HUNS MORALE
Rhine Towns Are Despondent
and Hungry

Amsterdam, July "a The sstamina
Of the Germans working in factory
towns along the Rhine is growing
weaker daily, due to allied lombard
ments, food conditions and the long
delayed victory. So say travellers just
returning from Cologne and other
Rhine towns.
Continual bombardment by allied
|aviators of factories and railway sta
tons is having a tremendous effect
on the morale of the people. They are
deserving the cities, by hundreds, and
only military force prevents the NUM-
ton workers from leaving the fac
tories

said one traveller, helped consider
ably to lift the peoples hope. Bull
letins proclaiming the humiliation Of
thousands of Englishmen and French
men were torn from the hands or the
vendors. Houses were covered with
bunting and people shook hands With
each other, crying We are svictors and
shall remain victOrs!
But the cessation Of the rapid adj
vances and the counter attacks by
the allies have again caused "a feeling
of dependency. People no longer be-
lieve the war will be over this year.

The first step was to provide facili-
ties for paying directly the allowances
made to dependents OF soldiers. Ac.
cording to government regulations
married men in the service must al

and more In proportion to the number
of children. In addition. the govern.
ment Is required to pay SIS to wife,
with proportionate increases for each
child. Compensation Is also provided
for dependents such as grandparents,
brothers or sisters.
The allowance to dependents under
these regulations at present involves
mailing from Washington each month
over 100000 checks, averaging about
S25 each.
At the beginning of our entry into

[abrogate payments in gold to its SOL

shipment of so many millions of gold
coin is attended by unusual risks In

such transfers would produce.
Payments to troops abroad are now
made either il the currency Of France
or by check payable In that currency,
according to the desire OF the soldiers.

LONDON, Oct. 15.-The point In Wilson's reply which is given great display by the newspapers is that which asks for guarantee for the maintenance of the present supremacy of the Allied armies.
 Satisfaction is expressed with Wilson's reference to the continued sinking of passenger boats by Ger man submarines and the wanton de- struction made by the Germans in occupied territory.
 His declaration that the condi-- tions of an armistice must be left to military advisors, agrees with the phrase recently expressed here, "Leave 1t to Foch." l

LAST NIGHTS SUMMARY

WASHINGTON, Oct 15.-Presi- dent Wilson in his reply said it must be understood that no arrangement would be accepted which did not pro- vide safeguards and guarantees of maintenance of the present military supremacy of the Armies of the United States and of the Allies.
 The President points out while Germany is proposing peace its sub marines are sinking passenger ships and boats containing non-combatant passengers, including women and children, and is also pursuing a course of wanton destruction during its present retreat from invaded soil
 The President calls attention of the German Government to the one time peace accepted which contained every arbitrary power that can dis turb the peace of the world, and these, he said, must be reduced tc virtual impotency. This is the power he said, which has controlled the German Nation and it is within the choice Of the German Nation to al ter if.
