
existence of piracy and other disorders
in some districts have also had ma
terial influence.
Sales have been irregular and the
market may improve at any time. The
root OH hand of course will get the
benefit of the improvement while that
held in the United States will probably
arrive too late to secure full returns
The ginseng business and all similar
lines of trade in China are in an un-
certain state and little reliance can
be placed upon the continuance of any
conditions.
