Bid Goodbye without Regret.

Amsterdam, Oct. 28.-President
Wilson's note to Germany was
printed textualIy in the German
newspapers on Thursday evening and
on Friday morning. The Vossische
Zeitung of Berlin printed the Eng
lish text alongside the note in Ger
man.
Aside from the junker organs.
which proclaimed the necessity of
every man coming to the front for
the emperor and the empire. many
papers apparently contemplate with
out excessive lament the prospective
disappearance of the Hohenzollern
dynasty. The emperors abdication
again is strongly rumored to be inn
pending.
1t is noteworthy that the Frank
fort Gazette hints at a coming ''sacri-
flee" with comparative equanimity,
and both the Berlin and Frankfort
stock exchanges showed an improved
tendency as a result of President.
Wilsos note.
Fears are not concealed that the
Entente conference at Paris will put0
forward demands incompatible with
German honor but the anxiety to-
know the exact terms of the as-f
sociated governments puts everything
else in the background.

or is said to have remarked:
II will not abandon my
sorely tried people, but, If
necessary I am ready to be-
come something like heredi-

public like the kings of Eng

quent victories have been the
results of dishonesty

While the military and naval
members of the council are drawing
terms of an armistice which will be
tantamount to surrender by Germany,
the political representatives of the
Entente powers are expected to dis
cuss the individual peace views of
their governments with a view to
formulating a complete program to
be presented If Germany accepts the
terms of the armistice.
Germany's Reply.

new note follows:
THE German Government has
taken cognizance of the answer of
the President of the United States
THE President is aware of the
carried out and are being carried out
in the German constitutional struc-
ture, and that peace negotiations are
being conducted by a Peoples Gov
ernment, in whose hands rests, both
actually and consGtutionally. the
power to make the deciding con-
clusions. The military powers are
also subject to it.
THE German Government now
awaits proposals for an arrlistice.
which shall be the first step toward
a just peace, as the President has
described it in his proclamation.

New Austro-Hungarian Foreign Min.
ister Suspected of Having Pro-

Paris Oct. 2S.-Grave troubles
have broken out at Budapest as the
result of the appointment of Count
Julius Andrassy, who is suspected of
Germanophile tendencies, to be Aus
Hungarian foreign minister, says
a Zurich dispatch to the Matin. A
committee of workmen and soldiers
has been formed to represent the ex-
tremist party in impending events.
German newspapers maintain that
mutinous Croatian troops still are
masters of the city of Fiume, in spite
of official statements that they were
under control, according to the Eur

who says that the Croatians have
driven the Hungarians from the city.
Amsterdam, Oct. 2.-Austria has

to the famishing Austrian capital.
A dispatch from Prague to the
newspapers dated October "a says
that in compliance with a demand
made by American bankers the
Czech leaders have given an under
standing that the prospective Czech
government will make an effort to
have the new regime in Bohemia come
into operation with excesses.
The correspondent adds that this
is borne by the entirely calm be-
havior of the Czechs in Prague who
are entitled to credit at least for the
present for keeping perfect dis
cipline.

Speedy End of Nightmare''-DaiIy
Mail in No Hurry to Disclose Terms
Times Wary of Trap

London, Oct. 28.-"The brevitv of
the German reply to President Will
sons note is-a measure of its signi-
ficance," says the Daily News. pres
1dent Wilson's note put an end to fur
| ther argument. 1t is due to DR.. SoIf,
that his note is precisely what the oc-
casion demanded"
''If peace, as the new posture of
Germany warrants us in believing, is
coming within reach" the newspa-
per continued, "there must be no de-
lay in taking steps to end hostilities.
There is no justification in fighting,
on for what can be had for the ask
ing. The terms for an armistice must
be rigorous, but must not be need
1essly So"
The Express enumerating the lat
est occurrences in Germany, includ-
ing the reply to President Wilson, ex-
claims:
The signs portend enough, point
ing to a speedy end of the nightmare
and indicating an acceptance of the
terms soon 10 De Q1Ctated.
The Chronicle says:
The German reply is, in effect an
unqualified acceptance. Nothing re-
mains but for the associated powers
to announce without delay the pro-
gram of naval and military measures
which the armistice necessitates. It
is unlikely that Germany will object
to the details after agreeing to the

