THIRD POINT
EXPLAINED BY
THE PRESIDENT
No Restriction Placed Upon
Internal Economic
Policies. .+

Washington, Oct. 2s.-President
Wilson replied today to Republican
contentious that the third Of his IA
peace terms is free trade plank, by
explaining that in demanding the re-
moval Of economic barriers he meant
to suggest no restriction upon internal
economic policies, but only that what
ever tariff, high or low. any nation
might deem necessary, it should ap-
ply equally to all foreign nations.
The president made. the explanation
in letter to Senator Simmons of
North Carolina, chairman of the sem
ate finance committee. who had writ
ten him asking for a statement "be-
cause certain Republican leaders are
attempting to- make partisan use" Of
the paragraph. -
Weapons of economic discipline
and punishment" the president wrote.
.'shouldsbe left to the joint action Of
alt natlbns tor the purpose of pun.
ttshanE 1shose WHO will not submit to. q
general program Of Justice and sequaa-
ity.'s''5 He added that TO inject ! the
bogey Of free trade, which is not in
volved at. all, was to attempt to divert
the mind of the nation from broad
principle of a durable peacej and that
it. was lamentable that momentous is
sues Of this solemn hour should be
seized upon in an effort to bend them
to partisan service.

SENATE OPENS
DEBATE OVER
TALK OF PEACE
Senator Knox of Pennsylva
MIA Attacks Presidents
Appeal to Public.

Washington, Oct. 2s.-General de-
bate on peace and partisan politics
broke out today in the senate.
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, Re-
publican, and former secretary of
state, attacked President Wilson's ap-
peal for the return of Democratic
congress, declaring it raised the ques-
tion whether the will of the president
or the will OF the American people is
to determine the policy of the United
States in ending the war and founding
peace. He said a spirit of "partisan-
ship and secrecy had marked the
conduct of the administration.
when there is talk of abdication
OF the kaiser" said the senator, "it is
a peculiar moment to purpose that the
American people should abdicate their
right to have opinions or that the sem
ate and house should abdicate their
sworn and independent duties"
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska,
/ chairman of the foreign relations COM
mittee, Immediately replied to Senator
Knox and the discussion became gem
eral with questions and statements
| fired atthe speaker from the Repub-
lican side.
Senator Hitchcock said the presi-
dent had pursued the logical course.
citing now he had congress into joint
session to tell it in ii principles the
terms which he believed were the es-
sentials upon which the United States
should insist as basis Of peace These
principles, he said, were accepted then
by all parties as being in keeping with
American ideals.
Referring to Republican contentious
that in his third principle against
economic barriers, the president was
endeavoring to write free trade into
the peace treaty, Senator Hitchcock
read a letter from the president say
ing he did not consider it worth
while to answer the Republican criti-
cisms; that it would be impossible to
follow up "all of the perversions and
Misrepresentation that some of the
Republicans are now indulging in"
The president said his words left every
nation free to determine it's own eco
| nomic policy, except that it's policy
must be the same toward all nations
and that in his judgment, the matter
could be left safely in the hands of
| ''our fellow countryment who can read
| English"

TEUToNIC. REPLY
WAS UNEXPECTED.

Washington, Oct 28.-Germanys
reply to President Wilson's last note
was rather unexpected here and pend
ing the receipt of the official text
through the Swiss legation comment
was withheld. Generally, however
the note was not regarded as one re-
Quiring an answer.
The diplomatic situation is just
where 1T was when President Wilson
informed the German government that
its request for an armistice and peace
had been transmitted to the Allied
governments. The next step was the
submission of terms of an armistice
to Germany.
Announcement from London that
Premier Lloyd George and Foreign
Secretary Balfour had left for France
with naval and military advisers fore
shadowed an early meeting of the su-
preme war council at Versailles.
While the military and naval members
of the council are drawing terms of
an armistice which will be tantamount
to surrender by Germany, the politi-
cal representatives OF the Entente
powers are expected to discuss the In
dividual peace views Of their govern
ment with a view to formulating a
complete program to be presented If
Germany accepts the terms for armi-
stice. sf

In the resignation Of General Lud-
endorf, Germany loses what often
has been described as her military
BRAIN"
Unknown before the war. General
Enrich Ludendorff sprang into prom
inence in the fall of 1914 as chief Of
staff to Field Marshal Won Hinden-
against the Russians. When Won Hin
denburg was given the chief COM
mand in August, 1914. Ludendorn was
appointed first quartermaster general.
but his position in reality has been
chief Of staff and collaboration with
Won Hindenburg.
Soon after his appointment as frst
quartermaster general. Ludendorn
began to be looked upon as the real
boss" of Germany and was recogniz-
ed as the representative Of the PAN
Germans at great headquarters. It
was Ludendorff who brought about
the retirement of Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg and he was reput-
ed to have been responsible for the
appointment to the chanceilorsh1p Of
Michaelis and Won Hertling, both of
whom were described at stopgaps.
The generals rule as first Quartermas-
ter general has amounted to almost
military dictatorship.
General Ludendor6 was reported
to have been the originator Of the
plan Of the German Offensive Of 1918.
The plan called for offensive opera
tons on the western front which
split the BrttfSh and French armies
and compel the Allies to beg for peace
before the strength OF the American,
army could be available to any great
extent. It was planned that II the Of
fensive failed then Germany would
resort to diplomatic campaign in
order tn QAcfaPa V1AANA
