continued. "Now they are fighting
to gain days, even hours. Their re-
ply consists of evasions made tor
the purpose of unbalancing the
minds of simple folks in allied coun
tries and to convince the German
people that the allies will not ac
cept what is declared by them to
look like treasonable offer of peace
the character ot the answer
shows the atmosphere of equivoca
tion in which the German govern
ment lives and moves. Germany
only 'declares' itself to comply. It
does not comply. It has not accepted
the president's terms. It only says
, untruly that those terms have
been accepted.
Bismarck's Reply.
' "In 1870 the Germans, when they
had the great French army envel
oped at Sedan, declined to give an
-armistice. Bismarck said:
' "'Germany desires to promote the
re-establishment of peace. The best
means oi assuring it is to aepnve
France of its army.'
' my American friends will look
at the maps in their newspapers to
day they will see that Marshal Foch
is rapidly driving the Germans into
a gigantic Sedan; not the Sedan of
the 1870 type, for the number of re
treating Germans represent hun
dreds as compared to tens of Mar
shal MacMahon's army in 1870.
"If we grant an armistice we shall
be providing material for a great
prolongation of the war. If we
leave the matter to Marshal Foch
lie will end the war. Bulgaria is
; out. Turkey is going out, Austria
Hungary is on the verge of a revo
lution. : "The combined efforts'of America,
Great Britain, Italy, France 'and Bel
gium will end, this stuggle and put
a stop to any possible recrudescence
of the war."
London Populace
. Believes Peace Is
Nearly at Hand
London, Oct, 14. London's
streets, parks and public places were
' crowded with people Sunday. The
crowds had an almost festive aspect.
Such cheerfulness has long been un
known here.
The people believe peace is near.
Thousands of Sunday idlers paraded
through Whitehall and gathered
about the government buildings,
awaiting the latest news. None was
r.iore cheerful in these crowds than
the hundreds of officers, soldiers
and sailors, with contingents of
Americans, Belgians and French al
ways present. Never were the mili
tary forces more evidently popular.
The public eage.ly awaits some
statement of the government's
policy, and tome interpretation of
events from a British standpoint is
expected.
Discussion of the meaning of the
- German terms used in the reply to
Fresident Wilson is heard every
where. Two leading questions are
whether the allies will embark up
on a commission to arrange for an
evacuation of alfled territory still in
Geman hands and how far German
assumption that all the allies will!
stand together on President Wil
son's platform is warranted. There
is also question whether the allies
will begin any conference without
previous insistence upon certain
minimum demands. 1
The submarine warfare and the
disposition of Germany's colonies
are details of peace which seem to
interest the British public most.

Press Comment
On Wilson Reply
Chicago Tribune: The president's
responie to the German proposals
rises inevitably from the logic of
those noteworthy communications
and addresses which have marked
our controversy with the imperial
German government. It expresses
with force and unequivocally the
conviction and purpose of the
American people in this war, and
will receive their unhesitating, un
divided and enthusiastic approval
St Louis Globe-Democrat: 'The
president has not misinterpreted the
spirit of the nation in this reply. He
could not have said less and remain
in accord with the American people
It was unnecessary to have said
more. ...
Baltimore Sun: The president's
answer leaves the door open to the
German people, if they will kick out
the kaiser, cease their atrocities and
then accept such terms as the allied
governments will grant. It invites
peace but only oh those conditions.
Sioux City Journal: The reply of
the president will meet the univer
sal approval of the people, because
it is the statement of what the peo
ple insist snan De tne terms upon.
which the war is terminated. They
have demanded that German atroci
ties shall not go unchallenged and
that her barberism shall not be con
doned. They have demandeed that
the fruits of victory shall not be sur
rendered until the purposes for
which the sacrifices which made that
victory possible shall have been
achieved. The government and the
people are in accord.
Lincoln State Journal: For two
days America resembled nothing so
much as a foot ball crowd yelling
to the players: "Look out for a
fake." A few icy paragraphs com
ing from the White House by way
of the State department stills the
tumult. There is no danger that
the president will be fooled by a
fake.
