quarters that the German peace offer at this time had for one of it's ob- jects this Encouragement of Ameri- cans in the Fourth Liberty loan.
 Military men have expressed the view that it was framed for it's pos sible effect on the morale of the American and entente troops in the field and the workers at home being pressed to do their utmost for the prosecution of the war.
 Germany's acceptance of President Wilson's terms in no wise maans that her acceptance will be met by Great Britain and rFance.
 The restoration of "ship by ship" from the German mercantile marine for all submarine losses is a Brit ish principle which apparently is ac- cepted by all the British people.
 Commenting on the reply, the Sum- day Observer says:
 "The first issue for us is the mar itine question.
 We ought to insist that the Ger man submarine campaign should not be marked out for special treat ment in immediate connection with any peace preliminary.
 'lf any military armistice is ac- companied by concrete guarantees so must naval armistice.
 We ought to insist, before there ca; be any suspension of hostilities. tbat the German submarines shall be surrendered to the allies"
 The News of the World says:
 Any cessation of military opera tiCnS at this stage wOuld com nrOmiSa all our military success.

loom as the text of the unofficial Maximilian and Foreign Secretary Solf can in reality represent the German people, as the reply declares they do. President Wilson's estimate, and the estimate of the statesmen of the co-belligerents on the safety of dealing with the heads of the German government have often been repeated. They have been denounced as un- worthy of trust, and not to be ex- pected to keep promises.
 Remains A Question.
 Whether President Wilson and the entente allies regard the government now headed by Maximilian and which has Solf for it's secretary of state for foreign affairs, one which can speak under any circumstances for the German people and bind them to the peace terms which the allies will impose, remains to be seen.
 There was no official expression on that point in Washington tonight in President Wilson's absence.
 No One Knows.
 Probably no one in the United States but he can give the answer. Reading through the phrases of the unofficial text every one here im- mediately was struck with the ones- tion of what must have happened in Germany recently to make such an answer possible.
 One of the closing phrases which declares that the present German gov- ernment has been formed by confer ences in agreement with the great majority of the Reichstag and that the chancellor "speaks in the name of the German government and of the German people" k,
 What has become of the Kaiser was the question asked on every hand as that aphrase was read. The world knows little of what has been going on in Germany during the last few months when with armies steadily beaten at the front, things at home have been going front bad to worse: It was regarded as not without the realm of possibility that the ! great power of the Kaiser which brought on the war has been taken from him.
 Atsfirst there was some disposition to regard the text of the note as re- ceived here as possibly unauthentic.
 The manner of it's publication, altho of official accident. was so ir- regular that many thought it some sort of bit of German "finesse" in dir'omacv.
 There has been an opinion in some

LONDON'S VIEWS ON
 GERMANY'S ANSWER

London, Oct. 12 (By The Ass sociated Press.)-Germany's reply to Presi- dent Wilson reached London too late for any authoritive comment
 It was bound to come, however, in- to an atmosphere charged with sus- picion and the opinion is held in all quarters that the reply would be a good guage of the degree of Ger many's military distress.
 An armistice is the old familiar ruse for distressed army. Apparent ly the reply gives one statement of news.
 It associates Austria-Hungary, but not Turkey, with the German gov ernment.
 The implication seems to be that unless the German secretary for for eign affairs has written the message with unusual haste, Turkey is no longer Germany's ally. In all pre- vious important diplomatic docu- ments Germany has scrupuously men, tioned all her allies.
 The phrase ito agree upon practi- cal details of the application of these terms," is on it's face a straight reply to President Wilson. It was not un- expected here, but is likely to be re- garded with suspicion
 English papers have said that a conference based on such formula may be considered by the Germans to mean an extended debate.
 Some of the most important Ger man papers in latest quotations cabled from Holland persists in us- ing the word compromise with reference to the application of the presidents principles. But the feel ing in London is that it will be hard for the allied armies to hold their hand in the hour of seemingly victory
 Unconditional surrender" is the watchword much more appealing to the British people in this hour than any committee to arrange for evacua- tion.
 Events in the past week, particul- arly the sinking of the Leinster. have steeled British hearts against com promise.
 There is a strong belief here voic- ed even by the Compromising" papers that there are yet two powers in Germany---one power of the new government and the other of the army and that it is not yet decided which is supreme.

