President Wilson Has Official ~
Text Of Germany's Peace Note;
Conference Called at White House
WILSON'S NOTE TO GERMANY AND HUNS REPLY
MIR. WILSON'S NOTE.

President Wilson's reply to the German
peace offer. made public last Wednesday,
signed by Secretary Lansing and transmitted
through the Swiss legation, follows: ~,
Sir-I have the honor to acknowledge, on
behalf of the president, your note of October
G, enclosing the communication from the Ger
man government to the president, and ! am
instructed by the president to request you to
make the following communication to the
Imperial German chancellor: %sG
Before making reply to the request of the
imperial German government, and in order
that the reply shall be candid and straight
forward as momentous interests involved re-
quire, the president of the United States
deems it necessary to assure himself of the
exact meaning of the note of the imperial
chancellor.
Does the imperial chancellor mean that
the imperial German government accepts the
terms laid down by the president in his ad-
dress to the congress of the United States on
the 9Th day of January last, and in subse-
81 quent addresses and that it's objects in enter
ing into discussions would be only to agree
upon the practical details of their appica-
ton?
'The president feels bound to say with re-
gard to the suggestion of an armistice that he
would not feel at liberty to propose cessa-
tion of arms to the governments with which
the government of the United States is asso-
ciated against the central powers, so long as
the1armies of those powers are upon their
SOIL ~
,'The good faith of any discussion would
manifestly depend upon the consent of the
central powers Immediately to withdraw
their forces everywhere from invaded terri
tory. .. ~. ~- -
. "The president also feels that he is justi-
fed in asking whether the imperial. chancel-
lor is speaking merely for the constituted au-
thorities of the empire who have so far con-
Quoted the war. He deems the answer to
these questions vital from every point Of
view. .Sr
Accept, sir, the renewed assurance of my
high consideration.
