"The text Of the German note,
in reply to President Wilson's de-
r,ands, by wireless, 10 as follows:
Section LIN accepting the pro-
pcsal for an evacuation Of occupied
territories the German government
has started from the assumption
that tho procedure Of this evaeua.

sides in the field has to form the
basis for arrangements safeguard.
ing and guaranteeing this standard.
Section 2.-The German govern
ment suggests to the president
that an opportunity should be
brought about for fixing the de-
tails. Il trusts that the president
Of the United States will approve
Of no demand which would be ir-
reeoneilible with the honor Of tho
German people and to opening a
way to a peace Of justice.
Section 3.-The German govern
ment protests against the reProaeh
Of illegal and inhuman acts made
against the German land and sea
forces and thereby against the
German people. For the covering
Of retreat distinctions always

Section 4-Tho German govern

With the British Army in France,
Oct 20.-Roubaix and Turcoing today
celebrated their deliverance from the
enemy and it was like an American
Christmas. New Years eve and Fourth
Of July all rolled into one.
The people Of the two cities were
! wild with emotional joy. There were
kisses, hugs and handshakes for every
British soldier. On their windows the
women had pasted pictures Of French
and British military celebrities torn
i from magazines. The swash- -buck]ing
/ Germans left as much ruin as they
could, do Nearly every home in the
city had been sacked and things which
lcould not be carried away were de-
stroyed.
Towns Looted.
The Germans were piqued at being
forced TO leave the towns and as they
left went to extreme lengths to de-
file, destroy and steal. Roubaix and
! Turcoing were systematically robbed,
/, Roubaix suffering the most. In Ro-
baix the Germans cut fine leather seats
! from chairs. ripped pictures from
frames and took coverings from mat
trcsses.
Apparently they went thru the fine
old homes in an effort to see how
! much damage they could do.
Singed by Heat Of War.
For miles around Itouhaix and Tur-
Going the countryside had seen singed
and scorched by the heat Of war.
Broken cannon, rusted rifles, barbed
wire bayonets and other equipment Of
soldiers were scattered Ill about. There
are miles of mangled fields where the
shell craters are SO thick it is impos-
sible to tell where one begins and the
other leaves of.
Here and there are old machine gun
mounds Of stone; concrete and dirt.
The trees are leafless and many have;
been chewed to pieces by flying shells

PRICE OF wHIsKEY.
Prohibition aud War Taxes Keep Mar.
Eet in a Turmoil.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 6.-After
eighteen months Of extreme uncer-
tainty in the whiskey ma ct, the
price of bonded goods toda. en-
lucky, the largest straight whiskey
producing State in America. Is 95
cents to $1.15 a gallon.
The imminence Of complete pro-
hibition, coupled with the belief that
higher taxes may cause a marked de-
crease in consumption, is expected by
large operators to keep prices at
low level. A few dealers, however,
believe the approach of prohlblt1on
will stimulate demand and bring high
prices.
The sudden, sweeping market
changes have kept operators in a tur-
MOL. A year and a half ago many
of them would have been bankrupt
had they been forced to liquidate
their holdings. Then prices rose and
on paper some of the holders were
millionaires.
The order stopping production for
beverage purposes sent prices upward
until newest whiskies approached So
gallon in bond. Owners counted
gains in big figures, and many held on
for higher. prices. The cautious ones
unloaded at the peak. however.
Then came the certainty OF pro-
hibition for the duration of the war
and that greatly increased taxes must
be paid Prices crashed and brought
the low levels of today
There are between thirty and forty
millions of gallons of whiskey avail,
able for sale today on which the taa
has been paid. The present tax or
whiskey is $500 a proof gallon. Deal.
ers said they expected the new sS,,
100000 revenue bill to provide
tax of at least double. and probably
treble the present rate.

CUTS GERMAN OIL SUPPLY.

Washington, Nov. 5.-One effect Of
the elimination Of Austria from the
war, the fuel administration announc-
ed tonight, will be the cutting off Of
Germany's SUPPLIES of fuel oil and gas
oline.
Germany was obtaining fuel oil and
gasoline from Galatia and Rumapia
and was planning to import extensive
ly from the Caucasus, the announce
ment said, but under the terms of the
Austrian armistice, all traffic between
Germany and her former ally must
stop.
Within the German borders there
are MO supplies of fuei oil. and infor-
nation possessed by the fuel admin
istration is that Germany has been
using benZol-a derivative of coal
tar-for lubricating OIL This latter
source, it was said. will not supply
German needs.
The Italian fuel situation, which
has been serious from the beginning
of the war, it was aid, will not be i'm
proved materially by the Austrian ar
mistice. The Austrian mines worked
to full capacity furnish only enough
coal for the nations needs. Demoliiza-
ton Of the Austrian army will al
low the return Of the miners to their
work and thereby probably prevent
suffering because Of lack of coal with
in that nation this winter but will
not provide supplies sufficient to aid
Italy.