POLISH STUDENTS
 UNDER SURVEILLANCE

Students in the Polish universities have been so open and fearless ln their anti-German demonstrations that it has been necessary to place them under surveillance. Although these boys are nearly all under 21 years of age, they have been among the most active elements in their agitation for free Poland.
 While some of their performances savor of the traditional pranks of the college Freshman, the patriotc mo- tive behind them has caused the Germans to regard them with deep gravity. Their first outburst took place on January 23, 1917, immediate ly following President Wilson's de- claration in favor of free Polish state. On that occasion they danced ana marched all night through the streets of Warsaw.
 After the Brest-Litovsk treaty they hung streamers of crape from their dormitory windows. They also held a turlesque representation of the signing of the treaty which was con- sidered so seditious that the Ger man soldiers broke it up, shooting and wounding two of the participants. After the Versailles meeting of June 3, jollification meeting was held.
 4 letter to Governor General von Beseler to the Rector of the Univer- sity of Warsaw comments bitterly upon the boys behavior, and declares that the German authorities "can- not yield to the wishes and demon strative displays of politically un- ripe youths" Evidently von Besel- er's remonstrance had little effect for the order placing the universities under military surveillance soon fol-

Teddy" Says Fight War to
 A Finish
Inviting Germany to Join Nations Like Asking Thug
 To. Be Policeman

Oyster Bay N. Y., Oct, 12:-Cclonel Theodore Roosevelt, speaking at a
 Liberty loan meeting here tonight,
 declared that peace proposals should
 be discussed "only with our allies" As for league of nations the Colonel added: q should regard a proposal to in-
 clude Germany, Austria, and Turkey in it's as on level with the proposi-
 tion to stop burglary and murder in New York by inviting all the burg
 lars and gunmen to join the police f6rce."
 Peace terms, the Colonel said,
 "should include economic barriers
 against Germany so that she cannot flood our markets with her hoarded products" ..'.%.
 "In the next place" he said, < we should secure complete Jurisdiction for all our allies. f' ''* : "We ought not be content merely with autonomy for the subject races of Austria and Turkey.
 ''The Czecho-Slovaks should be giv-
 en complete independence and so
 should the Poles without any taint or German over lordship.
 "The Italians of Austria should be
 joined to Italy and Rumanians of
 Hungary to Rumania. "The Jugo-Slav commonwealth should be created. "The Turks should be driven from Europe and the Armenians and Syr-
 ians given their independence and all the Greeks guaranteed their rights.
 s'France should receive back Alsace
 and Lorraine, Belgium should be re- stored and amply indemnified and
 probably Luxemburg included. within her limits.
 "Ukrania, Lithuania, the Baltic pro- vince sand Finland should be absol- utely cleared of German influence, both military and economic. Both England and Japan should keep the provinces they have conquered. North Schleswig should be given back to the Danes. =. |; "In other words we should fight this war through to a finish. We should put an absolute end to the threat of German world domination
 and instead of merely talking about future justice, we should bring justice now to all the nations oppressed by Germany and her allies" During the meeting Colonel Roose- welt was told of the German govern ment's acceptance of President Will
 sons terms.
 r "What I said in my address covers
 this development" was his only com ment.

JUDGMENT RESERVED ON GERMANY'S
 PEACE ANSWER

lContinned from page oneS IL was at once flashed to the coun- try.
 Officials Regret Publicity.
 When the high officials of the of- flee learned that the dispatch had been made public their distress and regret was almost boundless, much as they were gratiied by it's apparent contents.
 The contents of the dispatch were at once communicated to Secretary Lansing and other officials of the government.
 President Wilson was in New York and the contents of the dispatch were communicated him there.
 It is very probable that the text of the official communication may diS fer in some respects as to verbiage from the unofficial copy given out to- night, but it is regarded as highly improbable that it will show any substantial differences.
 Apparently An Answer.
 At the first reading, the text would seem to answer in a manner which might lead to peace, all the questions
 
 Maxirhi1ian in his inquiry which was sent as an answer to the German peace note received here last Monday. In this inquiry the president de- clared he would not propose an armis- tice while troops of the central pow CTS remained on invaded soil; he ask ed whether Prince Maximilian ac- cepted the terms of peace so laid down or merely wanted to discuss them," as a basis for negotiations. !" fnd finally he asked whether the chancellor merely represented the miiitarists who have been conducting the war. These inquiries. the Ger man governments seems to answer, in 8 manner which at least has not closed the door to peace.
 To Evacuate Territory. The evacuation of invaded terri tory pending declaration of an armis- <ice the answer accepts; it says the terms of peace are accepted and makes no further mention of "basis for negotiations" and declared the chancellor was speaking for the Ger man government as recently reconsti- tuted and the German people as we'll.

