Door on Peace Open To Kaiser
Only When Surrender Is

New York, Nov. !. 1918
President Wilson's forcible reply to
Germany was eminently satisfactory.
The door to peace is open only when
the kaiser %surrenders; lays down his
arms and %irrevocably accepts Presi-
dent Wilson 5 peace articles. Germany
is. Of course, not ready to take any
such step; and fighting may continue
several months, or may end in a few
weeks should General Foch win a decis-
i've victory, as eventually he certainly
will. Our troops and those of the allies
continue their victorious progress un-
checked. Absolute and unconditional
surrender Of the German army is their
supreme object, with no ~parlcying un-
til that object is accomplished. The
world has learned by bitter experience
that the present German government
is insincere and untrustworthy. Presi-
dent Wilson wisely told Germany the
plain truth in this respect. Peace with
the Hohenzollerns is impossible. They
and their military associates have mis-
led Germany and brought down upon
that unhappy nation the hatred of the
world. History furnishes no 9th
