The order of the Crown Prince is
shorter and almost curt. It says:

in command engages his responsibility

Another order which emanates from
the German High Command, says:

agreed upon the terms under which it
will be possible to enter into negotia-

observed that naval questions have
never been dealt with in any negotia

Germany, and they are of first impor-
tance from the Allies viewpoint.
"The idea of the freedom of the seas
as understood by Germany" says the
Reuter- dispatch, "is not matter that

tions precedent to an armisUice must
include the question of sea power, as

Germany has always limited her re-

"America, Great Britain. France and
Italy owe so much to sea power in
carrying OH the war and in national
development that they cannot omit con-
sideration of sea power from the dis

T ONDON, Oct. 23.--In no circum.

safety. security and unity of ths
British Empire that Germany's col
onies should be returned to her, de-
clared A. J. Balfour, the British For
eign Secretary, in g. speech at the
luncheon OF the Australian and New
Zealand Club to-day.
MIR. Balfour said it was absolutely
essential that the communications Of
the British Empire should remain
safe. He asked if the German col
onies were returned what security
was there that their original poses
sors would not use them as bases
for piratical warfare.
The doctrine that the colonies
should not be returned, Mr.. Balfour
claimed, was not selfish and imperial
istic. 1t was one in which the in
terests Of the world were almost as
much concerned as the interests OF
the empire itself. If the empire was
TO remain united it was absolutely
necessary that communication be-

WASHINGTON, Oct..s.2S. - More
than 100000 Americans have. been
transported to battlehelds overseas,
according to letter from Sec
retary of War Baker to the President,
made public at the White House to-
night, as the note to Germany was
being handed to the newspaper men at
the State Department.
Mr.. Bakers letter was as follows:
My dear Mr.. Presidents: More than
100000 American soldiers have
sailed from the ports in this country
to participate in the war overseas.
In reporting this fact to you, I feel
sure that you will be interested in
the following data showing the prog
ress Of our military effort.
In my letter of July 1, 1918, I in
formed you that between May s, 1917,
and June 80, 1918, over a million men
had either been landed in France OF
were enroute thereto. Since July /.
1918, embarkations by months have
been as foll0WS:
July, 306,195; August, 290.S1S; Sep
tember, 261,415; October l to 21,
131,398. Total, 9S9,Sle. Embarked
to July l, 1913, 1,O19,115. Grand
total, 2,O0S,93l.
In our overseas operations | feel
that we have good reason to be proud
ar1 %honlful ~ fha reS,,1tS ohtoinod
Our losses have been exceedingly
small, considering the size of the
force transported, and this is due to
the efficient protection given Ameri-
can conveys by the naval forces. We
also have been greatly assisted in the
dispatch of troops abroad by the allo-
cation of certain vessels from our
allies, principally those of Great
Britain.
President Wilson, in acknowledge ng
the letter from Secretary Baker, wrote
I am very glad to have your letter
of this morning reporting that more
than two million American soldiers
have sailed from the ports of this
country to participate in the war
overseas. | am sure that this will
be matter Of deep qualification and
reinsurance to the country, and that
every one will join me in congratu-
lating the War and Navy depart
ments upon the steady accomplish
ment in this all important applica-
tion of force to the liberation of the
world.

After the Truce

Washington Is Disap-
pointed at Reply; In
sists Talk Should
Stop at Once
By Carter Field

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Pres-
ident Wilson tonight agreed to for-
ward the German governments pro
posal of an arrnistice to the Allies
for their consideration, adding that
the terms of airy such armistice
must be such shat Germany could
be compelled to comply with any
peace terms agreed upon, and must
further be such that Germany could
not possibly renew active hostilities.
This phase OF the note caused
much surprise here tonight. in view
of the Presidents statement. IN his
note of October 8, the "query''
that "The President feels bound to
say with regard to the suggestion
of an armistice, that he would not
feel at liberty to propose a cessa-
tlon of arms to the governments
with which the government of the
United States is associated against
the Central Powers, so long as the
the armies of those powers are upon
their soil. The good faith of an,-
discussion would manifestly depend
upon the consent of the Central
Powers Immediately to withdraw
their forces everywhere from in
vaded territory"
Expected Brief Reply
Those who had hoped for brief
reply demanding the unconditional
surrender of the German armies
and navy, with the comment, if anv
was needed, that Germany had for
feited all right to be trusted, and
must herself rely on the honor and
good faith of the Allies to deter
mine righteous peace terms, were
bitterly disappointed at to-night's
note.
1t was pointed out that the Pres
ldent's note opened wide the door to
discussion as TO the terms of the
armistice, if the Allies should ac-
cept it. The Supreme War Coun-
Gil at Versailles, with President
Wilson voting, decided recently par
TALLY upon the terms of an armis-
tlce, should one ever be asked by the
Germans. This provided for the
occupation by the Entente troops Of
Metz, Strassburg, Cobienz and other
German cities near the frontier.
The Presidents language in to-
nights note, as construed here, is
regarded as much more drastic. It
would leave the Entente in "a posi-
ton to enforce any arrangements
that may be entered into and to
make a renewal of Lostilities on the
part of Germany impossible"
Adverse Comment Looked For
Indications from private comments
of Senators tonight were that there
would be more immediate bitter com.
ment on the Presidents note wher
the Senate convenes tomorrow than
there has ever been before on ans
note the President has ever written
or any speech he has ever made.

perare attempt would be made b,
