OFFICIAL WASHINGTON AWAITS REPLY TO FOCH'S TERMS
 AS TIME ALLOWED FLIES
Recent Happenings in Germany Will Have No Effect on Modification of Arnstce Terms of Surrender As Lad
 Down by Marshal Foch to the German Envoys in Ills
 UItimaum the Answer Which Is Momentary Expected

WASHINGTON Nov 9-The tremendous news from Germany that the kaiser had decided abdcate heard in Washington with scarcely than ripple of interest
 Everywhere the question was asked has the armshce been signed? So far the American government knew late tonight it had been signed and the prevailing belief was that the German answer Marshal Foch could not be expected before tomorrow.
 To members of the government, and diplomats who few weeks ago would have been amazed and grateo ne announcement that William H. had bowed before the will of the word was accepted thing to be expected
 There was no statement from the White House or other government President Wilson whose demand au- tocacy must go has been bazoned upon every response to the German pleas for peace was waiting
 He wanted to know who follows the kaiser and wanted something more than decree by Prince Maximian sent broadcast by wireless that the kaiser and ms power actually have gone
 The one thing that officials emphasized that what ever might happen within Germany this late date could make difference in the military program of the aeo ana American governments There will be no modification or the surrender which Marshal och has gwen the Germans until II clock Monday morning to accept or reject and unless the acceptance forthcoming the unnte rupted advance the victorious armies will continue until the white flag of surrender appears
 Military men as well civilian officials and diplomatic observers regard acceptance of the amsce harsh the Germans may deem them inevitable Knowledge that the army beaten and must be retreat across Its own borders probably to join in the revolution at home Is re- aded as certain to force the obstinate the enemy to yield within the allowed As to the effect ot the kasers decision upon the speed with which the German ply might be sent Marshal Foch, prepared to speak with confidence The first thought that with the promugaion of the chanceo decree the courier probably had been started back with instructions that the armsce VOWS waiting within the allied lines accept at and bring hoslites to end But recognized possibility that the socialists apparently akeng the laid down by the lords might attempt to make their ascendancy the basis of another appeal for discussion modcaons in the surrender conditions.
 The wireless message quoting the chancelos decree, procaming the abdcation decision and renuncaon of the throne by the prince received here first late this afternoon through the British wireless press Later 1t was officially announced the department that the same message had been picked up directly by the American naval wireless from the great German station at Nauen.
 The belief here is that if the Hohenzolern dynasty ae- tuay has ended William H. like Carl of Austria Hungary knowing the time of his going refused to permit history to record that he signed the document which must completely destroy German military power and require Ger many advance to submit to terms o peace which her enemies choose The Austrian armistice was signed just as effectively could have been done by ayo by the Austrian chief of staff with whom General Diaz the Italian commanderinchief dealt the responsible spokes of the defeated army.
 Likewise, the German army may have cessation of hostes whenever it Pleases if competent spokesmen ac cept what the United States and the allies have offered through their commanderin-chef
 When it a conclusion of permanent peace, oi course the victorious associated nations will deal only with authority up by the German people fully warranted r entering upon international engagement The terms o armsce will be sufficient guarantee that the Germans will again endaRger their neghbors while this government being up; the conditions of permanent whic hwil be dictated will safeguard the future
 The worlds indictment against Germany for at the peace conference being prepared Much already has beer done Today Secretary Lansing made public protest ht had forwarded the Berlin against mstreat of American prisoners of including putting then to work mines and withholding packages forwarded to
