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

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.
