received bv virolcss is roirunlcd hero
as nu tiwkwtml jittompt to Decent tlie
terms of an urmistiec laid down bv

be certain that tlie wireless version is
ihTble! To" n u extent, and officials
will await tlie arrival of the official
text before renrhinir conclusions.
In the meantime there will bo no
official comment. Kven unofficially
no one will express itn opinion of
what ,llie president will think of the
note, thflnuh the uencral impression
seems to be that (but least ones not
close the door lo farther exchanges.1
I'pon the exact Iiiiumuilm of the of
ficial text iiiiiv depend whether the'
president will consent to propose an
armistice to tho allied powers. Me
nials of the Hermans that atrocities
have been committed are iimnaterfal,
tho important tliiiiu' is that atrocities
now apparently bavo been ordered
stopped.
As to negotiations for a perma
nent peace with the German Bovcrn
menl oh now constituted, that is a
epiestion quite nsido from a cessa
tion of hostilities under conditions
impocd by the jilliivl eoimnniUcrs

"The responsibility of the chancellor of the empire to the representation

NORTHWEST OP VERDUN, Oct. 21.
(By Associated PreB.) American
aviators hy inaugurating night pa
trols along the Meuse have attracted
much attention amoiiB the airmen
ot other nations. Under the present
plan the air forces are always sub
ject to a call from the front, whe
observers or listeners report by wiro
when the motor of a German air
plane Is heard approaching tho
American lines.
As soon as one of these forces Is
heard the American searchlights be
gin swoeping the Bky. The American
night patrols arrive at the same time.
In event the German machine Is lo
cated by the rays of a searchlight
the American machines attack until
the enemy Is downed or makes his
escape.
On Friday night when the system
was Inaugurated, five aviators start
ed seeking any German machine that
might be about. When an American
searchlight picks up an American
machine a pre-arranged signal is
given, eliminating danger that tho
American might be shot down by hla
own men
