War Summary
kalser's ForIorn Hope.

NaiSeT6 fOFtOTn FJOPSs
[By J. w. T. Mason, United Press
War Expert.1
NEW YORK. Oct. 2S.-The
kaiser's final effort to rouse the dis
tracted German people to defense
of the fatherland has been craftily
placed in the German governments
latest note to President Wilson.
| The kaiser knows that any armis-
| tice conditions proposed by America
and the allies would be drastic. They
will include the occupation of German
cities, and probably the surrender OF
the German submarines, as well as
such other measures as will make 1t
impossible for Germany to renew the
war.
These terms ought to be and they
will be deeply humiliating to the
German people.
The kaiser has forlorn hope that
when the allies make known their
armistice demands. Germany will
rather continue the war than submit.
So, at the end Of his tether. he asks
to know the worst, trusting, in his
willy way, that he may be able to
turn the allies terms to his own
interest.
This childish trap is no reason for
democracy to avoid the test. The
only way to win war is to make
the enemy accept your will. If your
words cause the enemy to fight on
that only means the preliminaries
necessary for unconditional surren-
der have not been reached. The
sooner, therefore, the democratic
nations accept the kaiser's final chal-
lenge and state publicly the condi-
tions Of an armistice, the quicker will
1t become known whether the war is
to end now on Americas terms or
whether 1t must be continued.
In playing an artful role to that
end, the kaiser has overreached him
self The dominant necessity for
America and the allies is to know
definitely whether the war is ending
in complete victory or whether 1t
must be conditional.
The present uncertainty Is distract
ing and highly disadvantageous to
the allied cause. 1t can be ended by
an abrupt statement Of Marsh al
Fochs demands for an armistice. II
the kaiser can use these demands to
prolong Germany's resistance, the
war must go on. If he cannot, the
war will soon end in Germany's I'M
conditional surrender.
In any event there will be no more
talking things over with the kaiser.
We shall know exactly what has to
be done to win on Americas terms
and shall waste no more of our
energy in words.

Merely More camoufiage.
[By Robert ]. Bender, United Press
Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Oct 2S.-Germany
appeared to official Washington today
to be attempting to force an early
submission of allied armistice terms.
Her latest note, for which there
appeared no particular excuse or
need, carried the plain suggestion
that she is struggling now to make
the allies appear on the initiative ID
suggesting an armisttce.
The official text of the note had
not been received early today but was
expected SOON
Opinion was divided as to its i'm.
portance, some official seeing an
other step forward In Germany s
efforts and others declaring 1t merely
more camoufiage, more fattery OF the
president designed to keep him In
Iterested-and containing nothing new
or important.
What Germany meant when she
said President Wilson knows of the
ideep-rooted constitutional changes,
under way in that country is uncer'
tain. Some believed she might have
made a secret supplemental state
ment. as to political reforms.
Others thought she was merely
trying to emphasize that political
changes were under way.
Her statement that the military
| mowers are subject to new reforms is
regarded as inconclusive, though re-
forms Indicated in press reports
show, on the face that the German
people choose to exercise their new
lnrorogatives. Some looked upon the
! German note as a maneuver to avoid
imposition of the presidents stipula
ltinn-"surrender II the kaiser does
not abdicate. It Is held to be

Chairman Hays Issues Reply in
Behalf of His Party to Presi-
dents Political
Appeal.
Is UNJUST ACCUSATION
Republicans Forced to Either Lie
Down or Fight and Hays Says
They Should
Fight.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2s.-Will F
Hays, chairman of the republican ma
ional committee, made public here
statement in which he replied in bt
hal. Of his party to President Wilson
appeal to the nation to return demo
cratic congress. Hays said:
In his statement President Will
son has questioned the motives
and fidelity OF your representa-
tiyes in congress. He has thereby
impugned their loyalty and de-
MED their patriotism. His chal-
lenge is to you, who elected those
representatives.
You owe 1t to them, to the hon
or Of your great party and to
your own self-respect to meet
that challenge squarely, not only
as republicans, but as Americans.
I, as your chairman, call upon
you to do 1t.
Mr.. Wilson accords the republi-
cans no credit whatever for hav-
ing supported the war measures
proposed by his administration,
although they have done so with
greater unamity than the mem
bers of his own party. Despite
that fact, he accuses them of hav-
ing tried to usurp his proper
functions.
At no time and in no way
have they tried to take control of
the war out of his hands. The
president knows that. The coun-
try knows It. You know it.
A more ungracious, more un-
just, more wanton, more menda-
cious accusation was never made
by the most reckless stump ora
tor, much less by president Of
the United States, for partisan
purposes.
1t is an insult, not only to every
loyal republican in congress. but
to every loyal republican in the
land. It fully merits the resent
ment, which rightfully and sure
1y will find expression at the
polls
Mr.. Wilson grrdgingly admits
that the republicans have been
"pro-war." Then why does he de
mand their defeat? Because they
are still pro-war? Hardly that.
No, it is because they are for
peace through. not without, victo-
ry because they do not believe
lasting peace can be obtained
