? WOL. 7 WILSON’S REPLY TO GERMAN PLEA FOR ARMISTICE. Washington, Oct. 14—The text of President Wilson’s reply to ■Germany, delivered to the charge of the Swiss legation, follows: “Sir— ln reply to the commu nication of the German govern ment dated the 12th inst, which you handed me today, I have the honor to request you to transmit the following answer: “The unqualified acceptance by the present German govern ment and by a large majority of the reichstag of the terms laid down by the president of the United States of America in his address to the congress of the United States on Jan. 19LS, and in his subsequent addresses jus tifies the president in making a frank and direct statement of his decision with regard to the com munications of the German gov ernment of Oct. 8 and 12, 1918 "It roust be clearly understood that the process of evacuation and the conditions of an armi stice are matters which must be left to the judgment and advice of the military advisers of the government of the United States .and the allied governments, and the president leels it Iris duty to say that no arrangement can be accepted by the government of the United States which does not provide absolutely satisfactory < safeguards and guarantees of the' maintenance of the present mili tary supremacy of the armies ■ f the United States and the allie.- in the field. "He feels confident that he can safely assume that this will also be the judgment and decision ot the allied governments. ‘The president feels that it is also his duty to add that neither the government of the United States, nor, he is quite sure, the governments with which the gov ernmeiit of the United States is associated as a belligerent will consent to consider an armistice so long as the armed forces of Germany continue the illegal and inhumane practices which th.y still persist in. “At the very time that the Ger man government approaches the government of the United States •with proposals of peace its sub marines are engaged in sinking passenger ships at sea, and not Che ships alone, but the very boats in which their passengers unA crews seek to make their way to safety; and in their pres ent enforced withdrawal from Flanders and France the German armies are pursuing a course of wanton destruction which has always been regarded as in di rect viol-lion of the rules and practices of civilized warfare. Cities and villages, if not destroy ed, are being stripped of all they j contain not only, but often of; their very inhabitants. The na tions associated against Germany cannot be expected to agree to a cessation of arms while acts of inhumanity, spoliation and deso lation are being continued which they justly look upon with hor ror and with burning hearts. “It is necessary also, in order that there may be no possibility of misunderstanding, that the president should very solemnly call the attention of the govern ment of Germany to the language and plain intent of one of the terms of peace which tne Ger man government, has now accept ed. It > s contained in the- ad dress of th“ president delivered at Mount Vernon on tiie F’oui tii of July l*st. Cheyenne Record. CHEYENNE WELLS, CHEYENNE COUNTY, COLORADO, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 191 S “It is as follows: The destruc tion of every arbitrary power anywhere that can separately, secretely and of its single choice disturb the peace of the world; or, if it cannot be presently de stroyed, at least its reduction to virtual impotency.’ “The power which has hither to controlled the German nation is of the sort here described. It is within the choice of the Ger man nation to alter it. The pres ident’s words just quoted natur ally constitute a precedent to peace, if peace is to come by the action of the German people themselves. The president feels Lound to say that the whole pro cess of peace will, in his judg ment, depend upon the definite ness and the satisfactory charac ter of the guarantees which can be given in this fundamental mat ter. It is indispensible that the governments associated against Germany should know beyond a peradventure with, whom they are dealing. “The president wiil make a separate reply to the royal and imperial government of Austria- Hungary, “Accept, sir, the renewed as surances of my high consider ation.

Washington, Oct. 13- Approx imately 9,000.000 persons who eat in public eating places will be affected bv new and more drastic restrictions on the serv ing of food which food Adminis trator, Hoover will impose on all Hotels, restaurants, cafes, clubs and dining cars, begining with October 21. The new regulations carry into effett the recent announcement of the food adminis ration that in fulfilling the American promise to the Allies to send them 17,500 080 tons of food this year, the public eating places would be cal led upon to "undertake in many particulars a more strict program than last year.” There are twelve "general or ders” in the new plan, which set forth the specific measure by which it is proposed to carry out a direct reduction in the con sumption of all foods, particulary staples, rather than a series of emergency regulations such as meatless and wheatless days and meals, and the substitution of one food for another. A Patriotic Measure. The food administration, in a circular to the proprietors of eat ing places concerning the twelve general orders says! It has not deemed advisable or necessary at present time actually to license the operation of public eating places but incases where the patriotic co-operation of such public eating places cannot be secured by other means, the United States food administrat ion will not hesitate to secure compliance with it’s orders thru its control of the distribution of sugar, flour and other food sup plies. Failure to confirm to any of the foregoing orders will be regarded as a wasteful prartiea forbidden by section four of the food control act of August 10 1917 Bread Ration Retained. The prohibition against serving any bread that does not contain at least 20 per-cent of wheat flour substitutes is specifically announ ceh, and of this Victory bread no more than two ounces may be served to a patron at one meal. Four ounces of other breads, such as corn bread muffins or Boston brown bread, may be served instead of Victory bread, should the patrons so desiree. No bread can be served until after the first course is on the table, which will prevent wasteful nib bling, or as a garnicuro. Bret d served at boarding camps is ex cepteJ, as is bread containing at least one-half rye flour. Included in the definition of meal are beef, mutton, pork and poultry and bacon is barred as a garnituro. Only one meat may be served to a patron at a meal, and not more than a half ounce Cheddar (American) cheese or butter. Must Save Waste Foods. No waste foods may be burned but a'l must be saved to feed an imals or reduced to obtain fats and fertilizer. One teaspoon ful of sugar is the limit for a meai, and then only when asked for. Sugar bowls will not be allowed on the tables. The general al lowance of two pounds of sugar for each ninety meals served, which includes that for cooking, , is to be strictly observed. We know that the majority of men in this class of l usings will welcome this enforcement on the ground that it protects the patri ot from the slacker and g.ves the honest man who wanst to save for the country protection from the wrongful 'acts of his unpatriotic competitor. Simplified service, with meats and vegetables on one plate, in stead of in side dishes, only necessary silverware and simpli fication of menu and menu cards are urged as means not only to save food but labor and paper. The war program discourages the table hotel meal, except when confined to few courses and small variety, as on the continent. Itocky Mountain News Occ. 14th 1918. Senator Wm. D. Reilly, present State Senator of this District, has p.-oven his worth in the legisla tive halls of our State and stands recognized as one of the leaders of thought and action in the Colo rado State Senate, His ability and State-man-ship were at once recognized and he was assigned to the most important committees in the upper branch of our legis lature, where his work on behalf of his constituents stands in bold relief in comparison with former representatives of this Senatoiial District. These, of all times, are times when men of known ability and experience are needed at the tab les of our Government in the momentous affairs that are daily coming before our State and Nat ion in the promulgation and win ning of the war. If. is no time to swap horses, and least of all is it time, to discard a useful steed, as it were, for one that has grown old both in years and in office holding, without having any actual experience in matters of State, The question is--Do the people of this district want a tried ami tiue representative, one who is young and virile, one whose every endeavor has been in the interest of his constituents, or will they choose an untried man whose age is at once again»t)hitn and whose ambition, it seems, is to round out an entire life in public service without having rendered any distinct service t«* the people.
