SCENE IN BOLOGNA STATION Allen Knemy Psmslss Put Under the Permit Rules—Oreat Plana for the Further Relief of Belglana and French. (From Committee ea Publlo IpforaaaUoa.) Washington.—How the hundreds Of thousands of unfortunates driven from their homes In the course of the Aus trian invasions of Italy were safely piloted to their destinations la related In a report received from ap American Red Cross worker whoshas been look ing after refugees in Bologna. "An arrival of emigrants from Eu rope would give but a faint Idea of an exodus of refugees," the report says. "Many of them are taking their first Journey on a railway. In most cases It is Impossible to make themselves un derstood. They pour Into the Bologna station, dragging behind them unwieldy packages, flasks, bottles, babies, sew ing machines, hens (refugees have cats, dogs, canaries, bullfinches, pig eons, turkeys—ln fact, our rest home has seen every variety of winged ahd four-footed live stock). There they stand, stupefied by the noise* and con fusion of the arrlvsT, utterly unable to move, while maybe their train Is about to depart "However, we are there, looking for Just such as they. The willing eoldlers who are assigned to help the Red Cross take their difficult bundles, the huge sacks and a few of the ba bies. We take the eldest child, leading the way as a sort of decoy; and away wt go, In and out of passenger, trains, troop trains (no bridges or subways here), until we arrive at the train de sired, hidden away behind all these obstacles, absolutely unattainable If not for our Intervention. "The train is Jammed. They always are. Everyone on board cries to us there Is not another Inch of room. We pay no attention to them. Our fattest soldier enters a car and opens a pas sage for the family. When all the mem bers and their endless belongings are squeezed in we go back and pick up another family." Seven thousand men at Kelly field, division of military aeronautics, last month saved articles which in other' times would be regarded as Junk, but vhlch brought the government SB,BOO, Some of this refuse was old paper, oil barrels, straw, bags, garbage, tin cans, and metals. In addition, great piles of old cloth ing, tents, motorcycle parts, airplane fittings, engine parts, rubber tires and' the Uke were saved. "Don't throw It awny" Is the slogan which Is prompt ing the accumulation and sale of masses of materials at this and other camps. The fruit and milk cans that the "kitchen police" smash every day, for example, bring considerable money to the government. They sell at sl6 a ton. Kelly fleld ships tbem by the car load to copper refineries, where they are thrown Into flumes and serfs to collect millions of molecules, of copper that would otherwise be washed away. The cans are then heated, the copper separated from the tin and marketed. How to conserve clothing and shoes, lumber and equipment is taught the soldier, who is not slow to see the ad vantage In dollars to himself as well as to the government. It Is Intended soon to open shoe repair shops and tailor shops at Kelly fleld to make the work of reclamation of still greater value to the government. Midnight of October 6,1918, has been flxed by the United States attorney general as the time vsen regulations establishing a one-mile prohibited area around federal or state forts, camps, arsenala, aircraft stations, government or naval vessels, navy yards, factories or workshops for the manufacture of munitions of war, etc., ahatl be effec tive aa to Ocrmau alien females. This date Is flxed by the attorney general under authority granted to blm In the president's proclamation of April 19, 1918. The effect of the attorney general's act In fixing this date Is to make It unlawful for any Oerman alien female of fourteen years of sge and upwards to be found within one-half mile of any of the places mentioned (except on puhMc carriers) without a permit from the United Btates marshal.

This amount of food, together with the native produce, fit** on «T«rage ration of about 2,000 cnlorlee—about half the consumption ot the American people. This program Is estimated to cost during the twelve months, for purchase and transportation, approximately 1880,000,000. The finance has been ar ranged on the basis of advances to be made by loans from the United States to the Belgian and French govern meats In amounts sufficient to psy for the material purchased in the United States. The British and French gov ernments are advancing In Europe the suras necessary to meet the expendi tures made there for shipping and for foodstuffs coming from other quarters than the United States, In addition to the fleet controlled by the relief commission the United States imd allied governments are plac ing at Its disposal 200,000 tons of ship ping recently obtained from the Swed ish government for nonwsr tone pur poses. The commission announces that besides the food which it Intends' furnishing these etrlcksn people there, will be needed for them sbout 20,000. tons of clothing and cloth. Through. 4he co-operation of the Red Cross about 5,000 tons of these supplies have been collected and the work of collec tion still continues.

