One French Paper Says Hun

By the Associated Press.

PARIS. October 22-The German re-
ply to President Wilson was received
here too late for the afternoon papers,
but was eagerly discussed in official
circles and in parliament. Among
deputies of all shades of opinion the
impression was, first of all, that the
reply betrayed more than previous
communications the state of depres-
sion and the Generalization Of the
German people as the result Of the
allies victories.
AS whole, the note is found to be
equivocal and tortuous and platitu-
dinously phrased, SO as to leave the
door open for all sorts of quibbling
Nowhere is there evidence in the reply
of a genuine desire to accept the only
way in which peace can be concluded,
according to expression of opinion
here. On the contrary, all that is ap-
parent is the urgent desire of the
German general star to get an armis-
tice at any price in order to reor.

rial. Therefore. 1t is generally be-
lieved that the reply Is not likely
to be considered at Washington.
Called Typical Document.
The Figaro says that the men who
combined to write the reply to Presi-
dent Wilson "have translated the an
guish, disarray and powerless anger
of the people in whose name they pre-
tend to speak,"
1.-The German note is a typical docu-
sment," says the Matin. '1n it are ex-

that stoical strength of which France
and other nations have so often given
proof in misfortune. Nevertheless, by
remnant Of that lying trickery innate in
the Teuton. our adversary seeks sti1l to
against all evidence and hopeo, by one
does not know what crazy Illusion, to
succeed in deluding Wilson by euphem-
isms and equivocations."
The Journal says the note seeks to
divide the allies and seeks also to draw
from President wilson a formal declara-
tion that nothing will be asked con-
trary to the honor Of the German peo-
ple," but that an avowal Of defeat 1t Is.
Col. De Thomasson. in the Petit Jour-
nal. says: ''The note is proof that the
German high command considers the
situation of its armies most grave, but
not yet desperate"
Again Trying to ouibb1e.
1.-THE German government is again
trying to quibble," says L'Homme Libre.
'Still, while humiliating itself, 1t does
not admit its defeat, but one feels it is
at the end of it's resistance"
Marcel Cachin, writing in Humanite,
says: "On every point the German gov
ernment clearly shows an effort at con-
ciliation. Good sense and reason dictate
that we do not persist in talking Of
traps and tricks. We said few days
ago that the conversations begun on
October would be continued. We may

THE END IS COMING.

1t has been feared that the Germans
would be able to obtain large supplies of
food from Russia. That fear has been
dispelled. Universal looting is going on
everywhere. The railroads are practical
lv useless. Food is stolen from the cars,
from the storehouses and from the farms.
The only way the Germans can get food
in Russia at the present time is to JOIN
the thieves and eat the food asstast as
they can steal it. Mobs have robbed the
banks and here once more the Kaiser has
been too late. The Bolskeviki govern
ment c?) has repudiated the Indebtedness
of Russia, and is looking for an opportu-
nifty to maintain it's waning hold on its
deluded supporters When there is no
more food to steal, and the supply OF
vodka is drained to the dregs, the wan
dering mobs will disintregate and Lenine
and Trotzky will be all there is left of the
Bolshiviki, and they will be lucky if they
get out of Russia in season to save their
lives

Fuel Shortage and Health.

The shortage in the coal supply is not
without its advantages, according to the
State. Department of Health. The saw
ing of fuel which is essential may actual
ly help in the long run in improving
health conditions. That men can keep
well even with reduction in the tenn
perature of living room and office is the
conclusion of recent investigators. Ac-
cording to a large number of expert
ments, the low temperatures running
from sixty to sixty-eight degrees, as
compared with those high temperatures
so often prevailing in buildings, are bene-
fetal to health. A person staying an
hour or more in a warm room develops
about degree of fever, leading to colds,
infections, fatigue, etc. The following
statement made by Dr. w. A. Evans of
Chicago has it's bearing on the New Eng
land fuel situation:
Gas to efficiency and low tempera-
ture, several researches have shown that
men will do more work and do it more
accurately if the temperature of the room
or office is reasonably low Winslow of
Yale making this test found that stenog-
raphers did 63 per cent more work when
the temperature was 68 degrees than
when it was rs degrees. Men doing mod
crate manual labor did Is per cent more
work at the lower temperature. The
New York labor commission on ventila-
ton found that men working at both Of
flee and at manual labor in a tempera-
ture of 68 degrees, were good humored,
energetic, did good work and were given
to less drowsiness than usual. On the
other hand when the room temperature
was over 10 degrees they were drowsy,
lifeless, and with less inclination to
work"
"But fresh air is Just as necessary as
ever" says the State Department. 'Fresh
air must find it's way into every office,
living room, public building. To save a
little extra coal and invite an illness is
poor economy"

PEAT.
lives.

Almost every day we read something
about peat in New England and it's great
value as fuel 1t is true that we have
quantities of peat and that heat can be
obtained from it, but it has never been
used here except in limited or an ex-
detrimental way because at best it is not
well adapted to household use and not
disable for furnaces or under steam boil
ers. Another reason is that it can only
be obtained and prepared for use in a sea-
son of drought, and at time of year
when people near peat bogs are employ
ed in raising or harvesting food products.
Not until wood and coal are unobtalnable
will any great amount of peat be cut in
New England and when that time comes,
if there is no means of cooking food and
warming houses except by burning peat
there will be general migration to
warmer section of the country. Peat for
fuel in New England is "pipe dream"

OH, THE DUTCH!

Holland is mad because the United
States refuses to deliver 1000 machine
guns and 1000 900 cartridges which she
has bought here. Holland ought not to
complain about that. She is not at war
and does not need those things. We are
at war and need machine guns very much.
We have the promise of some next sum-
mer. Be patient little sister, We'll fill
your order in year or two, Last fall
we sold our coal to Northwestern Canada
and neglected to supply ourselves, so we
are not able to keep our smelters, our
steel works, our factories and our ma
chine shops running day and night as we
ought to be doing. Do not blame u.s.
You made a similar blunder when you
sold your meat and food stutfs to Ger

THIS HELPS.

Although Brazil is sending no troops to
aid the Allies she is doing her bit against
Germany. When Brazil declared that
she was III the war she seized 80 German
ships which were in her ports. These
ships averaged about 1000 tons each.
France has chartered these ships and
they are to be used in transporting the
Brazilian coffee crop and some 10000, 900
bushels of wheat which England and
France have bought of Argentina. 1t is
a source of no little qualification to know
that Germany is not to get the surplus
wheat from Argentina. The President
of that country is pro-German but the
people have no sympathy with Prussian-
ism. AS long as the Allies get what sur
plus wheat and meats the country can
produce Argentina is also doing her bit.

to move up little nearer the head Rou-
tine and inaction has spoiled them but
red tape holds them in line. These are
the men who have stood in the way of
real preparedness. The fault of the
whole system lies in the fact that fitness,
energy and two listed strength is not con-
sidered. Men like General Wood have to
stand back and wait till seniority has had
its day. Red tape is routine not only in
promotion but in method of doing busi-
ness. Red tape is procrastination and
circumlocution. When business man
wants to buy brooms or any other article,
he finds out the market price, gives his
order, gets the goods and if they are as
represented he pays for them. 1t does
not take long for business man to do

definite purpose. When the Kaiser de-
cided to convert the cathedral bells into
cannon, in less than week they were on
their way to Krupps, and it is safe to say
that in less than a month the cannon
