Washington, Oct. 9-President VIII
son has met Germany's peace note
with a move which will at one stroke
develop whether her proposal Is sin
cere or merely pretension. and, II a
pretension it be. fully justify for all
time before the world the prolonging
of the war with force to the uttermost,
force without stint or limit. At the
some time the President has left wide
open the door to peace.
The text of the communication
handed to the charge of Switzerland In
Washington follows:
Sir: l have the honor to acknowl-
edge, on behalf of the President, your
note of Oct s, inclosing the cOmmuni-
cation from the German government
to the President and l am instructed
by the President to request you to
make the following communication to
the imperial German chancellor:
Before making reply to the re-
quest OF the imperial German govern
ment and in order that that reply shall
b candid and straightforward as the
momentous interests involved require.
the President Of the United States
deems it necessary to assure himself
Of the exact meaning Of the note OF
the imperial chancellor.
Does the imperial chancellor mean
that tho imperial German government
accepts the terms laid down by the
President in his address to the Con-
gress of the United States on Jan. 8
last and in subsequent addresses. and
that its object In entering into discus
sions would be only to agree upon the
practical details Of their application?
The President feels bound to say
with regard to the suggestion Of an
armistice that he would not feel at
liberty to propose a cessation OF arms
to the governments with which the
government Of the United States is as
sociated against the central powers.
SO long as the armies Of those powers
are upon their soil The good faith OF
any discussion would manifestly de-
pend upon the consent OF the central
powers Immediately to withdraw their
forces everywhere from invaded tor
ritory.
"The President also feels that he
is justified in asking whether the I'm
perial chancellor is speaking merely
for the constituted authorities OF the
empire who have so far conducted the
war. He deems the answer to these
questions vital from every point Of
view.
Accept, sir, the renewed assur-
ances OF my high consideration.

ny "a ConUuering army.

cognzant of their potential ability as
eonauerors-will stand pat" and when
Germany sees this. she Will bow to the
superior force and capitulate.
Although the chief credit for Aus
tria's abject request for an armistice
is chiefly due to the great offensive of
the Italian and allied forces. also 1t is
due to events which have transpired
within the empire.
This la shown today in information
received and made public by the state
department, 1t Is a summary really Of
recent events and is authoritative.
Cxecho- siovsks in Charge.
In bohemia, it was said, the Czecho-
Slovaks have taken over the admins
tration of affairs. Great demonstra-
tons occurred in Prague. where the
coat Of arms of Austria was removed,
the national colors. The stars and
stripes" was frequently seen. and cries
of long live Wilson" were heard on
every side. The enthusiasm was in
descrihale. The mail and telegraph
service is in the hands of the Czech
new government.
Dispatches told of riots in Budapest
and other parts of Hungary with many
lights between civilians and soldiers.
Military authority. also. 1t was said,
passed into the hands of the South
Siav national council on the 29th of
October. The Jugo-Slav officers have
taken oath to the Jugo-Slav state. Two
hundred Hungarian officers who re-
fused oath were allowed to depart.
stormy demonstrations have taken
place in favor of south Slav repub-
lie. While there was no plundering in
Anagram, this was not the case In sew
eral Croatian and Serbian districts.

But above all. at = meeting on
Thursday. he recommended the lifting
Of the ban. and the hour Of IL o'clock

this hour was changed to o'clock

change was made no one has been able

health officer in giving notice Of the
withdrawal of the ban.
Antnxonjsm Apparent.
That this action on the part of the
physicians was antagonistic to the
opinion of the chief health officer was
apparent. True. the resolution. being
adroitly drawn. leaves 1t all up to Or.
Flanagan. but 1t also leaves the infer
ence that he didn't know what ne was
doing when he issued his notice.
All these things put together have
started the wiseacres around the City
Hall and in that vicinity making ut
terances that tend to throw some light
on the matter. These rumors bear out
the report that when the director OF
public welfare is named by the mayor
next month some time. there may be
doubts as to whether the efficiency OF
the present chief health officer will
have been taken into account.
The activities of Commissioner Ora
ham r. Hohson during the rise and
progress of the epidemic has COM
mended itself to many observant citi-
zens. And II is said that with the doc
tors of the city discrediting the chief
health officer. and Commissioner Hob
son standing in with the doctors a.
against the opinion Of his own officer.
and against the pleas OF a delegation
OF ministers and business men. when
the naming of a director of public
welfare il made. the name of Commits
soner Hohson will be at the top OF the
list.
