INFLUENZA SHOWS
SIGNS OF ABATING


Washington, Oct. 24.-Continued
Improvement in the influenza situa-
tio min army camps and in num-
ber of States was shown by reports
received today by the Surgeon Cen
eral of the army and the Pubic
Health Service. New cases in army
camp stotalled only 2,733, with 127
deaths. The disease now is epi-
demic at only three camps, Lewis,
Washington; Mcclellan, Alabama,
and Kearney, California.
States where the number OF new
cases reported show decrease in
clude North Carolina, Oklahoma,
South Carolina and Tennessee.
Reports that the influenza germs
may have been brought to the
United States and spread by enemy
agents, possibly landed on American
shore sfrom submarines, have been
investigated by government agents,
but no basis for them has been
found. Investigators Of several gov
ernment departments declared to-
day that they were convinced, after
an inquiry, that the disease was
brought to this country through the
natural channels of affected seamen,
travellers or imports and not by ma
licious methods.

Text of Presidents Note


The Secretary of State makes pub
lie the following:
From the Secretary of State to
the Charge d'Affairs ad interim, in
charge of German interests in the
United States:
Department of State, Oct 23, 1918.
"Sir:-I have the honor to ac-
knowledge the receipt Of your note
of the 22nd. transmitting a commu-
nication under the date of the Goth,
from the German government and
instructed me to reply thereto as
follows:
Having received the solemn and
explicit assurance of the German
government that it unreservedly ac-
cepts the terms of peace laid down
in his address to the Congress of the
United States on the Sth day of Jan
uary, 1918, and the principles Of
settlement enunciated in his subse
quent addresses, particularly the ad
dress of the 9th of September, and
that 1t desires to discuss the details
of their application, and that his
wish and purpose eminated, not
from those who have hitherto die
tated German policy and conducted
the present war on Germany's be-
half, but from ministers who speak
for the majority of the Reichstag
and for an overwhelming majority
of the German people; and having
received also the explicit promise Of
the present German government that
the humane rules of civilized war
fare will be observed both on land
and sea by the German armed fore
es, the President of the United
States feels that he cannot decline
to take up with the governments
with which the government of the
United States is associated, the ques-
tion of an armistice.
HE deems 1t his duty to say
again, however, that the only armis-
tice he would feel justified in sub
mitting for consideration would be
one which should leave the Unitec
States and the powers associated
with her in a position to enforce any
arrangement that may be entered
into and to make renewal of hos
tilities on the part of Germany i'm
possible. The President has, there
fore, transmitted his correspondence
with the present German authori-
ties to the government with which
the government of the United States
is associated as belligerent with

NOPEACE WITH
THE KAISER
Or His War Lords or With Ger
many Until the Kaiser
is Removed
WHAT MESSAGE MEANS

Washington, Oct 24.--No armis-
tice except under the conditions as
laid down by the President and no
armistice with the Kaiser or his war
lords now or later This is the an
swer that President Wilson has Civ
en- is the latest answer to the Ger
man government.
That he has taken up with his al
lies the plea of the Germans for am
nesty and peace is evident from his
answer and that the decision, there
can be peace as long as the Kaiser
remains on the throne of Germany
or has any direction whatsoever,
however remote that, that is also ev-
identlyly the feeling of the allies as
sociated with America in the strug-
gle for world wide peace and liber-
ty, democracy for the liberation OF
the people.
His announcement will again dis
close to the people of Germany that
they must be able to see the error
Of their way and that no makeshifts
on their part will suffice to bring the
allies to the feeling that they have
truly repented for having been in
the least degree responsible for the
fearful war and suffering that has
been brought to the world, however
the intention that is made to bring
the world to the opinion that the
government of Germany has been
made over and the old regime has
been cast aside.

PRESIDENT WILSON WILLING TO HOLD AN
ARM|ST|CE AND TREAT WITH THE GER
MANS # THE MILITARY ADVISERS OF
7HEALu|ES OR THE SOLDIERS WHO HAVE
WON THE WAR ARE WILLING

President Wilson, replying to the
German government for an armis-
tice leaves the matter with the men
who have whipped the Hun, and in
forms the German government thai
he has transmitted the correspond
ence sent him by that government
on the subject Of an armistice and
peace to the Allies with the sugges-
tion to their governments that he is
disposed to effect peace on the terms
as indicated by their military advis-
ors and the military advisors of the
United States who will be asked to
submit the necessary terms, or such
terms an will fully protect the inter
ests Of the people involved and the
principles for which they stand.

discuss the subject with the manu-
facturers.
Regarding his statement of last
week that arrangements were under
consideration whereby wooden ships
not available for the transatlantic
service might be obtainable for the
purpose of bringing wool from
South America, Mr.. Baruch indicat-
ed that matters were progressing.
There is fair possibility that the
arrangements can be made to cover
imports of wool for civilian use as
well as to cover the needs of the mil
itary establishments.

49, 1t is true also that the cleo
tion this year of every Democratic
candidate has its national import
anee, because Mr.. Wilson liz a Dem
ocrat and is held responsible for the
conduct of the war, and the election
! Of Republican in Democratic
State or distric: would be regarded
as reputation of the administra-
tion to the enemies of this country
and weaken US through the eyes Of
other nations.
a. Our Presi lent is at the pres
ent crisis the central figure of the
world, and to him the people of Eu-
rope are looking for a speedy and
just termination of the war, and he
must be sustained if we wish the
war to end, and we must not let To-
cal differences separate us.
! .. Prominent Republicans in
the State and Nation, realizing this
condition, while not leaving their
party, are saying that Democrats
ought to be elected this year.
Is. The normal Democratic ma.
jority in this State, when no Presi-
dent is to be elected is about $4,000
but this year there are more than
$4,000 voters in the army, more
than two-thirds of whom are Dem
ocrats, many of whom will not be
able to vote and if those at home are
not active, and do not urge others
to be so, the Senatorial, State and
Congressional tickets are in danger.
"7. Are you willing to face our
boys upon their return from France,
and say to them that while they are
laway fighting the battles of our conn
try for you that You did not fully
support the administration, and that
you turned over your State and dis
trict to the Republicans
IS. They will ask an account OF
your stewardship. What will your
answer be? We hope the response
will be that every Democrat has per-
formed his full duty and that no
Democrat has refused to vote for ali
the nominees on his ticket.
-. Four years ago 1870 Demo
Gratis in this district did not vote,
and il they will register and vote
this year they will more than com
pensate for any loss Of the soldier
vote.
10. We urge you to discuss the
matter with your neighbors and see
that the full vote is cast; and we
make this appeal to you not only In
behalf of our candidates for Con-
gress, but for the success of the en-
tire Democratic ticket.
