Fire Destroys Section of Newport Tanning Works Newport,' Pa., Oct. 14.—A tire which for a time threatened to spread beyond control of the local fire-fighting forces and caused the town council to call upon the Friendship Fire Company of Har risburg to send aid. about 10.30 o'clock this morning began in the dressing room of the liquor cooling building of the Elk Tanning Com pany and completely destroyed the building.

I got to feeling better and better and now I am full of pep. 1 eat hearty -and enjoy every bit and I am gladto be alive. I'm as different to what I was a little while ago as day is front night and I can truthfully say that this great change was brought about by Tanlac. That's why I urge every body to take it."

' - Text of 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 tho United States of America, the German government hereby declares: The German government has accepted the terms laid down by President Wilson in his address of January 8. and in liis 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 suggests that the President may occa sion the meeting of a mixed commission for making the necessary arrangements concerning the evacuation. The present German government, which has undertaken the re sponsibility for this step toward peace, has been formed by con ferences and in agreement with the great 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 )f 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 I religious wars. Darge 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 j tire and shatter a city of two I million souls. I " 'Let us remember that all this [ was done and carried on for live I months after France had sued for | peace in the dust, and had offered i what was practically everything ex cept her national independence and i the honor and self-respect of every | Frenchman.' Lost Wo Forgot "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 somal 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 lan guage of agreement"—and we can not negotiate or come to terms with such a power, neither can we have anv 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. l*rcsident Tart's Views Ex-PresidentTaft says to-day: 'All the nlans which our people have been" formulating in their minds for the settlement of this war need for their fultlllment an unconditional surrender. They are calling Ger rnanv 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 S 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 Lodge Speaks United States Senator Lodge com menting on Germany's answer, says: "Mr. McAdoo and some of the press speak of the German note, .f 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 Halt Defeat The military critic of the New; York Times concluding a review of the situation, says: "Germanv. 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 from a (essation of lighting: The first 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 fighting 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, his 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 (tnany is granted the time she wants and for which she will do anything. flive anything, say anything, prom se aything, she will utilize it in withdrawing her arms, her moun tains of supplies, her artillery, her shell, and her men. to a much shorter and much more powerful line, a line possibly behind the Meiise, through the French and Belgian Ardennes, be fore Metz and down the Vosges Mountains, and there she will stay. 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 donr since July 18 will thus be scrapped Our losses will have been for noth ing. •Either we shall atop fighting atid make a patched-up peace, or the war j will continue for two more years, if not longer. It may, therefore, be said, as a logical conclusion, that if I we grant an armistice before we are j ready to make peace, a military deci sion will have been averted and we shall have lost t v e war." BOND BUYERS DENOUNCE SLACKERS (Continued From First Page) itees which are to comb the city went |to work to-day. The campaign last jweek was apparently only half- | thorough cursory in its thorough ness. Many homes were missed. Many (men of means were permitted to Jrush to banks, buy a $5O bond, get 'a flag and button and a reputation 'for being "real." Ilnnks Ask For Information I The hanks of the city are to be jasked for complete details as to sub scriptions.

All of the I "pinch hitters" have already bought 'bonds, but so tiiat the district will !not fall down they are buying again. This Is in direct contrast to the unpatriotic action of tlioir-amls ol° people in the district who refuse to buy bonds even once. "Pro-German stuff" I There were reports to-day that (some Harrisburg people have re fused to buy bonds "because peace lis 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 Hail Comiiany Many! congratulations were tender ed John A.

In writing to Mr. Marshal 'concerning the matter the president lof the company, YV. O. Mac Gill said: j " "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 I 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 \he 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.

RISSUR( i TTLEGRAPH 1,000 PERISH IN BIG FOREST FIRE OVER TWO STATES Huge Paths of Flames Sweep Over Wisconsin and Min nesota Timberland By Associated Press . Dulutti, Oct. 14.—A large section 1 of Northeastern Minnesota —three days ago a busy and prosperous busi ness and farming country—to-day was a smouldering ruins with hun dreds of bodies of men. women and children, many of them burned be yond recognition, strewn about the countryside, as the result of the disastrous forest fires which swept this territory Saturday and Sun ; day. Latest estimates place the death 1 list at close to one thousand, al though no official figures were avail able early 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 front 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 front the working of enemy agents were circulated here last night. Definite confirmation was not available but incendiaries were driven away from a local ship yard when the fires in Dulutli 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. Bermidji 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 i 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. The list of dead will not be defi nitely compiled for days, perhaps weeks. Hundreds of panic-stricken people have gathered about the nu merous lakes in the burned area, and those reported missing may be among them. The town of Twig, on the Miller Trunk road, was wiped out. Other towns reported as being en tirely destroyed ipclude Rice Lake, Brookston, Brevator, Corona, Adolph, Thompson, Arnold, Moose Lake and Wright. There is no community within a radius of thirty miles which has not sustained more or less damage and each has Its quota of dead and in jured.

GERMAN ATTACK FUTILE AGAINST AMERICAN FIRE Artillery Supports Infantry, Bringing Small Hun Of fensive to Halt With the American Forces North west of Verdun, Oct. 14—Violent artillery actions were in progress to-day along the greater part of the American front. Little change was made in the line, but the Ger mans late last night laid down bar rages that were preparatory to counterattacks of a small but vicious character. The most determined effort made by the enemy was on the left, across the river Aire between St. Juvin and i St. Georges. The Germans advanced tin open order and fought with a steadiness that indicated fresh | troops. Within an hour, however, | the American artillery, supporting Ithe line of infantry with machine I guns, had brought the little offen sive to a halt. Huns Anxious, Says Viscount Northcliffe l.oiiiluii, Oct. 14.—"The speed of the ! German reply is indicative of the J anxiety the Germans feel for the j safety of their rapidly retreating ! army," said Viscount Northcliffe to an j Associated Tress representative last j night. "You will remember, at ,the time they were being questioned about the Lusitania, they played for delay, delay, . delay," he continued. "Now they are fighting to gain days, even hours. As 1 read their reply, it is neither candid or straightforward. It consists of evasions. These evasions are made for the purpose of unbal ancing the minds of simple folks in Allied countries and for the purpose of convincing the discontented sec tion of the German people that the Allies will not accept what is de clared by them to look like a reason able offer or peace. "The character of the answer shows the atmosphere of equivocation in which the German government lives and moves. Germany, in fact only •declares" ready to comply. She does not comply. she has not accepted the President's terms. She only says -—untruly—that those terms have been accepted. "If we grant an armistice we shall be providing material for a great pro longation of the war. If we leave the matter to Marshal Foch he will end the war. Bulgaria is out. Tur key is going out. Austria-Hungary is very near a revolution. "The combined efforts cf Ameri cans. associated with the armies of France, Great Britain, Italy and Bel gium. will end this struggle, and put a stop .to any possible recrudescence of the war." 150 Are Killed by Porto Rican 'Quake; Damage Is Severe San Joan.
