BERLIN WARMS UP
AS REPLY TO THE
U. S. IS DRAFTED
Dispatches Indicate Germany
Will Try to Continue Con
versation With America
By Associated Press
Berne, Oct. 18.—Germany's reply
to President Wilson's latest com
munication was expected to be
drawn up and dispatched to Wash
ington last night, according to the
latest advices received here from
Berlin.
The semiofficial newspapers In
Germany indicate that It Is certain
that Germany in the note will seek
to continue the conversation.
Advices . received from Berlin art
to the effect that there is great ac
tivity in political circles in view of
the German reply to the note. It is
understood the note is not a com
plete refusal of President Wilson's
demands.
Field Marshal von Hindenburg
was expected Berlin yester<4gy.
Washington, Oct. 18. —Germany is
I beaten. The victories won by the
ihard lighting of the Allied armies
has produced demoralization not
alone in the German war forces, but
in the machinery of civil govern
ment. ,
The next German note to Presi
dent Wilson is expected to be a plea
for concession to the German people.
In the meantime revolutionary
changes in the governments of both
Germany and Austria are under wuy
to make it possible for these nations
to plead for consideration for the
German and Austrian peoples, re
gardless of the crimes committed by
the war lords of the two countries.
It is no longer possible to regard
the German peace overtures as mere
subterfuges. The best informed au
thorities of the government are con
vinced that Germany desires peace
upon any terms that will leuve the
German people free to continue their
national existence under their own
government.
Kaiser's Abdication Kxpeeled
The abdication of the emperor as
a voluntary act to avert threatened
revolution is seriously expected.
The change in the German consti
tution which takes away-from the
kaiser the war and peace making
powers is a step in the direction of
abdication.
Boy Scouts Have Sold
Bonds Worth $64;600
Scout Headquarters still teems with
excitement and Industry on the re
sults as the bond drive. Up to noon
to-day the boys had- secured 946 sub
scriptions for a total of 564,000.
The leaders in the triangular race
for supremacy have changed posi
tions. but the figures vary from hour
to hour as the trio dash around the
city in search of the prospective buy
er. Just now the record stands as
follows:
Ralph I>. Huston. 30 sales for
51,800.
Donald Royal. 29 sales for 52.500.
Karl Mocsleln, 28 sales for 51,550.
As the race Is not over until to
morrow noon and each of the leaders
declares he will not take anything
but first place. The final result
be interesting.
So far there are 7 scouts who have
sold 20 or more bonds and 42 who
have sold 10 or more. This means
that by to-morrow there will be at
least 60 scouts who will have won the
coveted Treasury Department medal
for the sale of ten or more bonds.
