WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-InternaL political conditions in Germany, and possibly in Austria Hungary, as we'll as the military situation, are expected to determine the nature and time of the German reply to President Wilson's communication of yesterday. The pres- ident's note probably already has reached Berlin through the Swiss for eign office.
 Reports reaching Washington today, through official sources by way of neu- tral countries not only indicated the existence of almost chaotic conditions in the central powers, but also said it was Field Marshal won Hindenburg, himself, who was responsible for the German government accepting the presidents peace terms and seeking an immediate armistice.
 It was said that at a recent meeting of the military leaders and the heads of the parties in the reichstag, von Hindenburg boldly declared that Ger many must have peace at once on the best terms she could get. He said the armies no longer had the necessary munitions and materials to continue the struggle, nor was there any source of supply so far as he was aware. Marshal For Amy Feace 1 In the light of this situation, the field marshal said he felt the time had come to try first for an armiStice, and then for peace, and he urged that this could be put in the light of a concession to the demands of the socialists and pacifists in Germany. Prince Maxi milan the chancellor, is reported to have strongly opposed such a course. | hut ir,ar Hindenburg's plans and the request
 for peace followed. No indications has
 been given, as to when replies will be
 made by President to the Austrian and 1 Turkish appeals for peace. It is un- | derstood that there is no ground for
 the apprehension which has arisen in
 Austria, that the president would refuse
 to ferly to Premier Burian's appeal
 because of the autocratic character of
 the Austrian government. It was said that this might well figure in a. final peace proposal, but would not
 operate to prevent the consideration of an armistice which Austria seeks.
 The same is true of the Turkish ap>
 peal.
 New Mexico Hits Hard
 SANTA FEE, N NJ, Oct. 15-New
 Mexico is not deceived by the present peace proposals from the Huns, but pleads for the denial of an armistice
 and urges the demand for unconditional surrender. Charles Springer chairman of the executive committee of the New , Mexico Council of Defense, tonight
 sent the following message to the Coun < cil of National Defense:
 Please convey to the president the following message, expressing the sem timent of the people of New Mexico as we interpret it:
 "'We are unalterably opposed to any armistice which would halt the vic torious advance of the allied armies and permit safe withdrawal of enemy troops to their own country, and to any ? settlement which will not require and 3 guarantee reparation for the frightful
 wrongs done during this war, and just
 punishment of the persons respon- l sible therefor. We believe it is not . safe to treat with the central powers . until they have laid down their arms . in unconditional surrender. We are ] behind the president with all our en- s ergy and resources for the speedy win y ming of the war and establishment of f a permanent peace.'
