 Translation -Of German goverr- ment to the president of the United States as trarsf1ted BY the charge daffairs A. l. of Switzerland on Oc- tober 6th 1918.
 The German government request the president of the United States of America to take steps for the res toration of peace, TO notify all hellig- erents of this request, and to invite them to delegate plenipotentiaries for the purpose of taking Up negotiations. The German government accepts as basis for the associations the pre- gram laid down by the president of the United States in his message to con gress of January Sth, 1918, and in his subsequent pronouncements, partic- ularly in his address of September 27th 1918. In order to avoid further bloodshed the German government requests to bring about the immed- fate conclusion of a German armis. tice on land on water, and in the air.

 The text of the communication handed to the charge of Switzerland here follows
 Sir have the honor to acknow- Hedge, on behalf of the President, your note of October 9th. enclosing the communication from the German government to the President. and am instructed by the President th request you to make the following communication to the Imperial Ger man Chancelor:
 Before making reply to the re- quest of the lmprial German govern ment and in order that reply shall be as candid and straightforward as tho momentous interests inyoVed require the President of the Unlled States deems it necessary to assure himself of the exact meaning of the note Of the Imperial Chancellor. Does the Imper- ial Chancellor mean that the Imperia German government accepts the terms laid down by the Presiddent in his ad- dress to the Congress of the United States on the Sth of January last anc in subsequent addresses and that ifs object in entering into discussions would be only to agree upon tht practical details of their applica- tion?"
 The President feels bound to say with regard to the suggestion or aI armistice that he wouldd not feel at liberty to propose cessation o arms to the governments with whicf 1 the government of the United States | is associatedd against the Centra { Powers, so long as the armies Of those , powers are upon their soil. The goot faith of any discussion would mani 1 festly depend upon the consent of tho ! Central powers Immediately to with draw their forces everywhere from invaded territory

Harry Lander, who has just come
from France, tells in the January
American Magazine Of a visit he paid
to hospital in France. He says:
"The Huns do not know of such
word as mercy. In one OF our hos
pitfalls found a poor fellow who had
one eye and half his face blown
away. When he talked, dis mouth
was so hideous it was difficult to
look upon him. 1t was sickening to
gaze at that poor creature.
"Yet, when I asked him how he
had received his injuries, he tried to
smile as he told ME the story.
1t was fountain pen that did
that for me-, he said. 4 was one of
the first to reach trench that the
Huns had just vacated, and looking
down on the floor of the dugout l
happened to see a fountain pen.
Thinking to write to my wife and
children with it, stuck it in my
pocket. A few days later, having a
minutes time, I pulled it out and
unscrewed the cap and when
l woke up l was as you see me now.
1t was filled with dynamite, that,
fountain pen. and was just another
trick Of the Huns to wound and
cripple our men. But I'm mighty
glad sir that they we're fooled in
one respect, at least. They probably
expected to bag half dozen Of our
boys, but all they got was just me.
"Crippled beyond description, suf-
fering the agonies Of the damned,
his one consoling thought was all
they got was just mel"

Bilbao Offers opportunitIes.

Bilbao is said to be the wealthiest
city i'm Spain, the weathiest of it's size
In Europe. This is due to it's large
deposits of iron ore and their close
proximity to tidewater. The province
in which il is situated has proven ore
fields of more than 1000 acres and
more than 1900 acres are not yet de-
veloped. The ore is rich I'm iron, prac-
tically free from phosphorus and is
easily worked-what is known In this
country as II scraper proposition. The
great war has vastly increased the
capitalization Of the concerns operat-
ing there and the banks of Bilbao have
deposits of S354. 7SS,719 apart from the
resources OF the Bank of Spain and
branches OF other powerful banks. The
field for development is great the cap
italists are progressive, labor is cheap.
Spain has remained neutral In the war,
though no friend OF Germany, and 1t
is thought the Bilbao iron fields will
offer an attractive sphere for American
engineering talent and American cap

TALE OF SUPREME DEVOTION
Romance Of AbeIard and HeIoise
Will Never Die.

| Romance never dies, for lovers are
born each springtime and the heart
OF the world is always young
And so 1t is that to the modern thun-
der of the guns bombarding Soissons
Is set the tune Of an old, old romance
that has spun like gOld-and-scarlet
thread through eight changeful CEN
turies, spun and spun, and lost none
OF Its color. none of its appeal. And
the story winds about the town of
Soissons and ends In crumbling old
tower dropping to Its last decay.
And the romance was the tragedy
or Abelard and Heloise, lovers who
have typitied the passion of devotion
to all the lovers of the universe. The
story itself was not uncommon-the
love of teacher for his beautiful pu-
pill her winning and her undoing. The
tale of Faust has the same harsh note
or betrayal. But 1t Is the supreme de-
vOtion of Abelard and HelOise that
make them types; that, and the setting
OF the romance which ran through
fariS and other towns, and drew to
a close I'm the tower where Abelard
was prisoner OF those prosecutors
who held his writings to be seditious
His marriage to Heloise, his renunci-
alton of her, and the final taking, by
Doth OF them, of the vows that sent her
to nunnery and him to monastery,
all OF this availed him nothing There
In the town Of SoisSOns, lighted now
by the blaze of bursting shells, he was
lnI tn
MS book in which was set forth the
"heresy" of which he was accused.
What contrast between the feeble
light OF that burning manuscript and
the flare of the battle we are waging
foi the liberties of the world
And yet the burning OF that book
was momentous event at the Sois-
sons council OF ecclesiastics.
But Abelard had been a great teach
er, and all the country had throbbed
and thrilled with the serial story of
his romance with the beautiful He
iolse. And so, in the later years tray-
elers have turned aside from the beat
en- tracks and sought the old tower on
the outskirts Of the French town for
n glimpse OF the prison where he Ian
guished. The steps were worn In
grooves by the thousands Of feet that
went as on pilgrimage to the shrine
Of perfect love.
There today the guns roar and
the shells take their screaming
fiight-there at Soissons-but under
the curtain Of smoke and the hail of
lead there spins on and on the gold
and-scarlet thread Of the romance that
never dies.-Memphis Commercial Ap-
peal.
