The President continues the correspond

view OF the acceptance by the German
Government " the terms OF peace OF

This message Is the strongest note
that has come from the President He
Is getting nearer and nearer to uncon-
dltional surrender.
He for the first time fully recognizes
the part our ALLEN are TO play In the
peace making. He holds tenaciously to
the address OF January 8, hut he sur
rounds the German hopes based on the
fourteen points with so many conditions
that Germany will not now cherish them
80 fondly, His description of what he
would sanction Is so near unconditional
surrender that even a German can see
II, and, we hope, will stop sending notes.
