The Peace Overture There is only one answer to the peacewerture of the Central Powers peace dictated by the sword. When Germany is grovelling in defeat and is willing to sue for peace as did Bulgaria, then we can discuss peace with her. Until then, redoubled efforts of our armies is our watchword. The Potsdam gang never has kept faith. The wreckage of broken treaties and of sacred promises ruthlessly and shamelessly violated have characterized the history of German diplomacy in the last four years. If the Allies make peace, it must be after Germany has been so soundly defeated that we will have not only moral but also absolute assurance that she will be unable to do further damage. That is possible only if her war machine is scrapped by the victorious smashes of Marshal Foch's allied army. We must not allow ourselves to become sympathetic in this hour. The overtures of Germany are not of a defeated nation, but of war leaders, who, realizing that defeat is inevitable, yet seek to save from the wreckage enough power to enable them to rehabiliate in a short time the machine that now is badly out of repair. We cannot let the kaiser and his war lords deceive us in this hour. We hope that President Wilson's answer will be short and to the point. The kaiser is asking for peace in an hour when his army is badly defeated on the field of battle, leaving the inference that through diplomacy he is trying to stave off a complete collapse of his military strength. The' appointment of Max of Baden as chancellor now stands revealed in its hypocrisy. The allied world wondered when news of his appointment became public why the kaiser should appoint a man of his well known "liberal" tendencies. The suspicion lurks in all our minds that Max of Baden's appointment was made merely to enable the kaiser to make this peace overture. After the Allies have been lured into an armistice and the kaiser has been enabled to restore his shattered battle line, Max of Baden will be ousted as quickly as were von Hertling and Michaelis. So long as Germany has the nucleus of a gigantic army, she has a weapon to jeopardize the future peace of the world. Lasting peace is possible only with the annihilation

German Peace Move "White Flag Trick" Opinion of Allied Press

PARIS, Oct. 7. Unconditional surrender characterized the general comment in Paris on the demand for peace sent by the Central Powers to President Wilson. It is felt here that Germany and her allies have not gone far enough in their request to the President for an audience, and that although they have stated that they are willing to talk peace on President Wilson's plans, they have not shown submission, such as was forced upon Bulgaria. "Germany wishes to stop the war at the moment she is going to be beaten, and knows it." says Figaro. "Let us suppose the proposition is accepted. Immediately in Germany there would be a delirium of Joy. The people are electrified and the kaiser has retaken them into his hands. The humiliation of having demanded peace would disappear rapidly. He becomes the hero of heroes, lie has resisted a world coalition." Danger Pointed Out. "We are on the road to victory," - says L'liomme Libre. "We will not let them stop us. An armistice is not possiDie at trie point at which we now are; Maximilian of Baden's propositions for peace are Insufficient. We would not be satisfied with autonomy for Alsace-Lorraine. We want reparation for the past and guarantees for the future. Maximilian is silent on these two important points. The war continues. Germany is in despair. She begins to feel the anguish of-her defeat. She sees that the cataclysm he brough on will result in disaster for the Central Powers. "The Central Powers move is not without its danger, for it contains the elements of trouble," says Le Journal. "We must not be misled by appearances. The enemy offers to negotiate on the basis of President Wilson's peace program. There is no discussion between conqueror and conquered. "Bent on all fronts and facing the menace of being completely vanquished, but not yet definitely conquered, she seeks to save what is left of her military prestige and materials in arms. She wishes to represent herself as having asked for peace out of consideration for humanity." Called White Flag Trick. "The White Flag Trick" is the caption of an editorial in the Tcmpa on the peace proposition. What Germanyhas done, says the newspaper, is "to invite the United States, who are belligerents as much as Germany, to play the role of mediator, as if they were outsiae our alliance." In return, continues the Temps, Ger- . many is willing to admit as the basis of negotiations President Wilson's program for a general peace. "Admit, as a basis, is vague," says the Temps. "The question Is what does Germany accept and what does she reject? Germany only invites President Wilson's principles to make us let fall our arms. Then when the fighting has ceased, when the German i

