Subscriber Get impestawt War Nsws
Early In Spite of Nc Trains.

Sueecrtbers Oct lmpostawt War Move
Early in Spite oS Nc Trains.
Subscribers OF the Times Republican
living In towns that could not be
reached early Sunday because Of a lack
OF train service. get their copies OF the
extra edition that was printed at 8
o'clock Sunday morning. announcing
the movement for peace by the central
powers. The papers were delivered by
automobiles and drivers who were
mustered from among the force OF the
papers employees.
Three automobiles left the T-R. Of
fee about s o'clock Sunday morning
carrying complete lists OF papers to
territory that could not be reached un-
til today by mail trains. One auto car
r'ed all the papers for all towns be-
tween this city and Grinnell. and an
other took all those for subscribers in
towns north on the NJ. & st, L. as far
north as Hampton. A third\took tho
papers for subscribers as far west on
the Northwestern as Cole. and as far
west on the Story City branch as
Gearing.
BY this extra effort many readers, in
addition to those In the city, received
the hrst news OF the war developments
out Of the Times Republican. which in
most Of these towns was the first paper
TO arrive that carried the news. Times
Republicans were delivered in Lamoille
state Center and Colo at about the
same time that the fast mail arrived
with Chicago papers which contained
nothing OF the offer Of peace. without
the auto service readers living along
the Story City branch would not have
received a paper by mail until today.
Even the later editions of the CHI
,cago Sunday morning papers did not
contain as much of the peace naneuv-
ers as did the extra issued by the
T.-R. Sunday morning. and even this
morning Chicago papers featured the
peace offer to the extent warranted by
the dispatches printed in the T.-R.

| ton agent, states that even tho the

otto call-"Americas bread shall be the
same as that eaten by our allies, 20
per cent substitute" We must still use
the substitute -four in all mixtures
where we can have good results with
out any wheat Hour. such as quick
breads. cakes, cookies. etc.
The United States shipped overseas

tons of wheat and substitutes and we
must ship this year. ending July l. 1919.

The accusation was made by Attorney William H. Lewis of Boston, counsel for Thomas, who asked Burns if the reason he had not gone to the hospital to identify and interview Panell before he died was that he was afraid that Panell, in addition to his statement that a policeman had shot him, would identify Burns as that policeman
 Burns declared that he had not had any such fear and was then asked if a guilty conscience had not kept him from going to the morgue to identify Panell after he was dead again de- clared that it was not his reason Don't you know, Sergeant Burns right down in your heart, that you fired the shot that killed Panell?" de- manded Attorney Lewis, and again Burns answered that he d;d not.

DERNBURG's INTERPRETATION
 OF NEW PEACE OFFER

Amsterdam, Oct. "Militarism has not attained it's aim of peace by an- nexation, violence and oppression-a peace by understanding is coming in- stead,'' said Dr. Bernhard Dernburg, former German minisetr of colonies, speaking at ChemnitZ, Saxony.
 With Prince Maximilian" he add ed, the old German ideal comes to the fore-'not what is useful but what is right and moral
 Such a peace will bring a new era and new and better times will dawn for Germany and the world based on justice in thought and action. A new era means a fundamental revolutionary transformation of governmental sys- tenn for the entire future.
 fMilitarism is an expression of vio- lence without the restriction of au- , thority. It terrorizes the entire state l life
 i President Wilson's fourteen old and i five new points can be accepted by us 1 if put forward honestly without hu-
