PRESIDENT HAS DECIDED
ON PEACE NOTE REPLY


washington, Oct. 22.-President
Wilson has fully decided on his atti.
.,de toward the latest German peace
note his course Of action was map
nod out at conferences last night
with Secretary of State Lansing and
with other officials today. He is ex-
nectei to make a definite announce
msnt deaMng, with the matter late
,odav or tomorrow Until the presi-
dent decides, however, to take the
country into his confidence sugges-
inns of action that he win take must
bs entirely conjectural. Officials
close to the administration content
ed themselves simply with saying that
the president's reply would not be long
delayed. Pressed to indicate what
posttion be would take they refused
to make any statement The feeling
here in Washington was that there
was no occasion for any undue haste
in the matter.
The military situation so far as the
allies are concerned WIS working out
splepdidly. The political pressure at
home in Germany was continually
getting stronger on the kaiser and
his advisors. The radical element
lead by Macmillan Harden, and 9TH
er noted German socialists, were in
creasing their pressure to compel the
government to make an immediate
peace, no matter what the cost Con-
sequently officials and diplomats here
were plainly more concerned with the
progress Of events in Germany than
they were in what action the presi-
dent may take in making it plain that
the new German note is entirely un.
satisfactory.
official Text Here.
Washington, Oct. 22.-Frederick
oderlin, Swiss Charge d'affaires, mott
fled the state department at 10 o'clock
today that he had received the Off
cial text Of the German reply
He was informed that Mr.. Lansing
would receive. him At his convenience
and was expected to deliver 1t in
person before noon.
Officials said that there would be
no delay in answering the German
note, when informed that it was in
the hands Of the Swiss Charge ready
for presentation.
The reply, they said, would be sat
isfactory TO the people generally.
1t was explained that the Presi-
dent has been In constant touch with
the entente allies and that solid
diplomatic front will be presented in
all diplomatic action, exactly the
same as Is being presented on mill
tary lines.
When asked whether there was any
likelihood that the president would
refer the Germans to General Foch,
50 far as their armistice suggestions
were concerned, officials said that
this was for the President himself to
decide.
The Presidents reply, 1t was en-
phasized, will be designed still fur
Their to disintegrate the German
home morale"
