 Tho one point which appeared to loom up in the text of the unofficial copy is whether Chancellor Maximilian and Foreign Secretary Solf, can, in reality, represent the German people, as the reply declares they do. Presi dent Wilson's estimate and the esti- mate of the statesmen of the co-bel ligerents on the safety of dealing with The heads of the German government have often been repeated.

Whether President Wilson and the entente allies regard the govern meut now headedeby Miximilian, and which has SOlf for it's secretary of state for foreign affairs one which ran speak under any circumstances for the German people and bind them Go the peace terms which the allies will impose. remains to be seen. There was nn official expression on that point in Washington tonight, in President Will sons absence. Probably no one in the United States but he can give tlc answer.
 Think Germany Upset
 Reading through the phrases of the NN.NNA AtaAAH tN'A bllf AfAt AAAlAAA~ diatcly was struck with the question of what must have happened in Ger many. recently. to make such an answer possible.
 one of the closing phrases which de- cfarcs that the present German gov ,rnmcut has been formed by con f.rcuces iu agreement with the great majority of the reichstag, and that the .htncCllor speaks in the name of the German government and of the Ger man people" was regarded as being susceptible Co almost unlimited specu- lafiou What has become of the kaiscre was the question asked on every hand as that phase was read Tho world knows very little of what has been going on in Germany during Inc last few months. when, with armies steadily beaten at the front, things at home have been going from bad to worse. it was regarded as not with out the realm of possibilities that the roWcr of the kaiser which brought on the war has been taken from him.,

Germans Abandon Turkex?

LONDON, Oct. 12.-(By The Asso- ciated Press) reply to President Wilson apparently gives one statement of news. 1t associate Aus tria- Hungary, but not Turk ey, with the German government. The implica- ton seems to be that unless the Ger man, secretary for foreign affairs has written the message with unusual haste, Turkey is no longer Germanys S ally.
 The phrase, "to agree upon prac- tical details of the application of these terms" is on it's face a straight reply to President Wilson. It was not un- expected here. but is likely to be re- garded with suspicion. English papers have said that a conference based on such formulate may be considered by the Germans to mean an extended de- bate.
 Some of the most important German papers. in latest quotations cabled from Holland. persist in using the word compromise" with reference to the application of the presidents prin- ciples.
 But the feeling in London is that 1t will be hard for the allied armies to hold their hand in the hour of seeming victory.
 Unconditional surrender" Is the watchword much more appealing to the British people in this hour, than any commission to arrange for evacu- ation. Events in the past week, par ticularly the sinking of the Leinster, have steeled British hearts against a compromise.
 There is a strong belief here, voiced even by the compromising papers, that there are yet two powers in Ger many--one power of the new govern ment, the other of the army, and that it is not yet decided which is supreme.

Viscount Grey on the League of
NatiOnj.

Viscount GREY's latest utterance on
q league Of nations, which we print in
full on this page to-day, represents
the matored thought Of a student of
international affairs whose whole
course In the Incidents which culmi-
mated In the war that devastates the
world to-day marked him as man
sincerely desiring Of honorable, en-
during world peace.
That Ideal condition was rendered
impossible Of attainment by the am
billions and acts of one nation, which
for generations has plotted to win a
dominant place among the Powers
that should make all other nations
subservient to her and dependent on
her tolerance for their existence. The
plan was based on the possession Of
overwhelming military force, which
was supplemented by n campaign Of
cunning intrigue whose ramlhcations
we are only now beginning to under
stand; and as long as 1t was hnr-
bored by its authors and tolerated by
other nations Its menace hung like Il
thunder cloud over the pacific peoples
of the world.
That it shall be forever impossible
for such II design To he seriously con-
Iemplatcd by responsible rulers in
the future is the object Of the enc
niles Of Germany In the war to-day,
nnd the attainment Of THAT object

be made permanent. The form that

which must be forged to assure this

llzation unimperilled by the barbarous
strlvings Of dynastles eager to sup
press liberty. constitutes a subject re-
qulring the deepest reflection on the
part Of those to whom the direction
Of world affairs is con6ded.
Every domestic and international
political relationship throughout the
earth has already been profoundly al
tered by the war. The struggle to
victory of the cause Of justice will
still further modify our preconceived
notions Of national duty. Under these
circumstances such products of ex.
perience and wisdom as Viscount
GREY's essny command the closest
scrutiny from those who are unwlll-
ing to accept oil his conclusions, rs
well as from those who indorse his
attitude; and in this country, where
we have already forged and are now
tempering the weapon Of victory, we
must give thought to the morrow In
which we shall be the guardians Of

Our Soldiers in France.

All reports from the battle front in
France are to the effect that the re-
newed German drive was halted by
the Allied troops, that the German
armies failed in their detectives, and
that their divisions were thrown back
with such violence MS to compel con-
siderable abatement Of infantry ac-
tivity on their part ut moment when
their plan called for Its intensifc ton
and continuance. Thus the initial
movement was shattered, and n read
justment Of the enemy's forces was
rendered necessary which may con-
siderably affect his general plan.
In producing this effect the Ameri-
can troops, to whom General FocH
has assigned important sectors in the
first line, made n splendid contrIbu-
tion. In their first experience Of the
concentrated force Of a grand attempt
to advance they revealed the courage
and tenaclty which nre their indi-
vidual qualities, and a comprehension
Of military necessities that Is highly
gratifying to us, and must be to their
Instructors and their comrades In
arms. At no time hns there been
question Of the bravery or devoted
ness Of our men; the problem for our
military commanders to solve has in
volved the education Of privates. non
commissioned officers and officers in
expediting the methods and prac-
tees Of modern warfare. The units
on whom the brunt Of the fighting
fell this week appear to have been
principally, II not exclusively. from
the Regular Army and the Marine
Corps. These include our best trained
troops, among whom are many men
Of long experience. Yet 1t must be
remembered that they are not differ
ent from the men of the National
Guard division or the men Of the
aration for war enjoyed by the older
regulars and marines, all have had the
same training; indeed, all the regular
and guard units have received large
numbers Of selected men into their
ranks, 1t being the policy Of the War
Department to unity the army, and
not to perpetuate the distinctions that
might arlse from the various methods
Of recruiting.
Under the conditions imposed on
the men drawn recently from civilian
to military life. rapid progress Is
made In the technique of the soldier.
The men have had In their period Of
preparation the best instructors that
could be obtained. The experiences
undergone In few weeks in the
trenches transform the rookie into q
veteran. The sterling qualities of
American young manhood include an
amazing adaptablTlty, a virtue of SUI
preme Importance in the army.
We have never been shaken in our
faith In the American men who are
upholding American ideals In the stu
'pendous struggle in Europe. Their
deeds have made good our highest
hopes. They have written their
power In blood. and the message must
be read by the Germans who have
affected to despise them.
