SUBMISSION SOLE
HUN PEACE HOPE
Public Mind in U. S. a Unit in
Breathing Spirit of "Uncon-
ditionaI Surrender"

A wireless version of the
German reply to President Will
son reached the State Depart
ment today. There will be no
official comment until the official
text is received.
In the view Of ofacials of the Ameri-
can government there is only one re-
ply which will be acceptable to the
United States-submission to the
Presidents terms as announced. II
the German answer is Of a character
to prolong discussion, to bring about
further exchanges of communication.
President Wilson will, 1t Is positively
stated in Official circles, refuse to con-
tinue the correspondence.
subscribed, which is the most potent
sign understandable to the German
mind of the feeling in this country:
the troops are being forwarded with
regularity and dispatch and the mill
tary operations in Europe proceed
without relaxation.
The state Of mind of the people of
ering with Germany on peace terms is
declared to be unmistakeable. Not
only are the people dead set in oppo-
sition to temporizing. but it is declared
they are on edge and watching with
vigilance the attitude of Washington.
Yielded to Presidents Judgment.
The public, it is believed. thinks that
President Wilson went just about as
far as safety allowed in pausing to pre-
sent the three questions to the Huns.
A section of the public, 1t is thought,
was opposed. to his doing even that
much, but yielded to his judgment
That element, however. and others
of the population, are now believed to
be very much on the alert for any evil
dence of possible further questioning
or arguing with the central powers
and ready to insist upon cutting il
short"
That President Wilson's answer to
Austria-Hungary last Saturday is the
poseC a. this time to relish is the
, view in official circles here. and es-
pecially among senators and repre-
sentatives who are closely in touch
with the constituencies at large.
The letters received at the CAPITOL
the spirit of unconditional surrender
OF the central powers, and of flight
it out along this line If il takes ali
winter" The signs of the temper OF
the people are said to be writ large
and unmistakable.
For one thing. it is pointed out
the ever-increasing casualty lists are
having their effect in hardening the
people into a demand that. their sac.
rifices must not be allowed to have
been made in vain. The casualt,
lists are not alone those Of the mer

So. from every quarter Of the lant
comes wave of support for the
President, backing up an attitude o.
resistance to any terms which might
bear seeds of an Intellectual peace
This betokens. it is said. that the
people are not only insistent upor

they are watching Washington very

z MILLION PUSHED
LOAN BEYOND MARK
DISSATISFACTION Is Thought
to Amount to Several
Hundred Million.
OVER IS MILLION HERE

Reports reaching the Treasury to-
day from the twelve federal reserve
districts indicate that the six-billion-
dollar goal of the fourth liberty loan
was passed by several hundred mil
lions. Estimates also show that there
were at least $4,000, 900 subscribers.
Reports for Washington.
Reports from local banks received
at liberty loan headquarters up to 1
o'clock this afternoon were too in
complete to form the basis Of an ac-
curate estimate, but members of the
committee are confident final figures
will show Washington well past $685.
ooo, 900. The c{ty's quota was $780,
600
Many of the banks were so deluged
with last-minute pledges Saturday
that they were unable to give the
committee any idea of their totals to-
day. Nearly all OF the forty-three
local institutions are believed to have
sold their allotments, of Washington's
quota.
Local bankers believe that when
final official figures for the entire
country are available Washington
will be shown near the top among
cities Of its size.
Owing to influenza, peace talk and
the fact that many participants in
the third loan now are in the Army.
the number of subscribers in the Bos-
ton. Philadelphia and possibly some
other districts, probably is no greater
than in the preceding loans.
Compared With British Loan.
1t is apparent, however, that at
least 20 per cent OF the population of
the United States bought bonds. rec
ord equaling and probably exceeding
the percentage record of the British
victory loan Of 1917, which had 9.000,-
900 subscribers. The $5.000,000,000
subscribed to that loan is exceeded by
more than a billion dollars. Thus all
records both for size and distribution
liberty loan.
The first liberty loan had about A.
500, 900 subscribers, or per cent of
the population. The second had about
$4,000 or 9 per cent The third had
$500. 900. or approximately IT. per
cent.
Ali orders for coupon bonds are
being filled Immediately. and plenty
of registered bonds will be ready as
fast as acquisitions for them. accom-
panied by the necessary information
concerning the individual owners,
reach the Treasury.
Bundles Of Bonds Shipped.
Thirteen hundred clerks were at
work today examining. counting and
shipping bonds as fast as they came
from the bureau of engraving and
printing. They were received in huge
bundles, carefully wrapped and sealed,
and went out to federal reserve
banks in much the same form.
. Although the exact number of bonds
sold will not be known for many
weeks, officials estimate that it is
more than 100000. In the third
loan slightly less than $4,000, 900 were
bought.

