LONDON. Oct. 20-In official circles.
here Germany's reply to President
Wilson's note Is not looked for before
tomorrow. The British Government
has not received anything officially
To confirm the various rumors to the
effect that the German reply has been
handed TO the Swiss Minister in Ber-
lin. in which Germany agrees to evac-
nate Belgium and to stop the sub
marine warfare Professionally. The In
formation that Germany might end
the submarine warfare cane from
Spain, where it was reported that
Germany by wireless had ordered her
submarines to return to their bases.
That Germany Is seeking to take ad-
vantage of every possible opportunity
to prolong the exchange OF notes Is
Indicated by despatch from Amster-
dam, which states that redraft Of
the reply was necessitated, owing to
the pressure exerted by opinion eX-
pressed in the Entente eScountries.
1t is believed here that while Prince
Max and Gen. Ludendorff may talk
peace both are actuated by the desire
to accomplish the withdrawal of the
German armies across the Rhine be-
fore disaster overtakes them. Allied
statesmen are convinced that hostill-
! ties must be continued until the allied
armies attain complete victory in the
I f1eId. or II settlement is arranged be-
forehand it must be accompanied BY
complete guarantees OF q nature to
make secure the same absolute victory.
including full surrender Of military
and naval bases.
Urges Diplomatic Unity.
The Importance of united allied
diplomatic front is emphasized by the
Observer. which says: IF Berlin now
attempts to drag out an inconclusive
correspondence we hope President
Wilson will put a sharp end to the
| enemy's design instantly. Germany is
counting craftily upon dissensions at
unity has so far been too much for
her in the field. and especially between
| the United States and Great Britain.
Some Emergencies between the ma
tlons now acting together are natural
and inevitable. In similar circumstances
! they always have taken place. There
| fore, the Allies. when they reach the
peace conference. must be able TO differ
without benehting the enemy. otherwise
their differences might teopardize the
cause of the Allies and America and put
II In deadly peril long after they be-
| lieved II won.
1T must be out wholly out of Ger

any circumstances. 1t must not be left
by any chance to her baffled but obsti
nate Junker faction to toy with thought,
of resuming war or to spin diploma tx
intrlgues for that purpose
Ask support for Premier.
In another paragraph the Observe,
appeals to the British people to support
the Prime Minister as other countrie,
supporte their leader. Lloyd George
must stand on an effective equality. nC
mere. no less. with President Wilson ant
Premier Clemenceau." the paper says.
1T is necessary to say this at thi!
juncture because some conditions W,
face are singular. Day after day som,
of the lingo sheets write as though
Clemenceau were their leader, while 9th
ers write as though they had no leade
but Wilson. Nothing but harm cal
come of these perversities"
