Edgett, the party at Mrs. Beardsley's Thursday afternoon is postponed until next Wednesday, Oct. 16.
From all sources come the same decision in regard to Germany's proposal for an armistice in order to permit her to save her army and stores in Belgium and France and concentrate them along her own frontier to save her from invasion. Everywhere the proposal is treated with contempt and derision. It is generally believed to be an attempt to secure by tricky diplomacy what she has been unable to secure by force of arms and to secure a treaty similar to the Brest-Litovsk fiasco with Russia. England, France, Italy and the United States are expected to treat the offer with the contempt it deserves and continue the fighting against Germany with increased vigor. Following are some of the dispatches received concerning the offer of the kaiser:
Must Get Out—London.
LONDON.—No armistice will be granted the central powers before the complete evacuation by them of allied territory, with a cessation of the destruction and burning of allied cities. This is the personal opinion of foreign diplomatists of the highest rank here who have been questioned concerning the peace speech of the German imperial chancellor, Prince Max of Baden.
Another "Brest Litovsk."
PARIS.—(Havas)—The request for an armistice and the opening of peace parleys by the central powers is looked upon by the French press generally as an attempt to evade certain disaster. It is declared that Germany hopes to conclude a peace which will permit her to exploit the peace treaties of Brest-Litovsk and Bucharest and  Also to save the Hohenzollern dynasty.