Indianapolis Star: The presi
dent's answer to the German peace
bid means in plain undiplomatic
language "Unconditional surren
der." Los Angeles Times: Germany
will have to come to it. She must
accede to the president's ultimatum
sooner of later and the sooner thf
better for Germany. Autocracy is
doomed. Germany cannot escape
the world trend.
Salt Lake City Herald: Now .that
President Wilson has indicated that
note writing has adjourned let us
go on with the war. Germany un
derstands what an unconditional
surrender means and we know all
it means and that should constitute
the first consideration of peace.
Rocky Mountain News, (Denver):
The nation will feel immensely re
lieved that it has been freed for the
time being of any association with
the barbarian and if the people
had their way they would much
prefer that the allied governments
have nothing to do with him until
he Is beaten down to his knees by
force of arms. And now let the
notes be as few as possible.
New York Herald: The reply
sent yesterday is the best possible
proof that the interlude consisting
of the president's questioning of the
German imperial chancellor and that
functionary's reply was as unneces
sary as it was futile if in any
respect the president's reply seems
inadequate to the American people it
will be in the absence from jt of any
mention of reparation and punish
ment; New York Herald (German): The
principal point in Mr. Wilson's
note is that part in which he
insits on a change of government in
Germany. If the German mili
tary party thinks to win by camou
flage, they are hopelessly mistaken.
New York Tribune: Why, in
our growing correspondence with
Germany is the word surrender ta
boo? Why is it that we cannot talk
as we fight? We are negotiat
ing with Germany toward an armis
tice toward peace. Does the
American government know the
heart of the American people and
how it sinks as each further execu
tion is so vaguely disappointed."
Boston Globe: President Wilson
trained his guns upon the very
heart and center of German " au
tocracy. Cleveland Plain Dealer: There
can be no peace. There can be no
armistice. There can be nothing but
war, so long as the Hohenzollern
sits on the throne.

FOR GRAY HAIR
Tells How to Male a Home-Mad
Gray Hair Remedy.
Mr. A. E. O'Brien, who has been
a barber in New York City for many
years, made the following state
ment: "Gray, streaked or faded
hair can be immediately made black,
brown or light brown, whichever
shade you desire, by the use of the
following remedy that you can make
at home:
"Merely get a small box of Orlex
powder at any drug store. It costs
very little and no extras to buy.
Dissolve it in water and comb it
through the hair. Full directions for
mixing and use-come in each box.
"You need not hesitate to use
Orlex, as a $100.00 gold bond comes
in each box guaranteeing the user
that Orlex powder does not contain
silver, lead, tine, sulphur, mercury,
aniline, coaltar products or their de
rivatives. - '
"It does not rub off, is pot stieky
or gummy and leaves the hair
fluffy. It will make a gray haired
person 4ook twenty years younger.

which she might break her word to
an armistice.
From that point the United States
and the allies might proceed to dis
pose of all that remained of kaiser
ism if the German people have not
done it before, as President Wilson
in his note plainly invites them to
do.
While nowhere in the note does
the president openly join with the
entente statesmen on the demand
that the "chief criminals" must be
delivered up for trial, the president's
confidants point out that he plainly
subscribes to the doctrine that the
guilt of bringing on the world war
is personal.
It will be nofed that the president
completely rejects the German sug
gestion for a mixed, commission to
arrange an evacuation and reminds
tne militarists that they win ac
cept the terms laid down by
Marshal Foch and the associated
commanders; that they will have
no part in framing them. He makes
it plain he does not accept the new
German government headed by
Chancellor Maximilian as anything
less authentic, anything less a
creature of German militarism, than
its predecessors, and warns the
German people that unless they de
stroy it the allied armies will do so.
One of the most important
points of his note is that in which
he acknowledges the present Ger
man government's unqualified ac
ceptance of his peace terms and
then goes on to show that these
terms provide specifically for the
substitution of a government wholly
responsible to the German people
themselves for the present one
dominated by the German militarists.
