WHEN TURKEY HAS
; ; SURRENDERED.
! i Before Germany's reply to America
i Is received we may get a direct query
i from Constantinople, asking for conch-
! tions and even offering to surrender
i , ! on the terms given Bulgaria.
r I Turkev must get out of the war
',; ; within the next thirty days or be sub-
! ; jeeted to heavy pressure. Though the
f ! Turks have been reduced to a condi
Uon of feebleness, they are capable of
f J' holding up a large British force which.
, ! if released, could be of great service
! elsewhere.
V- With Turkey, as well as Bulgaria.
ii !, 0ut of the fighting, half a million men
l would be available for a drive on Aus-
tro-Hungary from the Danube a r
h through Rumania. At this critical
time in the affairs of the central cm-
P Pircs, the enemy could not spare
ffl t troops to meet this now attack.

Hi AS TO THE COMING j
armistice. !
What form of an armistice will be
declared, if the Germans meet the re-
L j quiroments of President Wilson?
' That is one of the big problems to
$ i be solved by the allies.
P Will the enemy be allowed to enclr-
! ' cle Germany with a Hlndenburg line,
while terms are discussed, or will
' there be a complete cessation of all
V t military work?
P Will the Krupp plant at Essen be
5 closed?
Will the sending of American troops
I ,i to France proceed without interrup-
"I Uon?
J The submarines, of course, will not
t j be allowed to operate.
I Provisions of all kind, may be sent
' f across the ocean without restraint
! j But, with a long drawn out armis-
;j ticc ,the burden of our big war raa-
f chine would be a serious load for us
fj to carry, calling for billions of dol-

HI REDUCE THE MENACE TO
A MINIMUM.
J V An answer to President Wilson's
j question, "Who do you represent?" Is
, jf said to have been handed by Maxl
'j. I milian to the Swiss government to be
! transmitted to Washington,
r I Berne, Basel and Copenhagen report
j u' that the reply is a virtual acceptance
jj ot president Wilson's fourteen de
li: I j! mands, including the evacuation of oc
j i i cupied territory. If that is true, the
L , allies are facing the most dangerous
j J '1 period In the whole war.
i j,. When the German troops get oacK
! "'f; on their own territory, then will come
i ' a period of negotiations, during which
I the. Germans may court the Americans
!' and attempt to Ignore the French and
British for the purpose of stirring up
jealousies. They also will prolong the
j ,' pourparlers to the limit, knowing that
; 'j time will help to lessen the bitterness
ft '' ot tho struggle and make the soldiers
j l restless In their impatience to get j
'r. 1 1: home again. As a result a compromise J
4 'u peace may be obtained, and Germany,
ten years from now, will be swagger-
J')( ing once more, and playing for an
j'j.t opening by which to gain an advan-
M tago over her enemies.

for the war lords of that country to at
tack any one of the nations now com
prising tho forces known as the al
lies. Tho present unity of action of
France, Great Britain, Italy, and Amer
ica cannot be expected to be a perma
nent understanding or even an ap
proach to an alliance. Even during
the war, there is no treaty obligation
or agreement looking to an alliance,
so far as America is concerned. The
allies aro loosely held together under
the stress of war, and once peace is
declared, America will drift away

consideration in writing the terms of.

Germany must be reduced in mili

having a standing-' army or a training
period for her young men. Army ma
neuvers must be done away with, and
the Krupp works dismantled. Powder
manufacturing plants must be de
stroyed. The German navy must be
turned over to the allies. Bavaria and
other divisions of tho empire should

