Kxtrart* from two letters from

Sept. anl', l'JlS.
I>ear Mother and Father:
After about two months of th_- mu i
of i-landers, in "poor little Biiftiuni"
where we had "beaucoup" shell-, and
several bombings, we have had a -o
<alled rest for two weeks.
Now we are back in the thick of it
attain, and after arriving in Urn vil
lage called >a<<t evei.itig, we
were greeted this morning just at
daylight with about ten or twelve
shells. They were all close by, shrap
nels, and burst over the village; some
of it rattled on the roof, but no dam
age was done—that is to say no one
was killed or wounded.
To do material damage would be
impossible, f>| it is literally true
when t say there is not a whole house
standing in the town.
1 saw desolation and d< struction in
Belgium; it was as nothing compared
with the country I came through yes
terday. For miles and mile* not a
house standing, cities and towns lev
eled to*the ground, fields literally
honey-combed with dug-outs and old
trenches, trees, lar^e and small, prac
tically all dead. some of them twisted
off by shells, others had been killed
bv the Huns by hacking about the
trunks: other vegetation had been in
jured by gas. Barbed wire entang
lements there were for miles. Along
the roadaide were crosses innumera
ble which marked the graves of
friends and Huns alike, with here
and there a Boche h-tmet stink on an
old rifle barrel which served as a
cross. .'
It is all very terrible to write about,
yet what I saw yesterday and this
morning so Alls my mind that I have
to write of that which I saw or
nothing.
This morning I walked to the
church here: it had been struck by
a shell but (he interior was not bad
ly damaged. Of course the roof was
badly Flattered; tile roofs do not
■land shell Are very well. In the
church yard one could easily discern
the work of the Han. Tombstones
overturned and many of the mauso
leums broken open t«e tops torn from

This is to ha just a note for we are
awfully huay just now.
I wrote a letter to you and father,
jointly, atxiut three nights ago, I fear

My dear Sister:
f feel ashamed to write you now as j
it has been so long since I wrote you.
but don't feci b-.dl "«cause I have -o
much to think of and do 1 can't write
every time 1 want to. I suppose you j
1 now about me any way thru ihe;
home folks. I am getting along fine
and :m having very good health. The'
weather has started to get cold over |
hce now, but not enough to make a
fellow put on more clothes yet. The'
last letter I had from Nan she said
that Sam was on hi* way over, but
thought he would go to Italy. If he
would let me hear from him I would
be better satisfied I have written
him several times but he has not an- 1
swered any of my letters. I would
be (Isd if you would get his address 1
from Papa and send it to me in the
next letter. If he u in France and]

him over here. They say Kdd Cox it
over here too, and lots of the other
boys that I know, but I have never
run up with any of them yet. If we

AWKWARD ATTEMPT 19

Wukwflsn Ot. 21—German j tut*
replie/l to Prnultnt Wilaon with a
note whu h though no one ia prepared
U «ay, it will lead Dm Pmidral even

•A an armi*t»r» ami pear*, at leaat haa
aerved almost to bnn( etmvtctun
hera that the people of Germany ac
tually are taking the rein* of govern
ment and ainrerely deaire peace on
any terma the United State* and the
alliei are willing to give.
There was no intimation tonight of
the attitude of the Prerident. and
probably there will he none antil the
nffintl tent of the new 'German com
munication haa been received. The
Preeident waa in conference all even
ing with Secretary Lanamg diacoa
aing the note a* received by wirelena
late ta the day. Like the reply to the
Preaident'a inquiries a week ago, thia
note wax sent oat from the German
wire lev* atatwma and picked up in the
allied countries many hour* before
the official teit could move by caMe.'
The ofllrutl version probably will
rome tom«r row tnruutfh the Swum le
gation here.
Important i nournllll
A* receives] by wireles* the note is
believed to be alifhtljr (irbM in the
important untmca rtpinlinf condi- j
lions for the mrwtim of invaded
territory smi for* an armutin, but
nevertheless it in regarded a* an awk
ward attempt to meet the conditions
laid «fown by President Wilson tor
ran*ule ration of an armistice. And it
makes the significant declaration that
the pnernment in Berlin no longer is,
responsible to a single arbitrary in-!
fluence—the kaiser—bat is supported
by an overwhelming majority of the
German people.
This declaration in supported by the.
are in |»i »fTl «*» fn aceofd wftfc the de
termination of the people tinder which
no government can take or hold office
without the confidence of the major
ity cf a reich'tag elected by universal
secret suffrage. It is accorded more
consideration here becau/e of confi
dential advtcee received only today in
lieatmg that the German middle
•lasses have resolved to have peace at
•ny price, arid if necessary are pre
pared to get rid of the kaiser, the
crown prince and a!) military control.
Geaaiae FJartu to Get Peace.
Thus the belief is strengthened that
the present note and those that have
tone before are genuine efforts to ob
tain peace, and are inconclusive mere
ly berau.se the German's conducting
the exchanges are seeking to hargain
for -uMnething better than the uncon
ditional surrender they are prepared
to give if pushed to the wall. It is as
sumed also that they want to prepare
g-a.)ually the German public for a
realization of what has happened to
their military machine and the war
lord'* dream of power, so as to avoid
a complete collapse of government.
Dipl omatic observers point out that
the President is at liberty with per
fect consistency to make no response
at this time, but to await develop
ment..; to await the performances of
the promises of the Ge-mans not to
torpedo passenger sh'ps, their im
plied promise to work no more des
truction during their retreat from
Belgium and Prance than military ne
cessity requires, and finally to await
further development of the political
leaven that evidently is working to
ward the complete overthrow of mili
tary and autocratic power in the em-(
pire.
No I at mediate Cessation Hontilitiea.
No one believes that an immediate
ces ation of hortilities is in sight.
The opinion most generally held is
that if Mr. Wilson decides to make a
reply, and if the entente governments
agree, the only step possible at this
time would be to sanction preliminary
arrangvments to be dictated by Gen.
Poc\ in the field for withdrawal of
the Germans without further fight
ing. Such arrangements of course,
would be contingent upon guarantees j
of continued supremancy of the ric
torious allied armies, and consequent
ly virtually would mean surrender for
the Germans.
The official view her? so far has
been that evacuation of invaded terri
tory mart be completed before there
can be an armistice. Should Presi
dent Wilson after consultation with
thi allies adhere to this view the work
of driving the Germans to and across
their own borders would proceed and

Press Comment.
Washington Post: The communica

obtain relief for the German army by
uttering a series of falsehoods and
false promises to President Wilson.

many may tvay: 'Surrender to Koch.'
New York Herald Today as on the
heels of the American note of October
8, the demand of the American people
will be—no armistice, no negotiations,
no discussions, no peace until there is
open admission of defeat by whatever
government Germany may hav". and
no thought of peace until the German
armies have surrenderd uncondition-,

German courage and an inclinaiian to

No Certainty Yet as
To Size of The Loan.
Washington. Oct. 21.—After read
ing a nunl*r erf late reports on the
outcome of the fourth liberty loan
campaign, which closed Saturday,
treasury oOcials declared tonight
there i* little certainty at this time
either of the total volume of the anS
senptions or the number of subecrib
er». They still felt no doubt that the
loan had been overscribed but ex
plained that many earlier messages
appeared too optimistic in the light
of actual figures now being compiled
by every bank and local committee
over the country.
There was good ground, however,
for the estimate that 22.000.000 or
more individuals had subscribed to
the greatest war lean ever floated by
any government. The fart that many
of these represented lamp subscrip
tions by corporation* which later
would re-ell bonds to their employ*
led to the belief that the number of
actual bondholders would be coaeid
erably higher.
