(BERLIN'S REPLY IS CONFESSION OF ATROCITIES

(Continued from page one)

fetatlhg tKat n was (Tone at the'prestident’s request and seeks to give the Impression that it was done upon the (demands of the German people.” Text of the Note. London, Oct. 22.—The text of the German note, as received by wireless, is as follows: “In accepting the proposal for an evacuation of occupied territories the (German government has started from the*hssumption that the procedure of ithfs evacuation and of the conditions of an armistice should be left to the Judgment of the military advisers and that the actual standard of power on [both sides in the field has to form th* basis foi arrangements safeguarding and guaranteeing this standard. “The German government suggests to the president that an opportunity should be brought about for fixing the details. “It* trusts that the president of the •United States will approve of no demand which would be irreconcilable -with the honor of the German people and wltrf opening a way to a peace of Justice. Protests Atrocity Charges. “The German government protests against the reproach of illegal and inhuman actions made against the German tend and sea forces and thereby against the German people. For the covering of a retreat destructions will always be necessary and they are carried out in so far as is permitted by International law. The German troops are under most strict instructions to spare private property and to exercise care for the population to the best of their ability. Where transgressions ; pccur In spite of these instructions the

guilty are punished. “The German government further denies that the German navy in sinking ships has ever purposely destroyed lifeboats with their passengers. The German government proposes with regard to all those charges that the facts be cleared up by neutral commissions. “In order to avoid anything that might hamper the work of peace, the German government has caused orders to be dispatched to all submarine ..commanders precluding the torpedoing of passenger ships without, however, for technical reasons, being able to guarantee that these orders will reach every single submarine at sea before its return. “As a fundamental condition for peace the president prescribes the ‘destruction of every arbitrary power that can separately, secretly and of its own single choice disturb the peace of the world.’ To this the German government replies: New Government Held in Accord. “The constitution did not provide for a concurrence of presentation of the people in decisions of peace and war. These conditions have just now undergone a fundamental change. A new government has been formed in complete accordance with the wishes (principle?) of the representation of the people, based on equal, universal, secret, direct franchise. “The leaders of the great parties of the relchstag are members of this government. In the future no government can take or continue in offlee without possessing the confidence of a majority of the relchstag. “The responsibility of the chancellor of the empire to the ♦epresentation of the people is being legally developed and safeguarded. The first act of the new government has been to lay before the relchstag a bill to alter the constitution of the empire so that the consent of the representation of the people is required for decision on war anfi peace. Backed by People, Claim. “The permanence of the new system is, however, guaranteed not only by constitutional safeguards, but also by the unshakable determination of the German people, whose vast majority stands behind these reforms and demands their energetic continuance. “The question of the president—with whom he and the governments associated against Germany are dealing—is, therefore, answered in a clear, unequivocal manner by the statement that the offer of peace and an armistice has come from a government which is free from any arbitrary and irresponsible Influence, is supported by the approval of an overwhelming majority of the German people.

YANKEES TAKE HILL AND WOODS IN THREE HOURS

U. S. Mfcn Clear Bois De Rappes and Take Hill Number 299. FIERCE MACHINE GUN FIRE Despite Every Effort of the Germans the Americans Steadily Forge Ahead —Taking of Bantheville Wood Is Called Minor Success. Washington, Oct. 22.—The following communique was received from General Pershing: “In the course of stubborn fighting north of Verdun we have advanced our lines at several points. This morning our troops took Hill 299 and drove th'e enemy from the Bois Des Rappes, capturing six officers, 225 men and a number of machine guns. Farther west they have improved their positions on the northern edge of the Bois de Bantheville and have made progress northeast of St. Juvin. East of the Meuse the enemy violently bombarded our position in the Bois Caures.”

With the American Army Northwest of Verdun, Oct. 22. —The American attack, (hough on a comparatively small scale, was entirely successful. The Bois De Ilappe and a formidable hill, No. 299, both points of strategic importance, were rushed and cleared of the enemy within three hours, despite unusual machine gun opposition. . The artillery on both sides was fairly active throughout the day and the aviators were up from early until late, but the infantry action was confined to two local operations. Clear Wood in Three Hours. The advance on the Bois De Ilappe began jAist before noon. The wood was infested with machine guns, which were not entirely eliminated by the brief shelling. Despite every effort of the Germans, however, the Americans steadily forged ahead, driving the enemy before them, and at three o’clock in the afternoon were in complete possession of the wood. Hill 299 fell almost simultaneously with the BOis De Rappe, which outflanked it. The Germans consequently retired hastily from the heights when it appeared the Americans had' been successful in forcing their passage through the wood. But 150 Germans were taken prisoner. Another minor success for the Americans was the expulsion of the enemy from.his last positions in Bantheville wood. He had hung on to the northern edges of this machine gun stronghold, from which it was possible to direct a harrassing enfilading fire.

