AMSTERDAM Oct. 2O.-The reply to
President Wilson will be communicated
to the German party leaders in Berlin
at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon. accord
ing to German advices received here.
Other advices say the German reply to
President Wilson may not be ready un-
I'll Monday. The correspondent in Ber
lin OF the Handelsbidd, telegraphiny
Saturday night. said:
IT learn from competent quarters the
conceptions which will underlie the Ger
man reply. the text Of which will be def
ritely fixed at conference tonight.
From the tone of President Wilson's re-
ply the German Government believes II
must deduce from his note that Il takes
into account the wishes and tendencies
In Entente quarters concerning cond-
lions for evacuation which heretofore
had not been At for discussion. The
German Government. however, Is ready
to find basis for further discussion"
Germdnid OF Berlin. the organ OF the
Centrist party, prints an obviously In
spired commentary on the evacuation by
the Germans OF the Flanders coast. say
Ing II will have an uncomfortable effect
on the conduct of the naval war. The
newspaper says that all the German
constructed military works at Ostend.
Zeobrugge and elsewhere were either
dismantlcd entirely and carried off or
left In an unusable condition.
We have succeeded in getting all the
ships Nome" It says. "a few service
able ships that we were forced to leave
were dismantled and then destroyed"
The Importance of Flanders as base
for submarines, II continues, recently
declined considerably because measures
fol hx,f ha Of
of U-boat warfare from the Flanders
coast SO difficult that for some time past
It had been more or less given up"
LONDON. Oct 20,-According to IN
official reports reaching Amsterdam, the
| German reply to President Wilson was
| delivered to the Swiss Minister in Ber-
| lin Saturday evening. says an Exchange
Telegraph despatch from Amsterdam.
| In the note Germany consents to the
| evacuation OF Belgium, but considers
that such withdrawal will take several
| months time. Germany protests against
| the charges OF cruelty in the Presidents
note and says she was forced into
| submarine warfare by the allied block
| ade.
The German Government. 1t is added,
denies responsibility for the loss OF
| women and children on torpedoed ma -
many is prepared Professionally TO stop
| unrestricted submarine warfare.
Finally the note disputes the right of
foreign Powers to NEEDLE with German
| internal affairs and declares Germany
| should enjoy the same right of self
determination as other nations.
The view here is that in the event the
reply is unacceptable TO the Entente
Powers Austria and Turkey will arrange
joint conference for the purpose OF
taking Independent peace action.
The abdication of Emperor William
and the Crown Prince is the only means
OF solving the terrible crisis accord

TOXIC. Oct. 10 (delayed) .-Takashi
Hara, Japan's FIRST commonsr Premier
and leader OF tho seiyukwai party, said
to-day In his first statement OF his poll
cies that he and his colleagues con-
stantly would labor on the future ques-
lions arising out OF the war.
Although the alliance with Great Brit
ain would remain the cornerstone OF ia
pans foreign relations. he said, he
wished to emphasize that his special ef-
fort would be to promote friendly rela-
lions with the United States
please tell that to the American peo-
pie as convincing.y as you can" he said,
because my colleagues and ! keenly de-
sire to see Japan and America brought
closer together and every shadow Of
Misunderstanding removed"
With democratic simplicity and direct
ness Premier Hara discussed frankly all
questions put to him and left the
impression that Japan, which for the
last fifty years has been largely ruled
by bureaucrats. has entered upon a new
and significant period OF constitutional
progress. in which popular opinion is
more effectively to guide the nations
policies.
New Premier Once n Reporter.
Beginning life as newspaper re-
porter, Hara's attainment to the Pre-
miership is regarded as proving that
the time has arrived when in Japan, as
in America, any citizen can hope to
climb to the places Of highest response
bility.
Premier Hara pointed out that previ-
Gus attempts to establish the party sys-
tenn OF government has been made, but
called attention to the fact that the pres
ent ministry was the first to have como
Into power on so clearly based an IDEA of
parties.
II will make it my aim to develop
party government into consonance with
the age in which We live" he said.
Requested to explain his views on
some criticism that Japan. like the Ger
man military autocracy. may sometime
become militarily aggressive, Premier
Hara declared that he was amazed on
visiting America eleven years ago to
hear the fears voiced by some Amer-
cans that Japan's military strength was
designed against America.
Wars Were Defensive.
This is OF course absurd he said.
History shows that Japan has never
engaged voluntarily in wars IL IL dd-
mitted that our war against Russia was
purely defensive. We have no ambition
nor intention of aggression or conuue 81.
The present war has shown that our
agreements were defective and this will
