AMsTERDAM, Oct. 13.-Dr. w. s. Solf

news agency. is quoted as saying:
THE particularly malicious campaign
of Indictment with which a part of the

continually repeated accusation that in

prisoners and populations.
The work OF destruction, which in
our retreat as in every operation OF
retirement in history, was unavoidable
and everywhere has been restricted 10
measures of really indispensable harsh
ness which are intended to prevent a
retiring army from leaving in the hands
OF the enemy bases which to a great
extent are of a military character"
Dr. Solf asked II the bombardment of

BASEL. Oct. IA despatch received
here from Berlin says the Conservative
party in the German Reichstag has pub
lished the following declaration con-
corning the German reply to President
wilson's questions:
Our armies are still far In enemy
country. Before an honorable peace
and the integrity OF the empires terri
tory is guaranteed all abandonment Of
German soil may be fatal and is ire
concilable with German honor.
Numerous patriotic societies await
with US a declaration from the German
Government saying II will not yield
upon these points. The German people
are resolved to defend the sacred soil OF
their country to the last man."
BERNE. Oct 13.-The Frankfort Zei-
tuno states that among the reforms
the German Emperor intends to renounce
the right to declare war.
Austrian newspapers received here
state that Germany and Austria Hungary
are in complete accord concerning the
evacuation of conquered territory and
hence Germany's note in reply to Pres
ident Wilson will stand as the answer
for the Central Powers.
GENEVA. Oct. l3-The tone Of the
German press is quite optimistic as
compared with the Austrian. which con-

ALLIED VIEWS ARE
RAPIDLY FORMING
Next Step May Come Sooner
Than Expected.
By tie Associated Press.

WAsHiNGToN, Oct, 1S>--The Asso-
clated Press is enabled to say that
views rapidly are crystallizing and the
next step in the peace problem with
Germany will be taken promptly, prob
ably sooner than may be expected.
President Wilson is expected first to
decide II Foreign Secretary Soils reply
to the inquiries addressed to Chancellor
Macmillan warrants him In presenting
Germany's original proposal to the En-
tente Allies 1t should be borne In mind
that the Presidents inquiry merely was
move ad interim, in which he pro-
posed nothing. bound himself to moth
ing and merely asked some questions
which. he declared, required an answer
before he could go further.
II he puts the proposition before the
Entente It undoubtedly win draw a
quick reply. Dispatches last night from
London quoting the London Erpress as
announcing that the British, French and
Italian governments had reached a
unanimous decision for line OF COM
mon action were regarded as being
deeply significant.
There Is general feeling that the
next move will confront the military
party with the choice OF such an uncon-
"s'oioi our cHucE as VIII Dc acCeDtaDle
to all the allied cobelligerents or a gem
| uine political revolution in Germany
Which Will bring about one.
1t has been pointed out that President
Wilson'S inquiry TO Chancellor Maxi
milan TO develop whether the Chancellor
merely was speaking for the German
leaders who have been conducting the
war probably was skllfully framed to
pave the way for an opportunity to in
form the German people directly that no
covenants Of peace can be made with the
men who have betrayed the world.
There seems little doubt that unless
the German people themselves, to use
the language OF the President, destroy
the autocratic power which OF its own
choice can disturb the peace of the
world or at least reduce II TO virtual i'm
potence. the allied armies will continue
the work Of destroying that power, on
the battlehleds OF France and Belgium
and probably on German soil.
The prediction Is being freely made
In the capital tonight that unless Ger
many's latest move brings peace, a rev.
olution Will sweep the Kaiser and his
whole partly completely out of power.
There are some supporters OF the Pres
dents diplomacy who hint that such a
development Is precisely what he has
been working for and that this will be
made plain when the veil of diplomatic
secrecy is lifted and the scenes of the
great International drama are disclosed
TO the world.

clared fiatiy that II the United States
agreed now to the armistice sought by
Germany the war was lost and all OF the
sacrifices Of hundreds Of thousands OF
lives. OF untold wealth and the terrible
privations undergone by millions would
have gone for nothing.
Ending the war now would leave the
German military power unbroken. her
fleet intact and the Hun hordes techni-

Senator Lodge declared. His statement
follows:

speak OF the German note, II authentic.
as n complete surrender. 1t is nothing
OF the kind. It Is Just the reverse.
1t is not surrender and II Is highly
conditional. II we accept that note It
means that Germany has failed to con-
uuer the world at this moment and that
we have lost the war.
1.-THE President made three inquiries.
He proposed DO terms: he made no
promises; he committed himself to moth
ing. no matter what the answer might
be. The Germans represent his ques-
items as terms offered and then say
that for the purpose Of bringing about
an armistice they are ready to accept
the Presidents general propositions and

the first step. and they propose that
evacuation should be arranged by a

to an armistice Germany will have op-
portunity to restore and refresh her
armies and accumulate munitions. Her
fleet Is untouched. Shc will be in ex-
actly the same position territorially
as she was when the war began.
Then she will discuss under the
Presidents general proposition the de-
tails. The details include everything
that Is vital-Alsace-Lorrai Italia Ir-
redenta, the independence OF the Czecho-
Slovaks, Jugo-Slavs and Poland the ex-
pulsion OF Turkey from Europe and much
else equally important to a real peace
and we are to sit around a table and
discuss them with Germany. who can
refuse everything she does not like under
the threat Of renewing the war in a more
advantageous position.

compromise and the President has said
that there can be no peace obtained by
any kind OF bargain or compromise
"Our only assurance for what may be
agreed to after weeks OF discussion
would be the German word and the Ger
