GERMAN REPLY IS
ONE OF EMISSIONS,

LONDON, Sunday. Oct. 15.-TThe
speed of the German reply is indicative
of the. anxiety the Germans feel for the
safety of their rapidly retreating army,
said Viscount Northcliffe to an Assocl-
ated Press representative tonight.

were being questioned about the Lusi-

purpose of unbalancing the minds OF
simple folks in allied countries and Tor
the purpose. of convincing the discon-
tented section of the German people
that the allies will not accept what is
declared by them to look like reason
able offer of peace.
The character of the answer shows
the atmosphere of equivocation in which
the German government lives and
herself ready to comply. She does not
comply. She has not accepted the preSi-
dents terms. She only Says-untruIy-
that those terms have been accepted.
you will remember that in 1870. the
Germans, when they had the great
French army enveloped at Sedan, de-
clined to give an armistice. Bismarck
said:
Germany desires to promote the re-
establishment of peace. The best means
of assuring it is TO deprive France or
her army

the maps of their newspapers today
they will see that Marshal Foch is rap

BAKER CALLSFOR
FULL WAR SPEED,

Secretary of War Baker, home from a
seven weeks intensive study of the
western battle line, brought the above
tidings to a nation discussing the Teu-

THAT there must be no let-up in the
unending tide of men, guns and supplies

was the plain warning of the secretary

They talked of six months as a limit,
and some even discussed the chance OF

cord they said that there must be no
wavering of American support OF It's

they declared. would be fatal, robbing
the gallant armies of backing at the

Potomac Out of Banks.

Hagerstown, Nd, April lS.-The
Potomac river, which rose to 90 feet
above normal, overhowed its banks at
Williamsport Tuesday night. The
river was still out of banks yesterday
but was reccding. The bottom lands
below Williamsport arc flooded. The
rise was caused by melting of snow
in the mountains and by heavy rains.
