AT CROSS ROADS
Germany's Destiny Depends on
the Right Road.
Chuck the Kaiser or No Peace
Coming.

Paris, Oct. 26.-Germany today is
at the cross roads of her destiny.
This seems to be the first impress
sion of thinking Frenchmen, after
President Wilson's ultimatum- like
note.
Either Germany must chuck the
kaiser and the whole imperialistic
gang, or there will be no armistice
and no peace, until Marshal Foch's
sword forces an unconditional sur
render from Won Hindenburg.
When Wilson's reply first became
known, it created some slight surprise.
the newspapers having led the public
to expect a curt 'see Foch" or else
silence.
The hot-heads desired the door
slamming method. Others sopenly
stated that Wilson ran the risk of
furnishing his brilliant reputation for
craftsmanship if he wrote further.
Some of these, however. are now ex-
pressing approval of Wilson's latest
note, if the Temps editorial is any
indication. 1t is headed "Foch Has
the Floor" and concludes:
Marshal Foch and the allied mill
tary and naval chiefs will reply with
all the necessary clear-sightedness
and rigor recommended by President
Wilson himself. Nothing will be left
to chance
