HUN PEACE TALK IS SPURNED BY ALLIES FLAT REJECTION WILL GREET ENEMY ARMISTICE PROPOSAL FORM OF ANSWER A QUESTION Opinion Prevails That Unconditional, Surrender la Only Terms on Which Allies Will Quit Fighting. - President Consults Allies . IVaisilington, Oct. 8. --President Wil- mot is conferring with the premiers of the emeriti. nations over the form of answer to be Illallo last pellet. proposals. The Indications are that it will not be dispatched for a day or two. While there may be.some question as to Itie ft inn of the reply, there is no wlobLever as to its nature. It may mit us r the short and forceful term \unconditional surrender.\ which would reflect the sentiment which has :.otne from the spokesmen of the ha - lion, lint It is sure to convey to the I:termini government very clearly the fact that nothing less than the terms already laid down 11111 lie Ileeelited, and that those terms cannot lw made mere- ly \the basis for negotiations.\ As to an armistice, such a step would be looked upon as. suiriditi and tail to be thought of. Entente Receives Offer. Ity this time Prince Maximilian's note anil that of Baron Burton, the Alistro- ii ungariam foreign Mitilstt•r, in offivial form undoubtedly are in the foreign tiffices in Loudon. Paris and Rome, forwarded by President \Vit- .-eon, UN requested by the ceutral pow- ers. The exchanges now going on have a two -fold purpose: Obviously the American government would not proceed to speak for the other belligerents on a matter of such importance w I I hi nil t eonsultation iiinong them_ and it it purposed to avoid the mistake of Making ta curt and peremptory rejection WIllell could lie used by the ventral powers, before their own people, to bolster up the argument that they are waging a fensive\ war anti that the objects of the co-beillgerents are to \destroy\ them. Nothing Official. Lacking official unnouncetnents of what the president has done, it le highly probable that he has taken one of these two courses: Either he has asked Premiers LloYsi George, Cleinenceitu and Orlando to advise hint of their repiies or, more likely still, the president already has formulated at reitly and asked the premiers for their acquiescence. The temper of debate in the senate yesterday and the general tone of pulm. lic opinion in the United States as ex- pressed in the newspaper continent are a fair index of the government's The consensus of opinion in tiw senate debate wits that the offer should be rejected; the practically unanimous public opinion as reflected Iii newspapers all over tlw country WilS that no peace terms short of un- conditional surrender could be dis- cussed. Must Be Convincing. It Is clear the reply will be not rutty an answer to Germany and her allies, hut a statement for the historical rec- ord of the world. It is realized on every 11111111 that a rejection of a peace offer must be it convincing one and one vvItich will justify the prolonging of the war to the ends sought.

CALL UPON RED CROSS TO COMBAT INFLUENZA Instructions Haze Been Sent to All Chapters to Cooperate With Health Boards - Washington, Oet. 8, -Mobilization of the full forces of the A1111'1141111 Red Cross to combat the epidemic of Span- ish Influenza which rapidly is spread - fog over the country was determined upon yesterday until instructions sent Ii, all chapters. Itt co-operation with the public health service and the state hoard of health, the Red Cross will enroll nurses and will freely use its accu- mulated hospital supplies to fight the epidemic. A call also will be made for volunteers to go into the homes where mothers and housekeepers are ill and assume the management of the household. In a further effort to earl} the spread of the disease, Surgeon General Blue of the public health service has suggested to all state health officers that SellOPIR and places of amuse- ment be closed and public meetings discontinued where the malady be- comes prevalent.. Importance of re- porting cases also was urged by Dr. Blue. Late reports to the piddle health service show both that the disease is spreading and that the number of cases reported where it had been prev- alent heretofore Is increasing. This. however, was not the situation in army ramps, the number of new cases re- ported during the 48 hours ending at noon yesterday showing a slight de- crease.

'rite United States highways coun- cil, which has supreme authority for the remainder of the war over till street, highway and bridge work, through its control over materials, advises the Montana state highway vommission that It contemplates three classes of bridge projects which ap- pear worthy of favorable considera- tion during the war period; first, a bridge urgently required as a military necessity and recommended by a rep- resentative of the war department to the United States highways council; second, the replacement of art unsafe bridge which eannot be made safe through suitable repairs. traffic regu- lations or detour; third, the replace- ment of it bridge which has been de- stroyed and which is essential as a direct or Indirect war need. In its circular to the state highway commission, the United States high- ways council says the demand for steel and iron for military use Is so. great that its use in indirect war needs has been curtailed, often against the strong protests of government en- gineers. and it therefore is of the opinion that until further notice the - street and 'highway bridge policy of all sections of the country should be based upon the following principles: Use every endeavor to keep existing structures in service by such means as effective supervision, suitable re- pairs, control of traffic, prohibition of use of bridges by street can, road rollers, traction engines and ,other heavy vehicles. Relief of it weak bridge by a detour utiaging a , safer structure, and the improvement of such a detour by using materials which can be obtained without serious delay may be preferable to the recon- struction of a steel bridge. The highways (mitten points out that because of urgent government demands for cement and the fact that cement requires fuel for its produc- tion, public officials are not justified in assuming if they change plans for proposed structures from steel, to concrete it will be . possible to build new bridges without difficulty. If public officials find Ills impossi- ble to maintain existing structures and cannot substitute temporary ones for those that are unsafe. they should apply to the United States high- ways council through the Montana state highway commission for approval of their projects. An application should be made out for each bridge on forms. obtainable from the state highway commission. * * * Land May Be Reclaimed. State Forester J. C.
