.PARIS, Sept. 30. The appeal for
funds to complete the war activities
of the V. M. C. A. is no longer based
on speculation or doubt. x
The work the association is doing
on this side of the ocean is new, un
ique and far-reaching. It lstakinji
life as it finds it in a cuntry stricken
by war, and. by big-hairted servlee.
wherever it can lend a hand, is car
rylns out the Instructions of the El
der Brother of the human race In a
manner hitherto unprecedented.
The time so o'ten consumed In por
traying a terrible hell, or alluring
heaven, or Imploring human beings
to verbal professions and confessions
mnro nr loaa Riinprtnduced and ttiean-
jinglwss, is given to service wblcn
carries its- own proor 01 emciency
and sincerity and immediately wins
wide acceptance and eo-operaton.
Take men bv the hundreds from a
well-established routine of life and
remove them to a foreign land, rent
and torn by war. Is almost certain
to surround them with nardsnips
that wilt try the mettle or the best
but the number who are proving uo
equal to the test Is so small as mere
ly to establish the logical exceptions
to almost any given rule. .
Thoughtful men and women nere
are not giving valuable time to con
federation of rivalry .or conservation
of results in behalf of the Y. M. C.
A; or any other movement, organi
zation merely provides tne maenm-
ery for practical operation and the
V. M. C. A. has so signally servea
without thought or suggestion of
elfish or sectarian motives, as to
have made Its name a token of af
fection among war-worn men of ev
erv faith.
The writer served jm a troop-ship
where the two Y. JL C. A. seeretar
les were unaccompanied by army
chaplains or representatives of any
other religious body. Our supplies
contained literature for Catholic
Jew and Protestant, while our sever
al hundreds of books and other ex
tensive equipment were enjoyed
alike by all. - ,
It is my belief that the world needs
and cries out today for Just such
examples of service for all kinds of
needy men and the response of the
Y. M. C. A. in this crisis should find
generous support among thoughtful
people everywhere.
OFFICIAL TEXT OF
LAST GERMAN NOTE
(Continued from page 1)
has caused orders to be dispatched
to all submarine commanders pre
cluding the torpedoing of passenger
ships, without, however, for teebni
cal reasons, being able to guarantee
that these orders will reach every
single subraatlne at sea before its
return.
"As the fundamental conditions
for peace, the president characterizes
the destruction of every arbitrary
power that can separately, secretly
and of its own choice disturb the
peace of the world. To this the
German government replies: Hith
eito the representation of the people
in the German empire has pot been
endowed with an influence on the
formation' of the government, The
constitution did not proviJefor a
concurrence of the representative of
the people in decision on peace and
war. These conditions have just
now undergone a fundamental
change. The new government has
been formed in complete accord with
the wishes of the representation of
the people, based on the equal, uni
versal, secret, direct franchise. The
leaders of the great parties of the
reichstrg are members of this gov
ernment. In future no govern
ment can take or continue - In
government can take or continue, in
office without possessing the confi
dence of the majority of the reich
stag The responsibility of the chan
cellor of the empire to the repre
sentation of the people is being leg
ally developed and safeguarded. The
first act of the new government has
been to lay before the reichstag a
bilt to alter the constitutiCn of the
empire so that the consent of the
representation of the people is re
quired for decisions on war and
peace. The pertnanence of the new
system is. however, guaranteed not
only by -constitutional safeguards,
but also by the unahakeable deter
mination of the German, people,
whose vast majority stands behind
these -reforms and demands their
energetic continuance.
"The question of the president,
with whom he and the governments
associated against Germany are
dealing, is therefore answered In a
clear and unequivocal manner by
the statement that the offer of peace
and an armistice has come from a
government which, free from arbi
trary and Irresponsible Influence, is
supported- by the approval of the
overwhelming majority of the Ger
man people

9 o'clock tonight. Just eleven hours
after the official text of the last Ger
man communication had been de
livered by Frederick Oederlein, the

During the afternoon it had been
etated authoritatively that there
would be no announcement ot the
president's decision before tomorrow
and the understanding was that the
exchanges between Washington, Lon
don and Paris still were proceeding.
About midday there was a flurry ot
interest when Secretaries Lansing
and Daniels and General March,
chief of staff, were called to the
white house, but If the decision was
commnnicated then these officials
kept the secret well. '
It was late Jn the evening when
word that Secretary Lansing would
see newspapermen at 9 o'clock fol

Lansing and Mr. Tumulty.

people of the allied countries will be
