Washington - President Wilson'S
note of inquiry to the imperial Ger
man government was received by con-
gress with mixed feelings. 1t came
as something of surprise, many SEN
ators and representatives having an,
ticipated that the president would re-
ply to Germany with the same blunt
trian peace proposal several weeks
ago.
Some members viewed the presi-
dents note with disappointment, but
the prediction was generally made
hat his final answSr to Germany would
equal all expectations. Administra-
ton leaders pointed out that the note
must not be regarded as reply but
merely an inquiry. They explained
that 1t was prepared undoubtedly to
test the sincerity of the German pro-
posal and to nul!!fy any advantage the
German government might have gained
with it's own subjects by appearing
conscientiously DESTROYS of peace.
Senator Hitchcock OF Nebraska,
chairman of the foreign relations com.
mittee, made this statement: THE
presidents preliminary answer ia well
calculated to develop the issue. 1t
will prevent Germany from concealing
or Disgusting the real issue. | believe
IL to have been a wise step on the
part of the president before replying
to the note Of Prince Macmillan to
obtain exactly the intention of the
German government before framing
his reply to Prince Maximilian's
communication.
