Germany also protests against the reference in the note of President Wilson to illegal and inhu man acts on the part of her troops and the state ment that the German navy purposely destroyed lifeboats containing people and crews trying to escape. Germany says that she wishes that this point be cleared up by a commission composed of neu tral countries.

On the western center of the American line in the face of a fierce machine gun fire the Americans were forced to give back, but fierce counter attacks regained a part of the ground lost. London, Oct. 21. The following is the note of the German reply in sec tions: Section 1. In accepting the terms for the eracuation of occupied ter ritory the German government has started on the assumption that the procedure of this evacuation and of the conditions of an armistice should be left to the military chiefs in com mand and their military advisers on the ground and actually in touch with the situation and to both sides to agree on the basis of the ar rangements as to a guarantee of the standard of such evacuation. Second 2. The German govern ment suggests, the appointment of a neutral commission to say whether it has been guilty of the wanton destruction of territory in the occupied territory. It does not believe that, the President will op pose terms ' irreconcileable to the konor jtheGerman people or those I not open the way to a peace with Justice. Section 8. The German govern ment protests aganist the reproaches of the President in his charge of in humane treatment on land and sea and says that is also a reflection on the armies and the sailors of Ger many and the German people as well. In the carrying out of a retreat it i3 always necessary to destroy some property which is unavoidable. Section 4. The German govern ment denies that it has been sinking life boats purposely containing sail ors and passengers and it has given orders to its submarine command ers to desist from torpedoing ships carrying passengers, but does not guarantee that these orders will reach at once all of its submarine commanders on the high seas. Section 6. As a further condition of peace President Wilson insists that every arbitrary power and every possiDie oDstruction that can possi the danger from the disease. Tho British Advance.

Wilson, Routi No. 4, received a telegram a few days ago that her brother, Willian nent peace for all the world be re moved. To this the German gov ernment replies that the German people have been granted through the Reichstag the right to an indi vidual and secret ballot and that all direct influence has been removed from them. I Section 8. The leaders of the J great parties in the Reichstag are I members of this government. In the J future no German government can be conducted without the consent of the Reichstag and the powers of this Congress are made paramount to any other government in the country. Section 9. The permanence of thlsj new government is guaranteed not only by the constitution which has been changed in accordance with the wishes of the representatives of the people, but is safeguarded by the unshakable determination of the German people who demand the con-! tinuanco of these reforms and a gov- j ernment by the people.

Senators Simmons and Overman are to make demands of the' War Industries Board that the report of the inves tigation into the abrasive supply of western North Carolina be made public. The Department of Interior sent its agents to the mountains of the State to determine the quality and quantity of the naural abrasives wih the view of utilization for war purposes. The report has been la belled "confidential" by the War In dustries Board, although it has been read by some members of Congress. Col. S. A. Jones, of Waynesville. who has been untiring in his efforts to present the merits of the moun tain abrasives, does not fail to ex press his opinion of the attitude of the War Industries Board. The board, however, contends that the supply of artificial abrasives is ade quate to the war needs and that it vnold be a useless investment to tap new sources for abrasives. Western North Carolina folk are dairnin,-; that the War Industries Hoard is patronizing a New York manufacturer of artificial abrasives t lmost exclusively. The report of the investigators that visited western North Carolina as agents of the Department of In terior, it is understood, substanti ates the presentation of the abrasive supply as presented by Colonel Jones. The supply is almost limit less, and as a North Carolina Sena tor expressed it "enough to supply 'he world." The tilt between the North Carolina Senators and the War Industries Board may develop an interesting controversy. Paris Don't Think Much of It. Paris, Oct. 22. The German re ply to the note of President Wilson wa sreceived here too late for the afternoon papers, but was eagerly j discussed in official circles by all shades of politicians. Among the deputies of all forms of political belief the opinion was expressed first of all, it betrayed no sincere desire for repentance on the part of (lie German governmnt, but ather a state of depression among the German people o naccount of the succos of the allied arms. As a whole the note is equivocal and tor tuous and platitudlnously phrased for the purpose of further quibbling THE WEATHER For North Carolina fair and con tinued cooler, with light frost in mountain districts.

Germany has replied to President Wilson with a note which, thouggh no one is prepared to say it will lead the President even to continued ex changes on the subject of an armis tice and peace, at least has served almost to bring conviction here that the people of Germany actually are taking the reins of government and sincerely desire peace on any terms the United States and the Al lies are willing to give. There is no no intimation of the attitudo of the President and prob ably there will bo none until the official text of the new German com munication has been recelvod. The President was in conference all last evening with Secretary Lansing, dis cussing the note as received by wire less late in the day. Like the re ply to t,'h President's inquiries a week ago, this note was sent out from the a wireless stations and picked Allied countries many DONATES $5,000 TO FIGHT EPIDEMIC. h inn Raleigh, Oct. 22. A statement from the State Board of Health in night issued on the day's reports from me miiuenza epidemic, say "there is no cause for panic, but there Is cause for determined, energetic and unselfish work among the sick on the part of those able to perform the service." The situation in the State was without any improvement yes terday, considered as a whole. Some communities are recovering from the epidemic and others are being stricken. The experience of Lumberton is cited to point out the danger of lifting health regulations against crowds, and where effective, against the sale of soft drinks. The Health Board again empha sizes the absolute need of taking the known simple precautions against the spread of the infection while at the same time again most strong urges that aid through local organ izations offers the only method of relief.