PROOF HUNS CRUCIFIED COLE

Washington Has Letters That Will Prove It, He Sayjj Washington, Oct. 22.—Senator Poindexter of Washington read to the senate a letter from Dr, T. 11. Howard of St. Louis, stating that a brother of Sergt. A. B. Cole of East Liverpool, O„ who served with the Cana.dian forces in France, had affidavits to prove the widely circulated story that the sergeant was crucified upon a door with German bayonets. Senator Poindexter produced the letter during a speech criticizing the committee on public information which he said was seeking to spread the belief that German atrocities have been discontinued. The committee recently denied the crucifixion story.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

Indiana War Governor States President’s Political Support Demanded of Patriots. EVEN STATE OFFICES MUST BE IN ACCORD Where Will You Find a Single Prominent Republican Leader Who Is Living Up to the Standard of 1864? Among other "patriotic” stuff sent out by the Republican Press Bureau of Indiana Is the following paragraph: "No, child, Indiana Democrats did not make their 1864 campaign on the slogan, ‘Stand by the President.’ ” But, "child,” the Indiana Republicans of 1864 not only made "Stand by the President" their slogan, but also made it the test of loyalty. In those days the Republicans .did not call those who did not support President Lincoln "Democrats.” They called them “Copperheads.” And that was the mildest title that any Republican in 1864 had for an American citizen who did not stand by the President politically and vote the Republican ticket. Republicans today offer their party record In 1864 as,proof of their patriotism now; but the Republicans of 1864 were of a very different breed from the pack that are snarling at the heels of Woodrow Wilson today. Where will you find a single -prominent Republican leader who is living up to the Republican standard of 1864? Not all who have been identified with the Republican party are of this stripe. There are thousands of Republicans who are saying nothing,-but preparing to "stand by the President" with their votes in November, just as there were thousands of Democrats who voted the Lincoln ticket in 1864 Oliver I’. Morton was pretty good authority on the Republican position in 1864, when he was a candidate for Governor against Joseph E. McDonald. It is Interesting to note how his utterances hinge with the Republican utterances of today. To "the Union,” “the Government and the Administration” were synonymous terms At the beginning of the campaign of 1864 he put hw position before his opponent in these words: , “I advise him, however, that he cannot pass through this campaign without being awakened to the fact of the existence of the war for the people will thunder In his ears the vital question, ‘Where do you stand? Are you for the Union or against it? Are you for the Government or the rebellion?

SAYS LOYAL MEN LAY ASIDE PARTY. As to the duty of patriots to lay aside party considerations Morton said: "I believe that the masses men of all parties are loyal, and are united in their determination to maintain our Government, however much they may differ upon other points; and I do sincerely hope that men of all parties will be willing to subordinate their peculiar opinions to the great cause of preserving our national honor and existence.” His criticism of Democrats who did not follow this course and "stand by the President,” was: "While patriots thought only of saving their country, these men have thought only of saving their party.” In his debate with McDonald Morton carried the test of loyalty to the extent of supporting the President in the abolition of slavery, which was then a vexed question. He said: "Suppose the. President is of the opinion that the destruction of -sfflvepy is an important instrumentality for the destruction of the rebellion, and suppose the gentleman differs with him on that point, which opinion is to govern? Lincoln is President and McDonald is not. Lincoln is acting under the oath of office and McDonald rs not; and McDonald has no right to occupy the position of a neutral between the Government and the rebellion. Intact, there can be no neutralA in this war. These is no half-way house. There fs no. place in the Constitution where a man can stand midway between the rebellion and the Government.” There are many other respects in which Morton's words fall like a lash oh Ms professed followers of today. Here is what.he said of the "constructive criticism." of 1864: "The criticism of one who is friendly to the Government, and who is anxieus-that it shall succeed and be preserved, and who points out its errors that they may be corrected, is wholly different from the denunciation which seeks to bring the Government into contempt and render it odious to the people, thereby withdrawing from it that natural support so necessary to its life, when struggling with a powerful enemy. The one can never be mistaken for the other." , President Lincoln made some tnistakes, and Morton realized it; but here is what he had to . say in answer to the President’s critics: "We are a grumbling people by nature. We grumble at the President, but, considering the trying circumstances, Mr./ Lincoln has done his duty nobly. He is more> than man who should not make some mistakes under such circumstances. The people, have a thorough conviction of the President's unimpeachable loyalty. If he has committed errors, they are of- the head, and not of the heart."

NOT THE TIME TO DISCCSS FUTURE. There were those at that day who, like Chairman Will Hays, thought the Important thing was to decide what should be done after the war. Morton’s answer to them waa this: “It would be folly, the mpst crlmtnal, the most preposterous in the world’s history, were we to pause amidst our efforts, to discuss the terms of future''se*t?*ment, while rebel armies are still in the field, menacing the life of the nation. Let us, then, with united, hearty and undivided attention, address ourselves to the great task of destroying the military power of the rebellion." There were those at that time who professed to be much alarmed at the great powers being exercised by the Government, and asked, as they are asking now, if such powers are exercised in time of peaee? Of these'Morton said: "Some politicians seem to Ignore the fact that there is a vast difference between war and peace, and insist that war shall be*carried on just as we carry on peaee. Ihey .do not comprehend that war, from fife very nature, involves the exercise of powers which in times of peace are unnecessary, and are prohibited." And finally, Morton had no delusions as to the Importance of the national executive being supported by local officials who were In thorough sympathy with him. As so this he said in 1864: "You understand that at this time, above all others, the position of Chief Executive of a State is of vast importance, mush mare so than at any former period in the'klstovy of our State or nation. If the Executive Is not disposed to support the Government by every means at his command; if his'sympathies are not with the National Government, he has it in his power to cast great difficulties, almost Insuperable difficulties, in the way of the National Government. Hence, i< becomes your duty to know exactly how stands the man who solicits your suffrage. *