WHAT THE TERMS
WILL BE.
Reviewing the proposals from the
central powers, the New York World
says the appeal for a conference is a
confession of defeat.
"It has taken the Imperial German
government more than four years,"
says the World, "to learn that it is
easier to begin a war than to end It.
When it staged the conflict such a
thing as defeat was' not considered.
Now it finds its armies overmastered,
its subjects at home sullen or revo
lutionary, its allies beaten or disheart
ened and tho vase delusion that it
could not be conquered everlastingly
shattered. To save what it can from
the wreck, to preserve the dynasty, to
restore as far as possible the lost pres
tige of militarism and to prepare for
another day what further motive can
have inspired It and Its Austrian vas
sal in renewing so soon and in phrases
so "little changed a proposal for a ne
gotiated peace?
"The answer to this question, wc
believe, Is that autocracy is whipped
and knows it is whipped, and that
presently it will be compelled to ac
knowledge the facL Autocracy knows
that it cannot hold its lines in France
and Belgium; it knows that it cannot
hold the great provinces of which Rus
sia was treacherously deprived; it
knows that it cannot hold Its allies,
and it knows that at home as well as .
abroad sentence is presently to be
passed upon it by the one tribunal for j
which it entertains any respect, and i
that is force. Knowing these things,
autocracy will be' heard from again
and again with increasing humility,
no doubt, before its guilt and failure
admitted it finally sues for terms.
"When that hour strikes, all pre
tenses will have been stripped away.
There will Ce no hallucination any
where in Germany that autocracy is to
have the power to bargain for a peace
graciously bestowed by autocracy.
There will be no toleration anywhere
in Austria-Hungary, the blood-guilty
instrument of militarism, for the stale
mcnt appearing in its note now at
hand that ItTias been fighting 'only a
defensive war.' The peace to come,
whether near or remote, will not be
grounded upon German boasts and in
sincerities or Austro-Hungarian dupli
cities and falsehoods. "On the accept
ance of that truth in Berlin and Vien
na tho course and the duration of the
war must depend."
THE INFLUENZA IN
OGDEN.
From Washington comes the an
nouncement that the schools are
closed and the hospitals filled to over
flowing as a result of tho Influenza
epidemic.
The public health service, with
headquarters in Washington, has sent
the Standard the following statement:
While the situation in certain parts
of the country is undeniably acute on
account of the large number of per
sons affected, fortunately, in almost
every instance the Health authorities
are proving able to check the spread
of the disease shortly after Its appear
ance; moreover the percentage of fa
talities is comparatively small. People
should bear in mind the fact, however,
that while there Is no reason for any
great alarm or panic about the matter,
it is important for everyone to exer
cise unusual care ns to health and all
should aid in every possible way to
prevent the spread of the epidemic
and to combat it wherever It appears.
In parts of the country, those whose
duties bring them in contact with the
Influenza sufferers are wearing gauze
masks.
In Ogden the disease is spreading
rapidly. Still there is no reason for
alarm. Every preventive measure pos
sible to employ should be utilized.
During the days of delightful sunshine,
the epidemic, though widespread,
should cause no great number of
deaths, as sunshine Is the very best
remedy v . . . ,
j Use as a gargle and nose wash salt
and water. Do not make thq solution 1
offensively strong with salt. Applied
three times a day, this simple prophy
lactic should ward. off the disease. An
Ogden druggist suggested this to the
Standard, and its cheapness certainly
commends it.

Berlin Bankers.
AMSTERDAM. Friday, Oct. 11.
While the German junkers "bewail the
demise and burial of glorious old
Prussia" and make dramatic appeals
to the shade of Bismarck, Berlin bank
ers loday notified their correspondents
here that President Wilson's first
condition, the evacuation of occupied
territories is considered "not ac
ceptable." Today's Cologne Gazette already
pours balm on wounded German feel
ings, pointing out that "If the enemy's
overwhelming numerical superiority
in men and munitions has overthrown
all human calculations, tho Germans
have nevertheless proved themselves
brilliantly capable -and can never be
destroyed as a nation."
The Poson Neucstc Nachricten edi
torially remarks:
"The now chancellor has directly
approached President Wilson, which
may seem surprising. The president
has always been held up to desccra
tlon in the German press as a fa
natical war maniac. The veil now Is
being lifted and it Is clearly proved
President Wilson is no war maniac,
but an idealist whose aim is to eslab
llsh -world peace founded on a league
of nations."
Turkish Premier Resigns.
LONDON, Oct 12. The Turkish
embassy in Berlin officially confirms
the rcp'orts that Talaat Pasha, tho
Turkish premier, and Enver Pasha,
the war minister, have resigned, says
a Central News dispatch from Am
sterdam. It does not, hdwever, con
firm the reported appointment of
Tewfik Pasha, former ambassador to
London, as premier, stating that he,
with Izzet Pasha, for Turkish cn-mander-in-chief,
has been mentioned
for tho premiership.
German Reply Expected Sunday.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12,If Ger
many's reply to President Wilson's
inquiries regarding her peace pro
posals was dispatched last night, dis
patches from Switzerland indicate, it
probably will reach Washington not
later than tomorrow night Prince
Maximilian's first note was delivered
personally to President Wilson by the
Swiss charge here, so should the re
ply come to the legation tomorrow it
I may be held until Monday to await
the return of tho president from New
York.
The first note was about 48 hours
coming by cable from "Berne. This
was slow transmission and it is pos
sible that this delivery may be ac
complished more expeditiously.
The state department still is with
out confirmation of reports that Tur
key has appealed to tho Allies for
peace on Allied terras and there also
was nothing official regarding an
other communication from Austria.
At the Spanish embassy, which rep
resents Turkish Interests here, it was
said no information had been received
from Madrid of a communication" from
Constantinople.
The collapse of the pro-German
government in Turkey is regarded
here virtually as an accomplished fact.
Consequently a direct appeal from
Constantinople for peace without re
gard to Berlin is expected momentar
ily. Demands Are Accepted
BASEL, Switzerland, OcL 12. (Ha
vas) The Frankfort Gazette announ
ces that the German answer to Presi
dent Wilson which has been completed
In principle, probably was forwarded
on Friday night. The Gazette says it
has reason to believe that the answer
expresses adhesion of Germany to the
demands of President Wilson.
Hope for Durable Peace
COPENHAGEN, Oct. 12 The North
German Zeltung says that the German
answer to President Wilson's note of
inquiry is ready and believes that itl
was handed to the Swiss government
today.
The newspaper understands that
"tho answer will make far-reaching
advances and it is hoped that the dis
cussion between Germany and Presi
dent Wilson will bring forth a durable
peaco for the whole world."
It was stated by that newspaper that
the note was "carefully considered by
tho war cabinet," consisting of the
chancellor, the vlce-ohancellor and
secretaries without portfolios and that
an answer In principle was agreed
upon after a conference with the su
preme military command.

