WAY TO TURK CAPITAL OPENED French Troops Advance Between Oise and Serre in New Attacks REPUBLICANS MUST MEET PRESIDENT’S CHALLENGE; HONOR OF CONGRESS STAKE Chairman Hays Issues Party Reply to Appeal of President for Dem ocratic Congress. ONLY DEMOCRATS RECEIVE CREDIT Although Republicans Have Generously Sup ported Him, Wilson Praises Party Men. New York. Oct. 27—Chairman Will H. Hayes, of the Republican National Committee, has issued a reply to the appeal of President Wilson to elect only Democrats to Congress. As spokesman for his party. Chairman Hayes voices the opinion of Republi cans on the issue. The reply was made public yesterday afternoon. It says: In his statement President Wilson has questioned the motives and fidel ity of your representatives in Con gress. He has thereby impugned their loyalty and denied their patriot ism. His challenge is to you, who elected thosS representatives. You owe it to them, to the honor of your great party and to your own self-respect to meet that challenge squarely, not only as Republicans, but as Americans. I. as your chairman, call upon you to do it. MY. Wilson accord-s the Republicans no credit whatever for having sup ported the war measures proposed by his administration, although they have done so with greater unanimity than the members of his own party. Dr pite that fact, he accuses them of having tried to usurp his proper func tinns. At no time and in no way have they tried to take control of the war out of his hands. The president knows that. The country knows it. You know it. A more ungracious, more unjust, mere wanton, more mendacious accu sation was never made by the most reckless stump orator, much less by a president of the United States, for partisan purposes. Admits They Are Pro-War. It is an Insult, not onlv to every level Republican In Congress, but to e'-ery lovnl Republican In the land. It ful'v merits the resentment which rl-htfu'lv and surely will find expres sion pt the polls. Mr. Wilson grudgingly admits that the Republicans have been "pro-war.” Then why does he demand their de feat? Recause tlipy are still pro wer? Hardly that. No. It is because they are for peace through, not without, victory beefuse thev do not believe lasting peace can b" obtained through negotiations; be cause tbev consider that U. S. stands for unconditional surrender, as well rs for *he United States and Uncle Snm The *>mocratic Congress does tw. Mr. Wilson does not. There is U'-> is'tie clear as the noonday sun. The emtotry will decide. Mr. W'lson wants only rubber FUmis. his rubber stamps. In Con g-pss. He savs so. No one knows It potter than Democratic congressmen, po mils for the defeat of pro-war Re ruh':csns and the election of anti-war j-v>r.-ocrats. He says the executive Is po longer satisfied to be one branch cf tho government, as provided by the Ridding for Mastery. r*cnnhiiean congressmen must be debited and Democratic congressmen most, as they would, yield in every thing. That is evidently his idea— the idea of an autocrat calling him self the servant, but bidding for the tn-»sferv of this great free people. neoi!b"cans in Congress have seemed to him good enough when thev assented, as they did assent v*h highest patriotism and some H’-es against their best Judgment, to hts proposals. Republicans at home h-”e seemed good enough to send f’-Mv mi'l’on of their sons into bat *o furnish at least half of the army red f'r more than half of the money f—• winning of the war. but they are r-» considered' good enough to have, a »-45, many of which are now beyond danger, if not abso lutely well. The number of deaths is 83, seven having been reported since noon Saturday. City Health officials are greatly pleased with the situation as shown by the great decrease in the number of cases. No abatement of the strict closing orders will be permitted how ever, the Health Commissioner said. The ban will remain in effect through out the entire week, he said, and no public meetings of any Kina win De al lowed. The deaths from influenza since noon Saturday follow: Lena Marvin, 27 yenrs old, 225 Baugh avenue; Mary Sankey, 74, 1722 Frederick avenue; Steve Tica, 30, HOG North Third street; Isadore Bloom, 21, 1817 College avenue; Margaret Sweit zer, 23, 612 North Sixth street; Ethel j Murdock, 25, Forty-third street and Baltimore *and Ohio tracks; Mary Brown, 20, rear of 111 Bowman ave nue. Mrs. Sankey died at the Deacon ess Hospital, where she was taken some time ago from her home on Frederick avenue. The small number of cases report ed the past few days lead Health au thorities to believe that physicians persist in holding up reports of their influenza cases until they have a con siderable number on hand. This leads to a congestion of reports when they are turned in, and does not give a fair idea as to whether the disease is on the decline or whether it is spread in, Health officials said. It is believed, however, that the weather conditions in the past two days have done much to alleviate the situation, and it is said that if it continues to remain cold with a little rain, the disease will absolutely dis appear in the near future. Influenza germs are killed by the cold and rain, physicians assert. Humane Officer James K. Ewing, supervisor of the Ewing Hospital, j which was organized last week to care for influenza patients who couia not be taken to a private home or to! one of the hospitals here, said this, morning that he is preparing for long siege from the disease. “The situation does not seem to be (Continued on Page Seven.) CORP. HAROLD SMITH ON CASUALTY LIST Corp. Harold F. Smith. TWO LOCAL NAMES ON CASUALTY LIST Corporal Harold Smith and Sergt. Frank Gill Officially Listed, Two East St. Louis names In the casualty list this morning are Sergt. Frank Gill Jr. of the 124th Field Ar tillery who died of wounds Oct. 4th, and Corp. Harold F. Smith, 131st In fantry, who was wounded in action Aug. 16th, both having been previously announced. Harold F. Smith is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank C. Smith of Chicago, formerly of 616 N. 12th street, East St. Louis. He left East St. Louis in July, 1917, with the 124th Field Ar tillery and was afterwards transferred to Jhe 131st Infantry, the "Dandy First.” He was wounded Aug. 16th when the "Dandy First” went over the top for the second time and success fully gained their objective. He cabled his parents Aug. 19th that he was wounded and in a Base Hospital at Portsmouth, England. Later they re ceived the telegram from the War Department and then a letter from their son describing his injuries and saying that he was recovering. He wrote that he would never be able to carry a pack on his back and hike like he has, but there would bo some thing he could do f.o elp and he was anxious to be up again and holding some job in Uncle Sam’s army. Sergt. Frank Gill Jr. died of wounds received in action Oct. 4th. He was with the 124th Field Artillery. His parents received the telegram from the War Department Sunday, Oct. 20th. In his last letter Sergt. Gill wrote, “A fellow has only one chance to do something for our grand old flag. I wish 1 had nine lives like the cat to lose fighting for our country and my loved ones at home.” He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gill of 1S19 St. Louis avenue. GEN. LUDENDORF HAS RESIGNED (By United Press.) London, Oct. 28.—Resignation of Gen. Ludendorff as virtual com mander in chief of the German arimes is reported in an agency dispatch from Copenhagen. Ludendorff, who is alleged to have opposed all peace efforts, is said to have been placed by the Kaiser on the unattached list. Another Copenhagen dispatch says it is learned that the Frankfurter Zeitung unqualifiedly demands abdica tion of the Kaiser. One may at well realize it at once that he never can keep up with the supply ^f beautiful neckties. Do This Right Now Send The Daily Journal to your soldier boy in France. Private Charles E. Johns, an East St. Louis boy, U. S. Gen eral Hospital No. 26, says: “I have been overseas, and whenever I would re ceive The Daily Journal it sure was a message from home.

