Washington president Wilson has

the expectations OF supporters OF his

OF those who predicted that he would
substitute victories at arms with de.
feats at diplomacy,
No peace with kaiserism, Autocracy

her atrocities on land and sea; one

PEACE TERMS ARE
ACCEPTED BY FOE
ANSWER is APPARENTLY FAIR
BUT SNAP JUDGMENT SHOULD
NOT BE BETTER.
GREAT DANGER POINTED OUT
This Latest Turn In Events May
Cause Slowing Up on Sales OF
NOT BE TAKEN.

Washington -Germany's reply To
President Wilson's inquiry, intercept
ed as II was being sent by the great
wireless towers at Nauen and fr-
warded here in an official dispatch
from France, declares Germany Is
ready to accept President Wilson'S
peace terms, evaeuate the invaded ter.
ritory as prerequisite to an armts-
tice and that the bid for peace repre-
SCENTS the German people as well as
the government
Although on its face the text OF the
German note seems to be a complete
acceptance OF President Wilson'S
terms, the peope of the United States
and the allied countries should be eau.
toned against accepting II as such a
compliance OF the presidents demands
as will mean immediate cessation or
nostilities.
As President Wilson was in New
York and reserved comment on tho
note. his views cannot be stated now
and none OF his official family here
in Washington cared 10 speak for him.
Should President Wilson finally d.
eide that there is enough sincerity
in Germany's proposition to transmit
II to the allies. as the German chan
ce,or requested, 1t should be borne
In mind that Great Britain, France
and the other entente nations must De
taken into consideration for decision
as TO whether an armistice should
be granted or whether discussion
should be undertaken to carry out the
details o. the application OF President
Wilson's peace terms.
The creates, danger facing the pA'-
pie OF the United States officials said
here, was that they might hastily con
slider Germany's proposition as The
unconditional surrender which the 60
belligerents demand nd relax their et-
forts to continue the victories at arms
and carry over the fourth Liberty
loan On every side in Official quarters
Il was stated tina this view OF the stu
alton could not be placed before the
public too strongly.