"Expenditures In France to July 1, 1918, totaled $86,618,082.78, of which 121,160,682.00 was apportioned for re lief work among refugees, reclaiming devastated areas, the light against tu berculosis, operating expenses and other expenses that have to do with the civilian population," the report states. "The demands for the next six months for the same purposes are $84,- (582,827.67." The total of the expenditures for re lief work ahd the reconstruction of devastated villages and the care of refugees from the devastated areas was $6,667,603.76. The third largest Item was for a campaign against tuber culosis. This work absorbed $2,147,827. For the care of children In France up to July 1 the expenditure was $1,140,129.70. The cost of relieving refugees will be financed from an ap propriation of $6,212,280.70, which has been set sslde for the purpose. Befall prices of food aa reported to the United States bureau of labor sta tistics for August, 1918, and Just pub lished, show for the country as a whole an Increase of 2 per cent for all articles combined, as compared with July, 1918. The Increase in price of all articles of food combined In August this year, cmnpared with the same month of 1017, was IB per cent In this period hens showed the greatest advance— -88 per cent Chuck roast Increased 80 per cent, round steak 29 per cent, rib roast 28 per cent, sirloin stesk, plate, boiling beef and bacon 26 per cent each. Bice was 26 per cent higher than a year ago. Beans, flour, sugar, bresd and coffee were cheaper than In Au gust, 1917.

With nearly all the stars of the grme in the army and navy, football will be one of the most popular sport* In the various training camps this au tumn, If reports to the war and navy departments' commission on training camp activities are dependable. Many colleges and preparatory schools hsve snnounced that football will be aban doned io far as academic and collegi nte matches are concerned. Most of the college stars of previous years have entered the service, and the train ing commission's athl/etlc directors sre making plans to employ them In the formation of crack divisional, regimen tal and company elevens.

PLYING TO PROPOSAL OF GERMAN KAISER. ARMISTICE NOT CONSIDERED Preeldent Has Probably Already For mulated His Reply, Subject to Approval of Allies. Washington.—'President Wilson Is conferring with the premiers of the entente nations over the form of an swer to be made to Germany's latest peace proposals.' The lndlcatlone are that It will not be dispatched for a day or two. While there may be some question as to form of the reply, there is no question whatever as to Its nature. It may not uae the short and forceful term "unconditional surrender," which would reflect the sentiment which haa come from the spokesmen of the na tion, but It Is sure to convey to the Oerman government clearly the fact that nothing less than the terms al ready laid down can- be accepted. By this time, Prince Maximilian's note And that of Baron Burlan, the Auatro-Hungarian foreign mlnlater, in official form, undoubtedly are in the foreign offices in London. Paris and Rome, forwards* by President Wil son, as requested by the central pow ers. Obviously the American govern ment would not proceed to speak for the other belligerents on s matter of such importance without consultation among them, and. It is purposed to avoid the mistake of making a curt and peremptory rejection which could be used by the central powers, before their own people, to bolster up the argument that they are waging a "de fensive" war and that the objects of the co-belligerents are to "destroy them." Lacking official announcements of what the President has done It Is highly probable that he had taken one of these two courses: Either he haa asked Premiers Lloyd George, Clemenceau and Orlando to advise him of their replies, or, more likely still, the President already has formulated a reply and asked the pre miers for their acquleacence. PEACE OFFENSIVE LAUNCHED FOR MILITARY PURPOSES New York.—Once more it is essen tial for the Amerlosn, people to rec ognise that they are in the presence of a peace offensive launched for mil itary purposes. This offensive is de signed Wbeneflt the military situation of the Oerman by ssvlng the Oerman army from the immediately grave re sults of recent defsata end from the later disastrous consequences to the militaristic hierarchy if the army suf fers wholly decisive defeat. Oermany wants peace, yes, but she' wants peace on her own terma, having failed to Impose victorious peace on her own terms. She ia not in the least convinced that she will hsvs to sccspt our terms. Her statesmen are now maneuvering to disrupt our alliance and at the same time to get the senti ment of the Oerman people behind them again by establishing the tact that the enemy demands that Oer many shall pay the price of her crimes and meet the demand for res toration, restitution, repsrstlon. These demands are Just aa unwelcome to the peasant as tbe Junker and neither Is yet resdy to accept them.