desperate, she never would have gone
as far as she has. If any confirmation
were needed as to the significance of
DR.. Solf's reply, it would be found in
Gen. Ludendorff's resignation"
The Daily Mail hopes and believes
the Allies will not do anything so
foolish" as to Immediately disclose
the terms upon which they are will
ing to grant an armistice. The paper
says the German reply does not meet
President Wilson's questions and, aft
er summarizing the most recent hap
peningS in Germany, declares, in ef-
feet, that nothing is altered there.
"The sword still is in the hand of
autocracy' the paper says. cit will
be time enough for Marshal Foch to
state the terms when that sword has
been broken or surrendered"
"The promptitude of the reply may
be accepted rs conveying evidence at
least of Germany'S desire and need of
an armistice" says the Post. "Dr.
Soils assurances regarding far-reach-
ing changes are not very satisfying.
however, Nothing has happened as
vet to suggest that anything funda-
mental has been changed in Germany
except the expectation of victory. The
first condition of any armistice is
that Germany shall be unable to
break it or refuse the conditions the
Allies dictate. If the German gov
eminent means business it will send
plenipotentiaries to Marshal Foch,
but from present indications, Ger

ing time
The Times says:
'"rhere is no new viewpoint in the
German reply except that it seeks
rather crudcly to impose upon Pres
idcnt Wilson and the Allies the initia-
ton of proposals for an armistice. 1t
is for the Germans to approach the
naval and military commanders with

President Replies to Criticism
Made by Republican Leaders
EQUAL TREATMENT FOR ALL
Intended No Restrictions On Internal
Policies, Wilson Exp1ains-Repub
icanS in Senate Demand Repre-
Peace Terms.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-President
Wilson replied today to republican
contentious that the third of his 4
peace terms is a free trade plank by
explaining that in demanding the re-
moval of economc barriers he meant
to suggest no restriction upon internal
economic policies, but only that
whatever tariff, high or low, any ma
ton might deem necessary, it should
apply equally to all foreign nations.
The president made the explanation
in a letter to Senator Simmonds of
North Carolina, chairman of the sem
ate finance committee, who had
written him asking for a statement
because certain republican leaders
are attempting to make partisan use"
of the paragra ph. "Weapons of
economic discipline and punishment"
the president wrote, should be left
to the joint action of all nations for
the purpose of Furnishing those who
will not submit to general program
of justice and equality"
He added that the inject the bogey
of free trade which is not involved at
all was to attempt to divert the minds
of that nation from broad principle
of a durable peace, and that it was
lamentable that momentous issues of
this solemn hour should be seized
upon in an effort to bent them to
partisan service
The Presidents letter.
The presidents letter follows:
Dear Senator: I am glad to re-
spond to the question addressed to
me by your letter of October 26. The
words T in address q
congress of January s, 1918, were:
1.-THE removal, so far as possible, of
all economic barriers and the esta-
lishment of an equality of trade con-
ditions among all nations consenting
10 the peace and asIoCEn ng ! theEl-
selves for it's maintenance.
II, of course meant to suggest no
restriction upon the free determination
policy, but only that, what
ever, tariff any nation might deem
necessary for it's own economic
service, be that tariff high or low, it
should apply equally to all foreign
nations; in other words that there
shall be no determinations against
some nations that did not apply to
others. This leaves every nation free
to determine for itself its own in
ternal policies and limits only it's
right to compound these policies of
hostile determinations between one
nation and another. Weapons of
economic discipline and punishment
should be left to the joint action of
"all nations for the purpose of punish
ing those who will not submit to q
general program of justice and
equality.
1.-The experiences of the past among
nations have taught us that the at
tempt by one nation to punish another
by exclusive and discriminatory trade
agreem ents has been q prolific breeder
of that kind of antagOnism which
often results in war, and that if Il
permanent peace is to be established

DOINGS OF LOCAL CHAPTER
 OF THE AMERICAN RED CROSS

Bulletin recently issued by Brigadier General Frederick s. Foltz at Camp Lewis, Washington. As it relates to the method employed in distributing the knitted articles upon which the womer of Seward are so buslly en- gagged, it will no doubt be of interest to the members of the local chapter.
 The American Red Cross Society Iesires to furnish one woolen sweater and two pairs of wooden socks to all members of this Command who need them. These articles are to be issued to each regiment as part Vf the regi- mental equipment and not as the per sonal property of the soldier, so that when a man is separated from the service these articles should remain with the regiment for reissue.
 Regimental and separate organiza- tion commanders will submit to this office before noon Monday, January 2S, 1918, q requisition of the numocr of sweaters and socks needed com petely to equip their organization. This does not contemplate the fur niShing of additional sweaters, ard in cases where men already have sweat CTS and socks and do not need more, no acquisition should be placed Cor these men."In q letter from C. D.. $timson, Division Manager in regard to the distribution of knitted articles we quote the following:
 "You will readily see the advantage of sending all articles through the re- gular channels so that they can be given to the men who really need them.
 It avoids any chance of duplication and will insure a proper check being ! kept on the equipment so that it nay not be sold or given away"
