BELGIAN CITIZENS MURDERED
WITHOUT MILITARY WARRANT

With the British Army in Belgium.
An inspection OF numerous German
posters in Belgium discloses that
wherever the death penalty for Of
lenses by civilians was exacted no
signatures were attached. 1t Is there
fore concluded that no German COM
mander was willing to take an indi-
vidual responsibility for such orders,
possibly fearing consequences in tho
future.
This was especially the case in
Bruges. In addition to the visible evi.
dence. it was testified to by NJ. Ech.
evin. one OF the aldermen who at.
tended the execution of Captain Fry.

SAFEGUARDS ARE DEMANDED
ARMIES IN FIELD MUST MAKE
VIRTUAL SURRENDER BEFORE
ARMisTIcE is CONSIDERED.
People Have No Means Of FORCING
Military Authorities to Agree to
Any Plans for Peace.

Wash:ngton.-Prss sident Wilson has
submitted the German plea for an
armistice and peace to the allies, and
at tho same time has informed Berlin
hat there can be no armistice except
upon terms that would make 1t impos.
sible for Germany to renew hostili.
ties.
While consenting to dea; further
with the present authorities in Ger
many, the President has given them
this warming:
III 1t (the United States) must deal
with the military masters and mon
archical autocrats OF Germany now.
or IL 1t is likely to have to deal with
them later in regard to the interna-
tional obligations OF the German en-
pire, 1t must demand. not peace nego.
tiations. but surrender. Nothing can
be gained by leaving this essential
thing unsaid.-
The Presidents reply to the last
German note was handed to the
charge Of the Swiss legation for trans
mission to the German government.
1t accedes to the request that he take
up with the allies the proposals Of
the new spokesman of the German
people. but does 1t with notice that
virtual surrender OF the Teutonic ar
mics in the field will be the price de-
manded for Interruption OF the beat
Ing now being administered.
In transmitting the matter to the
allies. the President says he has sug-
gested that II they are disposed to
effect peace on his terms and princi-
pies now accepted by the present Ger
man authorities. the American and al
lied military advisers be asked. IL they
deem such an armistice possible from
military point OF view, to submit
such terms as will fully protect the
interests OF the peoples involved and
insure to the associated governments
the unrestricted power to enforce
peace on the conditions accepted.
AS to the authority OF the new
spokesman OF the German people, he
speaks, as the pote says. without any
attempt to soften what may seem
harsh words" and tells the men with
whom he is dealing. and through
them the German people. why such
extraordinary safeguards must be de-
manded before hostilities can cease.

AMERICAN A|RMEN IN ATTACK
Since Present Operations Began Amer
can Forces Have Taken Twenty
Thousand Prisoners.

On the western battle front the
British, French and American forces
have continued to make further slight
gains against the Germans; in the
Italian theater both the British and
Italians have scored successes while
in Asiatic Turkey the British have
captured Aleppo in Syria and are
driving ahead on both banks Of the
Tigris and Mesopotamia, with Turks
unable to check them. The fall OF
Aleppo and the continued advance up
the Tigris. are moves OF such strate.
gic value that it is not unlikely Turk
ish opposition shortly will be entirely
overcome both in the Holy Land and
Mesopotamia.
The Americans have begun the Sec
ond month OF their operations in the
region Of Verdun by keeping up their
attacks against The Germans from the
Meuse to the wooded country north of
Grand Pre-. Some further progress
has been made Notwithstanding con-
tinued opposition by German machine
gunners from behind the natural for
