The note published to-day is typically
German. 1t consists largely of misleading
statements calculated TO deceive the people
of America and Allied countries. In this
attempt Germany will fail utterly as she
has in the past. We look for moral
change in the German people, but Solf tells
us that Germany is not guilty Of ruthless

in his speeches his peace notes has he
directly reflected the universal desire for
a subjugation of Germany SO complete that
she will be virtually impotent and at the
mercy of her enemies This is the goal
for which soldiers under Foch are fighting,
but it never has been stated by President
Wilson as the objective of the war Off
cial comment in Washington now directs
itself to the resolutions in the Senate Of
Lodge and Poindexter which if adopted
would preclude any further exchange of
notes with Germany until her armed forces
shall have laid down their arms and sur
rendered to the commanding officer in The
field.
The view is current here in well in
formed circles that the most active force
for peace in operation to-day is not the
pressure Of the German masses nor yet
the nsistence OF the Allied and American
drive but the manipulations of group of
German bankers with connections all over
the world. who are appalled, at the
nomic outlook and striving with all the
power they possess to save much
possible Of the German governmental
structure which is indispensable to the
success of their plans for a resumption of
German trade after the war. Germany is
facing not only military but economic ruin,
but the latter can be mcasurably avoided,
they hope, if German statesmen can offer
to the President of the United States the
shadow if not the substance OF military
surrender and of governmental reforms;
and something may be saved from the
wreck with which to resume ruthless
commercial campaign This it is taken is
