WASHINGTON, oct. 24.-Terms OF an
armistice that would render Germany
powerless to renew the war have al
readv been considered tentatively by
American-Allied chieftains.
Gen Mach, chief Of staff, has given
considerable thought TO the subject and
besides the Versailles conference looked
over outlines of the scheme sometime
ago. Further Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels was called in by President VIII
son before the latest response was
considered.
Hence. il is assumed, that in a gem
oral way Americas ticket and that OF
the Allies have been written already.
And. IL Entente military men here
reflect what the Versailles officials ana
the Washington authorities have
scheduled the terms will be such that
the remainder of Belgium and France
will be hastily evacuated and the
American-Allied forces will be empow-
cred TO invest such German strong
holds as Metz and Strassburg. In Al
lied hands. Metz, the great pivotal
stronghold OF the BOche would he one
of the surest guarantees OF continued
peace that could be obtained, 1t Is held.
Inasmuch as the President has decreed
that an armistice with Germany shall
amount to a surrender, Germany would
be compelled to give up her arms and
She would be forced to demobillze her
armies. Arrangements would be made
whereby she could not regain the arms
and there could be no trickery about
renewing the fight.
The armistice viii contain both army
and navy clauses. Whether there
would be a demand for surrender or
the German U-boats or part OF her
feet. is unrevealed. Probably, the Al
lied chieftains would calls for de-
structlon Of certain fortiflcations and
defense lines already in existence And
certainly, the armistice would be such
that the German people would realize
that militarism had been shorn OF It's
last strength.
What Germany will do in the light
Of this latest step OF course is prob
lematical. Military leaders here have
viewed the peace problem all along as
question OF whether Germany want

Evening journal., 1918-10-24

Then Germanys course has two al
ternatlves. The first Is that the Kaiser
abdicate. II that is done, Germany can
be free TO accept an armistice which
will make her powerless TO fight on,
but which does not carry with 1t the
demand surrender" The second Is,
according TO Wilson, that II the Kaiser
and his murder masters-"the present
German government" remain in power
and il the United States and the Allies
must now or later deal with them, then
surrender" alone can be accepted.
Surrender" would carry with IL such
terms as TO nulllfy the autocratic power
OF Germany.
The President held his terms had
been sufficiently met TO justify his pas
sing on TO the Allies the German re-
quest for an armlstlce. Should Ger
many not find the present situation ac-
ceptable, then her only course is to
fight It out. America and the Allies arc
ready for that. The 100000 troop ship
ment mark has been passed, and the
general stan Is speeding on work with
plans that mean the utter crushing OF
Germany should she decide the price
OF peace is too great.
The note was received with varying
emotions. The general tendency was
one OF approval. But there was a strain
OF criticism, from such opponents OF
the Presidents course as Senator Lodge.
He. for instance, felt the President
should not have taken Germany's word
TO the extent of passing on TO the Allies
the armlstlce proposal.
On the other hand, there was ap-
plause in many quarters, that the
President had put into the note the
word surrender" The general feeling
was that he had called the hands all
around the table; that Germany had all
her chips in the game; and that no
more peace talk can result.
In other words. the United States
Allied commanders now control the
situation, provided the Allies ale agree
able TO making peace on lines Wilson
has drawn.
The President served notice that the
only armistlce plan he is suggesting to
the Allies is one absolutely safeguard
ing United States-Allled military supre-
macy-one making Il impossible for
Germany to renew hostillties, and tan
tsmount 10 complete surrender on her
enemy's terms
Military men have said that peace
rested upon the German governments
estimate Of the price OF peace she was
