when its messages have been shifted to

FAVOR CONSIDERING
 GERMAN PEACE NOTE
Maifesto Issued by Trades Union in London Asserting 'ReasOned
 Consideration"

London, Oct. 9.-In manifesto issued by the Parliamentary Commit tee of the Trades Union Congress and the labor party executive ,the opinion is expressed that the German peace offer is entitle0 to reasoned >consid-. eration.
 "We recognize" the manifesto adds, "that further elucidation of the proposals is absolutely necessary be- fore the allies military effort can be checked, while as an essential prelim- mary the enemy must withdraw his armies from all occupied territory and give public unequivocal declara- tion of their willingness to apply the principles formulated by President Wilson honestly and unreservedly to every question to be treated with in the final settlement"
 The manifesto urges the entente governments to declare that unquali- fled acceptance of President Wilson's conditions, including a league of na- tions, would be the beginning of off cial negotiations for general peace.
 It calls upon the British govern. ment to explore the new avenue of peace with the, single desire to ascer- tain whether it leads to new inter- national order and general peace.

Ut Is Really Astonishing What Tanlac Will Dc" He Declares-Both Him self and Wife Benetted.

My wife gained sixteen pounds on Tanlac and don't look like she was ever sick day, and gained several pounds on one bottle and feel like a new man," said Capt w. B. Burns, $40 Twelfth street, Augusta. Ga.
 "It is really. astonishing what Tanlac will do," he continued. My wife was sick a long time and took treatments and medicine all the tune, but nothing seemed to do her any good. Finally she just had to give up and go to bed and l got Tanlac for her. 1t went after her trouble from the start and after talk ing three bottles she was as well as ever in her life and had gained six teen pounds besides.
 AS to myself. I had suffered from indigestion, nervousness and disord- cred kidneys until I was about ready to quit and give up my run altoge- ther. My head ached for three weeks at a strtch and l was simply so run down that l could hardly go.. See ing what it had done for my wife, I tried Tanlac, too, and it has strengthened me out in hurry. never have a sign of indigestion or headache, my kidneys are in fine shape and there's not an ache or pain about me-"

Vienna, Oct. 9.-In opening the Austrian Chamber of Deputies Baron von Hussarek, the Austrian primier announced that a peace note had been sent to President Wilson and said:
 "In measure the note accepts the basis for negotiations indicated by an important personality in the adverse camp. It is evidence that the central powes are disposed to adopt a course leading to a pacific end.
 But I cannot deny that this basis requires in many details modifica- tion of the political ideas which thus far have directed public opinion. Nev- ertheless I hope this assembly will approve of the new step leading to an epoch in which the great peoples of the world will decide their own fu- ture.

Take Middle of Road.


 The general belief here is that the chancellor will endeavor to find a middle course and confine himself in his reply to half way admissions, hoping thus to begin long diplomat ic discussion which might develop differences between the entente allies and America as to war aims, and to lower the morale of the armies op- posed to the Central powers.
 Any such move is certain of fail ure and in the meantime the German armies An the west are being subject ed to increasingly hard blows from Marshal Foch's forces-blows which are aiding to the difficulties of the German high command in extrcating their forces from an already serious situation.
 Must Pay Damages.
 The fact that American amhassa- dor Sharp is making a personal in- vestigation of the havoc wrought by the Germans in their forced retire ment from French and Belgian terri tory has led to the belief that it is the purpose of the state department to fully support the enormous claims for OdmdSeS WHICH Ner1llany must meet as condition of peace.
 So faN@e American government has not indicated a disposition to join with the entente allies in con- tinuing a threat to destroy German city or town in retaliation for every such community destroyed by the Germans in France and Belgium, but MT. Sharp's investigation might be regarded as also indicating purpose to join in such representations should the facts sustain the press reports of the extent of the dagame from the atrocities.