 Washington, Oct. 12.-Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Re- Flations, after having the note read to fim by the Associated Press, said:
 ''The German terms can be accepted if sufficient guarantees are given that the power which the emperor has given to the Reichstag is permanent. Ut must be made sufficiently clear that before we agree to an armistice that guarantee in mili- tary sense is given
 "These guarantees must be substan- tial because we must be; assured that there will be no chance in the atti- tude of the German government after details are arranged.
 "This communication is a great over anything that has hitherto come from Germany and it indicates the wisdom of the president.

The news of the death of the old colored woman. Aunt Caro- line Dye, at her home in New port has caused considerable comment in Brinkley this week. The old woman has for years been noted as a seer" or for tune teller and so great was her fame that hundreds of promi- nent people (who ought to know better) have gone to her with every kind of a mystery case and incidentally left a cash offering" with her. I've heard of many who believed Aunt Car oline was able to tell 'em any thing they wanted to know. She had a wonderful clientage, has had for years and at her death some $l2,000.00 cash was found in her home besides all kinds of Liberty Bonds, deeds. etc, foot ing up in the many thousand of dollars.

Nashville Tonsorial Artist Says He Has Found Better Way to Get Relief Than by Taking CaIomeI-Takes Win Hep atica

elf fellow was ever knocked ont by anything, l certainly. was by good old-fashioned spell of spring fever this spring" said U.~ L.< Bearden, we'll known Nashville barber, 243 Fourth avenae, north, but thanks to MT. G. M. Spencer, the paint contractor, ,617 Commerce street, for stating in the papers how he got such wonderful quick relief by taking that good medi- cine, Win Hepatica.
 T have been using calomel, which was so sickening that I could scarcely stand it. Not only did Yin Hepatica put me in fine shape again, but it was so pleasant to take. hadn't ta- ken more than two or three doses than my drowsy feeling was all gone and ! was feeling fine. I am my old-time self again.
 The fact is, Win Hepatica is Natures own medicine for stomach, liver and kidney troubles. It is made from eight of the greatest medicinal roots and herbs known to medical science, all combined into one medicine, known as Win Hepatica, the Universal System Purifier and Tonic.
 We strongly recommend this great Nature remedy. Come and get bottle and try it, on our recommen d ation. We know 1t is a real medicine .. the high est merit.

Soldier Boy at Fayetteville Writes Mother, Hrs. I.
 h. Simpson, AlleRdale

Fayetteville, Ark. Sept. 28, 1917 Dear mother:
 How are you feeling this afternoon? 1 am just fine. Don't believe 1 ever felt better in my life.
 This afternoon just after Gin- her We all the boys had to clean up around our new bar racks We haVn't moved in yet, but 1 think we will Monday. They are some nice, too. They will be equipped with heat and electric lights and will be very comfortable. There are fifty cots to the floor and two floors to the building. The cots are very nice and l think they will sleep fine. There is window to each cot. The young lads from eigh- teen to tWenty-one will be com ing in Monday, in fact they are coming in now. You know what that means for us. Very likely 1t means that we will be placed under quarantine. 1 hope not tho. In about three weeks l guess I will leave here for Signal Corps Officers Training. That is myself and one other fellow have been recommended. Two is very few out of this bunch, isn't it? I believe 1 will like it. too. We have lots to learn and it will take us a long time to learn it. 1 have decided to get a commission and l can't be sat- isfed until l get 1t. My Lieut.. advised me to take the Signal Corps as had my choice of any one of the training camps l pre- ferred.
 If 1 ever get my commission in the Signal Corps, it will con- sist largely of training men over here and commanding small com panies. Hope my action meets your hearty approval, because l wouldn't like to take this work unless you could agree.
 I havn't written home very often this week and as a result 1 havn't had a letter from Agnes and only two from Nave.
 l guess Max and Joe are pre- pairing to take their long trip to hope they will like it and I am sure they will. Also glad John M. is going with them They will find out what quaran- teen means then
 1 guess you are are all work ing hard as l am sure you are digging the spuds. Ibelieve the yield will be a great larger than was expected.
 1 certainly hope you, papa and all the rest are well and happy. Tell c. D. 1 have missed his let ters more than a little this week. Tell Nave and Agnes l will write them tomorrow. l will have have charge of our company and won't have anything to do but write and look after everything. With sincerest love, l am.
 Your son,
 Bert.
