 WASHINGTON. Oct. 24-Germany's plea for an armistice and peace now is before the allied governments. which are to determine whether they are disposed to accept President Wilson's principles of settlement. to which Ger many subscribes, and, in accord with the United States. ask their military advisers and those of America to pre- pare the terms of an armistice which virtually will mean surrender by Ger many.
 In various public utterances. the pre- miers and other leaders of the en- tente powers have repeatedly declared that President Wilson's statements in his address of last January and sub sequent addresses reflect their own views.
 Something more official and bind ing is required now. although it is regarded here as fOregone conclusion that this approval will be registered and that the officers of the supreme war council will be invoked to pre- pare the fateful document which will define the conditions under which IeiMduH udA secure EelltI lFom rue incessant hammering Of the victorious allies and American armies.
 None here today would undertake to forecast the probable time of a final decision on Germany's plea It is known. however. that the supreme war council has already given the mat. ter the most earnest consideration And in that connection it was recalled that there was no delay in notifying General D' Espernay. the allied com mander on the Balkan front. of the terms that should be laid down for Bulgaria. when that nation asked for an armistice. The general principles in each case probably are similar. but there necessarily will be a great vari- ance in the details. since not only a greater army and nation to be dealt with. but the question of large naval forces as well
 Certain utterances of entente states men and of inspired official organs have lead to the surnise here that.
