nothing more. I considered It right
then-I told your father so-and
have not changed my mind. I should
act exactly the same under similar cir

You blackguard!" shouted Stephen.
Pearson ignored him utterly.
Il do owe you an apology" he contin-
ued, "for coming here as l have done
knowing that you were ignorant of the
affair. l believe now that you are mis-
Informed as to the facts, but that Is

He shook himself free from the cap
tain's grasp, bowed to the trio and left
the room. An instant later the outer
door closed behind him.
Caroline turned to her brother.
"Come. Steve" she said.

Elisha did not request now, he COM
manded. "Stevie. stand still. Caroline,
l want to talk to you"
The girl hesitated. She had never
been spoken to In that tone before.
Her pride had been already deeply
wounded BY what she had learned that
afternoon; she was fercely resentful,
angry and rebelilous. She was sure
she never hated any one as she did this
man who ordered her to stay and listen
to him. But-she stayed.

er moment Of silence. II presume

tin, but l presume likely It's Mrs. Dunn

clustered Stephen, pushing forward.
He might have been a fly buzzing on
the wall for all the attention his uncle
paid to him.
Il presume likely the Dunns told
you. Caroline" he repeated calmly.
His niece met his gaze stubbornly.

PRESSING FORWARD,
BAKERS PEACE WORD
Deterioration Facilities in
France Improved.

WARRINGTON, oct. 1.-THE only com.
ment on the subject OF peace which Sec.
rotary Baker would make to-day was:
The War Department Is pressing for.
ward as rapidly as possible. We arc go-
ing right ahead"
Commenting upon the changes which
had occurred in France regarding the
American preparations since his last
trip, Mr.. Baker emphasized the great
success which has attended the efforts
to improve port facilities. The progress
which has been made "a marvellous. he
said, and facilities for unloading ships
now are ahead OF the ships themselves
so that there are frequently open berths
at the great debarkation ports.
The supply service Of the army is not
only equal to present requirements but Ia
equal to the demands which will be made
upon It by the enlarged military pro-
grammef he said.
No serious outbreak OF influenza las
occurred among the troops In France.
The Secretary said the military authori-
ties had been somewhat disturbed, how
ever. by the number OF cases of this dis
ease arriving at the debarkation ports on
incoming ships. The hospital facilities
at these ports have been overtaxed
Hospitals of five and ten thousand
beds each and special hospitals for ccr-
tain forms of surgical relief have been
instituted, with amazing results, Mr..
Baker said, In commenting on his in
spection of American medical facilities

BRITISH OPPOSE
LENIENT ARMISTICE
Absolute Military and Naval
Safeguards Are Demanded.

LONDON, Oct 1.-THE Central News
Agency says it learns that the British
Government will resolutely oppose the
granting OF any arnistice to Germany
unless absolute guarantees, both mill
tary and naval. are forthcoming. In
this attitude Great Britain is whole
heartedly supported by the allied Gov
ernments. who are determined that their
troops shall not be robbed of the fruits
OF their victory

ripe for considering the question an
armistice will not be granted or even
considered without the accompanying

Lord Reading, British Ambassador to
the United States, was summoned to a
meeting OF the War Cabinet this morning
after q conference with Premier Lloyd
George, presumably to give the Cabinet
his personal opinion regarding Presl-
dent Wilson's war views.

SENATE APPLAUDS
PRESIDENTS REPLY


American people. who am certain desire
an unconditional surrender won by the
armies in the neld."
Senator Hitchcock made this COM
ment:
81 think the President has removed all
doubts that have been expressed as to
the wisdom Of his course and has pro-
vided against all the dangers that critics
have seen In the policy that he has been
pursuing. He says that in the posi-
bility of an armistice It must be one
approved by the Generals In the field
and which will preserve the existing
military supremacy OF the Allies.
He lays great stress on the fact that
one OF the conditions he will insist upon
will be the downfall OF the military au-
tocracy in Germany. which means n
radical amendment of the constitution OF
Germany. placing the war and peace
power in the hands of the representa-
tives OF the people. Fortunately this
amendment Of the German constitution
can DO very easily made II the military
power considers itself hopeiessly beaten.
An amendment to the constitution OF
Germany can be made by legislative ac-
ton. That Ia. a bill passed by the
Bundesrath. the upper house. and the
Reichstag will constitute an amendment
to the constitution. provided fourteen
members Of the Rundesrath do not vote
against II. To my mind the greatest
achievement of this war will be the
characterization OF Germany. 1t is the
best assurance for the future peace OF
the world"
Senator Thomas (Col): THE Presi-
dents note is admirable. adequate and
complete in every respect. II Justifies
his previous note"
Senator Warren (wyo): 81 approve
the Presidents note. but I would prefer
that the words Unconditional surrender
had been used"
Senator Sheppard (Tex.): THE Pres.
ident's note will take its place among
the great documents of the world"
Senator Williams (Miss) merely said
Great"
Senator Benet IS. c.. critic of the
last note sent by the President. re-
marked: This note has the punch
Senator Overman IN. c.: THE note

Senator Pittman (Nev): ut is the
contamination OF the Presidents match
less diplomacy 1t Ia so definite and
powerful that even those who could not
construe his former note Of inquiry will
now understand what II meant and what
Il has accomplished. It has forced the
Imperial German Government unQuali-
fiedly and unequivocslly to accept and
bow to the principles of lasting world
peace laid down by Woodrow Wilson.
THE German Government has failed
TO show by It's answer to the last inter-
rogatory of the President that an honest
government had been established by the
people, which at all times has been a
prerequisite laid down by the President
to any peace negotiations.
THE German people must now under
stand that nothing but the abdication OF
the Kaiser and the military party ir
Germany can establish a sufficient con-
hdence to justify the United States and
the Allies in dealing with them In any
| other way except by the force OF arms

his militaristic supporters"

alterable conditions" He said: First.
Germany must pay-pay to the last
farthing Of her capacity to pay; pay
until the generations vet to come will
remember and curse the insane amhi-
tons which well nigh destroyed civil
ization itself
Second. Germany Is a menace 20
mankind because she has a cruel. wicked.

the world and because she has a power
full army and navy to execute her MUIR
derous designs. We cannot change her
intent. for II is the result Of years and
years OF training and teaching in false
and selfish philosophy, but we can dis
arm and leave her helpless and harm
less"
Similarly the apprehension of the Sem
alto was voiced by Senator Reed (Mo).
Some months ago the President laid
down the fourteen principles which he
said must constitute the basic ideas of
any peace that might be declared" he
said. Later he gave expression to GER
tain additional Ideas. Last September
he added four or Ave important condi-
tons and at various times he has eX-
pressed his opinion as to what ought to
constitute a basis Of settlement.
