factory to England and

London, Oct. l2-Germany's o
ceptance of President Wilson's
terms in no wise means that her ac-
ceptance will be met by Great Bril-
tain and France. The restoration
of Ship for ship" from the German
mercantile marine for all submar-
inc losses is a British principle which
apparently is accepted by all the
British people.
Commenting on the reply the Sum
day Observer says:
The first issue for us is the mari
time question. We ought to insist
that the German submarine cam
paign should now be marked out for
special treatment in immediate con-
nection with any peace preliminary.
If any military armistice is accom-
panied by concrete guarantees, so
must a naval armistice. We ought
to insist, before there can be any
suspension of hostilities. that the
German submarines shall be sur
rendered to the allies and America"
News of the World says:
"Any cessation of military opera
tons at this stage would compro-
mise all our military success. They
will not enjoy such respite. Foch
and his gallant armies, now hot in
pursuit of the enemy, are not to be
thus easily cheated out of the fruits
Of their splendid victories"

Compromise to Be

Says German Paper

Amsterdam, Oct. l2.-Comment-

to President Wilson, the Hamburg
Fremdenblatt says:
THE German government has &C
cepted President Wilon's entire
program without exception as a ba-
sis for peace, and the aim of fur
Their deliberations must be to reach
a compromise on practical subjects.
AS regards the evacuation of oc-
cupied territory an agreement can
be reached if it can be guaranteed
that Belgium will not again become
a war theater."

response to Germany's peace note.
the Frankfort Gazette asks whether
the president demands the evacua-
ton of all the occupied territories,
declaring that the result of this
would be the delivery of those in
the east to the bolsheviki.
The Polish government, the Ga
zette says, already has requested
that the German troops remain as
police force and thinks that with
out doubt the Baltic provinces will
do the same.

Turkey No Longer Hun Ally.

London, Oct. l2-Germanys re-
ply to President Wilson apparently
gives one statement of news. 1t as
sociates stria-Hungary, but not
Turkey, with the German govern
men. The implication seems to be
that unless the German secretary for
foreign affairs has written the mes
sage with unusual haste, Turkey is
no longer Germany's ally.
The phrase ito agree upon prac-
tical details of the application of
these terms" is on its face straight
reply to President Wilson. 1t was
not unexpected here, but is likely
to be regarded with suspicion. Eng
fish papers have said that a con-
ference based on such a formula
may be considered by the Germans
to mean an extended debate.
Some of the most important Ger
man papers, in latest quotations
cabled from Holland, persist in US
ing the word compromise" with
reference to the application of the
presidents principles.
But the feeling in London is that
it will be hard for the allied armies
to hold their hand in the hour of
seeming victory.
Unconditional surrender" is the
watchword much more appealing to
the British people in this hour than
any commission to arrange for
evacuation. Events in the past week,
particularly the sinking of the Lem
ster, have steeled British hearts
against a compromise.
There is strong belief here,
voiced even by the Compromising
papers, that there are yet two pow
ers in Germany-one power of the
new government, the other of the
army, and that it is not yet de-
cided which are supreme.
Germany Deeply Impressed.

Importance of the matter made it
necessary to submit the document

The news that the German reply
was written in an accommodating
spirit has made a great impression
everywhere, it is added.

loom up in the text of the unoffi-
cial copy is whether Chancellor
Macmillan and Foreign Secretary
Solf can in reality represent the
German people as the reply declares
they do. President Wilson's esti-
mate, and the estimate of the states
men Of the co-belligerents, on the
safety of dealing with the heads of
the German government have often
been repeated. They have been de-
nounced as unworthy of trust, and
not to be expected to keep promises
Whether President Wilson and the
entente allies regard the government
now headed by Macmillan and
which has Solf for its secretary of
state for foreign affairs, one which
can speak under any circumstances
for the German people and bind
them to the peace terms which the
anies will impose, remains to be
seen. There was no official express
sion on that point in Washington
tonight in President Wilson's abb
sence. Probably no one in the
United States but he can give the
answer.
Reading through the phrases of
the unofficial text every one here i'm
mediately was struck with the ques-
ton of what must have happened in
Germany recently to make such an
answer possible.

