II Germany makes an uncondl-
tional surrender at this stage OF
the game all outward and Wis.
ible signs count for nothing and an
internal situation bordering on dis
solution the only thing that could
bring about a complete surrender
with her armies all standing deep
in foreign territory, has been COM
pletely hidden from the outside
world.
Among several rumors of the
capitulatlou Of Germany current
last night the only one which had a
shred of substance was the one
from The Hague correspondent OF
the New York Times who cabled
forecast OF Germanys answer
saying the enemy would agree TO
the Wilson terms ION the condition
that Germanys interests and the in
tcrcsts OF the German people are
guaranteed"
If that is a true forecast OF the
German answer, it is merely an ac-
ceplance in a sense as was the
previous reply 10 our PRESIDENT

for more negotiating.
President Wilson's terms were
unequiyoeal They lcttno loophole
for debate. There can be no dis
cuSsion of what guarantees the
German nation wants Germany
has got to hold up her hands to get
an armStice. which is the opening
step taken by defeated belligcr,

Germany that the terms OF an ar
mlstice must come from Marshal
Foch and the allied military chici-

VOTE Of SENATE
PLACES SUFFRAGE
ISSUE ON FLOOR

Before crowded galleries, filled
largely by women. the Senate this
afternoon voted almost unanimously
to take up the Susan B. Anthony
resolution submitting a constitu-
tional amendment for nationwide
women suffrage to the States for
ratification.
The practical unanimity with
which the Senate agreed to consider
the measure Indicated that ii would
come to a final vote without long
debate.
Both sides were confident, and
each was still claiming victory when
the Senate convened.
Senator Thompson, a Democrat got
into trouble with his colleagues by
declaring the Democratic party plat
form bound Senators to vote for the
national amendment Senators King
and Walsh disputed this. Walsh said
the party has never changed its
stand that the question should be
settled by the States individually.
Senator Williams offered an amend
ment limiting the vote to white
women. Williams declared this
amendment ought to be accepted by
any man who is white. 1 don't mean
white-white clear down to his giz-
zard."
Williams declared the color line
must be drawn, not only in the South,
but all over the country.
II warn the people out in Califor-
mia and the west he said, that they
will have to draw this color line. Are
they going to admit japanese labor
to suffrage?"