Grave Situation In Turkey.
GENEVA. Oct. 11. (Havas.) A
grave moment of unrest Is reported at
Constantinople, of such magnitude that
certain quarters call It the beginning
of a revolution directed against the
Young Turks.
The movement had- its inception

Palestino and Bulgaria's surrender and
during the last fow days has rapidly
Increased In scope. It is reported that

Great Task Ahead.
LONDON, OcL 12. Via Montreal.
Field Marshal Halg on October 1 is
sued an army order calling attention
of his officers to the circulation of false
rumors to the effoct that peace was at
hand, with tho evident object of dis
couraging the troops and diverting
thorn from the great task ot over
throwing their enemies.
Field Marshal Haig urged the troops
to realize now more than ever that It
was necessary to concentrate their
energies on the great goal all hoped
for, namely tho attainment in the near
future ot a decisive and happy result.
Entire Wilson Program Accepted.
AMSTERDAM, Oct. 12 Comment
ing on the German peace proposal to
President Wilson, tho Hamburg Frem
denblatt says:
"The German government has ac
cepted President Wilson's entire pro
gram without exception as a basis for

"As regards the evacuation of oc

ZURICH, Friday, Oct. 12. In dis

result of this would be the delivery of
those in the east to the Bolsheviki.

Soldier Telle Story
The experience related by William i
Richards typifies that of the others
but nerhans is a hit morn Hpnsatinnal.
He said:
"The fellows were fine. Wo knew
that when the ship went fast on the
srocks so far out we would not have
much chance to save our skins. But
we all seemed determined to make a
good try.
"A wave washed me off and I man
aged to get clear of the ship. The
first man I recognized in the water
was the captain who was thrown over
board when the mast broke away. He
was standing straight up streading
water and looking about for some
thing to grasp.
"There were three men on a mat
tress riding into shore as If they were
enjoying life, but while I watched
them and wishing I were on it too, a
big roller swept them all off and
banged them against the rocks.
Rafts Smashed to Pieces
"I saw five or six others hanging on
a raft. Some managed to climb on the
tin raft lowered from tho ship but ev
ery raft I saw was smashed to pieces
against the vessel or on the rocks.
"The noise of tho wreckage grind
ing on the rocks was fierce and any
fellow who got into tho wreckge was
as good as gone. There were dozens
of the boys floating around me, all
dead, with nothing but their blue faces
out of the water.
"A big roller carried me into a kind
I of cleft in the rocks and I was thrown
upon the side. I must have passed
out. When I came to I saw two Bri
tish soldiers on the other side of the
ravine. They threw me a rope which
I made fast and crossed hand over
hand."
Joseph Pollock said he believed
many more of the soldiers would have
been saved but for the steep banks
of the cliffs. In one little cove twenty-eight
bodies were counted.
Deep Gratitude to Islanders
All the Americans voiced their deep
gratitude to the Islanders for the ten
der care they gave the men. Tho
survivors were put to bed In private
houses and were so well provided for
In every way that no one wished to
leave when the relief ship arrived.
The loss of the Otranto's papers
prevents the army authorities from
learning the names of the missing. All
the names of the survivors aro being
cabled to Washington where they will
be checked aaginsl the full list kept
at tho port from which the vessel
sailed. In this way the list of the dead
will be ascertained.
One officer ot the Young Men's
Christian association, named Brown,
is among the missing.
Burying American Dead
ISLAND OF ISLAY, Scotland,
Thursday, OcL 10. (By the Associated
Press) American dead from the troop
ship Otranto will bo buried in the lit
tle church -yard at Kilchman In graves
accommodating twenty bodies each.
As rapidly as tho bodies can be as
sembled they will be burled in an open
field on the edge of a cliff directly
overlooking the scene of the wreck.
A memorial service will be held to
day at the church. '
It will be conducted by tho rever
end Donald Grant who with Mrs. Grant
were leaders in relief and rescue work.
American and British officers, the Is
lay authorities and a large number if
Islanders will attend the ceremony.
After the. simple service, has been read
a military salute will be fired over the
graves.
Owing to the heavy surf and the ex
treme difficulty rf combing the high
cliffed coast o fthe island it may bo
many days before tho bodies of all tho
victims are recovered. The task of
conveying the dead over tho rough
ground from distant points to Kilch
man is proving a difficult problem.
No four wheeled vehicles can be used
and the bodies are being transported
on carts.
LONDON. Oct. 12. More than 360
American soldiers were lost on the

