LADY, SLARS FACE OF
If anyone Is glad because the war
la making them money It evidently
Is not safe to say so In public, ac--cording
to an Incident which Is relat
ed as recently having happened on
an Incoming train on the Coos Ray
line.
A well dressed man on the train
made the roniark that he did not
care how long the war lasted as It
was making him money vcry day.
He did not specify Just how the war
waa profitable to him or In what
business he was engaged, but that
did not make any difference.
His statement was overheard by a
lady In the coach. She stopped up
to him and slapped him on one side
of his face.
' "That is for my boy at Camp
'Lewis," said the Udy. Then she
glappod tho man on the other side
of tho fuce and said:
"That In tor my son who Is serv
ing In France."
The Incident created much amuse
ment on the part of others, on the
train who witnessed the proceeding
and who were also harboring a reel
ing of disgust ut the man who gloat
ed over his war profits.
The sltuntlnn became so embar
rassing for the man that he got oft
at the next station. No one seemed
to be able to Identify him. Coos
nay Harbor.

Spare Private Property, and. Protect Gvilians
Washington! Oct ;' 21. Senator
Poindexter has Introduced a' joint
resolution ' proposing that congress
forbid further negotiations with Ger
many, until the German military
rorces surrender unconditionally.
Washington, Oct. 21. -Germany's
reply is regarded her- as an awk
ward attempt to accept President
Wilson's terms for ' an armistice.
However, It la believed that the wire
less version ' Is somewhat garbled,
and the official text Is awaited.
The general Impression seems to
be that the German reply does not
close the door to future exchangee.
The German denial that atrocities
have been committed are Immaterial.
The Important thing Is that the
atrocities have now apparently been
ordered stopped. -
The question of negotiations for a
permanent peace is quite aside from
the cessation of hostilities under the
condition Imposed by the allied com
mander In the field. Before enter
ing such negotiations the allies must
be satisfied that the German war
lords are powerless to remain In con
trol. If not actually out of control.
London, Oct. 21. The German re
ply to President Wilson's note haa
been reoelved. Germany has order
ed the submarine commanders to
cease torpedoing passenger ships,
but denies any Illegal or inhuman
acta. Germany hopes the United
States will approve of no demand
that will be irreconcilable with the
honor of the German ' people, nor
with the opening of a way to a peace
of justice.
Germany protests against the ref
erence of President 'Wilson to Illegal
acts, and denies that the German
navy purposely destroyed lifeboats
with passengers. She proposes that
the facts be cleared up by neutral
commissions.
The German government suggests
TWO AMERICAN DIVISIONS HURL HUNS
BACK WITH THE
With the American -Forces North
of Itheims, Oct. 1C, Wednesday.
Perhaps the most glorious page in
Anvtrlcan military history in this
war has Just been concluded in the
Champagne battle, la which two di
visions of United States troops the
Second and the 36th have, done I
the inadequately heralded part of
forcing back the Germau hordes
facing the famous city of 'Rhcims. '
The work of the Americans was
more notable because one of the
American divisions the 36th en
tered the terrific battle at an Import
ant point. Although new to fight
ing and without ever having heard
shelltlre before, the division with
stood tho most bitter German coun
ter attacks without flinching. The
effort of the two units were praised
publicly In an order issued by Gen
eral Naul, In command of the 21st
French Army corps, with which the
Americans were brigaded. The Gen
eral said:
"On October 8 the Second Ameri
can division, having arrived during
the night In the sector of the 21st
Army corps, attacked the fortified
crest of Blanc . Mont and captured It
lit a few hours despite the desperate

sanction of international law ' for
carrying out the destruction of pro

troops are under , strict, instruction
to spare private property and to care
for, the population to the best of
their ability; - that where transgres
sions occur the guilty should be pun
ished. :- " ": '- ' - ."
" The note says that no future Ger
maff government will be able to ttke
or hold office unless they possess the
confidence of the' majority of the
reienstag. Cermany agrees that
the conditions of an armistice should
be left to the military advisers and
the actual standard of 4 power on
both sides of the field ahould form
the basis for all arrangements.
Paris, Oct. 20. The German re

"The 36th Division, a recent for

ganized, was ordered Into the line
on the night of October 6-7 to re

With the Allied Armies In France

German retreat will carry the enemy

Guns from the Belgian coast are

but at the moment It Is not certain
whether they have gone beyond that
city. Air material haa been" trans
ferred from Ghent to Brussels.
Forty bridge have been thrown
across the Mouse In the neighbor
hood of Huy, southwest of Liege, and
the source from wtolch this Informa
tion Is derived says that these are in
preparation for the retreat of the
Germans behind their own frontier.
The country from which the Ger
mans are withdrawing offers ' strik
ing proof of German brutality and
destructlveneas. When they retired
from a town the civilians were in
formed that they need have no fear
of remaining there, as : the" town'
would not be shelled Oh this prom
ise many civilians remained, but the
Germans dropped numerous shells
Into the place and several civilians,
among them women, were wounded.
This crime has been added to those
already chalked up against the Ger
mans by the British army.
Preliminary reconnaissances in
vast stretches of recaptured terri
tory show that in addition to the
destruction of ' military establish
ments the Germans before departing
demolished every factory and all
mines. In many houses the Ger
mans placed "booby traps" and In
fernal machines, which apparently
were designed as much for civilians
as for soldiers.