Allenby Captures Last Stronghold Held By Turks; May Seize Alexandretta as Base Mesopotamian Advance Continued British and Italians Capture Important Places in Austrian Defense Lines German Attacks Broken Up. NEW ALLIED ADVANCE STRAIGHTENS LINE London, Oct. 28.—Capture of Aleppo, establishment of ft great bridgehead on the esat bank of the Piave and an important advance by the French between the Oise and the Serre are the most important military developments reported in the past 24 hours. 9 Occupation of Aleppo by Gen. Allenby’s troops has opened the way for rapid advance upon Constantinople from the south. Al though the Turkish capital is 650 miles from Aleppo, on an air line, the two cities are connected by the Berlin-Bagdad railway which will afford excellent communication with Allenby’s bases. It is believed now that Allenby^will seize Alexandretta on the Mediterranean, 60 miles northwest of Aleppo, as a base. Alex andretta has a fine harbor and is connected with the railway from Aleppo to Constantinople by a branch line. Gen. Marshall continues to advance in Mesopotamia, reach ing the southern outskirts of Kurkah and crossing the Lesser Zab River, 65 miles south of the important Turkish base of Mosul. Fall of Aleppo has cut the Turkish armies completely off frottt communication with Constantinople. The British War Office detailing operations on the Italian front announced that the British tenth army, co-operating with the Italian eleventh army, crossed the Piave on a front of about 10 miles, advancing about three miles. They reached the line of Rocandelle to midway between Cimadolmo and San Polo Di Piave, where they were in liason with the British Fourteenth Corps. The latter has captured Tezze and Burgomellanotte. (Rocan delle is four miles west and south of Oderzo. Cimadolma is four miles northwest of Rocandelle and two miles west of San Polo Di Piave.~”Tezze is three miles north of Cimadolma and almost three miles beyond the east bank of the river.) The French advance between the Oise and the Serre resulted in progress of about five miles on a front of more than 15 miles. Crecy-Sur-Serre was occupied and the general line of Bertaigne mont wood, Landifay-Et-Bertaignment, Monceau-Le-Neuf, and Montigny-Sur-Crecy reached. Advanced elements reached the outskirts of Guise. The line now is practically straight from Guise southward to Crecy-Sur-Serre. On the northern portion of the line the Germans launched yesterday several counter attacks, all of which broke down. Counter actions also were repulsed in the Aisne, Champagne, Ar trnnne and Meuse reeions. Germans Make Hard Efforts to Stop Yanks By FRED S. FERGUSON (United Press Staff Correspondent.) With the American Armies in France, Oct. 28.—The fight to check the Americans on the Meuse, it is now evident, is Germany’s supreme politi cal as well as military effort. Orders to prevent the Americans crossing the river southeast of Brieulles at all costa, and the bitter counter attacks directed against our positions on the east bank, are in dicative of the importance the enemy attaches to the present operations. Germany is making every effort to keep her political front as strong as possible by saving her military face. Loss of the important heights east of the Meuse would be the most severe blow the boches could suffer. They constitute the Germans’ strongest artillery positions In this region and would give the Americans control of the terrain for several miles to the northward. American pressure against the new German defense line continued to threaten the enemy along the entire 25-mile front on both sides of the Meuse. One hundred and fifty American bombing battle planes shot up enemy trenches and roads yesterday and dropped five tons of bombs on con centration areas. The German red bullies’ circus op posed the Americans in a violent aerial battle. Lieut. Rickenbacker brought down his twenty-first victim, forcing him down inside the American lines.; where, the doughboys captured the pilot. i American squadrons made twelve1 flights during the bombing raids. Rickenbacker engaged in three com bats. The day was sunny and the air was constantly filled with American aviators. Serbs. Reach New Heights (By United Press.) Paris, Oct. 28—Serbian troops have reached the heights south of the tm- j portant town of Kragujevetz. the I French War Office eastern communl-7 cation announced today. The A us trians have set Are to the station and depot in that place and have inflict* ed atrocities on the population. “The Serbians have reached the heights south of Kragujevetz," the statement said. “In the Morawk Val ley they reached the southern out skirts of CuprIJa. "The enemy sot Are to the station and depots at Kragujevetz. inflicting atrocities on the population and dis persing them." French Capture Farm, 100 Hunt (By United Press.) London, Oct. 28—"On the Lys front south of Deyune French troops cap tured a farm which had been organ ized for defensive uses, taking 100 prisoners," Field Marshal Haig re ported today in his special Belgian communique. “There Is nothing to report on the left flank of the Flanders group of armies." Vienna Reports Repulse of Attacks (By United Press.) Vienna via London, Oct. 28.—"On the plateau of the Seven Communes the enemy jiesterday made a series of strong partial thrusts,” the Anstrian War Office announced today. "All were repulsed, with heavy losses to the enemy." "On the Piave front artillery fight ing was continual,” the statement said. “On both sides of Ilmontello an entente attack on a large scale suc ceeded in reaching the left bank at some points. Bitter fighting is pro gressing.” Mountain Sides Strewn With Dead (By United Press.) With the Italian Armies In the field, Oct. 27. (Delayed.)—The slopes of the four mountains wrested from the Aus trians and held in the face of the most determined counter-attacks are j'rewn with dead. The bodies ar mostly those of the enemy.

