WILSON ASKS DIRECT
REPLY IN HIS NOTE

President Wilson's note to the Ger
man chancellor, which was transmit
ted to Berlin, October 8, is as follows:
"Sir: | have the honor to acknowl-
edge, on behalf OF the president, your
note of October g. inclosing the COM
munication from the German govern
ment to the president; and | am In
structed by the president to request
you to make the following commune
cation to the imperial German chan
cellOr.
Before making reply to the request
Of the imperial German government
and In order that that reply shall be
candid and straightforward, as the
momemtous interests involved require,
| the president OF fhe United States
deems 1t necessary to assure himself
OF the exact meaning of the note Of
the imperial chancellor. Does the Inn
perial chancellor mean that the imper-
lal German government accepts the
terms laid down by the president in
his address to the congress of the
United States on the 9Th Of January
iuoif anu III ouUStuutIit uuuTtSSeS anu
that its object In entering into discus
sions would be only to agree upon the
practical details of their application?
THE president feels bound to say
with regard to the suggestion of an
armistice that he would not feel at
liberty to propose cessation of arms
to the governments with which the
government of the United States is
associated against the central powers
so long as the armies of those powers
are upon their soil. The good faith of
any discussion would manifestly de-
pend upon the consent of the central
powers Immediately to withdraw their
forces everywhere from invaded terri
tory.
THE president also feels that he Is
justified in asking whether the i'm
perial chancellor is speaking merely
for the constituted authorities of the
empire who have so far conducted the
war. He deems the answer to these
questions vital from every point of
view"

commerce of all nations under inter-

NH. An independent Polish state
should be erected which should include
the territories inhabited by indisput-
ably Polish populations, which should
be assured free and secure access to
the sea, and whose political and eco
onmic independence and territorial in
tegrity should be guaranteed by in
ternational covenant.
XIV. A general association of ma
lions must be formed under specific
covenants for the purpose of affording
mutual guarantees of political indie
pendence and territorial integrity to
great and small states alike.
Mt. Vernon Points.
1. The destruction of every arbi-
trary power anywhere that can sep
arately, secretly. and of Its single
choice disturb the peace of tie world :;
or, If it cannot be presently destroyed,
at the least its reduction to virtual
impotence.
III. The settlement of every ques-
ton, whether of territory, of sover-
eighty, of economic arrangement, or of
political relationship, upon the basis
of the free acceptance of that settle
ment by the people Immediately con-
cerned, and not from the basis of the
national interest or advantage of any
other nation or people which may de-
sire different settlement for the sake
of its own exterior Influence or mas
terry.
III The consent of all nations to
be governed in their conduct toward
each other by the same principles of
honor and of respect for the common
law of civilized society that governs
the individual citizens of all modern
states in their relations with one an
other; to the end that all promises and
covenants may be sacredly observed,
no private plots or conspiracies
Matched, no selfish injuries wrought
with impunity and a mutual trust es-
tablished upon the handsome founda-
ton of mutual respect for right
w. The establishment of an Or
ganization of peace which shall make
1t certain that the combined power of
free nations will check every invasion
of right and serve to make peace and
| Justice the more secure by affording
il definite tribunal of opinion to which
all must submit and by which every
international REIMBURSEMENT that can
not be amicably agreed upon by the
peoples directly concerned shall be
| stationed.
