8 BAKER BACK FROM WAR FRONT WITH DEMANDFORLOAN Tells Country to Go Over Top For Loan as Answer to Germans By Associated Press Washington, Oct. 14.—Secretary Baker returned from the western front yesterday. with the message that the Liberty Loan "must go over the top," whatever the result of peace proposals. This was the only comment the Secretary would make on the peace overtures. His own explanation of his trip shows that it was taken to pave the way for war on a greater scale. Army Doing Its Best "The army has done and is doing all that a proud and grateful coun try could ask," Mr. Baker said on reaching Washington last night, "and the time has come for us to put in every ounce of our strength to assure its complete victory. The peo ple at home have a solemn respon sibility for their share in the final result. "The Liberty Loan must go over the top! Its success is both our tpes sage of gratitude to the boys who are braving war's worst perils in de defense of our liberties and a mes sage to Germany that our people at home are as resolute as our soldiers are brave. "Whatever the result of the peace proposuls the war department must proceed at full speed with men and supplies and the people must support the army until the boys are back with the fruits of victory safe and assured. If every American could have seen our boys in khaki as they stormed the German trenches, as sailed with shrapnel, high explosives, and machine guns he would be eager to subscribe his all to the Liberty Loan." Yank Troops Reach Every Objective in Drive Along Meuse With thr \nierirnn Army A'ortli wet of Verdun, Oct. 14.—"The Amer ican troops on both sides of the Meuse have obtained their objectives," was the official characterization of the Saturday's operations.

He says: "I was miserable. I felt all tired out and run down so that I could hardly drag myself to work." "But as soon as I began taking Tanlac I began to spruce up. I got to feeling better and better and now I am full of pep, I eat hearty and enjoy every bit and 1 am glad to be alive. I'm as different to what I was a little while ago as day is from night and I can truthfully say that this great change was brought about by Tanlac. That's why I urge every body to tuke it."

Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn griy, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just a few applications will prove a reve lation if your hair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get a 50-cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use. This is the old time recipe improved by the addi tion of other ingredients. While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attrac tiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a spronge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after another ap plication or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.

