Germany declares herself in accord
ance with the principles of Wilson's ad-
dress in the Senate. - Asserting
that her proposed peace negotiations
were brutality refused by her enemies

That note in which Germany declares

that there were beforehand confidential

ST. LOUIS wEsTLICHE POST.
The German government has given its
answer to the peace demands of the al
lies which have asked the elimination
of Germany from the powers of the
world. the disintegration of the Haps-
burg monarchy and the driving of Tur-
key from Europe. That answer reads:
"a submarine warfare to the knife"
Public opinion in Germany, coupled
with the deep resentment felt over the
hypocrisy contained in the peace condi-
tons of the allies. have at last pre-
vailed.
Firstly, the most likely result will be
| that the pro-allied forces will mar
shall their mighty influence to excite
public opinion against Germany. Upon
the attitude of the President will de-
pend whether these efforts are to be
successful. A warning to American
citizens as suggested in the Berlin note
would certainly go far to avoid con-
flict which otherwise seems inevita-

1t is certain that the United States

as is threatened and submit to the coer-
cion proposed for restricting it's inter
