KAISER PLAYS TO SAVE SKIN Paris, Oct. 7.—The request for an armistice and the opening of peace parleys by the Central Powers is looked upon by the French press generally as an at tempt to evade certain disaster. It is declared Germany hopes to conclude a peace which will per mit her to exploit the peace treaties of Brest-Litovsk and Bucharest, and also save the , Hohenzollern dynasty. An armistice under the present conditions, the papers think, is impossible. The conditions ex pressed by the new German chan cellor do not correspond with the conditions for peace laid down by President Wilson. J John R. Iteinhart, Allentown. Earl F. Rishell, Alexandria.

Plenty of people have money to lend the government.
