Third Floor lip That 'the Germans' lost no time in letting the American soldiers know their government bad asked for an armistice is shown by an original pamphlet, reproduced on this page, just received here by 1?. Julian, foreman of the Union Pacific car shops, from Harvey O. Lar son, a former employe, now a member of Battery 1), 340th field artillery. In his letter telling of the propaganda Private Larson said: "One nice, windy afternoon the (icrmans came over with a couple of planes filled with pro paganda and dumped it out. It looked like a big snowstorm was coming. "The day before he sent some over telling us to throw down our arms, march over there and become their prisoners and wc would get good food, be in a safe place and not be throwing our lives away for France and Kngland. "I received your Omaha Daily Bee and we sure surprised the Huns the other day by the dope in the paper. I never did know bow much ground we covered or how many prisoners were taken, as the papers here did licit give us much credit. "The th division sure de serves all of the credit, tis they were right in the heart f and hail to cover some awful country. When those HiiTs started they never stopped un til they reached their concrete trenches." Miss Elsie Thomas, Head of Brownell Hall, Diesat Her Home Here Miss Klsie Thomas, principal of Hrownell Hall school, died ihurs- day night from pneumonia following Spanish influenza.

The immediate members of her family who mourn her departure are her father and mother, who have made their home at Brownell Hall with Miss Thomas, and one brother, Trof. Nelson E. Thomas, of Urbana, O. i The German Peoole Offers Peace. ! The new German democratic government has this programme: 1 j "The will of the people is the highest law." The German people wants quickly to end the slaughter. The Dew German popular government therefore has offered an Armistice and has declared itself ready for Peace en the basis of jjstice and reconciliation of nations. i It is the will of the German people that it should live in peace with all peoples, honestly and loyally. What has the new German popular jjovernment done so far to put into practice i the will of the people and to prove its good and upright intentions? a) The new German government has appealed to President Wilson to bring about peace. It has recognized and accepted all the principle which President Wilson proclaimed as a basis for a general lasting peace otustice among the nations. b) Tlie new German government has solemnly declared its readiness to evacuate Belgium and to restore it. c) The new German government is ready to come to an honest understanding with France about. Alsace-Lorraine. d) The new German government has restricted the Ub08t War. No passengers steamers not carrying troops or war material will be attacked in future e) The new German government has declared that it will withdrew all German troops back over the German frontier. ! f) The new German government has asked the Allied Governments to name commissioners to agree upon the practical measures of the i evacuation of Belgium and France, These are the deeds of the new German popular government. Can these be called mere words, or bluff, or propaganda? Who is to blame, if an armistice is not called now? Who is to blame if daily thousands of brave soldiers needlessly have to shed their blood and die? Who is to blame, If the hitherto undestroyed towns and villages of France end Belgium sink in ashes? Who is to blame, if hundreds of thousands of unhappy women and children are driven from their homes to hunger and freeze? The German people offers its hand for peace.
