No Cessation of Arms .-While Enemy Acts of Inhumanity, Spoliation And Devastation Continue Presi dent Wilson Tells Germany. Washington, Oct. 14. President Wilson has answered Germany's peace proposal with a decision which not only fulfills the expectations of supporters of his diolpmacy but al so dispels the fears of those who pre dicted he would substitute victories at arms With defeats at diplomacy. AUTOCRACY MUST GO! No peace withKaiserism! Auto cracy must go; no armistice can ev en be thought of while Germany con tinues her atrocities on land and sea; one cannot be considered unless it is fully dictated by the allied com manders in the field in such terms as absolutely provide safeguards and guarantees that Germany's part will not be a scrap of paper. This in a few words is the Presi dent's answer. MAY CAUSE REVOLUTION. If it does not bring a capitulation which may be more than uncondi tional surrender allied diplomats and American officials believe it may cause a revolution in Germany. Beyond question it speaks for the entente allies as well as the United States. The dispatch of the President's re ply was followed by the issue of this formal statement at the White House by Secretary Tumulty: "The Government will continue to send over 250,000 men with their supplies every month and there will be no relaxation of any kind." NO THOUGHT OF STOPPING FIGHT. Quite outeside of the formal phras es, of a diplomatic document that was President Wilson's words to the world that he had no thought of stopping the fighting at this stage. The Senate chamber ran?? witb ap plause of Senators as the President's answer was read a few minutes after it had been announced at the State Department. OUR GOOD OLD DOCTORS ARE ON THE GO In The premium list of the Granville uounty Jbair nas arrivea ana may be had free at the following places: . Prof. J. F.. Webb, Court House. ' Lyon's Drug Store, Oxford. L.- C. Wilkerson, Stovall. - L. S. Kussell,-Berea. Drug . Store, Stem; Garner Drug Store, Creedmoor. Pittard's Store, Hester. Gooch-Bobbitt Co., Wilton. Currin's Store, Hargrove. - W. L. PEACE, Sec'y. They Are Worth Their Weight Gold When You Need . Them. There must . com a- time when a sudden qualm or a pain or a fever and a riotous fear of death or long illness will make the sight of a pa tient doctor at the bedside seem like unto a vision of heaven. Doctors have their faults. Yet they, are mighty-comforting to have about and on the whole, mightily eflicient. Virtually every man in the medi cal profession in Granville county has been working about twenty. hours a day since the grip epidemic pnt undfir wav. For most or tne work they are doing these physicians neither receive nor expect adequate pay. When the epidemic is over we shall have the doctors to tnanK De r.ause it wasn!t worse. Similarly, many people in good health owe their vsrv existence to iorgotten raeuicoa who steered them safely through the serious illness that falls to every one at some time or other. It is true that a great many peo ple overdo doctoring. And tnere are doctors who take advantage oi me habit to fatten their incomes. But it is to the everlasting credit of all physicians that in a pinch like this they forget themselves aitogeiaer and work wthout reward almost un til they drop. In the ordinary course of life, in their hospitals ana among the poor, most doctors play a part much like that of the soldiers, whose chief reward is the memory of un selfish service. Surely we owe our physicians a great debt at this time. j - DEPUTY HUTCHINS LAND NO- TORIOUS AUTO THIEF Mr. Frsink Taylor last Satur day night heard a strange noise in the earase of Mr. R. H. Lewis on Gil liam street between High and Front streets, and notified Officer Hutchms, who hastened to the scene and ar rested a white man who gave , his name as Oscar Mitchell, formerly of High Point, but more recently of Birmingham, Ala.