of the German army. Destroy the German army, then let's talk about peace. , Seed Corn Selection A seed corn campaign is being waged in Indiana. It seems almost foolish to call attention to the necessity of selecting high grade corn for seed purposes, as the risks involved in planting poor seed suggest failure, but nevertheless experience has proved to the Purdue University agricultural experts that persistent warnings are necessary to assure proper care in laying aside seed of quality. . - The saving of good seed corn saves labor, for it takes just as much time and work to cultivate a corp of nubbins as would be required to grow full ears. The more bushels per acre a farmer can raise from good seed, the less labor required to grow each bushel, is the (argument of C. Henry, state ieader of the seed selection campaign. Farmers are urged by' the state experts to make seed gathering an important part of their work this fall. It is a nearsighted policy to devote all your time to gather this year's $rop and to let the work of gathering the seed for next year's harvest go by default. Mry Henry says: "The best farmer will not make seed gathering a merely incidental operation, connected with harvesting or shucking, but will devote his whole attention to selecting the best ears as they grow in the field, under conditions with which the crops have to contend. By thus using a few hours this fall, he will save the labor of many men all next season. "In other words, seed from the stalk of corn that produces well under ordinary field conditions, is likely to yield well next year. Where field seed selection results in doubling the acre yield, the result is practically equivalent to cutting down by one-half the labor required to produce the crop." The Need of Victory From the North American Review's War Weekly THE necessity of "carrying the war Into Africa" with apologies to Africa for using her as a figure speech for Germany is again made' clear and emphatic by Hindenburg himself. In his latest proclamation to the German army in the field the field marshal says: "In four victorious years of war the German army has energetically protected the homeland and proved to the enemy our invincibility." That expresses the German view of the war. So long as the fighting is on foreign soil Germans consider their armies victorious, and if the war were ended with the Allies still outside of Germany, nothing in the world could convince them that they had not won it. We do not wish to treat German cities or people as the Germans have treated those of Belgium and France. But we do regard it as necessary to demonstrate to the Germans, to the German people, the fact that they are beaten, by displaying the banners of the triumphant Allies in the very heart and capital of the empire. If we do not secure such a moral ' victory over the Germans, our purely military victory will be vain.

troops have regained their breath, when the imperial government has become popular and strong, the German diplomats will undermine and one by one the pretended basis of negotiation. It is easy to understand that the kaiser's staff approves of Prince Maximilian's policy, but Maximilian, with Ludendorff and Scheidemann, are mistaken in attributing so much naivete to President "Wilson." By NINA V. SHORT Emergency Home Demonstration Agt. Milk is one of the foods greatly effected by the war because of the increased cost of grain and labor, and because of the slaughter of the dairy herds in Europe. Viewed in the light of patriotism, there Is one question people are asking on the subject of milk; Is it one of the foods we must use less of in order that our soldiers and allies may receive more? And viewed in the light of increased selling price, there is one question people are asking about milk Can the cost of living be reduced by using less milk? Is It patriotic to use less milk? No. The more milk we use at present the better it will be for the country. If the consumer reduces his consumption of milk at thi9 time, he is not benefiting either soldiers or allies and he may be laying the foundations for a milk shortage that will last for years, resulting seriously to himself and others. A herd of dairy cows can be eaten up in a week; it will take from three to five years to raise a new one. Will it reduce the cost of living to use less milk? No. For milk is now the cheapest animal food. One thing a housewife needs to know In planning .the daily meals is that they should contain some animal food, meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk or cheese. One cannot be vigorous and at one's best without it. Grain is needed to produce animal foods. The animal food that takes the least grain to produce a given amount of nourishment is milk. This means that if we use milk In place of other animal foods (I) we are saving grain, and (2) we are buying for ourselves the cheapest forms of animal food. We may not like milk as well as meat, but it really costs less. In the long run, therefore, we are saving food for our soldiers and money for ourselves when we use .milk, cheese, cream and butter. Australia has extensive forests, but owing to lack of sufficient railways and shipping facilities, a comparatively small amount of the timber ha thus far been cut

