PRESIDENT GUIDED
BY ALLIED OPINION
CabIed Messages on Way as
He Calls in His Chiefs !
for Consultation.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright, 1918. by the New York Evening
Post, Inc.)
President Wilson was not yet ready
today to take the public into his con-
fidence as to the next demands which
he will make upon Germany. He lis
tened to many suggestions from his
cabinet yesterday and went into con-
ference at noon today with the heads
of the Army and Navy. Secretary
Baker was compelled to go to Cleve-
land last night, owing to the illness
of his wife. and Gen. Peyton March,
chief of staff, represented the military.
while Secretary Daniels was available
for discussion of the naval phases of
the situation. =
In the meantime, too, cablegrams
from American diplomatic representa-
tives abroad were expected late to-
day to apprise the President of
opinion in the allied countries. What
the final determination Of the United
States government will be nobody
was in a position to say early $oday.
not even the President himself.
Points of View Developed.
Two distinct points of view have
developed, either one of which is like
ly to be followed. Each starts from
a different premise. but seeks to ar
rive at the same result.
The first construes the German
:ote as a partial but not a complete
come down, and that if the allies con-
tinue to show a united front and
insist upon a literal compliance with
the terms of President Wilson's de
cision," the whole German resistance,
political and military, will soon col
lapse and bring surrender and peace.
The second point of view assumes
that the Germans are in the mood
to surrender, and have. in fact, al
ready done so in their acceptance Of
the Presidents fourteen terms and the
implication in the last message that
it is the intention Of the German
people to rid themselves of their
autocracy.

given that the only question for imme-
date consideration is whether there shall
