Translation of a communication
from the German government, dated
October 27, 1*18, as transmitted by
the--Charge d'Affairs a. i. of Switz
erland, October 28, 1918.
The German government hag taken
cognizance of the reply of the Presi
dent of the United States. The Pres
ident knows the far reaching changes
Which have taken place and are being
carried out in the German constitution
al structure. The peace negotiations j
of the people in whose hands rests/
the authority to make decision?. The ;
military powers are also subject to
thHs authority. The German govern- '
men t now awaits the proposals for an
armistice, which 1b the first to?
ward peace of Justice, as described
by the President in his "pronounce
ments.
(Signed) ? SOLF,
State Secretary of Foreign Affairs.
Berlin, October 27, 1918.
Lett?? From Soldiers In France.
Continued from page one
and the KaiBer 1b wiring to the Presi
dent of the United States that he will
accept an honorable peace, he has his
men on high seas sinking ships, mur
dering men, wemen and-chlldren. No
mun can be made to believe that Ger
many wants an honorable peace so
report may cme out that the Kaiser
has abdicated but the American sol
dier has to know for himself.
It may be one, two, or three years
before the Khaki boys eai a Christmas
dinner at home (but I think one will
be the limit) with their friends but
every one is willing to remain In or
der to bring back home honor and na
tional peace.
Germany has been flirting for many
years, is still flirting with Japan and
probably others, but when the Khaki
boys be^n to sing " where do wc go
from here, boys?" on the other side
of the Rhine there will be uo more
flirting with the Kaiser, and he cannot
look back and say "I have fought a
good fight." but he can say. "i have
r wished my course."
Message from London. Oct. 14th,
reads: No tmeporary armistice ,nor
i'.ry armistice at nil. unless accompan
ied by Germany's unconditional sur
render. This is the dominant note
from the commeuts of Wilson and Lan
sing. The leaders of all peace loving
people, can see in Germany's endeav
ors to open peace negotiations merely
an attempt to avoid disaster and to
save her military reputations.
Wilson understands the people "with
whom he is dealing. Germany is try
ing to plead now that the Allied lead
orrf and Wilson does not understand
them In their conditions, but Wilson
says you do not want to be under
stood when you are pleading with me
for peace and that you hare war
enough, then in, the meantime compel
your men, against thtfir will, to de
stroy cargo, burn homes, sink ships,
I and murder innocent women and chil
Idren. Dropping bombs on Red Cross
buildings ad hospitals the like of whicli
' no other nation ever did before in
,time of w*r or peace.
The American boys are all in it tc
i the Inst unit nd backed up by the
Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., and the others
left behfind and they will not be sat
isfied until every Hun is in want ol
some hiding place and then with a cr>
to >V'ilson "go to" and don't let go un
til they are satisfied of war, then lei
every Khaki boy have ttvree more
rounds each. Then the boys will beglt
to sing "pack up your troubles ir
your old kit bag and smile" and end
vUli "the Stars and Stripes will wave
years to come."

Dear Sir:
It is with much satisfactioik that we are able to announEe
to you that the health authorities of the the State have deemed
the influenza situation sufficiently decreasing and under control
to.allow the tobacco markets to rasume their resular sales on
Monday, November 11, 1918. Therefore on that date I will re
open the Union Warehouse for youi accommodation and hope
to have the pleasure of selling a load'of tobacco for you. When
we closed clown for the epidemic of influenza, the prices were
good, some of which we give below.
Baker and Hall, 592 lbs. $265.74, average $44.88.
Baker andDunston, 704 lbs. $300.80, average $55.50.
A. It. NicHolson, 724 lbs. $352.00, average $48.G2.
Crudnp and Morgan, 838 lbs. $386.20, average $46.10.

The indications arc that tho prices will he equally as good
or better wften the sales resume on Nov. 4tli, especially so if the
market is not too badly crowded at once. Again we will call
your attention to the fact that you can't afford to sell your to
hacco at home, the priees are so high and advancing so fast that
yon can't help but lose. Strip it and bring it to us. We have
always served you to the best advantage-mid we will continue
to do so.
The Union Warehouse is the farmers friend?in fact it is
his house, and we want tolmake its business true to the house.