Germany's Note Washington, Oct. 14.—The text of Germany's note as received by official channels here, is: In reply t othe question of the President of the United States of America, the German government hereby declares: The German government hus accepted the terms laid down by President Wilson in his address of January 8, and in his subsequent addresses on the foundation of a permanent peace of justice. Con sequently its object in entering into discussions would be only to agree upon practical details of the application of these terms. The German government believes that the governments of the Powers associated with the government of the United States also take the position taken by President Wilson In his address. The German government, in accordance with the Austro-Hun garian government, for the purpose of bringing about an armistice, declares itself ready to comply with the propositions of the Presi dent in regard to evacuation. The German government suggestV that the President may occa sion the meeting of a miked commission for making the necessary arrangements concerning the evacuation. The pj-esent German government, which has undertaken the re-, sponsibtlity for this step toward peace, has been formed by con ferences and in agreement with the greut majority of the Reich stag. The chancellor, supported In all of his actions by the will of this majority, speaks in the name of the German government and if the German people. SOLF Berlin, Oct. 12, 1918. State Secretary of Foreign Office. UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER, IS CRY (Continued From First Page) troops, contrary to all the practices of war, have been systematically murdered, and civil populations in discriminately massacred, solely to spread terror. A regular system of ingenious terrorism has been direct ed against civilians, as horrible as anything in the history of civil or religious wars. Large and populous cities have been, not once, but twenty, thirty, forty times, bom barded and burned, and the women and children in them wantonly slaughtered, with the sole object of inflicting suffering. All this has been done, not in license or passion, but by the calculating ferocity of scientific soldiers. And lastly, when the last chance of saving Paris was gone, and it became a matter of a few weeks of. famine, they must needs fire and shatter a city of two million souls. " 'Let us remember that all this was done and carried on for five months after France had sued for peace in the dust, and had offered what was practically everything ex cept her national independence and the honor and self-respect of every Frenchman.' Lest We Forget "Yes, let us remember it all, and particularly the last sentence. It is instructive at this time. "There were those at that time who clearly defined the future and warned other countries what might be expected if this dynasty were per mitted to trample upon France and remain contrivers in European af fairs." "Let us understand that the thing with which we have to deal is a liv ing, scheming, powerful human agency, "arbitrary, military, fanati cal," bent upon the destruction of free government, an "armed sys tem" sustained by a social and mili tary hierarchy not to be bound by any treaty and respecting no right, human or divine. • "We do not think the same thoughts or speak the same laiv guage of agreement"—and we can not negotiate or come to terms with such a power, neither can we have any companionship with it. St. Helena still holds her solitary place in the midst of the sea, safe asylum for all those mad with the delusion of world dominion. This is not ven geance, it is not hate, it is not even impartial retribution —it is simply the first step for permanent peace, it is simple justice for the millions of men and women who have sacri ficed and suffered, in the cause of freedom and for the millions who are yet to guard and preserve it. President Taft's Views Ex-PresidentTaft says to-day: "All the plans which our people have been formulating in their minds for the settlement of this war need, for their fulfillment an unconditional surrender. They are calling Ger many to the bar of world justice. Were the present proposal accepted, the criminal convict would-be invit ed not to the dock, but to the coun cil table! "The President is under no obli gation to yield to the proposal be cause of his message of January 8 or because of his last note. The mes sage of January 8 was written to state general objects, and not to de fine stipulations to accomplish these objects. It was written nine months ago. and Germany's conduct since then has placed her outside the pale of negotiation." • . Senator I-odgc Speaks United States Senator Lodge com menting on Germany's answer, says: "Mr. McAdoo and some of the press speak of the German note, if authentic, as a complete surrender. It is nothing of the kind. It is Just the reverse. It is not a surrender and it is highly conditional. If we accept that note it means that Ger many has failed to conquer the world at this moment and that we have lost the war. "Our only assurance for what may be agreed to after weeks of discus sion would be the German word and the German signature—both worth less. The President has said: 'We cannot accept the word of those who forced this war upon us.' The gov ernment of Germany has not changed. The Chancellor has changed. Changing the Chancellor no more changes the German gov ernment than the President chang ing his Secretary of State would change our government. It Is the same government with which the President said, 'We cannot come to terms.' In that statement he was absolutely right." Trying to Holt Defeat The military critic of t.he New York Times concluding a review or the situation, says: "Germany, seeing the processes of destruction at work, begs for time, her petition coming to us in the na ture of a peace proposal. She wants an armistice. Without going further Into the matter, it may be stated that two results will doubtless flow front a cessation of fighting: The tlrst is, that, no matter what may happen, even should we discover at the last moment that the German proposal was but another hoax, another lie, another example of a plighted faith broken, once the lighting Is stopped for any appreciable time the war will be over. It is hardly possible to conceive that, once arms are laid down, they can be taken up again. The heart of the soldier, hlB morale, will be gone. There will no longer be the spirit for fighting of which victorious armies are made. "The second point Is that, if Ger many is granted the time she wants and for which she will do anything, give anything, say anything, prom ise aythlng, she will utilize It In withdrawing her arms, her moun tains of supplies, her urtlllery, her shell, and her men, to 11 much shorter and much more powerful line, a line possibly behind the Meuse, throng! the French and Belgian Ardennes, be fore Met?. and down the Vosges Mountains and there she will stav She will have shortened the battle front over a hundred miles and will be able to hold It with a million less men. Everything that we have done since July 18 will thus be scrapped <*>ur losses will have been for noth ing. "Either we Htialt stop limiting and make a patehed-up peace, or the wa^ ■ will continue for two more years. If I not longer. It may, therefore, be said, as a logical conclusion, that if | we grant an armistice before we are I ready to make peace, a military deci sion will have been averted and we shall have lost the war." BOND BUYERS DENOUNCE SLACKERS (Continued Front First Page) tees which are to comb the city went Ito work to-day. The campaign last jweek was apparently only half j thorough cursory In its thorough ness. Many homes were missed. Many | men of means were permitted to rush to banks, buy a $5O bond, get | a flag and button and a reputation I for being "real." Banks Ask For Information I The banks of the city are to be j asked for complete details as to sub scriptions.