DRUGGISTS! PLEASE NOTE VICK’S VAPORUB OVERSOLD DUE TO PRESENT EPIDEMIC I _ y Tremendous Demand Last Few Days Has Wiped Out Excess Stocks That We Had Estimated Would Last Until Next Jan* uary. Last Week’s Orders Called For One and Three Quarter g Million Jars—Today’s Orders Alone Amount to 932,459 Jars Big Shipments Are En Route to Jobbers. Until These Arrive There May Be a Temporary Shortage. All Deals Post g poned—Buy in Small Lots. iETAILERS CAN GET IM 1 MEDIATE SHIPMENTS BY I PARCEL POST R 5, This advertisement is written on Monday, October 21st. It is directed the attention of all distributors of tick’s VapoRub, both wholesale and mtail. In an emergency such as the present epidemic—our duty—and Jour Sjllty—is to distribute VapoRub in the Quickest possible manner to those sec tens stricken by Influenza. We, there jbre, call your careful attention to the flowing: ANGEK OF 8HORTAGEIF SUPPLY IS NOT CONSERVED On October 1st we had on hand, at r factory and in twenty warehcyises Mattered over the country, sufficient VapoRub to last us, we thought, until January 1st, allowing for a 50 per cent increase over last year’s sales, and not counting our daily output. This big excess stoek had been accumulated during the summer months. Then this epidemic of Spanish In fluenza hit us—and in the last 10 days this stock has vanished. At first we thought this tremendous demand would last only a few days, but the ohders have run: Wed., Oct. 16—18,504 Doz. Thur., Oct. 17—25,323 Doz. Fri„ Oct. 18—39,256 Doz. Sat., Oct. 19—45,&33 Doz. Mon., Oct. 21—77,705 Doz. j? Up to Saturday, October 19th, we have actually shipped for this months 1400,284.10, or over twc^ million jars" (Ot VapoRub. fTHE PROBLEM NOW IS TO DIS TRIBUTE VAPORUB QUICKLY Most of this tremendous quantity Is Still en route to the jobbers, but freight and express are both con gested nowadays, and it may be some fime before this supply reaches the jobbers. In the meantime, therefore, |t is necessary that we distribute, as iwidely as possible, the stock that we fire manufacturing daily, together with jthat now on the jobbers’ and retailers’ Shelves in order that it may get to the Influenza districts quickly. Our normal output is about 4,000 dozen per day. We are putting on a night shift, but it will be a little while before that is producing. WHAT WE ASK THE WHOLESALE DRUGGIST TO DO If Last Saturday we notified all of our Jobbers, by Special Delivery, as fol lows 1st—Deals and quantity shipments Of all kinds are cancelled. Fill no quantity orders of any kind, whether taken by our salesmen or by your own. Sell in small lots only. 2nd—Order from ug In as small quantities as possible. If you are out we will try to ship a limited r amount dv marcel i'osi or express, auu pay the charges ourselves. 3rd—In order to make distribution still quicker, we will ship direct tc your retail customers quantities noi more than three, (3) dozen 30c size at any one shipment. 4th—We are now out of the 60c size and will be for the next 10 days. WHAT WE ASK THE RETAIL DRUG GIST TO DO Buy in as small quantities as pos sible. If you have any quantity orders, given the jobber’s salesmen ot given to our salesmen, don’t bother about them—no need to write us—it is absolutely impossible to till these orders at this time, if the jobbers in your territory are out of Vick’s Vapo Rub, we will ship you by Parcel Post, prepaid, quantities not more than three (3) dozen 30c size in any one order. Naturally, we can’t open ac counts at this time, so your check or money order for this amount must ac company order. Don't write us stat ing to ship thru your Jobber, as we then have to wait until we write this jobber and get his O. K. If you wish the goods to come thru your jobber, have him order them for you. SNOWED UNDER WITH COR RESPONDENCE Our force has already been “shot to pieces”—twenty-four of our men are wearing Uncle Sam’s khaki—and this recent rush has simply buried us. All our sales force has been called in to help in the office and factory. We just mention this so you won’t hold it against us if your wires and letter^ aren't answered promptly. SPECIAL BOOKLETS ON SPANISH INFLUENZA We will send, on request, to any retail druggist, 100 or more little ^booklets, just issued, on Spanish in lluenza, giving the latest information about this disease—its history, the symptom?—the treatment, and partic ularly the use of Vick’s VapoRub as an external application to supplement the physician’s treatment. NEW WAYS TO USE VAPORUB In addition to the usual method of using VapoRub—that is. applied over the throat and chest and covered with hot flannel cloths—our customers are writing us daily telling of their suc cess in using VapoRub in other ways, particularly as a preventive. Thev melt a little in a spoon and inhale the vapors arising, or melt it in a benzoin steam kettle. Where th» steam kettle Is not available. VapoRub can be used in an ordinary tea-kettle. Fill the tea-kettle half full of boili..g water, put in half a teaspoon of Vapo Ruh from time to time—keep the ket tle just slowly boiling and Inhale the steam arising. According to a Ful'etln just Issued by the Public Health Service, Dr. Stiles, of this Service, recommends that the nose be kept greased as a preventive measure against the In fluenza germs. For this purpose Vapo Rub is excellent. THE VICK CHEMICAL COMPANY Greensboro, N. C. FOOD VALUE OF COCOANUTS Both the Meat and the Milk Are. Useo in Countrlea Where They Are Grown.

IATS TO SUIT ALL FACES ,1 fathers Exploited in Plain and Tor. j tyred Manner—Fringe, Goura, Shredded Fur and Wings Aro Delicately Used. j New York.—There Is nothing In mll Inery today uroo which one can put I he finger and say that It Is definitely lew. asserts a leading authority. In ooking over the collection, one feels liat a strong struggle goes on between :he fashion for trimmed hats and the 1 fashion for untrlmraed ones. At a meeting of all the milliners In America, which was held In New York last spring, there was a loud clamor for ornamentation in millinery. Tht mere mention of It brought forth thi clapping of hands. Roses were do sired, quills, feathers, fantasies, plecet of fur and Jeweled bandings—In fact anything and everything that woult create something that has not eslstet j for a half decode. The desire of the French for severlt; and that of the Americans for orna mentation are shown, undoubtedly, l the conflicting hots of this auturar an'a head. They are quite attractive They need a veil, and a good-lookins one nt that, for veils are hack In fash ion and they may be the forerunner? of gloves. There are women who always went both, and there is a large majority that avoid both whenever fashion allows the slightest loophole of escape. Even the French forsook veils-for four or flve years; but as the weather last winter demanded that they use every means of protection to their flesh and blood, veils came back as a part of costumery. They at once became orna mental and coquettish. They carried their own collars with them, and they sometimes seemed to carry the hat, •vhich they evidently considered mere y a trifle on which to rest their own •rnamental selves. These are the veils that hold good •>dny. But it is quite probable that hey will be discarded when the cold .'eather comes by those who will take ip the two leading fashions that have >een revived from two years ago: the 'unnel collar that envelopes the neck, he chin and the lohes of the ears, and the hat that envelopes the eyebrows the top of the ears and tb» upper par of the eyelids. What In the name oi all common sense can a veil do be tween these two? Inspiration From tha Anzacs. We like to trace our present fash ions to an immediate Inspiration, trnture than they did in fact. We hate caps on women. There Is omctbiig s>t undying coquetry ]n the rn f THE NEW HATS 03EY NO LAW, BUT SUIT ALL FACES. (1) Adapted Anzac hat made of black aatin and turned up at one side with a huge shell puff made of Nattier-blue ostrich strands. The eoilar is made from squares of seal and beaver, which is a new idea. (2) Shrapnel helmet of violet velvet, with sweeping willow effect in long ostrich flues of black and violet. (3) Cone-shaped- Mexican hat of sapphi.-c-blue velvet, with shirred crown and brim edged with a band of Russian squirrel. (4) Oblong walking hat in imitation of the new service caps. It is made of gray angora with a broad quill of Jet beads. With this goe* a neckpiece of angora heavily embroidered in Jet. There is nothing thnt has not bM0 and yet there is much that Is good and acceptable. Since there is no exclusive path of fashion in which all should walk if they would he in the procession, there is the more genial, broad highway. In which all types are Jostled and min gled and call themselves In the fashion. All the hats of the^ hour are on this broad highway, and that suits the majority. No matter what a woman chooses, she has some innster designer back of her choice. To begin with fabrics, she may keep loyal to velvet, or she may dip Into the caprice of the moment as it is expressed by angora, braid or even serge. She may insist upon satin from now until next April, and she mny choose it in any color that hnrntonlr.es or cor responds with her gown. She may feel inclined to avoid felt, for It Is so little in the picture. As for ornamentation, she mny adopt it if she likes tlie idea. If she prefers simplicity, she has three dozen or more French hats at her disposal. If she likes ostrich feathers, she mnV Join In with the ’Arriets of London nnd 1 buy herself a big. thibk. curled one. place It on her hend. and foci herself as correctly plumed as was Henri Quatre. She cannot buy paradise, be-( cause of a law that Is greater than that of fashion, but she has n plente- 1 ous supply of hnckel, monkey fur or' gottra to take Its place. She will also find that shredded taffeta Is considered as ornamental as dahlias on a turban,1 nnd she will soon realize that tooth brush fringe can be used to flicker over j the surface of any hat, with good j results. Question of Brims and Crowns. j Suppose she is concerned about the shupe of her hat. nnd if she lgn't she; should at once take the lesson of first! aid to the Ignorant. If her face d«»-! i ntands a wide brim, let her choose thai j shape, and she will find that each mil liner has made at least three hats tc suit her fancy. There are Irregular brims; there are i i helms that slope upward on one side and downward on the other, with the r>*-ri!nu8 sine tij; of au airplane whet fhe observer wish* s to see what b happening below. The milliners take it for granted thnt every woman doe* not wish tc conceal the upper part of her face even though fashion has gone to the most extreme limit in that line, se there are hats that roil straight away from a tight headband and spread out to astonishing proportions when they take the air. They are draped, or they are mad.- exactly like a nice thick cream puff, with a bunch of foolish oi daring little feathers coming out of the top, as though the cream were oozing j out. There are comic opera hats, but they do not cl ay- the comedy role on ajyow rolling, dashing, spirited headgear ns against the new street suit which is flpcked with an Insignia never before exploited by women—the stars of serv ice. the insignia of rank, the colored departmental hands. Tlie brims of hats, therefore, are rut according to romance or shortened ac cording to practical Ideas, but the crowns are unusually higl* The ma jorlty of American women have long faces—it is the racial stamp—and to such women a high-crowned lint Is never becoming. The French wear It well because they have slender, oval faces, with pointed chins and delicate ly painted mouths; but when one puts the typical French hat of the hour above the typical American face, with Its lengthened line from high cheek bone to chin and the long clean-cut line of the Jaw backward to the ear then the defects, K defects they are, stand out In a rugged prominence that is far from attractive. The avernge Amerlcnn fnre needs a low-crowned hat. no matter what the brim. This Is a fundamental fact thnt is provoked by a continental demand; !t lias nothing to do with the phases af fashion. We lock our best In width aver the eyes, not height. Each woman, therefore, must strug ile with her own problem in this new leluge hearing down upon us of high crowns. Some of them are direct Imi tations of coaching hats, nnd others 'ise to a peak that no Chinaman ever illowed In the turban upon which we nave patterned some of our new hats.

