London, October F The reply of the German govern ment to President Wilson's note was forwarded to Wash ington at noon today. The text was made public here this evening.
 In brief, Germany accepts the terms laid down by Presi- dent Wilson for the foundation of a permanent peace of jus tice. It declares itself ready to comply with the Presidents $ proposals for the evacuation of occupied territory.
 It suggests that the President may occasion a meeting of mixed commits sion to make arrangements for the evac- uation, and says that the present gov ernment, which has the support of the majority of the Reichstag, has under taken responsibility for this step towards peace

Reading through the phrases of the unofficial text everyone here immediately wns struck with the question of what might hnve hap pened in Germany recently to make such an answer possible.
 WHERE IS KAISER?
 One of the closing phrases which declares that the present German government has been formed Ly conferences in agreement with the great majority of the ReichstnE and that the chancellor .sspeaI<s in the name of the German govern mcnt and of the German people," wax regarded nA susceptible to nl- moAt unlimited speculation. What has become of the Kaisers was the question asked on every hand ns that phrnse was read. The world knows very little of what has been going on In Germany during the last few months when, with armies steadily beaten at the front; things at home have been going from had tO worse.
 IT WAS REGARDED AS NOT WITHOUT THE; REALM or PCS- SIBILITIES THAT THE CHEAT POWER OF THE KAISER WEIGH BROUGHT ON THE WAR HAD BEEN TAKEN FROM HIM.
 AUTHENTICITY DOUBTED
 At first there was some disposi- ton to regard the text of the note as received here as possibly un- authentic. The manner of itsspub- Ifcation. although an official acci- dent, was 50 irregular, that many thought of some sort of . bit of German .'finesse" in diplomacy. There has been an opinion in some quarters that the German peace of- fer at this time had for one of It's objects the diseouPagement of Americans In the Fourth Liberty Loan. Military men have expressed the view that 1t was framed for its possible effect on the morale of the American and entente troops in the field and the workers at home be- : ing pressed to do their utmost for the prosecution of the WAT. The first thought tenight was that the

All official Washington was at . complete loss to understand the text of the note becoming public partment nor the Swiss legation, which is looking after German inc terests, had received the reply. and 1t was very evident that it had been made public through . faux pas.
 There was, however. no attempt to dispute it's authenticity, and the diplomats to whom the dispatch had been sent could only express regret that the dispatch had been made public. Early this evening the newspaper correspondents were summoned by telephone to the Of- fices of the diplomatic mission. where many diplomatic dispatches are received every day. An at- tache there gave out copies of the dispatch in the regular way, bear ing the usual distinguishing marks. It was at once flashed to the country.
 When the high officials of the office learned that the dispatch had been made public their dis tress and regret was almost O0UnOlGBS, "uCm dB sMCy NCHC gratlfied by its apparent contents.
 The contents of the dispatch were at once communicated to Secretary Lansing and other Offi- cials of the government. Pres ident Wilson was in New York and the contents of the dispatch were communicated to him there.
 It k very probable that the text of the official communfca- ton may differ in some respects as to verbiage from the unoffi- cfal copy given out tonight, but 1t is regarded as highly improbable that 1t will show any substantial differences.
 At a first reading, the text would seem to answer in . man ncr which might lead to peace. all the QuestiOns President Wilson asked of Chancellor NIaxinillan in his Inquiry, which was sent as m answer to the German peace note received here last Monday.

armistice while troops of the cen- tral powers remained on invaded soil: he asked whether Prince MaximiIian accepted the terms or peace as laid down or merely wanted to discuss them Gas ba- ais for negOtiation," and finally he asked whether the chancellor merely represented the militarists who have been conducting the war.
 These inquiries, the German government seems to answer, In a manner which at least has not closed the dor to peace. The evacuation of invaded territory pending declaration of an armis- tice the answer accepts; 1t says the terms of peace are accepted and makes no further mention of n abasis for negotiation,n and de- clnres they do.

pREsIDENT NOT STIRRED

If the President was stirred by the momentous turn in the international sit uation there was no surface indications of it, so far as could be noted. After the band of the Italian Grenadiers had played, MT. Wilson led the applause, which led to an encore. Occasionally he chatted with Mrs. Wilson or peered through his opera glasses at the famous Italian bersaglieri and Alpini seated on the stage in the uinofrms in which they fought on the Italian front
 When the Grenadier band had finished playing. the President turned to the Ital- ian ambassador and they engaged in earnest conv versation for perhaps five minutes The President was seen to gestlculate repeatedly as he talked This was the first serious touch to the Pres ioent,s s latitude over the news regard ing Germany's note had been conveyed to him.
 When Secretary Tumulty called Wash inrton he was informed that the of fcial text of the note had been received neither at the White House nor the state department. The unofficial text had been received. however.
 Colonel House remained at the con- cert only a short time and then left for his home.

 WHILE AT OPERA Was Attending Concert for Benefit of Blind Soldiers
 of Italian Army COMPLETE SURPRISE TO PRESIDENT WILSON Reads Message With Intense Interest, But Showed No Signs of Being Stirred by Momentous Turn of Affairs
By the Associated Pres.


 New York, October 12. Seated tonight in grand tier box at the Metropolitan opera house, President Wilson re- ceived from the Associated Press the unofficial text of the most momentous diplomatic note in the history of the world. Through Secretary Humility he announced that he would have no comment to make.
 Publication of the German reply to the Presidents inquiries as to it's willing ness to accept all the terms he previ- ously had enuncated aud to evacuate all occupied territory came as a complete surprise. The way in which the wire less dispatch of such tremendous i'm port sent out from the great German station at Nauen was made public shat stered all dfplomtic precedents. 8
 The text reached New York only a short time before MT. Wilson and his party left the Waldorf Astoria to at tend the concert at the Metropolltan for the benefit of blinded Italian sol diers.
 The natural assumption was that it previously had been delivered to the President.
 As measure of precaution, however, the Associated Press sent over it's spe- cial wire to the opera house an inquiry to Secretary Tumulty as to whether Mir. Wilson had been informed of the German reply.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-10-13
SECRETARY AMAZED

MT. Tumulty showed plainly his amaze ment and replied that MT Wilson had not seen the note and the secretary re- quested that the text be telegraphed to him at once. He announced. however. that the President could not indicate
 in the slightest degree what his answer would be until he had opportunity to study the official text.
 The reply was sent immediately to the
 box where the President was seated with Col. E. NJ. House. his close friend and trusted adviser It was read with most intense interest. Soon thereafter Secretary Tumulty disappeared and # was assumed he was in telephonic com munication with Secretary of State Lan- sing In Washington.
 President Wilson, accompanied by Mrs. Wilson, Miss Margaret Wilson, Colonel and Mrs House, Count Di Cellers, the Italian ambassador, and Countess Di Cellers, arrived at the Metropolitan shortly after S:30 o'clock. They were escorted to the box of J. F. Morgan. Here the President faced the stage and looked down upon the audience. As the party took their seats the splen- did orchestra played The Star-Spangled Banner. Every person in the audience, and the great auditorium was packed, rose and cheered the President.
 None realized, except those in the pres- idential party, that they were witness Ii ing one of the most amazing diplomatic dramas ever enacted.