Bruges Wildly Gel -brates.
LONDON. October 21.-scenes Of
happiness at Bruges eclipsed those
at Lille after the liberation of the
two cities. according to the cor
respondent of the Daily Mail. Dur
ing the occupation Of Bruges by the
Germans the people there were not
allowed to receive news from the
outer world, or from their friends
inside the German lines, unless the
news was handled by the German
officers The correspondent writes:
when the only American woman
left in Bruges was told of the deeds
of Americans in France she cried with
happiness: oh, if had only known
that"
Bruges was fined enormous sums
on various occasions. the correspond
ent says. and everything made of
metal was taken away The city was
searched four times for copper The
works at Bruges were robbed of every
scrap of machinery. The Germans
paid for nothing except food and
drink. and then only in paper money.
The town itself is intact and the old
belfry and the front of the Hotel
de Vile are uninjured. Most of the
pictures remain in the gallery and
Bruges seems to be as restful as in
the old days, except that all the
bridges are gone.

department took $120,000,000 of the

a few side remarks regarding the St
Mihiel operations, is disclosed in

The document prefaces a discussion
of the st. Mihiel attack by admitting

It then takes up the divisions which

visions; the 4th and 26th are fighting
divisions. which already proved their
qualities in-battles on other parts of
the front. The 5th, seth and 18th are

Raleigh.-Notwiths it's oft
repeated and proven assertions that
its attitude toward all dealers in food
stuffs is first of all friendly, and that

That Food Administrator Henry A.

Ing violated and people oppressed

patriotic dealers.
Offenders to be Put Out of Business.
Where wanton violations of the
law and policy of the Food Admins
tration are found, it is anticipated
that the offending dealers will be pun
lshed by the simple procedure of put
ting them out of business. Where
profteers are shrewd enough to stav
barely within the bounds they will be
put IN class Of suspects and watched

consumer more effective cooperation.

Of that college:
IN accepting the resignation OF
Bishop Kilgo, the board of trustees OF
Trinity college desires to put on rec
ord it's sincere appreciation of his long
service TO the college and to education.
The board also wishes to express its
deep personal goodwill for him in all
the exacting work which he has been
given to do, and it's desire for con-
tinued cooperation with him in the
causes Of the church and Christian
education, and in those personal re-
lationships that have existed for so
long.
Bishop Kilgo came to the presiden-
cv of the college at the opening of the
session OF 1894-'95. At that time the
college had only recently been remov-
ed from Randolph county to Durham,
and Bishop kilgo became the real
builder of the new Trinity. Its growth
in plant, in educational equipment
and output, and its service to civiliza-
ton, are permanently fixed in the his
tory of the State, and will ever remain

era tion to the college and the princi-
pies for which it stands.
"All this the trustees deeply appre-
ciate; but most of all they appreciate
the moral leadership of the college
during Bishop kilgo's administration
and they have not doubt that the
moral earnestness and the controlling
| faiths that have characterized the past
abide here now, and will always abide
And to this end, the board pledges its