NO COMPROMISE IS POSSIBLE Great Principle Is "Reign of Law, Baeed Upon the Consent of THE GOVERNED. Emperor William Issued a procla mation to the German army and navy in which, after announcing that the Macedonian front had crumbled, he declared that he had decided In ac cord with his allies to sgain otfsr peace to the enemy. The text of the note forwarded by the Imperial Oerman chancellor, Prince Maximilian, to Presldsnt Wil son, through tho Swiss government follows: "The German government requests the President of the United State to take In hand the restoration of peace, acquaint all the belligerent atates of this request and Invite them to send plenipotentiaries for the purpose of opening negotiations. "It accepts the program get forth by the Prealdent of the United States in his message to Congress on Janu ary 8 and in his later pronouncements, especially his speech of September $7, eg a basis for peace negotiations. "With a view to avoiding further bloodshsd, the Gsrman government requests the immediate conclusion of an armistice on land and water and In the air." NEW PEACE MOVE IS NOT AT ALL POPULAR IN WASHINGTON Washington.— The sew peace move is not popular here. It is believed that the President will give it a quick and decisive answer. Leaders of Congress are unwilling to negotiate with Germany for peace. Here and there a member of the house or senate who hesitated about entering the fight against German au tocracy thinks that It would be wall to discuss terms with the Berlin gov ornment, but the more sturdy con gressmen believe that the President should turn the proposition down flsL There is very little sympathy here for Germany, Austria or Turkey, and a majority of Jhe senators and repre sentatives hope that the president will give s quick short answer to the Oer man chancellor. STRONG LANGUAGE EXUDES PROM GIRMAN NEWSPAPER Amsterdam.—Oermany Is beginning to realise and admit that It is a na tion of scoundrels. Press oommsnt, always ths best key to the public opinion of a nation. Is veering around to the point where it Is confessing Germany's faults. Frank ly the Oerman pavers ars beginning to admit that they must abandon ths Idsa that their armies are lighting tor conquest, and rsallss that what they ars tffcUag for Is bare egletenee. "It Is a matter of damnable Import ance," says Ths Cologne Osistto, al ways regarded as a semi-official Jour nal, "whether we are or ars mot re garded throughout the world as a na tion of blackguards. Indeed we are being so regarded." DESPERATE PIGHTING GOES ON ON AMERICAN FRONT With the American Arm/ North west of Verdun—The American troops on ths I!ns stretching westward from the Meuss who srs opposed by rein forced units of the Oerman army were busy straightening out the kinks left In their loog front. It was a day lack ing spectacular operations, but a sum mary of the reports reaching head quarters Indicated the desperate skar acter of the flghtlag. The general lias was not materially altered, but such changes as wsrs msde were to the advantage of the Americans. TERSE COMMENT ON OERMAN OFFER AND AS APT AS TERSE Washington —lt hardly Is taking a position In advance of the American gorernment to say that If (he preseat proposition signifies Germany's un qualified acceptance of tbe four prin ciples laid down by President Wilson H will bs considered. If It doesn't; If It Is en acceptance "In principle" with saving diplomatic language paving the way for quibbling around a council ta ble, It will not be conaldsred.