Don't Prenounco It "e-tla.** A New York writer takes physicist* to task for their almost universal mt» pronunciation of words ending In “ltls* by giving the first “1" the long *V sound. He says this causes many other persons to feel uncertain whether ap pendicitis is pronounced with the tw» final syllables "e-tis" or “i-tls,” with other words of the class—colitis, tonsl ntis and so on—in the same uncertain ty. lie says that according to the rule* of Erigllsh-Latln pronunciation usual ly followed In scientific terminologj (whether from the Latin or the Greek) by English-speaking scientists tht termination “i-tls” is correct. Tin proper pronunciation of appendicitis therefore would be ap-pen-dls-l-tls, which makes the “ltls” like the 1 In and not as e in eel. ~The writer says further: “According to Webster—"ltls" is correct and that the pronunciation “e-tls," so ofter heard, la perhaps due to German In finance.

That An Honored Custom May Not Pass Away An Appeal to Whole Hearted, Whole Soule J Americans Christmas—the name brings to us memories of gorgeous gift-laden trees of holly-bedecked rooms of happy family reunions but war knows no necessity and its gray gloom is cast on the season of “Peace on Earth To Men of Good Will” UNLESS we are willing to follow the die* tates of those who guide our great nation. This announcement is, there fore, directed that you may know the plan suggested to keep a so richly endowed feast. Start Christmas Shopping Now A few days ago a party of prominent statesmen, merchants and manufacturers gathered in Washington to discuss the Christmas problem. After careful thought it was decided that the bulk of the Christ mas business must be accomplished during October and November or ELSE ELIMIN ATED ALTOGETHER. It was concluded at that meeting that the welfare of the na tion would be better served if GIFTS WERE NOT ABANDONED, but given along the following lines: October and November These must be the months to buy and send gifts in order that transportation facilities of the nation be unhampered fqr winning-of -the-war requirements. Useful Gifts Only And, that gifts of necessity be given, ex cept in the case of children, for whom Christmas has always held a sacred happi ness, and, as toys are made from offal of the metal trades industries, the manufact ure of them would in no way stop the mak ing of munitions. Christmas Stoc hs Are Delivered Moreover, it was found that practically all gifts have been completed in manufacture and already delivered at point of sale, so it remained but for the public and the mer chant to agree to suggested rulings. The merchant’s part of the plan is this: Not to Us7 Unnecessary Help That is, follow the custom of taking on ex tra salespeople as usual, which at this timo would take workers from essential indus tries. Not to Increase Working Hours But to'operate with their normal number of employees in regular hours and induce the public to make their pur«.,._^_ in the usual hours, thereby saving fuel. r rry the Parcel Home Retailers also agree to induce the publie to save gasoline and oils. It is only through your co-op _iion that this will tu effective. Whenever you buy ..„m-weight parcel and carry it home consider that you have saved so many drops of gasoline that will revert to our Government’s supply. In Short, Your Part IS TO— Shop for Gifts in October Carry Your Gifts Home Buy Toys for the Children Buy Only Useful Gifts for Your Friends. By so doing yc will "Keep the Home Firee Burning,” bri g the Happiness which only the festive season of Christmas can give be doing YOUR GOVERNMENT AND YOURSELF an immense service. It is a test of your Americanism. Will you fail? Assuredly no! Over the Top—and the best o’ luck, mates, begin shopping right nowl STUDENTS AT RADIO SCHOOL ARE KEPT BUSY Cleon Cowin, in Letter Home, Says Duties Are Numerous. U. S. Naval Radio School Cambridge. Mass., Oct. 20. 131S. Dear Friend: I received your last letter a couple of days ago, as it was forwarded from the Lakes. i he i-ikes School kept us pretty busy, but here we are on the go every minute from 6:15 in the morning till 10:00 at night, as we have so much writing and drawing to do in our logs (note books). We had about 28 ink drawings to make and only three nights in which to do it. We surely had one .pood time com ing up here. We left the Lakes at 7:06 on Thursday morning and after reaching Chicago had a couple of hours to spend there. There we saw an Italian band, from the battle front, that has been touring the country. They lined up opposite us in the Michigan Central Depot and after we cheered them with a couple of "sky rocket yells they cheered for us in Italian and played a good lively march piece. As they were gong to New York-, they made up a special train for them and us. They had three ptillmtinc \v a hurl tU’n and was the baggage car and diner to make up the train.