He bought a $l,OOO bond and paid for it in cold cash. Enola Has Plncli Hitters ! Foreman H.. G. Hassler, of Enola reports the formation of "The Pinch Club," composed of workmen who are going to bat again for the Liberty Loan. All of the "pinch hitters" have already bought bonds, but so that the district will not fall down they are buying again. This is in direct contrast to tlic unpatriotic action of thousands ol' people in the district who refuse to buy bonds even once. "Pro-German Stuff" There were reports to-day that some Harrisburg people have re- ! (used to buy bonds "because peace is near." This thought is declared ! ridiculous by men close to the heart ' of things. "Peace can't possibly come before late next summer," said one of the executive committee, "and in the meantime this $6,000,000,000 has al ready been spent—so what's the use of talking.*' "Devil" in Bad Company Many congratulations were tender ied John A. Marshall representing the Harrisburg district of the Baltimore iLife Insurance Company for his suc 'c-ess in having assigned to the local drive $30,000 of the company's loan purchase, in writing to Mr. Marshal concerning the matter the president of the company, W. O. Mac Gill said: "We want to do our share to drive the devil out of the Hun as the devil has no business associating in such bad company." At the Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bending works are many foreign born employes among others former citizens of Austria, Bulgaria and other countries in the war. In the present drive several of these men have shown their loyalty to their adopted country by making large subscriptions to the loan. Among these is one Austrian, a naturalized American who subscribed $2,000, one Bulgarian, $1,500, and one Armen ian $2,200. These subscriptions rep resent the savings of these men for the last two or three years. Not Pneumonia, but Pneumonic Plague, Physicians Declare Philadelphia, Oct. 14.—Physicians of the highest repute, confident that the hundreds of deaths attributed to pneumonia within the period of the recent epidemic, have been caused by a strange disease which Is not a true type of pneumonia, are conducting exhaustive Investigations, not only in Philadelphia, but in every large city in the East. There is a theory that the disease is the pneumonic plague, which rav aged Manchuria and the East, five years ago, but this has not been veri fied officially. It Is, however, defi nitely known—according to Surgeon General Rupert Blue, of the United States Health Service—that the epi demic came out of the East, with Rus sia and Germany the first of the European countries to be ravaged. The peculiar conditions which have followed death have emphasized the impression that death is due to some thing other than true pneumonia. does wonders for sick skins A skin that is rough, reddened, Resinol Ointment contains medic blotched or disfigured by eczema, sore inal agents that act directly upon the spots, or other eruptions, needs at- skin, heal its hurts and help it to keep tention. . healthy and attractive.

Latest estimates place the death list at close to one thousand, al though no official figures were avail able eauiy to-day. Hundreds of per sons are more or less seriously burn ed, thousands destitute and home less and the property loss will run into many millions of dollars. At least a dozen cities and towns were destroyed. The worst blazes were at Moose Lake, Kettle river and Cloquet. In Moose Lake and imme diate vicinity, it is estimated more than three hundred, persons perish ed in the flames. Between 300 and 400 coffins have been ordered sent to this town alone. Twelve thousand homeless and penniless refugees, all in need, more or less, of medical attention, are quartered in hospitals, churches, schools, private homes and in the armory here, while doctors and nurses sent from surrounding com munities attend them, and nearly every able-bodied man in the city has been conscripted to fight the flames which now are reported to be dying away. Reports that the holocaust result ed from the working of enemy agents were circulated here last night. Definite confirmation was not available but incendi&ries were driven away from a local ship yard when the fires in Duluth and Su perior were burning at their height, according to F. J. Longren, fire mar shal, and other city and state offi cials. Reports reaching here by courier told of widespread destruction, but it was evident that in most cases the fury of the flames was spent. Du luth and Superior are In no further danger. Virginia Is safe and Brain erd was untouched. However peat bog fires now are said to menace the later city. Bermldji reported only a small loss. Greatest loss of life and property damage is believed to have occurred in the Cloquet region where a num ber of town., have been destroyed and all semi-rural settlements vir tually wiped out. A special train of twenty coaches brought 1,500 refugees from Cloquet and Clarleton. They confirmed re ports that many persons lost their lives in those towns. Cloquet was a town with about 7,500 population. More than 4,700 persons were brought to Duluth and Superior from there alone.

