PEACE Is Up TO GERMANY
IL OPINION OF DIPLOMATS.
President Wilson's Reply Puts Ger-
many in Hole Unless She i SIN
eere-Reply Regarded as Master
Stroke OF Diplomacy.

Peace is up to Germany, moro
sQuarely than it ever was before. as
a result of President Wilson's query
to Prince Macmillan, testing Teuton
sincerity
Officil Washington takes this view,
holding that the president has strip
ped away the mask and robbed Ger
many of chance to stir her people
with the threadbare plea Of "our en-
emy is obdurate and seeks only To
crush us"
The general thought in Washin gton
is that the inquiry is even more effec-
tive than a curt, or clustering demand
for unconditional surrender would
have been.
It meets the allied requirements
that there be rejection of any nsin-
cere proposals. while it leaves the
door open to acceptance of genuine
proposal squaring with allied-Ameri-
can demands.
This feature of the inquiry is dis
tinctly a concession to allied opinion
Diplomats in Washington were fearful
that curt demand for surrender
would have bolstered up German NOR
ale, encouraging the Teutons to fight
the harder under the plea that they
We're battling for their existence The
allied consultations developed the idea.
that short, sharp reply would cause
unrest or suspicion among the labor
and Lansdowne elements abroad. Such
an answer, it was felt. would not meet
the approval of groups who perhaps
might fail to see the evident insincerity
I Of the German maneuver
At the same time it is believed that
the president has given real punch"
/ to his remarks by making the demand
for evacuation as a preliminary to
peace. This goes farther than any de-
mand to date, and even those who,
criticized the form, held that the sub
stance of that paragraph showed clear
/ ly that there is no disposition to talk
peace except on our own terms.
Entente diplomats are plainly re-
lieved al the method the president pur-
sued. They designated this action as
a notice to Germany that she must
come around to the American allied
viewpoint or be punished into defeat
by the onward-pressing yankee-alliedR
armies.
It has long been an allied condition.
that evacuation must proceed any
peace parleys. President Wilson in
cludes that for the first time, and it.
was said Wednesday that he meant
evacuation of France, Belgium. Serbia
Italy and Rumania and removal OF
submarines from the high seas.
Neither the allies nor America Wilt
consider any temporary armistice. it
is authoritatvely stated
If Germany wants to arrange the,
practical details" of application of
President Wilson's peace terms she
can do so. but she will have to ar
range then and there for a permanent
armistice, officials say
