LONON, Oct.. 12— The British gov

warning to the people of ad Allied
nations and directed especially to the
people of America. The warning sa/s
that none **t the Allied people nuis’
think that G rmany is after a * real
peace. The warning also say.- *' at tl»«
people of the nited States nui-t no
lay in their Fourth Liberty I min sub

many hopes to accomplish by nt>n>11
t'ng peace proposals at this t mo.
“G rmany is treacherous, ill rough
and through. ” said the Briti h oific- j
ial note.” Germany will appear to h*
extending the peace hand while th
other holds the dagger ready to plun
ge it further into the side of human
ity. The great success s of tin* A!!i»*u
armies, the great stamina thrown *n
to the Allied forces by the ur.defe. t
able Americans, has struck German;
a hard blow. Germany is afru'd *d’ h*
own lands being dv vastatcd like sir
has destroyed others; afraid her owi
barbarians will la* treated like
has treated human kind of other conn
tries. The Allies are not* ha: Parian
t>rt they will insist on a peace and the
complete surrender of the Militarist!
of Germany and her Allies. Pon’t be
hooVwinked by Hun-ism. Support th.
Xllies as never before. Our men at ih<
front are losing no time in forcing
the G< rmans back to their own so**
and then th** final struggle will h
