ered to be significantly connected with
the word from London that the British
- government is inclined to oppose the
granting of an armistice antil complete
guaranties of both a military and naval
nature come from Germany. This de
velopment, reported in Associated
Press dispatches, from London, probably
has some relation to the announcement
Saturday that Great Britain, France
and Italy were agreeing upon a com
mon line of action.
Allies Agreed,
Is Italian View
WASHINGTON, Oct, 14. An of
ficial dispatch from Koine today says
the Italian public knows the al
lied governments adhere in principle
to President Wilson's expressed pro
gram of peace, "but have opinions of
their own, clearing tip Wilson's prin
ciples on special point of national in
terest." "If President Wilson thinks the Ger
nian reply to his inquiries makes it
possible, the Italian press thinks fie
now will, in accord with the allies ei-
talp!ih conditions for an armistice
which should comprise all indispensable
military guarantiee"

Here9 s Germany's Answer;
Read It, Then Buy Bonds
CHANCELLOR MAXIMILIAN'S answer to President Wilson's in
quiry was received in Washington by wireless Saturday evening.
On the face of it most of the president's terms are accepted, but
Washington officially begs the nation to carry on to buy more bunds and '
hit harder in every phase of war work.
Here is the text of the note:
In reply to the ouestleas of the president of the United States
of America, the Germaa government hereby declares:
The Germaa government haa accepted the term laid dowa by
President Wilson ia bia aldreee el January g and in hie subse
quent addresses on the foundation of a permanent peace of Justice.
Consequently, ita object in catering Into discussions would be
only to agree apon practical details of the application of these
terms. Tbe German government believes that the government of
the powers associated with tbe government of the United States
also take the position taken by Presideat Wilaon in his address.
The German government in accordance with the Austro-Hungarian
government, for the purpose of bringing about aa armistice, de.
dares itself ready to comply with tbe proposition of the presi
dent in regard to evacuation. Tbe German government suggests
that the president may occasion the meeting of a mixed commis
sion tor making the necessary arrangements concerning the evac
ustloa. The present Germaa government, which haa undarukea
tee responsibility for this atep towards peace bas been formed by
conferences and la agreement with tbe great majority of the
relehstag. Tbe chancellor, supported in all of his actions by the,
will of this majority, epeaka in the name of the Germaa govern,
ment and of the Germaa people.

reached the Laon-La Fere railroad did
they encounter anv real resistance.
Italians take Part
Italian troops participated in the ad
vance and are now engaged on the hills
north of the Ailette river. At this
particular point the German lines have
been pressed back or have been with
drawn so that a sharp angle has' been
created.
With the exception of the area north
of Drmai, there appears to have been
a slowing down of the allied advance
during the past couple of days. At no
point have the Hritish and Americans
swept ahead as they did on Thursday
and Friday last week.
Banding Line locatel
This may indicate that the Ger-
mans have reached what is known as
the Ilunding or Brunhild line. This,
poaition which is much less formid
able, so far as known, than the Hin
denburg system, is still strong enough
to restrict pursuit by the allies and
perhaps hold for some time.
The Hunding line run from Ant
werp to Ghent and theme to Tonrnai,
Conde, Valenciennes, Solesmes, (iuise,
Ketlicl, Vouxiers, Dun-sur-Meuse and
then down the hsse of the St. Mihiel
salient to tbe Moselle, where h joins
the old front running through Lor
raine and the Vosges to the Swiss
frontier.
French and British forces have vir
tually reached this line east of Cam-
nrai and St Quentin. Hritish units
are reported at Solesmei, while the
French, farther sooth, are within four,
miies ot uutse.
On the Champagne front General
Uerthelot is less than five miles from
Kethel, while farther east General
Gouraud has taken Vouxieres, but has
not penetrated much north of that
place. Americans fighting in the Ar
gonne region are through the JCreim
hilde line but their progress there is
very slow.
Study of the tactics followed by the
Germans during the past week has
shown that thev are following th.
methods of retreat used in the Marne
and Somme salients fn July and Aug
ust They have held their flanks
fairly secure and have withdrawn their
center. They have thus apparently
escaped disaster arosmd Laon where
military experts have said the Germans
M" delayed their retirement too long
for their own safety. t
In the region of Douaf British troop
are fighting their way forward against
desperate resistance and in spue ot
numerous waterways which serve to
hold up their advance.
Douai is virtually reached, while to
the north the line is sagging off sharp
ly to the east Should Douai fall the
nritish will be able to advance o.i
Valenciennes.
The One river has been rrnssnt t
the French to the northeast of U Fere
at Origny. and they have advanced

county and OJimulgee in Okmulgee
county. Neither county has yet raised
its quota, according to the figures of
siaie nesnquartcrs.
There is not a county in the state
that is far enough begind but the
quota can be raised before Saturday
night if the people will only forget
about peace for the present and put in
their best efforts for the loan, is the
opinion reflected at state headqnartrrs.
Womea StiU at Work.
The mopping up campaign will be
continued by the Oklahoma county
committee this week and while none of
the men teams will be at work, indi
viduals from them wilt continue to take
subscriptions, and Chairman William
ret tee will remain on dutv at the
Chamber of Commerce, No large sub
scriptions are expected during the week
but hundreds ot small ones can be ob
tained, it was stated.
The woman s committee here main
tains its organiiaticm and expects to
be active all week. The territory as
signed them for subscription week was
so much larger than any of the snen's
teams and the fact that the epidemic of
influenza injured their campaign to a
ffrealer tnt than it mn U l
probable that they will get the bulk of
the local subscriptions that will he
taken this Sreek.