CONTAGION LESSENS AT OXFORD SCHOOL

OXFORD, O.. Oct 7. Health conditions at Miami University are improving slightly. There have been no deaths in the student body for two days, though four two girls and two boys still are in critical condition. A number of new cases have been received in the hospital. In the village the disease has spread with alarming rapidity. Another death occurred yesterday Claude C, Neal, 31, prominent druggist. A dozen others are in critical condition. Yesterday there were no church services in town. The public schools will remain closed this week, as will the picture theatres and poolrooms. Health Officer Moore is down with influenza, but is superintending health affairs from his bed, through his brother, Dr. H. A. Moore. It has been decided that the Students' Army Training Corps boys will not be sent home. Colonel Roberts, commandant of the Miami unit, received permission from the war department to send them home if, in his Judgment, such a course became necessary. Several were given week-end furloughs. Classes will be resumed tomorrow morning, with drills of two hours on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons. The Miami girls will not be called back to school this week.Treating Wheat for Smut BY J. C. KLINE, County Agent Since a number of inquiries in regard to treating heat for stinking smut have come to this office jduring the last few days, I am publishing again the proper method. Thoroughly clean all seed and then sprinkle with a solution of one pint of formaldehyde to forty gallons of water, shoveling over repeatedly to distribute moisture evenly. Forty gallons will treat seventy-five bushels. Shovel into a pile and cover with sacks, canvas or blankets for not more than two to four hoursv . Dry by spreading in thin layers and stirring occasionally ith a rake or shovel. Seed may be sown, when dry enough to run freely through the drill, setting the drill to sow about a peck more per acre, to allow for swollen condition of the grain. If to be stored for several days or longer, dry thoroughly. Disinfect sacks, bins and drill, to prevent reinfection. - MANUFACTURER ARRESTED. KNOXVTLLE, Tenn., Oct 7. W. J. Oliver, millionaire manufacturer, and ten other officers and employes of the W. J. Oliver Mfg. Co. were 'arrested on charges of conspiracy, fraud and sabotage in the manufacturer of defective shells.

NO PEACE UNTIL VICTORY, OPINION OF CONGRESSMEN

Sentiment Opposes Peace Suggestions Until Central Powers Are Thrashed. WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 7. Sentiment in both branches of congress emphatically is opposed to according even a respectful hearing to any fur. ther peace suggestions from Germany or Austria until they openly admit defeat and complete failure,, of their war aims or are thoroughly thrashed by force of arms. If the Central powers sincerely desire a cessation of hostilities or peace, Bulgaria has pointed the way. This is the opinion expressed by both senators and representatives. It is insisted with firmness that unconditional surrender must precede any serious consideration of peace proposals. This summarizes a wide range of view and comment on the latest developments at Berlin and Vienna, as expressed by leading members of congress in the following statements: WATSON'S VIEW. Senator James E. Watson, of Indiana My own hasty view of the situation is that it Is preposterous to think that Germany can approach us or our allies with an olive branch in one hand and a bomb in the other. If the Central powers really want peace they know how to get it. They must do as Bulgaria did. But my own opinion is that there should be a dictated peace with Germany absent from the table. If she continues the wanton destruction and looting of cities and villages, she must be dealt with accordingly. Representative Medill McCormlck, of Indiana We must not be led to accept the first professions of agreement as representing the deliberate Intentions of Jhese autocratic governments to abandon the militaristic plans and doctrines by which they have been actuated for generations. Undoubtedly the change in the German government and Baron Burian's note are confessions of distress. It remains to be seen whether, they are willing to give up sacrificing their own people to satisfy their imperialistic ambitions. Representative Joseph Walsh, of Massachusetts Unless Prince Max states Germany's willingness to accept all of our terms with, perhaps, such qualifications as might be considered by the allies and the United States, to be negotiable we should pay no attention to the German chancellor's peace bid. Certainly there is no need of making any new statement of our peace terms. WAR MUST CONTINUE. Representative J. Esch, Wisconsin The time is not ripe for any new statement of terms of conference. We have not yet, apparently, impressed on the Central powers our determination In this war, and the war must go on until they are so impressed. Representative William E. Cox, of Indiana I am in favor of an armistice and negotiations of peace when Germany and Austria follow in the wake of their ally, Bulgaria, and consent to unconditional surrender. Then, and not until then, am I in favor of an armistice or even . a discussion of peace terms. - ' Senator John F. Shafroth, of ColoradoWe are hearing a great deal of peace talk. Some of it is definite, but most of it is vague. Whenever it has been definite. It has been definitely answered. I would prefer not to express any opinion until we learn what Pres ident Wilson and Secretary Lansing know about the latest reports concerning Germany's and Austria's attitude, v Representative E. E. Denison, of Illinois We should consider no peace proposals until the Germans get out of France and Belgium. Then they must pay adequate indemnities for their wanton destruction? especially in Belgium. Germany was swept by a hysteria wave, following the peace proposal of Bularia. Rheumatism Relief --25c.

