Note IS Test OF
HUN PEACE WILL
SAYS LONDON
Press Practically Unit in Sup
port of Presidents Answer
to ArmiStiCe Plea of
Germany.

London, Oct. 25.-Commenting
upon President Wilson's note to
Germany, the Daily News says:
THE sincerity of the German peo-
pies desire for peace is today
brought to the final test. If the
Germans accept the presidents
terms there is no reason why fight
ing should not end in less than
a week. Mr.. Wilson. beyond ques-
ton, speaks for every allied ma
ton"
The Telegraph commends Presi-
dent Wilson's correct attitude to-
ward the allies, especially welcom-
ing his reference of the matter of
declaring an armistice to the mill
tary leaders.
Under the caption, "The Retort
Courteous" the Post says:
President Wilson's note is
masterpiece of diplomacy. 1t rivets
the German government to an un-
qualified acceptance of his peace
terms. In what may be called the
presidents ultimatum he again Of
fers the German people an oppor-
tunity to set themselves as nearly
right as may be and provides at the
same time some guarantee of good
faith"
Greatest Of Series.
The Express describes Mr.. Will
sons note as the greatest of the
series of his mastery state papers.
ut is Supremacy great" the news
paper says, because it is simple,
straightforward, unequivocal and
candid. No man can quite tell what
DR.. Solf and Prince Macmillan
really mean. No one can fail to
what President Wilson
means"
After eulogizing the note of Pres
ident Wilson as an Admirable state
ment," the Times expresses salts
faction that it reveals the closest
possible agreement between Ameri-
can and British views. The news
paper thinks at the moment there is
more than a chance that the Ger
mans will ask an armistice. The
Times is gratihed at the manifesto
tons of close cooperation between
the military commanders on the
front, which "the presence
of Colonel House, who has arriv /
in France, will make for political

views and perhaps to reconcile ap-

Later Colonel House may take a
place at the council table if Presi-
dent Wilson desires. The president

is regarded as possible that he may

America has been returned victorious
no man will be able to stand beside
the great man who has led this
country to victory in spite of all the
obstacles that he has faced. That
man is Woodrow Wilson. All the
rest of the men at Washington are
doing their best to bring results for
the best interests of their country
despite the mistakes that have been
made.

mistakes Of detail arise from the
tremendous task imposed upon peace

has been preparing for fifty years.

prepare in six months she would
have made as many mistakes as the
United States.

1t cannot be said that these men
do not know they are aiding the
enemy when they do these things.
They would sacrifice their country's
interest to gain their personal ends,
even if those ends be only to throw
themselves into the limelight of pub
hcity.
1t is impossible to believe that
Senator Chamberlain of the Senate
committee on military affairs did not
know of the red tape entanglements
in the ordnance bureau of the War
Department long before Secretary
Baker took office and how hard Ba-
ker has tried to cut this red tape
stuff and adopt "direct action" as it
were in war preparations. Cham
berlain must have known a long time
ago of the antagonism of General
Crozer, chief of the Ordnance bu-
reau, to the Lewis machine gun, its
rejection, and the acceptance of an
other type that was never tested in
action. He must have known these
things, but he wanted to show the
country how big man he thinks he
is, so he "took a shot" at Secretary
Baker and started the people of the
United States and their allies and
their enemies to wondering whether
Baker is criminally CROOKED" or
grossly incompetent.
Such men as George Chamberlain
and some others of his ilk in Con-
gress are aiding the enemy more
than all the enemies agents and
spies in this country.
