London, Tuesday. Oct. 22.-The
editorial opinion Of the London morn

German reply is unacceptable.
The Daily Chronicle says.
"Solfs present proposal, as il is
not improbably may be only piece
of diplomatic huckstering, stage
along the downward pathway OF sur
render, which he desires to make
gradual. but knows to be inevitable.
well and good. We can wait until he

Should be done 20 encourage him or
his people to think that in any event
they can induce us TO meet them half

"Reading between the lines OF the
note as a whole. one is rather dis
posed TO take an inclined plane view
of Il. With It's mixture OF legality and
Difference, il seems a strange blend Of
pettifoggng. abieet and consciously
unreal. It is impossible to suppose
that it's author ever expected US TO
accept it, yet on the other hand, there
is nothing In il that suggests a desire
to break off the conversation or
sound trumpet call TO the German
people for further resistance.
I'VE do not know what procedure
Mr.. Wilson will follow whether he
viii continue the interchange of notes
by himself or whether he viii prefer
at this stage to associate the allied
governments formally with his
future replies. He is not likely to
be very easily satisfied by make.be-
lieves at democratization."

the people is being legally developed
and safeguarded The first act OF the
new Government has been to lay be-
fore the Reichstag 4 bill to alter the
Constitution of the Empire so that the
consent of he represe/ /tation of the
peope is required for decisions on
war and peace.
The permanence Of the new system
is, however, guaranteed not only by
constitutional safeguards, but also by
the mshakeable determination of the
German people, whose vast majority
stands behind these reforms and de-
mands their energetic continuance.
The question of the President
with whom he and the Governments
associated against Germany are deal
ing-is therefore answered in clear.
uncQuivooal manner by the statement
that the offer of peace and an arnis-
tice has come from Government
which is free from any arbitrary and
irresponsible influence. is supported
by the approval of an overwhelming
majority of the German people.
