washington, Oct. 9-President Will
son has met Germany's peace note
with move which will at one stroke
develop whether her proposal is sin
cere or merely a pretension, and, II
pretension 1t be, fully justify for all
time before the world the prolonging
OF the war with force to the uttermost,
force without stint or limit. AT the
some time the President has left wide
open the door to peace.
The text of the communication
handed to the charge of Switzerland In
Washington follows:
Sir: | have the honor to acknowi-
edge, on behalf of the President, your
note of Oct. 6, inclosing the communl-
cation from the German government
to the President, and | am instructed
by the President to request you to
make the following communication to
the imperial German chancellor:
"'Before making reply to the re-
quest OF the imperial German govern
ment and in order that that reply shall
be candid and straightforward as the
momentous interests involved require,
the President of the United States
deems it necessary to assure himself
of the exact meaning OF the note O
the imperial chancellor.
Does the imperial chancellor mean
that the imperial German government
accepts the terms laid down by the
President in his address to the Con
gress of the u tied States on Jal.
last and in subsequent addresses, and
that its object in entering into discus
sions would be only to agree upon the
practical details of their application?
"The President feels bound to say
with regard TO the suggestion of an
armistice that he would not feel at
liberty to propose a cessation of arms
to the governments with which the
government of the United States is as
sociated against the central powers,
so long as the armies of those powers
are upon their soil The good faith OF
ary discussion would manifestly de-
pend upon the consent of the central
powers Immediately to withdraw their
forces everywhere from invaded te4-
| ritory.
"The President also feels that he
is justified in asking whether the i'm
perial chancellor is speaking merely
for the constituted authorities OF the
empire who have so far conducted the
war. He deems the answer to these
questions vital from every point OF
view.
Accent, sir. the renewed assur-
ances of nv high consideration

In the deepest night when we cry:
