General approval of the presidents
reply to Germany and of his action
in transmitting Germany's request
to the allied governments was voiced
here today in official and diplomatic
circles Although several Senators
were known to have prepared ad-
dresses on the subject, there was no
discussion of the note in the Senate.
1t was said that when the Senate re-
convenes Monday there will be a gen.
eral peace discussion.

of warfare. Usually an armistice Is
defined as a suspension of hostilities

quo on each side. But the president
has laid down the demand that the
armistice shall make it impossible
for the German army to again renew
hOstilities. No mention was made in
the note about evacuation of invaded
territory. but far more than that
would be necessary to meet the
presidents demand.
Details OF the armistice must be
worked out by the military advisors
of the governments associated
against Germany. They would in
clude unconditional surrender which
the German armies would evacuate
Belgium and France; occupation of
strategic points in Germany in al
lied and American forces so as to re-
move the possibility of a renewal of
,hostilities. Decentralization Of the