Bdg Hbc^e Stood 'Vrdpper&dHunfa* Poets and novelist talk about the' “hunter’s paradise.” This still ex-j ists, but it is no longer at the door of the hunter, or even within a few hours’ journey. The last great haunts of the big game today are the Canadian Rockies and Alaska. In these two places big game is yet plentiful, and the reasonable sports man, who has nothing of the “game hog” in his system—and what good sportsman has?—may satisfy his ambition to enjoy a few weeks of the same sort of hunting that “Leather stocking,” Cooper’s famous hero, i found at his very elbow, and to place on the walls of his great hall or his dining room, the heads of moose, deer. Rocky Mountain goats, bear' and other specimens as witness of: feis prowess as a marksman. i in tne Koolenays in aoumern British Columbia, the sportsman still can find within a few miles of each other, what stands today as a record list of big pa me, six different animals, the moose, mule deer, Rocky Mountain goat. Rocky Moun tain sheep, caribou and grizzly bear (ursus horribilis), the last named be ing the greatest prize a North American hunter can secure. The Indians believed that the possession of a necklace of grizzly bear claws made a brave worthy of the name, and the white hunter has always made it a point to deal with tne grizzly with the greatest prudence because old “silver tip,” when wounded, is one of the most feroci ous animals in the world. It has been stated many times that animals do not think, that instinct tells them to do things, or not to do mings, but li me Dig game anmiais do not actually think, they approach very near to the process. In sum mer, when the closed season pre vents the hunter from shooting them, they remain in thj valleys within easy reach; but as if “tipped off” by the intelligence department of the big came army, they promptly hike for the mountains as soon as I September comes, apparently under standing that the open season in the Canadian Pacific Rockies begins in September, and move up to high altitudes. t I There are'plenty of good horses and guides despite the war—even a I sixty-year-old guide can make the average man “go some” to keep up j when on the trail—and there is plenty to eat, both in the woods and in the packs under the “diamond i hitch." NEW SENATOR WILL SERVE FOR SIX YEARS Man Elected November 5th Will Be for Long Term. The United States senator to be elected in Illinois one week from Tues day will be on the Job at Washing ton for six years for the term begin ning next March and continuing until March 4, 1925. This point, with all that it means to Illinois, was empha sixed last night in a statement issued by Frank L. Smith, chairman of the Republican state committee. Text of Statement. Col. Smith's statement said: "The state of Illinois, with its Indus trial, agricultural, and commerc'al su premacy at stake in the election of No vember 5. is entitled to take into con sideration this highly important fact: "The United States senator who will be elected on November 5 will hold office until 1925—or six years from March 4, 1919—the six years that are destined, beyond question of reason able doubt, to be the most critical period and the greatest constructive epoch in the history of the United States. "One solitary proposition has been i.dvanced in behalf of the Democratic nominee for the senate, and that is that the Democratic administration, in control of the executive and legislative departments, must be upheld by the election of Democrats so that there is no break in administration war policies until the war shall be won. Predicts End of War. “The successes of our own armies and those of our allies and the whole sale indications from all of the enemy nations furnish common-sense proof to the thinking man that the war will be fought to a finish, and, we hope, to an unconditional surrender of Germany, certainly before two full years shall have elapsed. "The election of a Democratic United States senator now and of Dem ocratic members of the house of repre senatatives from Illinois districts as a practical proposition means that Illi nois is to be represented in the United States senate for six long years by a Democrat whose policy in the re-cre ation of domestic affairs necessarily must be guided by the whip hand ex ercised by the old-line Democratic or ganization now in control of senate and house. Otherwise the Democratic nominee will fail to be the voting echo which he has formally proclaimed him self to be. Illinois cannot afford to take this chance.” —Save at the Southern— LILLIE VAUGHN IN DAMAGE SUIT AGAINST F.

KAISER ATTEMPTS TO FORCE ALLIED ARMISTICE TERMS; TEXT NOT RECEIVED Germany, in Reply to President, W o u'l d Place Allies in Role of Suggesting Move. NOTE APPEARS TO AVOID CONDITIONS t. _ President’s Stipulation to Surrender Evident ly Not Finding Favor in Berlin. By ROBERT J. BENPER, (United Press Staff Correspondent), i Washington, Oct. 28—Germany ap peared to official Washington today to be atemptfng to force an early sub mission of allied armistice terms. Her latest note for which there ap peared no particular excuse or need carried the plain suggestion that she is struggling now to make the allies appear on the initiative in suggesting an armistice. The official text of the note had not been received early today, but was ex pected soon. Opinion was divided as to its importance, spme officials see ing another step forward in Germany’s efforts and others declaring it merely more camouflage, more flattery of me i i csiuciii vi> iMp,uv« interested and containing nothing new or important. What Germany meant when she said "President Wilson knows of the deep rooted constitutional changes under way” in that country is uncertain. Some believed she might have made a secret supplemental statement as to political reforms. Others thought she was merely try ing to emphasize that political chang es were under way. Her statement that the military powers are subject to new reforms is regarded as inconclusive, though reforms indicated in press reports show on the fact that the German people choose to exercise their new prerogatives. Some looked upon the German note as a maneuver to avoid impositfon of the President’s stipulation—"surren der"_jf the Kaiser does not abdicate. It is held to be a subtle effort to show the United States that reforms are proceeding thoroughly; but aa generally viewed here the world has not had proof that the reforms are thorough, or sincere, or even that they will actually be placed in effect. Resignation of General Uudendorff, Germany's master military mind, is held significant by some and de nounced as camouflage by others. Maximilian Harden s reported state ment that the Brest-I>ltovsk peace had made German statesmen look like card sharpers to the whole world is fairly illustrative of the sentiment here. Hence, there is an attitude of doubr about the real Importance of the I-udendorff action. Another factor in the situation is Germany's constant appeal to President Wilson to get "a just peace.” German papers are indulging in flat tery of him. There is a growing fear that the peace maneuvers are part of a sly Teuton game to cause dissen sion among the allies by appealing to the United States solely on the theory that more lenient treatment can be expected from this quarter than from any other. —Save at the Southern— All kinds of remodeling In ladies’ tailoring; popular prices.

In an editorial a few days ago the Daily Jour nal in discussing the war record of editor Fred J. Kern of the Belleville News-Democrat said he was brought to time for his pronounced pro-Ger manism by the Federal authorities. In replying to this Mr. Kern said “It is a lie.” In another editorial we gave in replying to Mr. Kern’s state that it was a lie ample proof that he had been brought to time by Federal authorities. In his newspaper of October 2 Ith, Mr. Kern says, “We do not know whether we were investigated or not. We did not see any sleuth hounds sneaking around in our back yard. We are entirely too busy to waste our time on sneaks and snakes.” In other words, Mr. Kern no longer denies that he was investigated by Federal authorities, whom he now dubs as “sneaks and snakes,” but says he was not brought to time. If he was not brought to time why did he completely reverse his atti tude on the war in the editorials in his newspaper and in his personal conversations over night? We insist that Mr. Kern was both investigated and brought to time, and had he not reversed himself in his editorials and personal utterances he would have been given the same treatment that has been accorded other pronounced pro-Germans and enemies of this country. The Journal has not or will not resort to any exaggerations in discuss ing Mr. Kern’s unworthiness to hold public office. We have sufficient matter based upon facts and undisputable evidence to show that he is un worthy and unfit to hold public office. Vote for the Constitutional Convention Propo sition, November 5th. EUY WAR STAMPS. The War Savings Drive has been renewed. In this investment you are not buying war savings stamps, but you are selling your money to the government at a profit. For every dollar you put into stamps you get back on January 1, 1923, ap proximately $1.20. No investment could be any safer than this. In proportion to her wealth the United States has by far the smallest debt of any of the active belligerents. In actual indebt edness the United States is the lowest with the exception of Italy. In the United States our na tural wealth is $250,000,000,000. Our present debt is only six per cent of that amount, or $15, 000.000.000. Germany is in debt thirty-eight and seven-tenths per cent of its natural wealth. Great Britain forty and seven-tenths per cent of its na tural wealth. Austria-Hungary with a natural wealth of only $25,000,000,000 has a $20,000, 000.000 debt, or eighty per cent. The money is needed at this time and since the opportunity con fronts us to buy stamp* and make a prolit on small savings, everybody should purchase them.

