SUPREME WAR
COUNCIL WILL
NAME Terms
Allied Governments Now to
Determine Whether They
Are Disposed to Accept
7 Wilson's Principles.

Washington, Oct. 24.-Germany's
plea for an armistice and peace now
is before the allied governments
which are to determine whether
they are disposed to accept Presl-
dent Wilson's principles of settle
ment, to which Germany sub
scribes, and in accord with the
United States ask their military ad-
visers and those of America to pre-
pare the terms of an armistice
which virtually will mean surrender
by Germany.
n In various public utterances the
.nremiers and other leaders of the
entente powers have repeatedly de-
clared that President Wilson's
statements in his address of last
January 8 and subsequent addresses
reflect their own views. Something
more official and binding is re-
quired now, although it is regarded
here as foregone conclusion that
this approval will be registered and
that the officers of the supreme war
council will be invoked to prepare
the fateful document which will de-
fine the conditions under which
Germany may secure relief from the
incessant hammering of the victorl-
ous allied and American armies.
Prompt Decision Predicted.
No one here today would under
take to forecast the probable time
of final decision on Germany's
plea. 1t is known, however, that
the supreme war council already
has given the matter the most earn
est consideration. And in that con-
nection it was recalled that there
was no delay in notifying General
D'Espernay, the allied commander
on the Balkan front, of the terms
that should be laid down for Bull
garia when that nation asked for
armistice. The~>general principles
in each case probably are similar.
but there necessarily will be great
variance in the details, since not
only is a greater army and nation to
be dealt with, but the question OF

May Inject New Questions.
Certain utterances of entente
statesmen and of inspired official
organs have led to the surnise here
that, while accepting the terms laid
down by President Wilson, there
may be disposition to inject new
matters to meet individual demands
and to propose new points based
upon ever shifting conditions. 1t is
believed, however, that if such
should prove the case, the new
points probably would be dealt with
in connection with final peace nego-
tiations and need not delay the con-
sideration of the form OF armistice.
The United States already has
capable army and naval officers in
Europe prepared to deal with the
technical questions involved in an

PLANK DEBATED
IN u. s. SENATE
Republicans Object to Fixing
by Peace Treaty or Any
Other Pact Domestic
Policy Of U. S.

Washington, Oct. 24.-Republican
contentious that the third clause in
President Wilson's IA peace terms
providing for the removal of econ
omic barriers, is free trade plank
furnished the vehicle of a political
debate in the senate today. Sen
ator Thomas of Colorado insisted
that the president merely meant
there should be no prohibitive or
irritating tariffs. Senator Watson
of Indiana and other republicans
declared the republican party OBJ
jected to fixing by peace treaty OF
any other treaty the domestic policy
of the United States.
Senator Thomas referred to pro-
tests by Chairman Hays of the ma
tional republican committee and
others against contentious made by
democratic leaders that republican
victory would be interpreted by the
kaiser and our enemies abroad as
a reputation of President Wilson.
Cites 1898 Precedent.
Asked by Senator McCumber, re-
publican of North Dakota, if the
last senatorial election in Wiscon-
sin when Senator Lenroot, a re-
publican, was elected had any inhu-
ence, one way or the other, on Ger
man people, Senator Thomas said
he did not think so, but added there
is a vast difference between soil
tary contest and a general election.
he read extensive abstracts from
speeches by Colonel Roosevelt, for
mer President Harrison and SEN
atcr Lodge in 1898, in which they
urged the reelection of republican
congress to support President Nc
kinley on the grounds that not to
do so would give cheer and COM
fort to Spain and would in effect be
a reputation of his conduct of the
war.
"If that was true in 1898, it is true
in l918," declared Senator Thomas.
1T is more eminently true because
the war is not over and because a
comparison between the wars makes
the other one insignificant"
Senator Smith of Michigan, re-
publican. referred to conditions
preceding the Spanish war and de-
clared that President Cleveland had
refused to permit this country to
declare war on Spain.

WILSON'S REPLY
0CERMAN note
Whole Thing Resolved Into a
Military Question; Com
manders Can Decide, Is
Official Comment.

Paris, Oct. 24.-President Will
sons >eply to Germany was re-
ceived in competent quarters here
today with entire approval. !
The official comment can be sum-
married as follows:
president Wilson's latest answer
resolves the whole thing into mill
tary question which can be decided
by Foch, Haig and Pershing.
THE situation, however, is vir-
tually unchanged, though the ex-
change of notes has given an insight
into affairs in Germany and has per-
haps hastened her internal reforms.
The next answer will have to be a
military answer from her military
authorities.
THE French people feel that the
question of the internal govern
ment of Germany is not so impor-
tant as an ASSURANCE against recur-
renee OF Germany's militaristic poll
cies, which precipitated the war.
Germany's Sincerity Doubted.
1--WE do not know how sincere
Germany is about her reforms. We
have reason to doubt the sincerity
of her aims in this direction. The
great thing for us is to make sure
that things shall not again be in the
same position as before the war.
"An armistice is almost impossi-
bic, as the conditions would be so
unimaginably drastic. An armstice
would be full of danger if not
guarded by all sorts of conditions" "
The feeling prevails in general
among French officials that the lat
est note from the president Of the
United States is just what the allies
have been wanting to force upon
the enemy.
President Wilson's reply to Ger
many was published by the news
papers here in English as we'll as
in a French translation at the re-
quest of the authorities.
La Liberte says that if Germany
gives guarantees as demanded by
.he president it will be materially
impossible for her to continue the
war.
In Hands of Military.
Everything is now in the hands
Of the military" says the Temps
The reply has moved the problem
from the domain of controversy to
the domain of facts. The president
attaches such Importance to the es-
sential idea that an armistice must
make it impossible for Germany to

British May Capture Large
Forces of Germans if They
Do Not Quickly Retire
From Salient.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Oct. Unsuccessful
British operations on the Valencien-
mes front took on new importance
to officers here today in the light
of the diplomatic situation. Field
Marshal Haig's armies are striking
savagely at the hinge OF the present
German line of resistance and the
progress already made is thought
by officers here to make it certain
that the German retirement both in
Belgium and in France will have
to be resumed without delay.
South of the new British wedge,
the French are keeping continuous
pressure aginst the enemy along the
Oise-Serre front, making it difficult
for the German commanders to dis
engage their forces from this most
exposed sector of their lines. Sue
cess of the British effort, however,
which now seems assured, would
compel precipitate evacuation of
the Oise-Serre salient, it is believed,
for the communication system of
that front would be threatened from
the flank and rear.
Must Rectify Lines. y
Reduction of the Oise-Serre
salient would mean rectihcation of
the lines probably as far east as
the Argonne, observers believe. and
coupled with the Franco-American
pounding there and on the Meuse,
the British advances of today and
yesterday possibly foreshadow the
retreat of the enemy to the Meuse
line. If that retirement is delayed
