Washington Shows Relax
alton From Tension
OF Compromise
Fears 80.
NO ANSWER YET
TO OTHER NOTES
Definitely Closes Door To
Any Talk OF Peace
With Kaiserism
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Oct. 15.-President
Wilson'S reply to Germany, ending
talk of an armistice until the Ger
mans are ready to surrender and
finally closing the door to peace ne
gotiations with Kaiserism, was on
the cables today, If it actually had
not arrived at Berne. Only a few
hours should be required for its de-
livery at Berlin through the Swiss
foreign office. ~
washington has undergone q per-
'ceptible relaxation of tension since
fears that the Presidents diplomacy
would bring a relaxation of military
effort or a compromise with a faith
less enemy, wear an air of relief.
Everywhere the feeling is apparent
that the atmosphere is clearer than
before Prince Macmillan came for
ward with his peace drive.
The purpose Of the United States
and the Allies are more than ever
clearly stated and that the powers in
Berlin and the German people must
see the futility- of further attempts
to avert the defeat in sight by COM
promise.
So far the President has dealt only
with the proposal Of the German
government, leaving unanswered
similar pleas of peace from Austria
Hungary and Turkey. There is no
indication that these allies OF Ger
manv viii hear from him until the
dominant factor in the central alli-
ance makes another move, unless
one or both OF them in the meantime
should plead anew, seeking surrend-
err without regard to the course or
fate Of the power that hitherto has
governed their actions. Cut or by
the detection of Bulgaria and cowed
by the victorious British armies,
Turkey already virtually is out of the
war and a separate appeal from the
reorganized government at Constan-
tinople is looked for momentarily.
AS to what will happen immediate
ly in Germany. it is conceded that
one guess is as good as another,
though there is no doubt here as to
what will happen ultimately. With
the American and Allied armies ad-
vancing steadily toward the German
border, it is believed the only ques-
tion is how far they must go before
the people Of the Teutonic states
rise to stop invasion by meeting the
conditions upon which the world
viii deal with them.
