President Wilson'S answer to the Ger
man chancellor is perhaps the mildest
manuered document that ever expressed
an implacable dcterninali ion. The gen
eral feeling, if the press and other COM
ment on the matter Is to he taken as an
indication, was that the right answer
would be simply a hot demand for un-
conditional surrender But now that the
thing has been done. every one, we be-
l,ve. viii recognize il as the logical
STRAIGHTFORWARD thing to do. what this
country. what the Allied world wants to
know is whether the German offer is
piece of trckcry or genuine proffer OF
peace on such terms as the Allies viii
grant. If the chancellor answers these
questions uncduvocally we shall know.
If he answers them eQuivocally. II he
avoids or cvades or attempts to confuse
them. then we shall also know.
