Save Fruit Pits and Nut Shells
 For Gas Masks

AS counterblast against Ger man poison gas attacks on the fields of France the Food Adminis- tration is issuing call to house. wives, grocers, canners and pro- prietors of hotels and restaurants to aid in the collection of fruit pits and nut shells from which to make carbon for the millions of gas masks neded by the American Army.
 Investigation by chemists has shown that pits of apricots, peach es, prunes, olives, dates, cherries and plums and the shells of brazil and hickory nuts, walnuts and but ternuts make the best carbon for masks. There is double incen- tive to save these Not only will their carbon save many lives at the front, but consumption of the fruit from which they come will result in utilization of perishable foods, shells will also make possible the while collection of nuts for their use of their meats as food.

BRITISH FAVOR REPLY

LONDON, Oct. e.-President VIII
sons reply to the German chanceI-
lor is hailed here as a clever diplo-
matte stroke. The man in the
street" generally believes that the
Hohenzollerns have been pushed in
to a corner. where they will have
to accept President Wilson's fourteen
terms, and evacuate all occupied ter
ritory. II they do not do that, they
will expose their hypocricy to their
own people as well as the world,
and thereby hasten the inevitable
revolution.
The question as to whether the
German chancellor is speaking for the
people or the war lords clinches this.
it is held here. Even the British
labor pacifists agree with President
Wilson that all occupied territory
must be evacuated before an armis-
tice is declared.
president Wilson's reply to the
German peace note fulflIs the hopes
and expectations of the allies in Eu-
rope and means that Prussianism is
a lost cause" said the Westminster
Gazette today.
The Evening Standard. in its com
ment upon the American reply, said:
with characteristic directness and
force the democratic leader of Amer
ica brings the lieutenant of the
kaiser's down TO the solid ground
work Of fact and invites him to dea!
with three fundamental facts"
The Pail Mall Gazette said: This
challenge will place the actualities
of the peace problem clearly before
the German people and test the sim
certify of the German overtures."
The Washington times., 1918-10-09
GERMANS AWAIT REPLY

German newspapers received in
Berne and forwarded here TO the
French high commission show that
the German people. officials and press
are anXiously awaiting the receipt OF
President Wilson's answer to Prince
MaN's peace note.
According to a Wolf telegram, the
official "Nord Deutsche AIlgemaine
ZeitunE" states that "the German
government and the majority of the
Reichstag have adopted without
Limitation or exception the whole OF
President wilson's program as a
basis of peace"
Officials here expressed wonder as
to whether these utterances by the
German press are intended for Presi-
dent Wilson or for German people
yesrning for peace.
