 LONDON, Oct. 20 (11:17 p. m.).- Official quarters in London were still without news of the German reply to President Wilson at late hour tonight.
 The view here is that in the event that the reply is unaccept- able to the entente powers, Austria and Turkey will arrange a joint conference for the purpose of talk. ing independent peace action.
 MADRID, Oct. 2o.-The Spanish government, according to the newspapers, has received an off cial communication from the Ger man government, stating that the German admiralty has ordered submarines to return immediately to their bases.
 LONDON, Oct. 20.-The abdica. ton of Emperor William and the crown prince is the only means of solving the "terrible crisis" &C., cordinq to opinions expressed by the Munich Post, the Swaebische Tagwacht and Frankische Morgen- post, an Exchange telegraph dis patch from Zurich says. It is add ed that the more rapidly the abdi- cation is brought about, the better for the country.
 AMSTERDAM, Oct. 20.-Accord- ing to advices reaching here today from Germany, the German reply to President Wilson may not be ready until Monday.
 Republican A. p. Leased WIreJ
 AMSTERDAM, Saturday, Oct. 19.-German independent socialists probably will participate in the drafting of the note to President Wilson, according to the Vossische Zeitung of Berlin. The news- paper states that Hugo Haase, leader of the socialist minority in the reichstae, and George lede- bour, social democratic leader, have conferred on the subject with konstantin Fehrenbach, president of the reichstag.
 "The people will defend them selves if they are obliged to do so," they are said to have informed him. "The organ of the general commission of trades unions has issued a statement on behalf of those organization declaring:
 "We are prepared for most resolute resistance. if the enemy rejects our peace offer. We have no intention of making peace at any price. We must resolutely reject such a peace as imperiaIis- tic France and England would like to dictate"
 Republican A. p. Leased WlreJ WASHINGTON, Otc. 20.-So mar reports about German T ply to President Wilson have come O of Holland and Switzerland during tl past few days, that officials here a disposed now to believe nothing on Il subject until the text of a note is r ceived.
 Every version of the probable natu of the reply under consideration, if n indicates that the Germans a. preparing to come forward with wh they, at least. will expect the world believe is a long step toward meetir which President Wilson h; said must be met before there can thought of an armistice or discussion peace.

 The newspaper says that all the German constructed military works at Ostend, zeebrugge and elsewhere were tieher dismantIed entirely and carried off, or left in an unusable condition.

ian1-In your issue OF November the
18th, 1918. I notice that someone
took pains to attack the colored
school teacher at Grays Flats, and /
viii say that I was one OF the speak
erS that was assigned to Grays Flats,
along with Mrs. Sample to make
talk in behalf OF the United War
Work.
And on arriving at Grays Flats, we
were informed that the meeting would
have to be conducted at a private
house, as the Board Of Education
would not permit any meeting In any
Of the school houses unless they had
been notified OF that fact and the ma
ture of the meeting. Chat I found to
be the case all over Marion county,,
at once sent word, to the teacher to
send me down the key for the school
house and then would notify the
board that was the one to blame and
not the teacher. as the meeting hao
not been advertised and the Wa'
Work board decided that It might d.
some good to have a meeting at tina;
place.
wish to say on behalf OF the color
ed teacher at that place that she a:
ance sent me the key fox the house
nd besides came down to the meet
ing and gave US all the assistance
that she possibly could, and In all
fairness to the young lady did all she
could to make the meeting success.
and viii say that from what I under
stand, that party who signed their
name indignat in the Issue Of Novem-
Der, II they VIII only do as much and
contribute as much as Annette Cole
man, the colored girl that is trying to
teach those colored children at Grays
fats, In my opinion they will have
enough to do without trying to black
mail other people who are trying to
do all they can, to help in the war
work and also trying to assist he1
race IN securing an education.
