Newspaper Comment on
 President Wilson's Reply

Memphis. Commercial-A The German empire has sinned its day away It was born and it must die In the lifetime of William the Second Presi- dent Wilson has pronounced it's death sentence. It is now up to France, Eng land and 110.000, ,O00 people of the United States to execute the sentence. It is a war to death or an unconditional sur render. But we cannot win this war by abusing the Germans and by boasting. Our first duty today is to back the President by oversubscribing to the Liberty Loan.
 Shreveport Times: Enthusiastic ap- proval of every statement and oondi- tion set forth in President Wilson's re- ply to the German peace overtures will resound throughout the country coming from the hearts and minds of all loyal Americans. His reply was just what we hoped and desired it would be.
 Fort Worth Record: Emperor Will helm of Germany lifted the lid off of hell your years ago. Wilson has clamped it down to bury the terrors and horrors of the inferno. It is safe to trust the President Potsdam has its answer.
 Beaumont Enterprise: President Will sons statement to Germany ought to be, and probably is. as highly acceptable and gratifying to the allied world as it is discomforting to Berlin.
 Oklahoman. Oklahoma City: It is a blow at autocracy right from the shoulder.
 Tulsa (oklahoma) World: The Presi- dents answer to Germany's second note indicates that he has been hold ing his ear to the ground and has heard the rumble of public sentiment; that he realizes now, if he never did before, that the temper of the people and of our allies is unalterably opposed to peace tainted with compromise; that they will be satisfied with nothing less than unconditional surrender
 Pine Bluff (Arkansas) Graphic: Noth- ing but the abdication of the Kaiser and a complete surrender will satisfy the entente. America has spoken and it will be backed up by millions of her people.
 Mobile Register: The answer of the President passes the issue to Germany and will leave no doubt of the deter mined purpose of the allied governments in the minds of an enemy people whose only conception of wrong is that which a military army cannot do. Having ad- mitted defeat, they will now realize they must suffer the penalties thereof.
 In response to the steel of Woodrow Wilson will spark the flint of Americas S manhood.
 New York Sun: We believe the coun- try has understood him (the PresidenD to mean that the Hohenzollern dynasty shall go. . The Presidents reply should hearten our soldiers in the field. It should hearten and stimulate the great
