Germany claims the sanction of in
ternational law for carrying out de
struction of property during retreats
and says her troops are under strict
instructions to spare private property
and care for the population to the best
of their ability. Where transgressions
occur, the note says, the guilty are be
ing punished.
"The- German government suggests
to the president that an opportunity
should be brought about for fixing the
details. It trusts that tho president
of the United States will approve of
no demand which would be irroconcll
iable with the honor of the German
people and with opening a way to a

''In order to nvoid anything that
might hamper the work of peace, the
German government has caused orders
to be dispatched to all submarine
commanders, precluding the torpedo
ing of passenger ships, without, how
ever, for technical reasons, being able
to guarantee that these orders will
reach every single submarine at sea
before its return.
"As a fundamental condition for
peace the president prescribes the de
struction of every arbitrary power
that can separately, secretly and' of its
r'i mVrvlA nlmtAn r1intiY-K iUn nfii on r r
VI it OlillU lillUlC UlOllll U cue
the Avorld. To this the German govern
ment replies:
"Hitherto -the representation of the
people in tho German empire has not
been endowed with an influence on the
formation of the government.
"The leaders of the great parties of
the relchstng are members of this
government. In the future, no govern
ment can take or continue In oflice
without possessing the confidence of a
majority of the reichstag."
"The constitution did not provide
for a concurrence of representation of
the people In decisions of peace and
war. These conditions have just now
undergone a fundamental change. A
new government has been formed in
complete accordance with the wishes
(principle?) of the representation of
secret, direct franchise.
"The German government further
denies that tho German navy, in sink
ing ships has never purposely destroy
ed lifeboats with their passengers. The
German government proposes with re
gard to all those charges that the facts
be cleared up by neutral commissions.
"The German government protests
against the, reproach of Illegal and In
humane actions made against the Ger
man land and sea forces and thereby
against the German people. For the
covering of a retreat, destructions will
always bo necessary and they are car
ried out insofar as is permitted by in
ternational law. The German troops
are under most strict instructions to
spare private property and to
exercise care for the pop
ulation to the best of their
ability. Where transgressions occur,
in spite of these instructions, the guil
ty are being punished.
uermany nas agreeu mat conditions
of an armistice should be left to the
military advisers and that the actual
standard of power on both sides in the
field should form the basis for ar
rangements "The responsibility of the chancellor
of the empire to the representation of
tho people is being legally developed
and safeguarded. The first act of the
new government has been to lay Jje
fore the reichstag a bill to alter the
constitution of the empire so that the
consent of the representation of the
people is required for decisions on war
and peace."
"Tho permanence of the new sys
tern Is, however, guaranteed not only
by constitutional safeguards, but also
by the unshakable determination o
the German people, whose vast ma
jority stands behind these reforms and
demands their energetic continuance.
"The question of the president
with whom and the governments as
sociated against Germany are dealing
is therefore answered in a clear,
unequivocal manner by tho statement
that the offer of peace and an armis
tice has come from a government
wljich Is frej-from any arbitrary and
irresponsible influence, and is sup
ported by tho approval of an overwhelming-majority
of the German
people.' '

The text of the German note, as re
ceived by wireless, is as follows:
"In accepting tho proposal for an
evacuation of occupied territories, the
German government has started from
the assumption that the procedure of
this evacuation and of the conditions
of an armistice should be left to the
military advisers and that the actual
standard of power on both sides in tho
field hns to form the basis for arrange
ments safeguarding and guaranteeing
this standard.
AWKWARD ATTEMPT
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 Germany's
reply to President Wilson as received
today by wireless Is regarded hero as
an awkward attempt to accept the
conditions of peace laid down by
President Wilson. It is believed to be
certain that the wireless version is
garbled to an extent, and officials will
await the arrival of the official text
before reaching conclusions.
In the meantime there will be no of
ficial comment. Even unofficially no
one will express an opinnlon of what
they will think of the note, though the
general Impression seems to bo that
it at least does not close the door
to further exchanges.
Upon the exact languago of the of
ficial text may depend whether the
president will consent to pappose an
armistice to the Allied powers. De
nial of the Germans that atrocities
have been committed are immater
ial, the important thing is that atro
cities now apparently have been or
dered stopped.