covered up to this morning. Many of
these were given burial by a party sent
from Liverpool.

Sunday with the transport Kashmir.
The statement follows;
"At 11 o'clock on Sunday the armed
mercantile cruiser Otranto, Acting
Captain Ernest Davidson, in command,
was in collision with the steamship
Kashmir. Both vessels were carrying
United States troops. The weather was
very bad and the ships drifted apart
and soon lost sight of each other. The
torpedo boat destroyer Mounsoy was
called by wireless and by skilful hand
ling succeeded in taking off 27 officers
and 239 men of the crew and 300 Unit
ed States soldiers and 30 French sail
ors. They were landed at a north Irish
port.
"The Otranto drifted ashore on the
island of Islay. She became a total
wreck. Sixteen survivors have been
picked up at Islay. There are missing
and it Is feared drowned 335 United

Dual Monarchy With Turkey
Threaten to Accept President
Wilson's Peace Terms.
(By The Associated Press)
On the wings of necessity the Ger
mans are flying eastward from their
old battle positions from Douai to La
Fere and northward from LaForo to
the Meuse river. Their flight Is toward
some haven to safety from the talons
of the allied hawks which everywhere
aro menacing them.
Meanwhile there have been sent
broadcast further reports that Austria-Hungary
and Turkcj', seeing that
the trend of events spells ultimate de-
feat, have informed Germany that they
will accept President Wilson's peace
terms. Notwithstanding the advan
tages that are bolng achieved over tho
common enemy on the battle fronts
and the peaco feelers In the air. Pres
ident Wilson, Secretary of State Lans
ing, Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
and In fact all the high officials of the
government are warning the American
citizenry that the situation still is crlt
leal and that every one should rally to
the support of the fourth Liberty loan.
All along the battle front tho allied
troops are advancing. From the south
of Douai to the east of Laon the enemy
everywhere is giving ground eastward
Douai Completely Outflanked.
Douai now is completely outflanked
by the latest operations of the British
while between Cambrai and SL Quen
tin the British and Americans are still
chasing the enemy. To the south of St.
Quentin the French over a wide front
have crossed the Olse river and In
conjunction with tho retirement of the
enemy from the Chemin des Dames,
are forcing the Germans to give up the
great St. Gobain forest, the bastion at
the bend of the line where It turns
eastward, and also the stronghold of
Laon. the keystone of the entire south
ern German line.
While from the war maps it would
appear to the casual observer that tho
Germans in this bend of the elbow are
likely to be cut off, it seems more
probable that they will be able to use
the railways and high roads leading in
all directions from Laon like the main
branches of a spider's web and aflect
their escape without great losses in
prisoners. Nevertheless the retrograde
movement here of necessity must have
a strong bearing on the stability of
whatever new line the Germans may
choose to stand upon and on their still
relatively strong fronts in Belgium and
from Verdun to the Swiss border. The
Italians are taking a great part in the
unvms oi me enemy trom tbe Chemin
des Dames.
East of Rheims the Suippe river has
been crossed by the French at numer
ous places. West of the Argonne forest,
which now is held by the French and
Americans, the Germans are in retreat
and a number of additional towns and
villages have been taken by the
Franco -American forces. East of the
Argonne and along the Meuse valley
the Americans are still progressing
satisfactorily.
Tho retreat of the enemy along the
35 miles of the western line from
Douai to the southeast of St. Quentin
is sUll too fast, except on isolated sec
tors, for the foot troops of the Brit
ish, American and French, to keep In
contact with him. The cavalry and
tanks on the plains and through tho
wooded sectors, however, have taken
a terrible toll from the rear guards,
while still farther back allied airmen
arc cutting to pieces the columns of
the bewildered foe as they try to make
... . uuiease line.
Virtually no infantry opposition is
bemff encountered. The machine gun
seemingly is being chiefly depended
upon by the Germans to hold back the
foe as their main forces retire.
