ID MAKE NJ PEACE
 WITH HE KAISER
No ARMlSTlCS IS TAINkAeLE WHILE ATROCITIES CONTINUE
 -AUTOCRACY'S DAY IS DONE.
NO MORE SCRAPS OF PAPER
Strategic Points in Germany Must Be Occupied and German Fleet Must Be Turned Over To the Allied
 Governments.

Washington President Wilson has answered Germanys peace pro posdl with Il decision which not only iuihlls the Expectations of supporters os his diplomacy hut also disprls the Tears ot those who predicted h., would substitute victories II arms Wlth de teats at diplomacy.
 No peace WIth kaistrism autocracY must 70; no armjstlcy can even be thought of while Germany continues her atrocities on land and sea. one cannot be considered unless II is fully dictated by the allied commanders m the field iii such terms as absolutely provide safeguards and guarantees that Germanys part will not be Il scrap of paper
 This. in few words. k the presl- dents answer
 II f does not bring exploitation which may be more fhan an uncondt- uonal surrender. allied diplomats and American officials believe it may cause revolution in Germany.
 Beyond question II speaks for the entente allies Us well A. the United States
 The dispatch of the presidents re= ply was followed by the issue of this formal statement at the White House py secretary Tumulty:
 "The government Will continue to send evor 25o. 600 men with their sup plies every month. and there will be no relaxation ot any kind
 Those who contend that the presi- dents decision arranses the situation for something more than an uncoudt- NoEal surrender base Il on the arsll- mcnt that he has now passed The stage where he might have accepted a surrender Of the German military and naval forces and lef, the Hohen= zoIern autoeraey on it's throne
 Nr Wilson. according 10 this NieA. he naW finally informed the German people that II they want peace they can only attain it by getting td oI the kaiser and his system.
 An afmisgee. il Is true, migh; come first and the details of the downfall of the German autoCrauc goyernm,n' might be arranged later
 HHf fm~ k what an armiseec would entail:
 First. d stop to ,he atrocities an land and sea and the systematic de structlon and devastation in the wa2et oi the rctreatng German armies Th, n. the disarmament of all Che Ger man forces and the deposit of tleu arms and munitions al pointz to bt chosen by the allied military conn mandtrs Then. the occupation by Il uca fore, g of certain German cities or strongholds of strategic importance. Probably also the occupation of all tho sutaarine bases. d turning over of the German fleet.
 lii saor, if Will cntati d taking from Germany of everything with witch ,a' mleht break her word 10 au arIuts- tce
 From that point thu United States and the allies might proceed to Gi= pose of what remained of kaiserjsm f the German people hayc net done | before. as President Wilson in his note plainly invites them In dc