Little change I was made in the line, but the Ger ! mans late last night laid down bar- I rages that were preparatory to counterattacks of a small but vicious i character. The most determined effort made by the enemy was on the left, across the river Aire between St. Juvin and St. Georges. The Germans advanced in open order and fought with a steadiness that indicated fresh troops. "Within an hour, however, the American artillery, supporting the line of infantry with machine guns, had brought the little offen sive to a halt. No Restriction Is Placed on Heating of Home A letter from State Fuel Adminis trator William Potter to the local fuel administration made public last evening: removes apprehension on the part, of householders regarding their future coal supply. The letter follows: The State Fuel Administrator has made no restrictions whatsoever as to when furnaces shall be started in residences, apartment houses, or any buildings housing people. This Is L , . t0 the judgment of each house holder, and covers also the opera tion of steam heating plants in va rious communities supplying domes tic consumers. "In order to calm the apprehen sion that domestic coal now allotted, on the basis of last year with its ter rible winter, may not take the house holder through this year ending March 31 next, owing to the early starting of fires Incident to the in fluenza epidemic, this administration is confident that every careful do mestic consumer in Pennsylvania, who has practiced economy and conservation of fuel, will be provid ed with sufficient coal to keep the home fires burning. "We make this statement because, first—there is no scarcity of bitu minous coal; second—we are assur ed by the Anthracite Committee of the U. S. Fuel Administration, com posed of the greatest experts in this indi|stry (Mr. J. B. Dickson, chair man of Dickson & Eddy, New York; W. J. Richards, president of Phila delphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company; S. D. Warriner, president of Lehigh Coal and Navigation Com pany), that the allotment of an thracite asked for by me will be given to this state to take care of all the domestic needs of Its peo ple." Ross A, Hlckok, county fuel ad ministrator, has'issued the follow ing list of prices regarding the sale or delivery of anthracite coal in less than 100 pound lots. Mr. Hickok's order further states that any dealers carrying on a business of selling coal in less than 100 pound lots must re ceive proper authority from the Dauphin couty fuel administration. The prices are as follows: Nut coal, 75 pounds ...$0.50 Nut coal, 37% pounds 30 Nut coal, 18% pounds 20 Pea coal, 75 pounds 45 Pea coal, 37% pounds 25 Pea coal, 18% pounds 18 I A Stern Task For Stern Women j % <5 There is everything to inspire coolness and courage and sacrifice on the part of American f women.

His September Declaration . In his speech of Sept. 27, at the Metropolitan Operahouse, in this city, the President set forth these prin ciples as "representing" this govern ment's interpretation of its own duty with regard to peace: First—The impartial justice meted out must involve no discrimination between those to whom we wish to be just and those to whom we do not wish to be just. It must be a Justice that plays no favorites and knows no standard but the equal rights of the several peoples concerned; Second—No special or separate in terest of any single nation or any group of nations can be made the basis of any part of the settlement which is not consistent with the com mon interest of all; Third—There can be no leagues or alliance or special covenants and understandings within the general and common family by the League of Nations; Fourth, and more specifically— There can be no special, selfish eco nomic combinations within the league and no employment of any form of economic boycott or exclusion except as the power of economic penalty by exclusion from the markets of the world may be vested in the League of Nations itself as a means of disci- j pline and control; Fifth—All international agreements and treaties of every kind must be made known in their entirety to the rest of the world. r -n Fnueral Flowers SPECIAL A Beautiful Sprny 08c A Handsome Wreath $3.08 KEENEY'S TWO FLOWER SHOPS ! 814 N.