HOTEL, ENDS LIFE WORK WHEN
AFFLICTED WITH INFLUENZA
William G. (Billy), Wilson, builder
of tho famous Hermitage hotel, -and
one of the most favorably known' of
western characters, died at 11:30 a. m.
today at his home, 501 Twelfth street,
of Spanish influenza. In tho passing
of Billy Wilson, Ogdeii loses a citizen
whose strength and rugged spirit has
done much toward building the city
and whose familiar figure was known
to practically every person in the coun
ty. Ill Few Days.
Mr. Wilson become ill of influenza a
few days ago and, despite his strong
constitution, tho malignant disease de
veloped until his condition -was se
rious. His son, William W. Wilson,
this morning telegraphed his youngest
daughter, Harriet S. Wilson, at Los
Angeles, that her father was verv low
and asked her to return home. Within
a half hour after he had sent the mes
sage his father died.
He is survived by his wife and three
children, William W. Wilson, Flora M.

Coming to Utah as a boy ol IS, he
arrived in Ogden just in time to wit
ness the epochal driving of the golden
spike on Promontory Point when the
east and west were linked together
with n railroad system, then the great
est in the world. He was born at
Hurlford, Ayrshire, Scotland, the son
of Benjamin Wilson, May 6, 1850, and
his hardy Scotch ancestry gave him
the character nnd strengtli which
stood him in such good stead later
in life when he undertook the pioneer

quite aside from a cessation of hostil

such negotiations are entered into, the

must be satisfied that the German war

The resolution further calls for the

TOTAL NUMBER OF
DEATHS PLACED AT
FORTY-SIX
There Is no diminution in the in
fluenza situation in Ogden this morn
ing. The hopes that tho epidemic was
on the decrease have not been sus
tained by the facts of the last twenty
four hours. Since noon yesterday,
eleven sufferers have passed away of
complications due in the first place
to the ravage of this terrible disease,
but doctors, nurses and citizens are
working with might and main to over
come the increase of the epidemic. In
the opinion of one prominent Ogden
physician, more cases are being suc
cessfully cared for and saved by the
enterprising and enlightened caro
given by mothers and the folks at
home than by anything else whatso
ever, while the magnificent wdy in
which many have gone to tWhelp of
sufferers is a fact the citymay well
be proud of. As a body. tho school
teachers of tho city are playing a great
part and when the story of Xhc suc
cessful fight is told their ready and,
gifted help will be a bright passage in
the narrative. There is need yet for
care, more care, and care all the time.
In more cases than one the serious
stages of tho malady have been reach
ed only by reason of early neglect. The
wlso thing to do is to imprison every
sufferer from a cold in bed and see
that proper treatment is given and the
patient not allowed to go from his
room until he is perfectly restored.
Panic willrnelthcr help, but rather hin
der the war that is being waged
against the disease. But care, good
care, care all th time will, with en
lightened treatment, win the day.
Since October 3, 46 deaths have oc
curred in this city. One family, the
Madson family, has suffered the loss ot
three members, Josephine Adella Mad
son, 8 years old, 'on Oct. 16; Mrs. Ad
ella Madson on OcL 19, and Kathryn
Madson, 11 years old, on pet. 20.
Another family has lost two chil
dren. Kenneth E. Goates, 9 years old,
on October 18; Elaine Goates, 5 years
old, on October 20.
Mrs. J. G. Alder, 2539 Adams avenue,
died this morning at 5 o'clock of pneu
monia. Mrs. Alder Is survived by her
and one brother and five sisters.

