London, Oct. 2I.-The text Of the German
reply to President Wilson's note, as received
here by wireless from Berlin, is rs follows:
In accepting the proposal for the evacua-
ton of occupied territories, the German gov
ernment started from the assumption that the
procedure for this evacuation and the condi-
tions of the armistice should be left to the
judgment of the military advisers, and that the
actual standard of power which both sides
in the field have should form the basis of
arrangements safeguarding and guaranteeing
this standard.
The German government suggests to the
President that opportunity be brought about
for fixing the details (of an armistice)
The German government trusts that the
President will approve of no demand which
would be irreconcilable with the honor of the
German people and with the opening of the
way to peace of justice.
MAKE VARIOUS DENIALs.
The German government protests against
the reproach of illegal and inhuman actions
made against the German people.
For covering retreat distinctions will
always be necessary, and in far as necessary
they are permitted by international law
The German troops are under the strict
est instructions to spare private property and
to exercise care for the population to the best
of their ability
Where transgressions occur in spite OF
these instructions the guilty are being pun
ished.
The German government further denies
that the German navy in sinking ships ever
purposely destroyed lifeboats with passengers
The German government proposes, in re-
gard to all these charges, that the facts be
cleared up by neutral commissions
MODIFY U-BOAT WARFARE
In order to avoid anything that might
hamper the work of peace, the government
has caused orders to be dispatched to all sub
marine commanders precluding the torpedoing
OF passenger ships, without however, for
technical reasons, being able to guarantee that

Latest Peace Offer
Of Kaiser to Get
Prompt Action at
Hands of President

Germany's latest peace note. in un-
official form. reached the Capital YES
terday afternoon. Consideration OF
the text was begun Immediately by
President Wilson and secretary Ian
sing. The unofficial text appears to
be an acceptance of all the conditions
laid down by the President.
There will be no official comment
on the note. however. until the off,
ciaI text itself is received. It had not
arrived last night at the Swiss Lega-
ton.
rne note is by far the strongest ef-
fort Of Germany toward peace. IT has
no controversial matter with regard
to the Presidents terms. and but one
question is raised. 1t pertains 10 the
truthfuIness of the charges of bar
barities, made alike by the President
and the allies.
HostiIIties TO Continue.
One thing is certain. and it is that
Germany is desperate for peace. The
man on the street can draw his own
inference as to conditions existing
within the German Empire that have
made imperative the necessity for
peace.
In this respect alone the note in
dicates the strong arm measures
that have been taken, presumably
by the middle classes. to bring an
end to the war, and it also indicates
that the Presidents demand for the
destruction of arbitrary power" is
slowly but surely being satisfied.
Nevertheless there are many
strings attached to the note. and
they mean a continuation of hos
tilities. Fighting will continue un-
til the enemy is driven out OF
France and Belgium. Should the
question Of an armistice arise, then

Cereals

Wheat.-Receipts of wheat at pri-
mary points on Monday were even
larger than those of a week ago, the
total for the day amounting to 1896
900 bushels, against 100000 last week
and 1,156,000 last year. The visible
figures were not completed, but from
the points reporting it was evident
that big stock is being built up at
the terminal points, besides a very
large movement to the mills. Export
sales through seaboard houses are
being restricted at present by the fact
that permits are not being issued. This
is due to large stocks already at the
ports awaiting tonnage. and it is ap-
parent that the authorities are not in
clined to take any chances of having
the ports congested with grain which
cannot be moved promptly. Thrashing
returns from the Northwest show very
large yields, and one report from MIN
nesota said that advices from some
sections showed yields per acre as high
as forty bushels.
Corn.-Reports in the corn market
from the Southwest were very bullish
in regard to the condition of the crop
in some of the important corn states,
and as a result the market developed
decided strength, and closed with net
gains for the day of 3 to 8 II cents.
The technical position of the market
doubtless was strong as result of last
weeks selling, and when shorts at

ing crop expert, gave very pessimistic
view Of the outlook in portions Of Ne
braska and Missouri, where it was said
that much of the corn was damaged be
yond all hope of recovery. There were
also some poor reports by several rail
roads, and, altogether, the trade came
to the conclusion that the rains of last
week came too late to be Of much
value. Receipts were again small at in
terror points, but the cash demand was
slow, and the distribution at interior
points is not as rapid as it was a short
time ago.

called upon to absorb heavy selling
against country offers. Cash markets
in the West were lower, and the local
demand was slow. Exporters were said
to be out of the market, and there were