There are three vital processes of human existence. the dlsrestion of food, the extraction of nourishment i Poor 'digestion and assimilation means failure to derive full nourishment from food and that in turn often means impoverished blood, weakness, anemia, etc. Poor elimination means an accumulation of waste matter which poisons the body, lowers vitality, decreases tho power of resistance to disease and leads to the development of many serious Ills. Rheumatism, due to some Interference with the process of elimination, failure to get rid of certain body poisons, cannot be expected to ileld to any medicine that fails to correct the condition responsible for it.

Surrender of Germans is the Only Way Oat; Declares U. S. Press

NEW YORK TIMES If Germany wants peace let her do away with her irresponsible braggart kaiser and speak by a government of her own people of the governments of allied peoples.' It is not from Prince Maximilian, answerable only to Imperial authority, but from a minister responsible to the German people that Germany's plea must come. President Wilson can be trusted to make an answer to these overtures which will leave no doubt as to the determination of Germany's foes to pursue their victories until she can fight no more, until surrender is forced upon ber and with" it security against any further disturbances of the peace from that quarter. CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Unconditional surrender will dominate all peace terms considered by America and her allies. The only peace terms that will be accepted will be dictated with the flags of America and her allies floating triumphantly over Berlin. Terms, so clearly and forcibly stated by President Wilson, ratified by each and every one of the nations warring against Prussianlsm these terms and these alone, will be accepted at the proper time and place. CHICAGO TRIBUNE If Germany is ready for peace she must prove it, not by words, not by pledges, not by "scraps of paper," but by acts of renunciation and the guaranty of deeds. Potsdam has rested its fate on power. The Allies will rest their fate on power.. Potsdam has never kept faith. The Allies will make peace when Potsdam cannot be faithless to it. There is but one answer to such offers of parley as have been made or are predicted. That answer is our redoubled efforts against the enemy. CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER There is but one possible termination to the war. The fighters will never pause till PotBdamism is beaten down into the dust, until the Germany that seeks terms is a non-Potsdam Germany. She can have the peace of utter surrender, the peace that is based on safe assurance of future decency. Other peace for Germany there can never be. ! BALTIMORE SUN There can be no safe peace but a dictated peace written with the sword. When: we reach that objective we can seriously discuss peace principles and establish the basis for the new order, but until then the word "peace" is a word of dishonor and deadly danger. PHILADELPHIA PRESS The proposition emanating from Germany, with Prince Max acting as the imperial mouthpiece, should not be entertained by the State Department nor by the President Only an armistice based upon unconditional surrender should be considered.
