' Germany's Reply Germany's reply to President Wilson's queries is far from being conclusive or decisive as far as an early cessation of war is concerned. So long as the German army is still a powerful machine, it would be folly for the allied governments to enter into an armistice, and nothing in President Wilson's queries to the German chancellor indicates that an armistice of any kind was in his mind of-the president when he took up the peace overture of Max of Baden. The president merely wanted to know with whom he was dealing and whether the principles embodied in his fourteen points would be considered in any future action. Germany's latest reply. must be accepted as ne coming from a government that hitherto has resorted to lies and subterfuges, and therefore it cannot be accepted at its face value. If the chancellor is speaking for a new spirit of the German government, notification of the kaiser's abdication should have accompanied the note. If the Germans really want an armistice, let the allies grant her the same kind that was handed Bul

garia unconditional surrender, emDracing tne transfer of all munitions and supplies from the German to the allied armies. Germany must acknowledge that the Allies are talking to her as conqueror to the vanquished, and when she sends peace notes to President Wilson she is asking not demanding terms of surrender. And this unquestionably is the attitude of the American government. Hypocrites and Cranks Nearly every town harbors a man who delights cursing "the damned church cranks and hypocrites." He can't talk on a topic without interpolating a profane remark against the church hypocrites and cranks, as if the church were a gigantic stockade in which all the liers and moral outcasts of the world were cornered. It never enters his benighted mind that he is somewhat of a crank himself, if not a hypocrite of the first water. The church has its share of hypocrites and cranks, men of narrow vision, men who cloak ugly souls under smug countenances, men who cheat and lie six days in the weak while they try to salve their consciences by going to church on Sundays. But outside of the pale of the church are thousands and millions of men who are not a whit better than some of the hypocritical church goers. Every organization, lodge, society, association and club has members who do not measure up to the high standards of moral rectitude and probity. The proportion of cranks and hypo

crites inside' of these organizations is just as great as the proportion in the church.

A superficial investigation of the careers of many men who continually harp on the number

of cranks and hypocrites in the churches will usually show that they themselves belong in the front rank of the class they stigmatize as "cranks and hypocrites." The church is not free from faults. Its members have not attained complete sanctification. But to allege that the church is to blame for all the evils that are rampant and that all church goers are hypocrites because they profess to be religious, is going too far in the other extreme. .

Buy Early You may buy toys for the children on Christmas and still be patriotic within the meaning of the new Economy program promulgated by the state and national councils of defense. But you cannot buy toys, or anything else for that matter, and be patriotic if you put off the performance until the eleventh hour. Buy during October and November and be sure of a good assortment from which to select and obviate the necessity for increasing the force of clerks, during the month of December. The government needs help in more essential things, which cannot be handicapped by such competition as the late shopper would necessitate. Indiana Defense Council.

Only Unconditional Surrender Demands Press of United States

Two Casualty Lists Required Now

From the Cincinnati Enquirer

MERICAN soldiers are achieving wonderful suc

cesses. And this is just as true of the men in khaki in cantonments here at home as on the

bloody fields of France. This is best proved by the fact that we are now compelled to publish two casualty lists. And together, the names of those "over here" and "over there," boys who have suffered cheerfully every discomfort and quietly, bravely made the final sacrifice, make up the Roll of Honor which must and will be loved, respected and revered while America endures and freedom exists in the world. , Brave and beautiful, it is, to fall in the charge of

NEW YORK WORLD Coming

from any honest and respectable government, such a reply as Germany has made to President Wilson's Inquiries might safely be accepted as an unconditional surrender. Coming from the German government, ... it must be accepted for what It is an offer of a surrender without ., . . security whatsoever for compliance with any provisions of promise. CHICAGO TRIBUNE While the German army is still in formidable being, to enter into discussion is to invite disaster. An armistice purchased at the price of a mere evacuation of invaded territories would be an excellent bargain for Germany from the point of view of the present perilous German military situation. We should be foolish Indeed to grant it. PHILADELPHIA NORTH AMERICAN We do not pretend to deny that Germany's answer to President Wilson's queries makes an early peace possible . . . But if there is any sanctity in the world-wide demand for a peace of justice and permanency, if there is any need for the final overthrow of autocracy and the destruction of its military power, then civilization was never nearer to the abyss of disaster than it is at this hour. BOSTON POST Let Germany recall its submarine fleet and surrender it. Let it surrender its high seas fleet, as well. Let it permit the allies to occupy Heligoland and Kiel. Evacuate and surrender Metz and the whole string of forts along the Rhine. With guarantees' similar to these it would be safe to suggest an armistice. Without them an armistice is unsafe. ST. LOUIS GLOBE DEMOCRAT The German government is but little changed in personnel and not at all in WASHINGTON POST The mere fact that Germany ostensibly accepts President Wilson's program of world peace does not justify any one in presuming that President Wilson must proceed to negotiate with the enemy. There may be a thousand reasons why he will not do so, and one reason alone is sufficient: The enemy is unbeaten. No peace conference will be held while Germany holds a' sword in her hand. WORCESTER (MASS.) TELEGRAM There is but one condition that can save the Hun from the grind-

