SURRENDER ONLY ANSWER--LODGE Republican Leader Charac- terizes Latest German
 Note as Clumsy Trap,
 Awkwardly Set
By BRIGGS

Washington, October 22.-Senasor
 Lodge, republican leader, and member of the Senate foreign relations commit tee, in a statement today, branded Ger many's latest note as "A clumsy trap 'awkwardly set to inveigle us in diplo- Imatic discussions" and said if it is an- tswered at all it should be with de- nands only for unconditional surrender. It seems to me unbelievable" said Senator Lodge, that any one should be 1 taken in by the last German note. It is vanished over with a little false flattery, directed to the President and the people of the United States, which can deceive no one. In other respects 1t is clumsy trap, awkwardly set, to involve us in diplomatic discussions--of all things to be avoided at this moment. It will not bear the slightest analysis
 They desire to discuss details. What they call details are the vital issues of the war. No attention need be given to their denial of illegal and inhumane actions. Only day or two ago they took 15,000 women and children out of Lille when they abandoned that city. Is that military act in accordance with international law? They wish to refer the destruction of our women and children on the Lusitania to neutral commission. The American people do not intend to have the decision of any commission on such question as that. The American people have not forgot ten the direction of the German min-
 ister at Buenos Aires to sink and leave
 no trace
 There is something repulsive in hav-
 ing the invaders of Belgium and the makers of the villainous peace which
 they forced on, Russia and Rumania talking about justice and honor"