No well informed man attempts to deny that the United States Congress is now being con trolled by Democratic members who live in the Southern states. No well informed man will deny that these members have done everything in their power to build up the South and saddle the bulk of the war debt on the northern states. If tne Honorable J. Nick Perrin should be elected to Con gress Ije will naturally be in sympathy and accord with his party and will therefore be under control of these Southern Congressmen. If Mr. Roden berg is returned to Congress as our representative he will not be subject to this influence and will naturally stand for such measures as will be for the best interests of the nation as a whole and especially would he oppose any legislation which would tend to be good for one section of the coun try and bad for the other. He would, as a matter of course, as he has always done, stand for such I legislation as would promote the greatest degree of prosperity in his own district. Common sense i would suggest to any thinking man that Mr. Rodenberg shbuld be re-elected as a member of Congress from this district. 1 'the editor with the streak. The columns of the Belleville News-Democrat! have been running over recently with Frederick! J. Kern’s fulsome laudation of himself. The co-j lossal egotism of this consummate and mendacious hypocrite would be amusing were it not quite, j so disgusting. Kern actually believes that he is j easily the greatest man in the State of Illinois, j Pe never misses an opportunity to print his own j portrait in his newspaper accompanied by the; most extravagant praise of himself and his sup-! posed achievements. Just now he is assuming1 j the role of “injured innocence” and is whining like a sick puppy. He has crowned himself with the j halo of martyrdom and is trying to make him l self believe*that he is being persecuted. Like the j bully that he is he winces and squirms when the i searchlight is turned upon his rotten and repre-f hensible record. The yellow streak that always charactei'izes the bully is very much in evidence and the coloring is becoming more pronounced every day. For years this swashbuckler has j wantonly vilified and abused many of our most i reputable citizens and now that he is reaping the fruits of his malice he whimpers and begs for' mercy. No one, however, wastes any sympathy on a snake. His cringing and supplication will avail him naught as the Daily Journal cannot be deterred in its patriotic work of stamping this journalistic hyena once and for all as the most undesirable citizen in St. Clair County. We re gard it as our duty to expose the “cur” in Kern. I _ Vote for the Constitutional Convention Propo sition, November 5tl^. PARTY DUTY DOES NOT REQUIRE HOME BETRAYAL. There may be East St. Louis Democrats who think that they are in duty bound to vote for Kern, however unfriendly he may be to their: place, simply because he was nominated by their j party. This is a great error. No man is bound, j or even expected, to support for public office a j candidate who is an enemy of that person’s home! place, and particularly is this true when such a j candidate stands for an office that bears any re-; lation whatever to the place he is thus inimical to. No party would dare to insist on such an un natural exaction. No party would dare to make one of its tenets that an enemy of a communi ty should be supported and advanced by that com munity, for such a party would not long survive such a declaration. t The Democratic party aims to be a party to sub serve the public good. It nominates candidates; with the view of accomplishing that purpose. It appeals for support upon those premises. It isi never likely that a party will announce that it is an enemy of a community, for no party intends to be or feel such. But it is possible that a party, once in awhile, may make a mistake in its nomi nations. It is possible that a party may nominate a candidate that does not fulfill the requirements of that party’s policy and princip’es. It is pos-i sible that a party may place in nomination a can-1 didate who is unfriendly and dissatisfactory to! a community. When such is the case, the ad i herents of that party are no more in duty bound* to support that candidate than they would be to aid an enemy of their home3 and families, and we j apprehend that no East St. Louisan would do ihe latter. j In fact, an enemy of a community is an enemy! of the homes and families of that community. No party would weaken itself to the extent, that would end in its extinction, to hold that its ad-1 herents must support a candidate who is an enemy' i of a community, its homes and families. The party will regret and lament that it was so un j fortunate as to have selected such a vulnerable candidate, but it will not, dare not, demand sup port of such a candidate from the voters of a community that he is inimical to. No party wdll ever expect such support, and would not much esteem the support of its members under such circumstances. inui is me case wun K.ern in ms relation to East St. Louis. The Democratic party is not un friendly to East St. Louis. On the contrary it is friendly. It is friendly t6 every place. But it made the mistake in nominating Kern, or by per mitting Kern to force his nomination upon it, and thus obtain a candidate that for years has been as bitter an enemy of East St. Louis as any place has ever had, and the party deeply regrets the mis fortune that has befallen it in having such a can didate saddled upon it. But the misfortune that has fallen upon the Democratic party by Kern’s nomination is not expected by that party to be courted or even ac cepted by a community, which by such accept ance would only become to that place an added misfortune and injury. On the contrary, the Democratic party, by all the principles of party 1 existence, by all the rules that govern communi j ties, would and does expect their candidate, Kern, to be rejected by the Democrats of East St. Louis, because of his record of animosity to and hatred I of their place. I No, Democrats of East St. Louis, your party .loyalty, or party duty, not only does not require you to support an enemy of your city, but on the contrary, requires you to guard against and re ject him. Kern is such a man, a demonstrated enemy of your city, not of a day, week or year, but of 20 years, and your duty, looked at from any point cf view, is to prevent him from getting to Legislature where he can effectively injure ’you. i Monday Mtmiries of Sunday’* Sermon By A Sinner Not many years ago the write 1 had the privilege of hearing a ser mon delivered by a young man, wnt but a short time before had been or dained as a minister of the gospel Since that time he has advanced to the foremost rank among pulpit ora tors, and in reading of his later sue cess'es, a memory recalls the sermon heard which was among his maiden efforts. He had chosen the story ol Samson, the strong man of the bible as related in the' book of Judges, as the theme of his discourse. As re called today, the preacher said in part: “There is a short story which gain ed much favor among readers of fic tion that illustrates in a measure the leading thought I shall try to convey to you today. It tells of a reformed burglar who had been a bright and shining light in his chosen profession, if I may be allowed' to so designate his calling, and at a time when he had perfected arrangements to forsake forever his evil ways, anc? marry a good woman, for love of whcm he had taken the step, the unexpected happened. “With a complete set of burglar tools of the latest and most improved design reposing safely in a satchel that he carried, and which were sup posed to be a part of his stock in trade which he was returning as un satisfactory, he was suddenly con fronted with a crisis that called for instant action. "A little girl, a near and dear relative of his promised wife, was ac cidently locked in the vault of a bank. It was newly constructed, and the heavy steel doors were protected by that model of human ingenuity—a time lock. The clock had not been wound nor the combination set, and the terrified banker, who a moment before had been beaming with pride as he explained the intricate mechan ism, now turned pale with horror as he realized that no one nearer than an expert in a distant city could open the door and free the little girl. Tims was precious, for if not doomed to perish for lack of air, she might die in convulsions from sheer fright. The women present, including the little victim’s mother were wild with ap prehension, and wildly appealed to the men to do something—anything that would release the child, and rescue her from impending calamity. “By listening Intently outside the heavy bolted door, they could faintly hear the muffled cries of the little sufferer. It was then that the bride to-be turned to her fiance, the erst while bank burglar, and Implored him for her sake to make some effort to help. No knowledge of his former life or occupation v. as hers. She be lieved him to be, as he had been for some time a reputable merchant, and an honorable man The crisis he faced was the choice between the death of an innocent child, and the loss of his love and the total collapse of his whole future, for Jie had dis covered that in an outer room, an officer of the law- who had trailed him to the little town, after a quest of months, was awaiting the denouement to arrest him for the last crime he had committed previous to bis refor mation- Of this fact the others were um n are. “Not for an instant d'd be hesitate, but with this knowledge heavy on h's heart, opened the catchel. selected the proper tools, and used them with such good effect that in ten minutes, under his expeVt manipulation the vault do'*r was thrown open, and the little girl, collapsed but safe, re stored to her agonized mother. “Of course the story is concluded to the sat'sfactlon of all concerned with the withdrawal of *he astonished and dee”lv affected officer from thf case, and the usual 'happy ever after ending. However the noint I want tr make is this: the story portrays a man endowed with high mechanical ability turned in former days to a sinful use; but w-ith a dormant sens* of honor and right awakened bv love How often is this seen in actual lif» How sad to the interested observei is the sight of God given talent pros tltuted to base and unworthy uses. “In the case of the strong man 8am son, we see his power, although in f way used of God for the overthrow o1 His enemies, wasted in uncalled foi exhibitions to capture the regard of t wicked and designing woman, wh( on’v planned his undoing, and whn. who. blinded bvithe glitter of wealth have sac-ifloed honn* and principle at the evpep-e of the toiling n"s~s“s. and in devious wavs of crooked business defnuded tho«e associated with them, and disgraced I NOTICE OF 6ALE OP COLLATERAL.

