Allies Preparing for Anticipated
Submarine Activities Against
Entente Shipping.
DOOMED TO FAILURE
Desperate U-5oat Drive Against
Transports and Troop Ships Like
ly If Peace Offensive Fails,
Naval Officers Believe.

Washington, Oct. 9.-Realizing that
Germany is likely to start a desperate
U-boat drive against transports and
troop ships if her peace offensive
fails, American naval officials and
British First Lord of the Admiralty
Geddes began comforting here over
combative measures.
Indications point to the ~loosening
of practically every U-boat in the leu
ton service against the Allied supply
lines. However, authorities believe
that this effort, like its predecessors,
is doomed to failure, on the whole, be-
u of reduced U-boat efficiency.
Four Reasons Given.
Factors making the forthcoming
campaign less dangerous than previ-
Gus operations were pointed out to-
day as: .
/. Personnel of U-boats is disrupted.
so much that submarines are now
rated as only one-ffteenth as effective
as at the start of the war.
2. Submarines have been driven
from the coast and must operate far
out at sea, where their prey is more
scattered.
3. They have been forced to leave
the channel bases and operate around
the North sea. reducing their effec
tive mileage one-third.
4. Defensive armament and the
convoy system have made successful
attack more difficult.
Construction Steadily Advancing.
A larger number of German sub
marines now are in operation than a
any time during the war and con
struction is believed to be advancin!
steadily.
Because of the heavy protection
given to troop ships and supplies
from America the work of hunting
down the submarine has been inter
fered with to some extent and thu
actual destruction of U-boats ha
probably decreased, although the eli
~fectiveness of the submarine has beel
reduced at the same time.

WILSON REPLIES
TO PEACE OFFER
REQUIRES PROOF OF GER
MANY'S GOOD FAITH.
A TEST OF SINCERITY
NO ARNlISTICE WHILE TEUTONS
OCCUPY SOIL OF THE
ALLIES.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 9.-Presi-
dent Wilson yesterday afternoon ad-
dressed TO Germany an inquiry de-
signed to test the sincerity of Ger
many in her peace offers.
In his message he serves notice on
Germany that no armistice is pos
sible while the armies of the central
powers are upon Allied soil.
And, he added, the good faith of
any discussion would depend upon
the willingness of the Teutons to
withdraw their forces at once from
invaded territory.
The message to Germany was of
ficially designed as an inquiry, not a
reply, to the German peace note. 1t
asked the German chancellor for the
exact meaning, and questioned
whether he meant Germany was
ready to accept the IA terms and dis
cuss only practical details of their
application.
The text of the communication
signed by Secretary Lansing follows
"Sir, | have the honor to acknowl-
edge on behalf of the president your
note of October 6, i~nclosing a com
m%unication from the German govern.
ment to the president, and / am in
~structed by the president to request
you to make the following commu-
nication to the imperial German
chancellor:
Before making reply to the re.
quest of the imperial German gov
eminent, and in order that that re
ply shall be as candid and straight
forward as the momentous interests
involved require, the president OF th'
United States deems it necessary tt
assure himself of the exact meaning
of the note of the imperial chancel
lor. Does the imperial chancellor
mean that the imperial German gov
eminent accepts the terms laid dow
by the president in his address u
the of the United States OF
the tn of January, last, and in sub
s~eauent addresses, and thai its Oh
iect in entering into discussion
would be only to agree upon tn
practical details of their application
The president feels bound TO sa,
with regard to the suggestion OF a
armistice that he would not feel a
liberty to propose a cessation of arm
to the government with which tn
government of the United States ]
associated against the central power
so long as the armies of those pow
ers are upon their soil. The goo
faith OF any discussion would man
testify depend upon the consent OF tn
central powers Immediately to witt
drawtheir forces everywhere frmo IL
vaded territory.
THE president also feels hat he
justified in asking whether the in
perial chancellor is speaking merel
for the constituted authorities of tn
empire who have so far ~conducte
the war. He deems the answer [
these questions vital from ever
point of view.
Accept, sir, the renewed assn
ances of my high consideration.
Robert Lansing"

EARLY, A IS PLEA

Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 2s.-A
movement aimed at bringing about
the earliest possible release from
service Of the farmer boys now in
the army, has been launched by a
group Of Red river valley farmers,
who are addressing petitions to Her
bert Hoover, federal food admins
traitor.
5 Son account Of the shortage of
farm labor in. this state during har-
vest and threshing season, we were
unable to get very much blowing
done this fall, consequently if a
large acreage is planted in 1919, 1t
will be necessary to have more than
the average amount Of help in the
spring." read the petitions that are
being literally signed.
The point also is made that many
farmers now are selling their live
stock because Of the lack of help to
take care of them this winter.
EARLY release of the farm boys, 1t
is pointed out, will save both the
livestock on the farms, and augment
next seasons production.