tattle. Equally brave, it is, calmly to wage the great

fight with death and disease in a crowded cantonment j jng destruction of Gen. Foch's terrible

hospital. There is neither the inspiration nor that infusion of strength that comes from close communication with advancing troops. But let us all remember that the sacrifice, the last Great Sacrifice, is the same. Newspaper reports, private letters, personal visits, all attest to the supreme courage of these soldiers in our

many camps. There is no complaint on the part of the means the recovery of her strength

sne can not nave it:

advance an armistice. .... Let Foch alone and nothing can stop his entry

into Berlin. No armistice. NEW HAVEN (CONN.) COURIER The reply from the beast of Berlin warrants no further exchanges with him or his official representatives. It is the same old game, played with in

creased dexterity. ... An armistice

sufferers. Attending physicians say that this almost universal failure to complain permits of continued ravages of the prevalent, disease until often serious complications result. ' To the every inquiry or expression of sympathy comes the brave smile and the assurance: "Who, me? I'm feelin' fine. But take a look at Jim. Jim isn't sayin' anything, but he's mighty sick." That is the way these boys are facing the long, hard struggle or the bitter end, always with their thoughts directed to some other sufferer. Could there be anything more brave, more beautiful, more splendid? Is it any wonder that the French people love our boys and say there never were such men in all the world? Do we always appreciate the magnificent courage of these boys at home, preparing and waiting for the chance to go to the fighting fronts? "They also serve who only stand and wait." In humility and deep reverence let us bow our heads as we read the lists of casualties, here and abroad. And let us all be truly and wonderfully proud of every gold star that marks the final reward of every brave soldier who dies in service.

PALLADIUM WANT ADS BRING RESULTS

DETROIT FREE PRESS It is far from being an unconditional surrender. . . . There is no certainty that Berlin is not more immediately eager for an armistice than it is for peace terms. . . . But the chancellor is making a plain bid for an armistice pending evacuation.. Such a concession is not to be thought of dealing with so dis

reputable and perfidious an enemy as Germany. PITTSBURGH VOLKSBLATT After declaring that Germany's acceptance of the president's condition for an armistice is an American victory of magnitude It attaches great significance to omission of the word "imperial" in relation to the German government, adding "A veritable political revolution already. A victory of democratic principles which marks the beginning cf a new era." BALTIMORE AMERICAN There is just this phase of the evolved situation upon which to base expectations of near, peace of peace, . say within six months. This is in the possibility that Germany will-quickly accept the inevitable, and the inevitable is unconditional surrender. This is the one and only condition that can be accepted preliminary to an armistice. CINCINNATI COMMERCIAL TRIBUNE All thfs means is that Germany begins to realize that if Foch is not stopped she is terribly beaten. . . . President Wilson can not contemplate parley pending complete surrender without conditions precedent of evacuation of all stolen territory including Alsace and Lorraine. There is no room for discussion of details of evacuation. , LOUISVILLE COURIER-JOURNAL -The man in the White House musx draft the program of civilization In its future dealings with the despoil er; that he and his colleagues of the allied governments will permit the Hun to retire to his bloody lair still a belligerent Is unthinkable. . . . The arms of Germany and Austria must be stacked on the battle line. . . . wait for him (the president) before you talk or even think peace. TOLEDO TIMES Germany express-

presses a willingness to evacuate conquered territory in Dr. Solf's note to President Wilson. . . . That would seem to be the crux of the situation. For Germany to voluntarily withdraw her soldiers to the German frontier means conservation of man power, a shortening of the line and an excuse to again yell: "We are waging a defensive warfare." The withdrawal of German troops must be superintended by the allies so the evacuation achieves the same purpose as a military victory. So long as a German carries a revolver in his pocket, the world is not a safe place in which to live. President Wilson must carefully scrutinize the Solf reply far the concealed draweT. That it contains dynamite in one form or another appears certain to the ordinary individual. CINCINNATI VOLKSBLATT (German language newspaper) While there is general satisfaction at Germany's answer, there is no desire to

