NEW QUIBBLE
BY GERMANY
Hopes United States Will
Approve Of No De-
mand
WITH
GERMAN HONOR
Reply Received in London
and Transmitted to
Washington

London, Oct. 2l-The German reply
to President Wilson's note, the text Of
which was received here to-day by wire
less, says Germany hopes the United
States will approve of no demand which
would be irreconcilable with the honor of
the German people and with the opening
OF the way TO peace of justice
Germany protests against the refer
ences Of President Wilson to illegal and
inhumane acts. Denial is made that
the Germany navy purposely destroyed
liteboats with passengers. The German
government proposes that the facts be
cleared up by neutral commissions.
Germany has dispatched orders to sub
marine commanders precluding the tor.
pedoing Of passenger ships.
The German government suggests to
President Wilson that an opportunity
be brought about for fixing the details
of the evacuation Of occupied territory.

railroad running through Avesnes and
Berlaimont. This road is the principal
avenue Of communication between the

striving to stop the American drive on
the line from the Argonne to the Meuse.
