PARIS |SSTANDSFOR
FULL SURRENDER
Says This is a German Trick
to Get Breath and Gain
Time For
PROLONGED DISCUSSION

Paris, Oct. 7.-UncOnditiOnal sur
render characterizes the general
comment in Paris on the demand for
peace sent by the Central Powers to
President Wilson. It is felt here
that Germany and her allies have
not gone far enough in their request
% the President for an armistice,
I'd that, although they have stated
hat they are willing to talk peace on
resident Wilson's plans, they h.
lot shown submission such as was
forced upon Bulgaria.
The Paris newspapers are unani-
nous in their demand for complete
victory. The present peace move is
sneered at. A demand is made for
the entire submission Of Germany
and that the Germans be disarmed.
All eyes in France are turned to-
ward America-to Washington and
Wilson.
What will President Wilson's re-
| ply be?" the people are asking and
wondering, now that they know that
the Central Empires, particularly
Germany, are seeking cessation OF
hostilities and peace through the
President of the United States.
The feeling is general that the
Central Empires, bent upon the
greatest gamble Of all times, have
attempted to bring about by one
stroke by termination of their losing
game by trying to seek the good Of
fees of President Wilson as inter.
mediary.
"The White Flag Trick" is the
caption of the editorial in the Temps
dn the peace proposition of the Cen
trail Powers. What Germany has
done, says the newspapers, is ito in
vite the United States, who are bel
ligerents as much as Germany. to
play the role of mediator. as i. they
were outside our alliance" in re-
turn, continues the Temps, Germany
is willing to admit as the ba ,is OF
