RELAXATION NOW WOULD
MEAN DEFEAT.

After writing his reply to the
German peace offer Monday af-
ternoon President Wilson renewed
his urgent request for support of
the fourth Liberty loan in the fol-
lowing formal statement to the
American people:
"The reply Of the German gov
ernment to my note Of inquiry dat
ed Oct. 9th gives occasion for me
to say to my fellow-countrymen
that neither that reply nor any
recent events have in any way di-
minished the vital importance of
the Liberty loan. Relaxation now,
hesitation now, would mean defeat
when victory seems to be in sight;
would mean years of war instead
of peace upon our own terms.
81 earnestly request every pa
triotic American to leave to the
governments of the United States
and of the allies the momentous
discussion initiated by Germany
and to remember that for each man
his duty is to strengthen the hands
of these governments and to do it
in the most important way now
Immediately presented-by SUBJ
scribipg to the utmost of his abili-
ty for bonds of the fourth Liberty
loan. That loan must be success

people will not fail to see their

man government accepting the Presi-

It was said that at recent meeting

In the light Of this situation the

GERMANY IS EXPECTED TO
ACCEPT WILSON'S TERMS
Reports Are Current That Kaiser Has
Abdicated.

A London dispatch states that the
German reply to President Wilson is
expected to be communicated imme-
diately and that it is likely to consti-
tute general acceptance Of the Pres
ident's conditions, with some stipula-
tion to the effect that the interests of
the German people must be respected.
Last nights news of Germany was
regarded in Washington as the shad-
CIV of great events being cast before
them.
Reports have been current that the
Kaiser has abdicated but have not
been confirmed.

o'clock Monday evening.
One outstanding point which does
not appear in the Presidents note-a
point on which the world has been
asking questions-can be answered
now.
When the President declared that
the wrong done to France when Ger
many took Alsace-Lorraine should be
righted, he meant that Alsace-Lor-
raine should be returned to France:
Those who contend that the Presi-
dents decision arranges the situation
for something more than an uncondi-
tional surrender base it on the argu-
ment that he has now passed the stage
| where he might have accepted sur
render of the German military and
naval forces and left the Hohenzollern
autocracy on its throne.
Mr.. Wilson according to this view
has now finally informed the Ger
man people. that if they want peace
they can only attain it by getting rio
4 of the kaiser and his system.

will be found elsewhere in this issue
