he quit in disgust and left with only
two cars. He had made what appeared
to be all honest effort TO buy the corn
at a fairly reasonable price The rea-
son offered for the failure to get what
he needed was the fact that the farmer
were holding for higher price. They
had decided that since he was offer

might be possibility of getting more,
and they held to their corn.

LET FOCH DECIDE,
PARIS DEMANDS
Military Should Announce Condi-
tons of Suspension
of Arms.
COMMENTS ON GERMAN NOTE
Some See in Reply to Wilson Hope Of
Germans That 1t Will Result IN
Cleavage Between Allies.

Paris, Oct 14.-"Let them address
themselves to Marshal Foch," is the
consensus of editorial expression in
Paris newspapers over the reply Of
Germany TO President Wilson's ques-
lions.
The reply is considered here to indi-
cate that Germany's diplomatic front
is as flexible as her military front.
Some of the commentators find the
reply so worded as to show the hope
of the Germans that 1t will result in
cleavage between the allies. General
La Croix in the Temps says: Ger
many's acceptance of President VIII
sons conditions Is an avowal of de-
feat Foch is the sole judge from the
military point of view and will know
how to exact the necessary guaran-
tees and what territorial occupations
must be imposed"
Almost all the newspapers express
similar views.
In addition to recalling Bismarck's
ruthless methods in the 1871 armistice,
it is pointed out that when the Ger
mans in 1914 sought to secure Frances
neutrality Germany was not willing
to accept Frances word, but demand
ed To be permitted to occupy Toul and
Verdun as "A guarantee.
in its earlier survey of the reply
the Temps says:
"The form of the reply is submls-
sive. Germany admits our victory.
Let us rejoice. But the formation Of
the reply is crafty. Germany attempts
to dodge all the consequences of her
defeat. Let us beware. In appear
arce Germany accepts President VIII
sons demands. In reality she intro
duces two restrictions which annul ev-
elythlng.
"She accepts President Wilson's
points, but as bases, not as conditions.
To accept conditions closes debate; to
accept bases opens debate.
"The pretense that the present Ger
man government has been formed
through agreement Of great majority
OF the reichStag,' the article continues,
"says nothing. The same thing was
said after the formation of the Hert-
ling ministry. The Hohenzollern re-
gime has only changed its label"
La Liberte says: "Our military com
mand alone is qualified to decide the
measures to be imposed"
Germany has lost the war" says
L'Homme Libre, Premier Clemenceau's
newspaper. "She has replied and not
replied. BY the single solitary fact
that she desires to engage in confer
ences over an armistice she proves
that she is in urgent need of a suspen-
sion of hostilties. She asks a cessa-
ton of hostilities as an admission that
she is through"
