unofficial reports reaching Amster-
dam, the German reply to President
Wilson was delivered to the Swiss
minister in Berlin Saturday even
iEg, says an Exchange Telegraph
dispatch from Amsterdam.
Consents to Evacuation.
In the note Germany consents to
the evacuation of Belgium, but con-
siders that such a withdrawal will
take several months time.
Germany protests against the
charges of cruelty in the presidents
note and says she was forced into
submarine warfare by the allied
blockade.
The German government denies
responsibility for the loss of women
and children on torpedoed passenger
ships, but to advance peace Ger
many is prepared Professionally to
stop unrestricted submarine. war
fare.
Finally the note disputes the right
of foreign powers to meddle with
German internal affairs, and de-
clares Germany should enjoy the
same right of self determination as
other nations.

ceived here from Berlin say that
Matthias Erzberger, member of The
clerical center in the reichstag and
member without portfolio in the
German government, has sent the
following telegram to the center

"The new government must labor
with all resoluteness and energy to
give the fatherland peace after the
hard struggle. The German people

Wilson Expected to
Refuse to Continue
Exchange of Notes

Washington, Oct. $3.50 many
conflicting reports about a Ger
reply to President Wilson have
come out Of Holland and Switzer-
land during the past few days
that officials here are disposed
now to believe nothing on the
subject until the text of a note
is received.
Every version of the probable
nature of the reply under consid-
Grafton, if not adopted, indicates
that the Germans are preparing to
come forward with what they, at
least, will expect the world to be-
lieve is long step toward meet
ing conditions which President
Wilson has said must be met be-
fore there can be thought of an
armistice or discussion of peace.
Competent .spokesmen of the
government have said and reiter-
ated that there is to be no drawn
out series of exchanges. If the
German government seeks talk
without submission the president
is expected to refuse to continue
the discussion.
