Wilson Reply Hailed by London as a
punch"

London, Ostober 25.-Evening
newspapers greet President Wilson S
reply to Germany with unqualified
approval The Westminster Gazette
says:
President Wilson has taken the
German Government at its word and
proposes a course OF action which
must be a test of its sincerity. We
will not speculate what the terms of
an armi>tice, as defined by President
" ilson. may be, They will be laid
down by Marshal l'och and the allied
and American commanders.
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
The world will realize once more
that President Wilson carries an iron
hand. under velvet glove. 1t is
needless to say that his answer will
be Endorsed with enthusiasm by the
Peoples and armies of all the civilized
powers. The issue within Germany
itself may be FASTENED by the presi-
dents frank intimation that the pres
ent constitutional changes carry no
convincing mark OF permanence or
sincerity"

outside OF the conflict and thus best
adapted for harmonizing interests
among the allies and for imposing

worked out or that any guarantees
either exist, or are in contemplation,
that the alterations of principle and
of practice now partially agreed upon
will be permanent. Moreover, Vt
does not appear that the heart of the
present difficulty has been reached.
1t may be that future wars have been
brought under the. control of the
German people. but the present war
has not been; and it is with the pres
cnt war we are dealing. 1t is evident
that the German people have no
means OF commanding the acquies-
cense OF the military authorities of
the empire in the popular will; that
the power OF the king of Prussia to
control the policy of the empire is TN
impaired; that the determining initia-
tive still remains with those who have
hitherto been the masters of Ger
many Feeling that the whole peace
OF the world depends now on plain
speaking and straightforward action,
the president deems it his duty to say,
without any attempt to soften what
may seen, harsh words, that the ma
tions of the world do not and cannot
trust the word of those who have
hitherto been the masters of German
policy, and to point out once more
that. in concluding peace and attempt
ing to undo the infinite injuries and
injustices Of this war, the government
ri the United States cannot deal with
any but veritable representatives OF
the German people, who have been
assured OF genuine constitutional
sanding as the real rulers Ger
