HUNS MUST YIELD, SAYS WILSON.
Presidents Note to Germany Declares
Allies Will Fix Terms for Any
Aemtstjce

Washington. Wilson sub
mitted his reply to the German plea
for an armistice and peace to the al
lies. and at the same time has in
formed Berlin that there can be no
armistice except upon terms that
would make 1t impossible for Germany
to renew hostilities.
While consenting to deal further
with the present authorities in Ger
many, the President has given them
this warning:
IF 1t (the United States) must deal
with the military masters and monar-
chial autocrats of Germany now, or If
it is likely to have to deal with them
later in regard to the international
obligations Of the German empire, it
must demand. not peace negotiations,
but surrender. Nothing can be gained
by leaving this essential thing unsaid."
