WHO WILL LOAN
 CARS AND DRIVERS TO MOTOR SQUAD
Helen Bishop Hincks Points Out Needs of Extending
 Nurses Power to Aid.

Helen Bishop Hincks. captain of the Bridgeport Motor Squad. asks for more cars. She said in a statement this morning:
 Do the people of Bridgeport real ize the need of more cars to convey nurses from home to home during the influenza epidemic? For several weeks we have been supplying from 12 to Is cars a day. More cars are needed. Those who have chauffeurs who can be spared parts of one or two days week are urged to send their names to the undersigned at the War Bureau. Telephone Barnum 7814.
 Lives are at t'stake-Loaned automo- piles will save many. One automobile enables a nurse to make three or four times as many calls as she otherwise could. Nurses are scarce, therefore we want to help those in Bridgeport to triple their work.

BULCARS WANTED GREEKS TO GIVE
 UP THEIR LAND

Saloniki, Saturday, Oct. 27 - The Bulgar:ans during the occupation of eastern Macedonia attempted to force the Greeks of that province to become Bulgarians and treated the Greeks cruelty, declares Dr. Pazis, vice chamberlain, and deputy for Seres.
 There were wholesale deportations and the people were abandoned to famine, outrage and murder" said Dr. Pazis who has just returned from a trip through eastern Macedonia.
 The destruction of villages far from the war zone was a measure to which the Bulgarians would not have had recourse had eastern Macedonia been Bulgarian instead of Greek. The Bulgars gathered together a large number of Greek children and sent them into Bulgaria without thS par ents of the children knowing the pur- poses of the Bulgarians."

TIME TO STATE TERMS WHEN SWORD HAS BEEN BROKEN OR SURRENDERED

Washington, Oct. 2S-Germany's reply to President Wilson's last note was rathcr unexpected here and un- til receipt of the official text through the Swiss legation, comment was withheld. Generally. the note was not regarded as one requiring an an- swer.
 The diplomatic situation is just where it was when President Wilson informed the German government that it's request for peace has been transmitted to the Allied govern ments. The next step expected was tice to Germany.
 Announcement from London that Premier Lloyd George and Foreign Secretary BaIfour had left for France with naval and military advisers, fore shadowed an early meeting of the Supreme War Council at Versailles. While the military and naval mem ibers of the Council are drawing terms of an armistice which will be tantamount to surrender by Germany, the political representatives of the
  cuss the individual peace views of their governments with a view to for mulating a complete program to bs presented if Germany accepts the terms of the armistice.
 London, Oct. 2S.---The brevity of the German reply to President Vii sons note is a measure of it's signifi- canoe says the Daily News. Presi- dent Wilson's note put an end to fur ther argument. It is due to Dr. Solf the German foreign secretary, to say that his note is precicely what the oc- casion demanded.
 If peace, as the new posture of Germany warrants us in believing is coming within reach" the newspaper continues, there must be no delay to taking to ending hostilities. There is no justification in fighting on for what can be had for the asking. The | terms for an armistice must be rigor- ous, but must not be needlessly so."
 The Express, enumerating the lat est occurrences in Germany, includ- ing the reply to President Wilson, ex- claims:
 | The signs portend enough, pointing to a speedy end of the nightmare and Indicating an acceptance of the terms soon to be dictated"
 The Chronicle says: "The German reply is in effect an unqualified ac- ceptance. Nothing remains but fol the associated powers to announce without delay the program of maya and military measures which the ar mistice necessitates. It is unlikel! that Germany will object to the de tails after agreeing to the principle If her situation were not desperate she never would have gone as far a: she has. If any confirmation wer, needed as to the significance of Dr Solfs reply it would be found in Gen eral Ludendorff's resignation"

Husky Youth Must

Poppet is 20 years old, looks big and husky, but has done no work all sum- mer and has been hanging around the beach at Fayerweather island. His mother works and has been sup porting him.

the Allies Twill not do anything fool ish" as to immediately disclose the terms upon which they are yelling to grant an armistice. The paper says the German reply does not meet Pres ident Wilson's questions, and after summarizing the most recent propo- sitions in Germany, declares, in effect, that nothing is altered there. ''The sword still is in the hand of autocracy," the paper says. Tt will be time enough for Marshal Foch to state the terms when the sword has been broken or surrendered" ''The promptitude of the reply may be accepted as convincing evidence at least of Germany's desire and need of an armistice," says the Post. "Dr. Solf's assurances regarding far-reaching changes are not very satisfying, however. Nothing has happened as yet to suggest that any thing fundamental has been changed in Germany except the expectation of victory. The first condition of any armistice is that Germany shall be unable to break it or refuse the condi- i tions the Allies dictate. If the Ger man government means business, it will send plenipotentiaries but from present indications Germany's rulerG are intent on gaining time" The Times says:
 There is no new view point in the | German reply except that it seeks
 rather crudely to impress upon Presi 1 dent Wilson and the Allies the initia- tion of proposals for an armistice. Il is for the Germans to approach tre
 naval and military commanders with the formal petition for a cessation of war"
 Amsterdam, Oct. 28-Presiden
 Wilson's note to Germany was print ed textually in the German news papers on Thursday evening and or Friday morning. The Vossisiche zeitung of Berlin printed the English text alongside the note in German.
 Aside from the Junker organiza. tion, many papers apparently lament the disappearance of the Hohenzoll' ern dynasty. The Emperor's abdica- I ton again, is strongly rumored. It is noteworthy that the Frank, fort Gazette, hints at coming sacri-
 flee, with comparative equanimity
 and both the Berlin and Frankfor' stock exchanges showed an improved tendency as a result of President Will
 sons note.
 Fears are not concealed that the iEntente conference at Paris will pu
