Answer to Germany

In reply 10 the communication of
the German government dated the
18th instant, which you handed me
today, have the honor TO request
you TO transmit the following
answer:
The unqualified acceptance by the
present German government and by
a large majority of the Reichstag of
the terms laid down by the Presi e
dent Of hte United States of America
in his address TO the Congress of the
United states on the Sth of January,
1913. and in his subsequent ad-
dresses, justilies the President in
making a frank and direct statement
Of his decision with regard TO the
communications Of the German gov
eminent of the 9Th and 18th Of Octo-
Der, 1913.
II must DO clearly understood that
the. process of evacuation and the
conditions Of an armistice are mat
/ tiers which must be left TO the
judgment and advice of the military
advisers Of the government of the
| United States and the allied govern
ments, and the President feels it his
duty 10 say that no arrangement
can be accepted by the government
of the United states which does not
provide absolutely satisfactory safe
guards and guarantees of the main
tenance of the present military SUI
premacy of the armies of the United
States and the allies in the field.
He feels confident that he can
safely assume that this will also be
the judgment and decision Of the
allied governments.
The President feels that il is also
his duty to add that neither the
government of the United States.
nor, he is quite sure, the govern
monts with which the government
Of the United States is associated as
a beiligercnt, will consent TO consider
an armlstlce so long as the armed
forces of Germany continue the il
legal and inhumane practices which
they still persist in.
AZ the very time that the German
government approaches the govern
nient of the United States with pro-
posals of peace its submarines are
engaged in sinking passenger ships
at sea and not the ships alone, but
the very boats in which their pas
scngers and crews seek to make
their way TO safety; and in their
present enforced Withdrawal from
Flanders and France the German
armies are pursuing course OF
wanton destruction which has al
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1918-10-17

ways been regarded as in direct vio-
lation of the rules and practices of
civilized warfare. Cities and viii
lagos if not destroyed are being
stripped Of all they contain not
only, but often of their very in
habitants.
The nations associated against
Germany cannot be expected TO
agree TO a cessation of arms while
acts Of inhumanity, spoilation and
desOlation are being continued
which they justly look upon with
horror and with burning hearts.
IL is necessary, also, in order that
there may be no possibility Of mis-
understanding, that the President
should very solemnly call the at
tention of the government of Ger
many TO the language and plain in
tent of one of the terms of peace
which the German government has
now accepted. IL is contained in the
address of the President delivered
at Mount Vernon on the Fourth of
July last.
IL is as follows:
THE destruction of every arbi-
trary power anywhere that can sep
arately, secretly and of its single
choice disturb the peace of the
world; or, if it cannot be presently
destroyed, at least its reduction to
virtual impotency."
The power which has hitherto
controlled the German nation is of
the sort here described. II is within
the choice of the German nation to
alter it. The Presidents words just
quoted naturally constitute con-
dition precedent to peace. if peace
is to come by the action of the Ger
man people themselves. The Pres
ident feels bound TO say that the
whole process of peace will, in his
judgment depend upon the def
niteness and the satisfactory char
acter of the guarantees which can
be given in this fundamental mat
ter. It is Indispensable that the
governments associated against Ger
mGiiy should know beyond a perad-
venture with whom they are deal
ing.
+ The President will make a sepa-
rate reply TO the royal and imperial
government of Austria Hungary.
Accept, sir, the renewed assurance
of my high consideration.

World News

The news of supreme Importance
during the week is the request Of
Germany for an armistice. the ques-
lions of President Wilson and the
German Chancelor's reply. 10 all
appearances, Germany is willing TO
accept the terms suggested as con-
dition for an armistice. The sue
cesses Of the Allies on all of the war
fronts have been continuous and de-
cisive; and the attitude of Germany's
allies comes close to desertion.
