TEXT OF BERLIN'S HEW REPLY TO PRESIDENT

Z.OND05T, Oct. S2 Tie text of th German aote,' as recelTed "by wireless, lg rc follows : 'la accepting- tha proposal for an Taen.iUoB of occupied territories the German jottrnrntnt has started from the assumption tliat the procedure of this evacuation and of the conditions of u armistice -hot-Id lelt to taa judgment of the military advisers and that the actual standard of power o both sides in the field has to form the basis (or arrangements saf eg-uardiag- and grtaranteeinr this standard. MT&e German fOTernment snfg-ests to the President that an opportunity enould be trcuylit about f r fixiar the details. "It trusts that the President of the United States will approre of no demand wliich would b irreconcilable with the honor of the German people and with cpunlng a way to a peace of justice. FKOTESTB ATXOCITX C3CA.KOES. 'The German government protests ag-ainst the reproach of illegal and lnkiaiiw actions made against the German land and sea forces and thereby against the German people. For the covei-tug of retreat destructions will always be necessary and they are carried out in so far as is permitted by International law. The German troops ars under most strict instructions to spare private property nnd to exercise care for the population to the best cf their ability. Where transgression occur la spite of these Instructions the jruilty are punished. "The German government farther denes that th German navy tn sinking ships has (,tst purposely destroyed life, beats with their passengers. The Gersnr.n government proposes with regard to all those charges that the facts be cleared up by neutral commissions. ! order to avoid anything that might j l-?tnper the work of peace, the German rovemment has caused orders to be dispatched to, all submarine commanders including the torpedoing of passenger hips without, however, for technical reasons, being able to guarantee that these orders will reach every single sub-me-rlne at sea before its return.

NEW GOVERNTHEWT HELD IN ACCORD. "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: "Hitherto the representation of the people in the German empire has not been endowed with an Influence on the formslflon of the government. "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 f principle? 1 of the representation of the people, based on equal, universal, secret, direct franchise. "The leaders of the great parties of the Reichstag are members of this government. In the future no government can take or continue in office without possessing the confidence of a majority of the Reichstag.

"The responsibility of the Chancellor ; ef the empire to the representation or the people is being legally developed and safeguarded. The first act of the new government has been to lay before thn Reichstag a bill to alter the constitution of the emrire so that the consent of the representation of the people is repaired for decision on war end peace. BACK BT PEOPLE. CLAIM. "The permanence of th 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 energetio continuance. "The question of the President with whom he and the governments associated a?alnst Oermany ars dealing is. therefore, answered in a clear, unequivocal manner by the statement that the offer of peace and all armistice has come from a government which is free from any arbitrary and Irresponsible influence. Is supported by the approval of an overwhelming1 majority of the German people. BOX.T."

FOUR STRONG GERMAN

B Meuse Line The advance line protecting the German frontier. It is stronely fortified and follows natural obstacles. C Main Frontier Defenses Carefully prepared by Germany during the forty yeara between the Franco-Pru.sian and present wmrs. It was rated before th war g pa Governor James I. Goodrich, Michael E. Foley, chairman State Council of De-j fense, and H. E. Barnard.' Food Admin-; istrator," have given their cordial endorsement to a dinner to bo given on Hallowe'en night, Thursday. October "1. The local dinner will be but one of the many to be given throughout the state as the present plans call for celebrations, not only in each county seat but in every city and town of importance. Th food consumed at these dinners must be confirmed to Indiana products exclusively and if each county can have a menu of its own. why so much the better. It is believed that for the local dinner plenty of home grown food can be found so that the bill will be composed exclusively of meats, vegetables, etc.. that were produced in this county. These dinners wmII take the place of the regular evening meal and the diners, in order to save food must remember thst it is unpatriotic to eat anything before the home, grown dinner is served. There was a time when young women, in celebrating Hallowe'en looked into their mirrors in the hope of seeing reflected there the likeness of their future husbands. Something of the same thought will be brought out in this Hallowe'en celebration. The people of Indiana will be asked to look into the mirror of the future and see the reflection of what is held in store for them in all parts of the. state. It is to link the state's business and commercial interests closer together that gave rise to the Hallowe'en dinner idea. The movement is sponsored by the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce and will bo carried forward in every Indiana county largely by the commercial organizations. However, the co-operation of the county councils of defense and food administrators is sought becausa emphasis is to be placed upon war work and upon the necessity for a greater use of food that is produced at home. The United War Work Campaign, now starting throughout the country, will be given impetus in Indiana at these dinners and the men who represent this united activity will speak at several of the "gatherinps. No money will be solicited or accepted at any of the dinners but on the following day a state-wide campaign will be conducted to secure new members for the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce and about ffteen other state-wide orgflnlzations that comprise ve.ry form of organized business activity in Hoosierdom. There are additional reasons for iheso get together meetings, aside from the importance of featuring home products and giving the United Wr Work Campaign a good start. The additional reasons are found in the fact that Indiana's legislature will meet before a great while and it will be one of the most Important sessions in the history of the state. Lach community is interested becaus it has its own prob t