in the Madson homo and was taken
sick of the disease last Monday. Oth
ers who have died of the disease since

with more than two-thirds of
the ore used by their iron man
ufactories. Metz is on the Moselle ten
and one-half miles west of the
French border. The city lays
astride the Moselle river as
well as on both sides of the
Seille. Part of the city is on
islands in the Moselle. To the
east, north and northwest are
the iron and coal fields of
French and German Lorraine.
Deprived of these fields Ger
Imany could not conduct the
is asserted.
The chief iron field on the
Rhine district is that of Lor
raine, including the Bassin de
Briey, (the center of which is
the little village of Briey) , the
greatest iron-producing region
in the world. It is located
mainly in Alsace-Lorraine and
overlaps into Belgium and
Luxemburg. It extends along
the France-German frontier
for thirty-five miles, almost up
to Pont-a-Moussin.
Germany's possession of the
major portion of this produc
tive area followed the signing
of the Treaty of Frankfort in
1 87 1 . Previous to the present
war Germany obtained from
the mines on her side of the
frontier 21,000,000 tons of
total annual production of 28,
000,000, while France got 1 5,
000,000 out of a total produc
tion of 22,000,000.
Since her occupation in
1914 of the mines on the
French side of the frontier,
Germany h'as added to her min
eral wealth the 15,000,000
tons annually obtained by the
French, bringing her total
production from Lorraine
alone up to 43,000,000 tons a
year.
The only practical road to
this important region, military
authorities agree, is the valley
of the Moselle. At the head
of the valle3f and barring the
way lies Metz, ranking with
great bulwarks of the German j
southwestern frontier. Metz
is a city of 60,000 population,
its chief industries being the
manufacturing of weapons,
clothes, shoes and hats.
As a fortress Metz has been
important since the Roman
era. Since that time it has
never succumbed to frontal at
tack. Its present system of
fortifications includes 28 de
tached forts which encircle the
of defenses, built within the
city proper. The outer chain
of defenses built within the
last two decades, and undoubt
edly perfected since the out
break of the present war, ex-
dies of the Red Cross canteen at tho , SI
depot and the boy was found to bo 111
suffering of influenza. jj
One patient, a Japanese, who came a
into the hospital on the first day of Its 'ftjg
opening in a sad state of pneumonic Jjfl
trouble, passed tiway this morning' at : jjl
an early hour. ' l

establishment. ' fk
The staff is largely made 6p of mem- If
bers of the staff of the Ogden city fll
schools, and the splendid sacrifice and j I
willingness of these ladies is a- matter ' 111
for great praise. They have shown j
themselves adaptable, willing and ca- If
pable and possessed of the finest spirit, W
desiring to uso whatever ability they ; W
have in rescuing their patients from a
tho worst stages of the disease. j M
Nurse Swainston is eager that their Hi
names should be known and they 'are i t

West and southwest of Metz ,fif
the course of the Moselle is ilnli
lined with high, wooded hills. ln
The German fortress also is 'Rj
protected by heights and " R
woods northward. On the m
south, however, the .terrain is , j
more open with few hills and fh
little wood. ml
From the American lines
southwest of Metz the nearest WM
forts were Forts Haeesler and jlm
de Sommy on the right bank ":BJ
of the Moselle and Fort Kron- iff
prinz on the left bank. Fort ,
de Sommy is less than five am
miles from the French town of f
Arnaville, on the Franco-Ger- H'
man border. The forts sur- B'l
1 TV T -1 .
rounding ivietz were similar to H
those at Liege, which were not- B
able for their disappearing tur- B
rets. German guns, however, B
overcame these forts. B
Metz also is an important B
point on the railway line sup- B
plying the German line east- B
ward from Laon. sfl
The fall of Metz, not only B
seals the fate of the iron and B !
coal fields, but, through the se- BJ!
verance of railway lines, im- ;B
perils the German line west to Bft
Laon and thence northward to HI
the Belgium coast. All re- B
ports of a possible German re- H
tirement in the west have in- B
dicated that Metz would form B
one of the bastions of the H
German defense. fl
