logne Gazette, referring to the wig
treated evacuation of German oc
cupied territories, crlves testimony
as to what such action means to
Oermany. The newspaper s-irn:
"What are Siegfried position nnd
towns and villages? The main
thlnir is that the German front
maintain continuity. Even though,
conlUlmr In President Wilson's lovo
of peace, we consent to the evacu
ation of occupied regions, then our
haltle-nreparcd army, our Intact
fleet and our strong; nation at home
guarantee that the aerman people
cannot be forced Into unconditional
surrender."
Oieeefce' a, asra we are eowefweNi twee ne)
will now communicate with hi Alttes -'
nnd ask them to conclude sn armistice
ant to send representatives for peace
negotiations. The great question Is what .
will London, Par's and Home answer," '
The paper adds thnt the eighth and
thirteenth Wilson point are Ihe et
Important of all, and that It I now evi
dent that the questions of Ataace-Lor
ralne and Poland will havs to be settled
by the application of Wilson's principles.
The moot Important part at present,"
II adds, "Is evacuation. We were pre
pared for n conciliatory attitude, but not
for unconditional evacuation. We believ
ed the assurances would be demanded
that the Rntente troops would not enter
Belgium after the evacuation nnd that.
Belgium would remain neutral. If the(
peace negotiations should collapse. We
must hope thnt these conditions, which
appear necessary for the protection of
the fatherland, will be demanded In the
mixed rommlaalon which is suggested In
the note of Wilson."
The paper pretends that thla Is to
avoid the possibility of poor Belgium
belag fought over for a second time.
their fate Is- In Wllaon-a hands, that with
the' coming negotiations a number of
.problems will bo discussed which are
very painful for aermsn patriots who
have not considered them as problems
until recently, but as facts.
"Without doubt the Alsace-I,orralne
question has been maiM an International
question by negotiations on Wilson's
points," Berphard proceeda. "It has now
panned the viewpoint of autonomy to
which Prince Max held In hla last
Reichstag Kpeech, to say, nothing of
Kuehlmann'n 'never.' It cannot be de
nied that by unconditional recognition of
Wilson's points, International discussion
on precious parts of the Prussian mon
archy muat be admitted, although not
necesaaflly definitely settled. But even
the Idea that these questions become In
ternational la painful to a degree."
Lokal Aaselger "Shakes"
The Lakal Anaelger says no German
can read the answer to Wilson without
being shaken to the depths of his soul.
Germany declares herself ready for
peace after four years nt suffering, flhe
will have to suffer long, however, the
conference turns out, hut the most pain
ful thing of all Is that Imperial territory
s to be Internationally discussed. The
paper says that responsibility for the
note and Its consequneces fall on mnny
shoutders. but firstly on the new Gov
ernment, and that the wfsh to end the
war before all Europe Is destroyed con
tributed to the desire for peace.
"One ndvantage," says the Lokal An
xelger, "la that the note la perfectly
clear and cannot he misunderstood, WU-

Skilled Making Improves
Even the Finest Cigars
The solid, enjoyment you get from an El Producto is
due to two things
Fint the subtle blending of the finest Havana
tobaccos.
Second skilled ' craftsmanship in rolling the
blended tobaccos and wrapping them in choice
shade-grown leaf.
'THAT smooth, even character of El Producto is no
accident. You'll find it in every size and shape you
smoke, Many and many a sjnoker prefers El Producto,
at 10 cents straight to 2 for 25c, to cigars of double
the price.
There's genuine satisfaction in
repeatedly enjoying the same fine
character in the cigar you smoke.
And, invariably, you'll notice that
El Producto lives up to all its
promises.