ITCHING, SCRATCHING, SKIN DISEASES THAT BURN LIKE FLAMES OF FIRE

Here

Is a Sensible Treatment That

Gets Prompt Results. For real, downright, harrassing, discomfort, very few disorders can approach so-called skin diseases, such as Eczema, Tetter, Boils, eruptions, scaly irritations and similar skin troubles, notwithstanding the lavish use of salves, lotions, washes, and other treatment applied externally to the irritated parts. No one ever heard of a person be-" ing afflicted with any form of skin diseases whose blood was in good condition. Therefore, it is but logical to conclude that the proper method of treatment for pimples, blotches, sores, boils, rough, red and

scaly skin, is to purify the blood ana remove the tiny germs of pollution that break through and manifest their presence on the surface of the skin. People in all parts of the country have written us how they were completely rid of every trace of these disorders by the use of S. S. S., the matchless, purely vegetable, blood purifier. S. S. S. goes direct to tht center of the blood supply and purifies and cleanses it of every vestige of foreign matter giving a clear and ruddy complexion that indicates perfect health.

rush into peace. Some views are to the effect that Germany must io disarmed before negotiations are begun and that militarism Is only "scotched and not killed" if the kaiser remains at the head of Germany. ..SIOUX CITY JOURNAL If this Is the German Appotomax, the German Waterloo, it can not be denied the right to say so. If the nation is beaten it3 enemies can not ignore Its surrender. But If it is only a means of recouping Its strength, then the allies are justifying in declining to consider Its appeal. ..WICHITA (KAS.) EAGLE Instead of an armistice there should be a laying down of Germany's arms. . THE DENVER POST It would seem a miscarriage of justice for the Germans to escape severe physical punishment for the awful crimes they have committed. KANSAS CITY TIMES The only peace that will satisfy the people of the United States and their allies i3 the peace of unconditional surrender. BIRMINGHAM AGE-HERALD Th3 note seems to be an amazing confession of weakness. It ha3 created astonishment, suspicion and incredulity, yet it must be acknowledged a3 a sweeping 3ipIomatic victory for President Wilson. MONTGOMERY ADVERTISER The only terms allowed Bulgaria were unconditional surrender. -Germany 13 entitled to less rather than, more consideration. MEMPHIS COMMERCIAL APPEAL Now, having received answers to the questions he asked, President Wilson 6hould notify Germany the only proposition the allies can consider is unconditional surrender. CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER We have repeatedly warned ourselves- to be eternally on guard against just such a trick as may be, contained In the armistice and evacuation program. Now, if ever in ' the history of the world, is the time for-caution and for wise counsel. MILWAUKEE SENTINEL Unless this note is a masked lie. and a treacherous trick and an emanation from Potsdam, it is, on the face of it, and even In tone, an unconditional surrender. The terms made by President Wilson are accepted in toto including even the restoration of Alsace-Lorraine; and that stipulation 13 the real acid test of a thoroughly defeated Germany. Such acceptance of an enemy's terms means and always has meant surrender. ST. LOUIS REPUELIC-Who knows whether the German reply is a sham or an honest step toward peace? No

body In America has the means for knowing equal to those which the president and his advisers enjoy. He may be trusted to detect the fraud. OKLAHOMA CITY OKLAHOMAN The German answer to President ' Wilson Is not a surrender. It Is a. German army. - . ; HOUSTON (TEX.) POST The proposal of an armistice will have to be cautiously approached. We must not sacrifice in diplomacy or negotiations what our gallant armies have so nobly won on the battle field. SHREVEPORT (LA.) TIMES Before an armistice can be agreed to, we must have ample guarantees that the acceptance ha3 the consent of and Is supported by the entire German people. INDIANAPOLIS STAR Germany would not ask for an armistice if she Faw a faint hope to fighting to a draw. It. recognizes that it is whipped, and is struggling to stave off disaster We do not have to gather around a peace table with a defeated foe and permit him to go Into the conference armed with a' military or naval dagger with which to threaten to stab us the moment the discussion does not suit him. If Germany succeeds In getting an armistice it will be through recognition that it has been defeated and is willing to abide by the consequences.