Wide Open Towns of the Klondike Gold Rush Days Are Now Quiet Villages All the Gold Country Once Gave the Glad Hand to Every Type of Adventurer But They Want Solid Citi zens In These Days of Pro gress. SKAGl'AV. usually the farthr-t north settlement in Alaska on the coa-t to be seen by the average tourist, is, in reality, but a foretaste of the wonders along the northwest coast and the interior. Instead of the end of a journey, it should be regarded as the beginning of the most var.cd and most spectacular circular tour to be found in the north. Nowhere else in the world Can the titter wilderness and the primeval solitude be seen with so little di-com fort as by a trip from Skaguay by rail road over the famous White Horse Pass to White Horse, by steamer down the mighty Yukon through the famous Brit ish Klondike, to St. Michael and Nome and then back to Skaguay by the long ocean voyage past the charming Aleu tian Mauds. The traveler from Seat tic to Skaguay and return by way of the "inland pa-sage'' will realize why Ala-ka^ Ca-ts a -pell upon all who know it, hut not until he has penetrated to the lone liness of the Yukon and the beautiful but solitary coa-ts of the Aleutians will he fully realize Alaska. Skaguay possesses a wonderful loca ton from the point of view of -Celtic beauty. The town is at the foot >f Taiya Inlet, a narrow water avenue which pushes inland between great peak- with -lope- of eternal green and crc-ts of everlasting snow. This tiny arm of the -ea, unless one looks back to the broader waters, gives the behold er a sensation of strangeness, as though hr were voyaging bv ship through one of the high passes ot the Roekv Moun tain- Skaguay it-elf, however, is sud den pro-e after unrivalled poetry. Parts of it arc charm ng and many pleasant yards gleam with bright flowers in the summer season, but the business section of the town is a- ugly as the scenic set the winter to pass. Then the onward ru-ii left the town deserted and tlie hasty growth wa‘| evidenced bv scores of untenanted buildings which were left to rot. The wild gaycty of those early days leaped from Skaguay to Dawson, and today Skaguay is about as exciting as a Scotch town on Sunday. But Skaguay undoubtedly has a future which promises increasing growth, slow er, but more healthy, than its previous feverish boom. It is a natural hub for excursions and those who can not afford the time or expense of a journey to Dawson or Nome would do well to lin ger over a steamer here and explore tin surrounding country. Dawson is scarcely a name that one would associate with talcs of wild reck lessness but the very word rings in the cars of old Alaskans like the sound of a trumpet. “Oh, those Dawson days, and the sin and the blaze, and the town all opened wide.” Today Dawson is as orderly as almost any city in the United States but in the closing years of the last century there was more excitement to the square foot in Dawson than am where else on the globe. In one sense the terrible toll of lives levied by the hardships of the Chilkoot and bite Horse pa'ses was a boon to Dawson for it sternly enforced the law of the sur vival of the fittest. The women and men who thronged the streets in those early months of the new settlement were hardy even if they were dissipated. In the later rush to Nome am one who could buy passage on a steamer could reach the scene of excitement but nature rigorously limited the numbers of those who sought the Klondike. The tourist who expects to find oppor tunities for reckless dissipation in Daw son' today will be sadly disappointed.

Man seems to delight in spoiling the loveliest effects of nature, and seldom has his perversion been so successful as at Skaguay. It has been called by one recent visitor "the scrap heap of creation," and the description j, not wholly unfair. Much of the ugliness of Skaguay is d'ttc to the Klondike rush. Rising be hind the town is the famous White Horse Pass, the quickest and easiest route to the Klondike. When the rush of IS'W began, Skaguay grew amazingly while the adventurers halted there for Great corporations have merged the in- I dividual mines and they are now strict ly business proportions and arc not ic-* garded as ventures which may make or break. Disorder has been effectually stamped out by the British mounted po lice, the only body of men who have ever proven themselves persistently cap able in the face of such conditions as those which have recently been manifest in New York. Dawson is now clean and quiet, prosaically civilized. But not while men live ho knew the city in its boom period will the old days >c forgotten. The rush was so sudden, •o unexpected, thaf the Canadian au* horitics could not cope with it until ifter many months had passed. From a vildemess Dawson sprang miraculously nto a fhetropolis of 1G.0U0 people, t ie j,ick of the world's adventurers. Sev ral thousand more lived at the nearby nines and came into Dawson every few lavs to squander in the dance halls and saloons the money that they had so rasilv won. Gambling rooms and the dance halls absorbed much of the sudden wealth. Dne man who took out half a million lullars died in poverty a few years lat er. He had had, however, a spectacular rareer while his money la-ted. On one occasion he dropped $10,(XX) in gold on i bar and invited the whole underworld oi Dawson to drink it up. Champagne was- the favorite drink at every bar. It soid for $15 a pint yet the miner who :hrew down a $20 bill to pay for his drink would have been regarded as penurious had he taken his change. N’o longer do women with painted cheeks, clad in the costliest silks, roam the streets ot Dawson; no longer doc* the click of the roulette wheel float ou! from the doors of gambling rooms.

He was rowing the little red canoe “My, but I haven't enjoyed life like thi for many a day.” “‘Monarch of all you survey,”’ shi answered, smiling. “My right there is none to dis pute,’ lie added. He kept, on rowing. Hand over hand the line came in. Sometimes with a strong, steady pull, sometimes like magic. And then—one swift motion— and there it lay flopping in the bottom of the canoe. “That's a dandy!” lie exclaimed. "Oh, you beauty! You handsome thing! And 1 caught you all myself.” How excited she was. “Yes, and without the net,” he said. “Why, I never once thought of a net. I just can’t reel them in. I’m sure to lose them if 1 do.