Paris, Oct. 1.-THE tendency

eventual fall of Emperor William
as a concession which the Ger
mans would be disposed to allow
to the allies if they demanded it.

to President Wilson's note was re-
ceived by wireless at army head
quarters tonight.
The news of Germany's accept
ance of President Wilson's terms
was sent from army headquarters
to the headquarters of the various
corps and thence to the command
ing officers at division headquarters
where it was expected it would be
relayed to the men in the most for

1t was expected, however. that
the news would not reach the men
in the advanced positions, or even
those some distance behind the ex-
IRENE front, before morning and
perhaps late in the day at some few
positions.
Every signal corps wire was util-
lied to spread the news and run
ners were detailed to supplement
this means of communication.

back under the continuous pressure
that Marshal Foch is applying.
Douai, the most important of the
northern French cities within the inn
mediate scope of the allied thrust,
with the exception of the fallen
Cambria and the threatened Lille,
seems about to pass into British
hands.
Lille itself, the greatest of the
French manufacturing towns, is in
none too secure a position. The
wedge below Douai is threatening
the whole line running north past
Lille into Flanders and the Ger
mans are palpably worried, also
over the prospect of General Plum
er's second British army and K,"S
Albert's Belgian forces on their
right flank above Lille springing
into renewed activity.
In the south, General Petain's
armies and the Americans under
General Pershing have struck re-
newed heavy blows against the Ger
man left in the great pocket formed
by the German positions from Yer
dun around the Laon curve to the
sea. The Chemin Des Danes no
longer stands as bulwark for Laon
in the Aisne region and to the east,
in the Champagne, the French, by
swift advance of from three to
four miles in a day, have entered
Vouziers and carried their line so
far north that the communications
between the German northern arm
les and those east of the Cham
payne bid fair to be cut.
On the extreme allied right in
the active battle area the American
first army is keeping up its ham
mering tactics and daily gaining
more of the most valuable ground
remaining to the Germans in north
ern France-that threatening their
communication lines from the home
soil through the Metz and Mont
medy regions.

Hunger Fastening
Fall Of Bolshevik
Regime in Russia

Stockholm, Friday, Oct. Ii
Hunger is fastening the downfall
of the bolshevik regime in Russia
far more than the feeble and disor-
ganized efforts of the opposing po-
litical parties. The political strife
in the isolated soviet republic is now
becoming a pitched battle for bread,
in which all political theories and
theorists are lost and Moscow and
Petrograd are regarded as monsters
trying to steal the meager food sup
ply of the rural districts.
On the eve of its first anniversary
the bolshevik dictatorship of the
proletariat faces the most terrible
famine in modern history and the
final test has come of the ability of
soviet arms to maintain what Mix
OLAF Lenine, the bolshevik premier,
calls organized hunger"

much artillery fire, but a threatened

GERMAN REPLY
GIVEN TO PUBLIC
Inadvertently
Text Flashed Throughout the
Country Before the Note
Reached Wilson or the
State Department.
By Associated Press.

Washington, Oct. l2.-All official
Washington was at a complete loss
to understand the text OF the note
becoming public in this way. Meth
er the State department nor the
Swiss legation, which is looking af-
ter German interests, had received
the reply and it was very evident
that it had been made public through
faux pas.
There was. however, no attempt
to dispute lis authenticity and the
diplomats to whom the dispatch
should have been sent could only ex-
press regret that the dispatch had
been made public. Early this eve
ming the newspaper correspondents
were summoned by telephone to the
Office of the diplomatic mission
where many diplomatic dispatches
are received every day. An attache
there gave out copies of the dispatch
in the regular way bearing the usual
distinguishing marks. 1t was at
once flashed to the country.
Blunder Regretted.
When the high officials of the
office learned that the dispatch had
been made public their distress and
regret was almost boundless, much
as they were gratlhed by its appar-
ent contents.
The contents of the dispatch we're
at once communicated to President
Wilson in New York and to Sec
rotary Lansing here.
1t is very probable that the text
of the official communication may
differ in some respects as to VERDI
age from the unofficial copy given
out tonight, but it is regarded as
highly improbable that it will show
any substantial differences.
At first reading, the text would
seem to answer in manner which
might lead to peace all the Ques-
tons asked of Chancellor Maximil-
ian in his inquiry which was sent
as an answer to the German peace
note received here last Monday.
In this inquiry the president de-
ciared he would not propose an
armistice while troops of the cen
trail powers remained on invaded
soil; he asked whether Prince Max
imilian accepted the terms of peace
as laid down or merely wanted to
discuss them as a basis for nego-
tiation," and finally he asked wheth-
er the chancellor merely represent
ed the militartists who have been
conducting the war.
Door to Peace Still Open.
These inquiries the German COVE
eminent seems to answer, in a man
ner which at least has not closed
the door to peace. The evacuation
of invaded territory pending declar-
alton of an armistice the answer &C
cepts; it says the terms Of peace
are accepted and makes no further
mention of basis for negotiation"

speaking for the German govern
