He laid down these conditions of
peace upon which, he said, the allies

Demand Surrender.

Meanwhile an almost unanimous
demand that he tell Germany that her
hour to secure peace on any othe-
terms but unconditional surrender
was in evidence throughout the Capt.
tai. Senators OF both political faiths
led in this demand. They declared
that it would be the height of folly
for the United Sta VS. or the allies to
trust Germany at the present time
They recalled the Tnany instances of
broken covenants which have marked
the progress of the war. And they
declared that they would oppose any
mercy at this time. The complete
collapse OF the German military ma
chine is in sight, these leaders de-
clared, and they insisted that the
only reason why Germany had ac-
cepted the Presidents fourteen arti-
cles of peace was because the mill
tary leaders realized this.

SUSPECT
Joker IN REPLY

LONDON, Oct. 14-The British
press regards the German answer to
President Wilson's note with deep
suspicion.
THE whole German note is bogus"
said the Daily Mail today. 'The
Germans have not yet set their house
in order. They have not yet behead-
ed their King as the English did in
1919 and the French did in 1893 An
armistice would cheat the allies of
their present military supremacy.
There is no need for a mixed COM
mission for Germany to evacuate;
only an order from the Kaiser is re-
quired."
The Post took the attitude that the
German note was designed to create
discord among the allies.
Germany must surrender and leave
In the evacuated territory all Of the
arms OF her troops" said the Express,
adding: 'If Germany's overtures are
genuine, we have won the war"
Would BE Betrayal
The London Observer says:
"By itself a suspension of hostilI-
ties granted to Germany at this time
would be a betrayal of the allied
armies and OF our cause. Germany
would have used President Wilson to
baffle Marshal Foch- There could be
no armistice except accompanied by
such guarantees as would make 1t
impossible for the enemy to renew
the struggle. The allies complete
victory in arms would have to be
acknowledged and the consequences
forthwith accepted"
Reynolds Newspaper says:
THE power OF Germany is still in
the hands OF the Kaiser and the
junkers, though, we believe, that
power is tottering. So long as they
stand in their places, we are bound
to take them as representing the Ger
man people, and until the German
people cast them down for good. the
allies will continue to use all the
force they possess to secure victory
so complete and overwhelming that
these men shall be broken and dis
graced. and go with the mark OF Cain
upon their brows. Then. and not un-
til then, will there be a German
people with whom we can treat No
peace with the HohenzoIlerns is the
motto of the allies"

Details of Decree.

There was a well-dehned report in
diplomatic circles that the Swiss
charge had two communications from
Germany. The second one was re-
ported to be details OF the secret
decree which was signed by the
Kaiser on September so, and which
has never been made public. There
has been a great deal of guessing re-
garding this decree. but no official in
formation has reached Washington.
One surmise by a leading ambassa-
dor, made unOfhcially, however, was
that this decree transferred the power
to make war or peace from the EN-
peror to the Reichstag. At the Swiss
legation the officials refused to dis
cuss this report in any way. They
explained that they had been instruct
ed to deliver the German reply OF
Saturday to the President and await
developments, and that this was what
they would do.

Or swim the angry sea.

"TELL THE TRUTH"

Nearly year has passed since, on
February 3, by formally breaking re.
lations with Germany we reluctantly
admitted that she had gone to war
with us. During that year 1t has been
necessarily insisted that it was unpa-
tri0tic under any consideration to
tell an unpleasant truth or to point
out governmental shortcoming. The
result has not boon happy.
The famous war correspondent Mr..
Casper Whitney has returned from
the front so that he might avoid our
fatuous and sinister censorship and
tell our people the truth about our
army in France. He shows that this
army, which Secretary Baker had
Just assured our people was admirably
equipped in reality had no cannon or
machine guns except those it borrow
ed from the hard pressed French tina.
there was lamentable shortage of
shoes that the motor ears were poor,

TRYING TO GET HARDwrcK
10 WITHDRAW FROM RArr

Atlanta, Ga, June 12.-Efforts are
Deing made by the inner council Of
William Schley Towards Campaign
committee to secure the withdrawal
OF lhomas w. Hardwick from the
senatorial race and affect a consoli-
dation between the Hardwick and
Howard forces.
This effort, which will presently be-
come. quite apparent, but which is
now being conducted quietly and nm
der the surface, grows out of a con-
viction by the Atlanta conpressmen's
managers that he cannot hope to de-
feat William ]. Harris. They are
anxiously striving to add to his
strength by means of a combination.
The plan has been worked in various
local communities, where erstwhile
Hardwlck supporters have deserted
their leader and joined with the How
ard forces. Now it is hoped to ae-
complish the move on a statewide
scale. 'N~
William J. Harris has never eniov-
FED the friendship of Senator Hard
wick. While the latter was obstruet-
ing administration measures ard VIC
lously attacking President Wilson.
| William ]. Harris has consistently
supported the President throughout
his career. Naturally this was not
| pleasing to Senator Hardwick. Hence
the Howard forces hope that Hard
wicks friends will be agreeable to-
any plan which has for its object the
/ defeat of Harris.