London, Oct. 28—London news papers are divided in opinion regard ing Germany’s reply. "The note is virtually an unquali fied acceptance of President Wilson’s demands," said the Chronicle. “It carries the situation no further,” the Mail declares. “President Wilson's refusal to the Kaiser and Company has not been met. Germany’s new posture war rants us in believing that peace not only is in sight, but is within reach,” is the opinion of the Daily News. "The promptitude of the reply is 1 evidence of the need and desire for an armistice." the Post says, "but nothing sot far suggests any fundamen tal change In anything in Germany except expectations of victory."

As the “Cheenwah" approached him. the Yank began to hear strange guttural sounds emanating from the Mongolian throat. He bided his time until the Chinaman was well up to him, and then he heard: "Choc-lat! Choc-lat!” This with a beseeching gesture that was most i compelling. The American snorted, for he had been held up all day by naughty little French boys who wanted to smoke and thus stunt their growth before their time.

Card of Thanks. We wish to extend our sincere thanks to our friends, relatives and neighbors for their kindness to us at the time of our bereavement, the death of our beloved wife and daugh ter, Mary Bird Wedel, on Oct. 24th. also to Rev. Wakefield for his serv ices and comfort, and for the rympathy shown in the beautiful floral offerings. DR. L. E. WEDEL AND MRS. MARK BIRD. A. O. H. MEETS TO PLAN FOR WAR WORK DRIVE By special permission from tne war Department, a meeting of the A. O. H. was held yesterday afternoon for the purpose of making plans to assist in the United War Work Drive which begins Nov. 11th. The speakers of the afternoon were Rev. Christopher Goelz, Dr. J. K. Con roy and A. E. Wuller, of Belleville. In their talks they said that all citizens should work shoulder to shoulder with the various war work organizations and even if peace should be declared the work of these organizations would be even more necessary, for after the stress of fighting actual battles was over, there would have to be added strength to withstand the reaction. Camp secretaries in France are going to find their work harder and more needed in the first year o. two after the war, and we must not slacken in our backing of them. Sidney W. Ring was appointed chairman for the city in the National Catholic War Council, Father Goelz, diocesan chairman; Mrs. S. J. Cashel, chairman of the Victory Girls. This later organization is composed of girls who have earned $5.00, and donated it to this cause. East St. Louis wants 1,000 Victory Girls to help in this drive. Mrs. John English was made chair man of the Woman’s Work and Dan iel McGlynn, chairman of the speak ers. Republicans Must Meet President’s Challenge; Honor of Congress Stake (Contlnuea trom Page One.) precisely as he and his sole, unelect ed, unappointcd. unconfirmed personal adviser may determine. The other is full power as the "unembarrassed spokesman in affairs at home,” as ho actually demands in his statement, to reconstruct in peace times the great industrial affairs of the nation in the same way, in unimpeded conformity with whatever socialistic doctrines, whatever unlimited government owner ship notions, whatever whims may happen to possess him at the time, but first and above all. with absolute commitment to free trade with all the world, thus giving to Germany out of hand the fruits of a victory greater than she could win by fighting a hun dred years. A Republican Congress will never assent to that. Do you want a Con gress that will? Germany does. Mr. Wilson forces the Republican party to lie down or fight. I say fight! Answer with your votes! Mr. Wilson is for unconditional sur render—yes. for the unconditional sur render to himself of the Republican party, of t’-e country, of the allies— all to him, as the sole arbiter and mas ter of the destinies of the world. Do you stand for that? Answer with your votes! Physicans Holding Reports on Cases; Seven Deaths Given in Morning Report (Continued from Page One.) greatly improved,” he said, although report* to the Health Department show that there are fewer cases in the laat day or so. I believe some physicians are not making their re ports regular, and that is the reason for the falling off in the number of cases. "Ten more lads were Installed in the hospital in the Josephine Build ing,” he said, "and I expect many new patients in the next few days. The hospital now has six influenza pa tients—one girl and five men. Two were taken there last night. "There are two capable nurses in charge of the temporary emergency hospital,” he added, “one for the day and one for night. If the need arises, we can procure several others who win volunteer to serve.” POLICE NEWSLETS Police yesterday arrested seven white boys. 14 to 18 years old. for gambling in the rear of a house at Seventeenth street and St. Louis ave nue.

A “full house" on both Saturday and Sunday was held at the Surgical Dressing Rooms in the High School in answer to an appeal for workers to help with an order of 5,000 largo I gauze and cotton pads which must bo finished by next Saturday. The crowd overilowed into the sew ing rooms and the cafeteria, and makeshift work tables were quickly put up. A number of men were pres ent *to help cut thick cotton pads with the "man's-size" shears and in un naling boxes of raw material, and nailing boxes of finished pads. A quantity of work was accom plished and and all those who an swered to roll call promised to come back in the evenings during the week and help complete the order. The rooms will be open every night this week for workers. rOR FALL AFTERNOON WEAf This stunning fall afternoon gown is built of French blue duvetyn and black tricollete.

DAINTY FOX FURS POPULAR Fortunate Purchasers of Last Season Find Their Guesses Were Good as to Style. Moths that of yore luxuriated In fur neckwear have had n distressing season. With one's fa’thful fox aired on all save the hottest days, there was little danger from the little ras cals. Snowy white fox furs undoubt edly take first place, and so there has heen an ever-increasing demand for the henutlful skins, In spite of tho fact of their ever-increasing price. So those women whose la«t sea son's purchase of such a tie has en abled them to follow this season's fash ion most promptly and successfully— and also economically—have much cause to congratulate themselves, for a new purchase would have meant a larger outlay. On the other hand. It must be ad mitted that the purchase of a white fox fur either presupposes the posses sion of another and darker piece, or suggests the advisability of making a second purchase. For. of course, snowy spotlessness Is essentlnl to Its charm, and the suc cess of the wearer's whole toilette, a so-called white fox which shows the slightest sign of soiling or dlnglness being a very sad sight. So either It must be reserved for very special occasions, and costumes, or it must pay frequent visits to the cleaner, who can give It a new lease of life and loveliness. And In the meantime another fox scarf must he available, either one of those beautiful ‘cross’’ varieties, which blend black* and gray, and white, and tawny tints, or else one of the red fox skins, whose almost ornnee tone Is favored alike by blond and brunette, and which Is going to be very much in evidence during the next season. And, in order that the color and contrast of the furs made be made ■till more effective by repetition, some of the newest velours hats have heen dyed to exnctly this same gorgeous red orange shading. And beautiful—and beautifying—things tlfey are. FEW CENTS DESTROYS YOUR DANDRUFF AND STOPS FALLING HAIR Save your hair! Make it thick, wavy and beautiful— try this! Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence of a neglected scalp: of dandruff—that awful scurf. There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair ot its lustre, its strength and Its very life; eventually producing a feverish ness and itching of the scalp, which if not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die—then the hair falls out fast. A little Danderine tonight—now—any time—will surely save your hair. Get a small bottle of Knowlton’s Danderine from any drug store or toilet counter, and after the first appli cation your hair will take on that life, lustre and luxuriance which is so beautiful. It will become wavy and 1 fluffy and have the appearance of I abundance, an incomparable gloss and i softness; but what willv jtlease you most will be after just a rAtr/'jvpeks’ I use, when you will actuaWX-aee.Ji lot ot fine, downy hair—newYM the Illinois State Charitable.