Autocracy Musi, Go.
Quoting his Mount Vernon speech
of July 4, the president reminds Ger
many that his terms call for "the de
struction of every arbitrary power
anywhere, that can separately, se
cretly and of its single choice dis
turb the peace of the world; or if it
cannot be presently destroyed, at
east its reduction to virtual im-
potency.
Here then follows the words
which proclaim that the autocratic
government of Germany must go,
and plainly invite the German peo
ple to make the change which will
bring them peace.
"The power which hitherto has
controlled the German nation," says
the president's reply, "is of the sort
here described. It is within the
choice of the German people to al
ter it. The president's words just
quoted naturally cpnstitute a condi
tion precedent to peace, if peace is
to come by the action of the Ger
man people themselves. The presi
dent feels bound to say that the
whole process of peace will, in his
judgment, depend upon definiteness
and the satisfactory character of the
guarantees which can be given in
this fundamental matter. It is in
despensable that the governments
associated against Germany should
know beyond peradventure with
whom they are dealing."
Fufills Predictions.
This pronouncement, the presi
dent's friends say, fulfills the pre
dictions of those who declared that
in his first reply to Prince Maxi
milian he was laying the foundations
of proof that the new government
of Germany is no less autocratic
tKan the governments of former
chancellors and for a final statement
to the German people themselves
that nothing but their autocratic
government stands between them
and the peace which they so fer
vently desire. This, the president's
friends, say, has been the whole
theory of his diplomacy.

Allied Smash in Belgium
May Be Foch Master Blow
By the Associated Press.
With the Allied Armies in Flanders, Oct. 14. British,
Belgian and French forces attacked at dawn this morning
on a wide front in Flanders. . The allied troops are driving
in the general direction of Ghent and Coutrai.
The attack seems to be generally from Comines to the
northward. The troops of the three nations went over the
top after a "crash" bombardment only. There was no pre
liminary bombardment. . It undoubtedly tactically surprised
the enemy. -
In the British formations were some of Great Britain's
best troops, and the forces of the French were of famous,
fighting organizations. The Germans appear prepared to
retire to the Ghent line.
By the fury with which, the attack was launched it is
evident that the fighting armies are not paying the slightest
attention to the "peace talk." . They smashed forward with
all the dash characterizing the 'recent operations.
The blow in Flanders may prove to be Marshal Foch's
master stroke. If the allied progress is continued, the Ger
mans throughout a wide stretch of territory taking in the
most important part of the Belgian coast, including possibly
the important German submarine bases, as well as the forces
in the entire Lille salient, either will have to get out or face
a second Sedan.
ternational drama is now expected
to take place m Germany," while the
armies of the co-belligerents thun
der at her gates. . Diplomats are
agreed that what must come from
Germany now is action, not words.
Germany May Comply.
When the president decided to
say that if an armistice should be
thought of, it could not be consid
ered without imposing terms to
guarantee the good faith of Ger
many and provide for the main
tenance of the military supremacy of
the armies of the United States and
the entente allies he undoubtedly
knows what the allied war council
acting on the recommendations of
Marshal Foch had decided upon as
necessary guarantees. These npw
are understood to include the occu
pation of Metz and Strassburg and
Coblenz, the strategic keys to Ger
many. The German government may, it
is, believed, offer to comply with the
terms, and give up the guarantees
which would permit an armistice.
From that point the disposition of
the autoeracy might be considered
in connection with the terms of
peace. Otherwise the opinion is
unanimous that the victorious armies
of the United States and the entente
allies must march qn.
Although Germany is informed
that a separate reply will be made
to the peace note of the Austro
Hungarian government, it is known
that for the present no communica
tion will be sent either to Austria-
Hungary or to Turkey, whose be
lated plea similar to that of her al
lies reached the State department
today. Replies to Germany's vassal
allies will await the next move in
Berlin, unless that move is antici
pated kiy a new plan and offer of
surrender from Vienna or Constaii;
tinople or both.
