French Call On German
High Command to Con

Brussels Is Scene
OF Great Disorder
Officers at Front Propose
Individual Surrender
to the Allies

LONDON. Nov. IA (2:14 D. na.).
German soldiers are committing
acts of violence against inhabitants
and are destroying and pillaglng,
contrary to the terms of the armis-
Ice, according to French official
wireless message received here to-
day.
The message, which is from the
Allied High Command to the Ger
man High Command, says that the
Allied command expects the German
command to take measures to stop
the violations. If the acts increase,
1t is added. the allied command will
take steps to end them.
Text of Message
The wireless message reads;
From Marshal Foch to the Ger
man High Command: Information
has been received by the Allied
High Command that at different
points, especially in Belgium and
more particularly in the Brussels
region, the German troops are COM
mlttlng acts of violence against the
inhabitants and acts of destruction
and pillage which are clearly con-
trary to the conditions of the armis-
tice.
The Allied High Command expects
that the German High Command
will without delay take measures
necessary to stop these violations of
the convention which has been
signed. If the acts do not cease
within a very short period the Al
lied High Command will be obliged
to take steps to put an end to them. -
Officers Offer Surrender
A significant message from the
Allied High Command to the Ger
man High Command has been sent
out by the French government wire.
less stations. 1t reads:
"The commanders Of the German
armies continue to propose to the
commanders of the Allied armies
facing them that they should imme-
diately hand over their war mate
rial and prisoners to the Allies"
The las message above evidently
means that commanders Of individ-
ual German army groups are pro-
posing to commanders Of Allied sec
tors to give up their arms immedi-
ately and that Foch wishes to obtain
the consent Of the German General
Staff before agreeing to this ar
rangement.
The German soldiers in various
sections of the occupied territory
apparently have been getting out of
hand. In some places they have at
tackled their commanders and raised
the red flag Of revolt. This may be
the reason for the German request.

Moreover, regardless of pride or
patriotism, we cannot, for the sake
of our own advantage as an organ
ization, allow these opportunities
for larger service to pass by. Things
which were but partially accom-
plished before, perhaps not at all,
have been made comparatively easy
because large masses of people have
become acquainted with certain

that such joint labors can not in

distinctive personality-the fault
lies not in it's affiliations but some
inherent weakness. The Council is
sufficiently we'll established, sufh-
GENTLY strong to hold it's own in
the face of all affiliations.
Indifference, supine satisfaction
with the old order, an insensibility
to the world about us which is pull
ing us into it's throng; or stubborn
resistance to all connection with
organizations which we may serve
and which are ready and able to
serve us these attitudes will deprive
us of the chance to grow. Time and
the great tide will pass us by and
we shall become, along with many
others, obsolete, provincial.
Two things are needed funda-
mentally one, realization of where
we stand, between the old, exclusive,
sectarian philanthropy and the new,
community, cooperative, imperson-
al service, where each part perfects
itself for the benefit of the whole.
The second essential is the mani
festation of this attitude in actual
volunteer duty, except in cases of
illness or of temporary inability to
leave the home, not woman in our
ranks should refuse to give a part
of every day to some useful, al
truistic work.
Representatives, officers, direc-
tors, can attempt to supply ideas
and the planned direction of work.
Numbers of women, like the SOL
diers of a loyal army, give judge
ment with the capacity and the will
ingness to use their hands and their
feet untiringly, under direction and
without personal motives or the de-
sire for recognition-these are
needed if we are to add our small
but by no means negligible part to
the finely humanitarian, the nobly
humble effort to help wherever our
help may avail.

sassinated by Serbian fanatics.
In revenge for this crime, Austria
Hungary tried to make a vassal state
OF Serbia, and thus gave to the Ger
