Senator Jones asserts in his mbemo-

suit of the adoption of his resolution

Mictell Palmer, the alien property
custodian, also are referred to by SEN

The documentary evidence which Is
obtainable from these sources, Senator
Jones contends, will establish facts as

There is slight hope in the capital
tonight that Germany will answer

be tantamount TO unconditional sur

on every side, such answers would

WASHINGTON OCT s-Presifent
Wilson. in note OF inquiry Dispatch
ed to the German government this
afternoon asks three questions which.
If answered one way, mean an end to
the war. This is because the answers
would be equivalent TO unconditional
surrender.
II answered in another way they
mean that the same memorable re-
aforementioned surrender-would
be the fate Of Germany. but 1t Will
be obtained through military supre-
macy and not diplomacy. The presi-
dent leaves the door to peace ajar.
but IL Germany looks in she will see
only the fatal handwriting on the
wall---unconditional surrender There
is no escape from it. The words them
selves do not appear anywhere in the
presidents note, yet they seem to pop
out from every paragraph and this
is why.
The first quest ion asked by the
president is whether or not the i'm
perial chancellor. Prince Max OF
Baden. to whom the questionable is
addressed. means that the imperial
German government is ready to ac-
cept all of the principles the presi-
dent has laid down as necessary for
peace ana tndV It's OBJECT IN entering
into discussions would be only to
agree upon the practical details of
their application ?"
The second Interrogation. which
goes hand in hand with the first, has
to do with the proposal of an armis-
tice. The president says that before
he could propose a cessation OF hos
tillties to the allies, and before good
faith could be established in any dis
cussion Germany would have to con-
sent to withdraw her fefees from All
occupied territory. Therefore. does
she so consent?
The third question is a request for
the new chancellor to tell IL he is
speaking merely for the constituted
authorities OF the empire who have
SO far conducted the war.
Must Accept Principles.
The entire matter resolves itself
into the fact that it is impossible to
discuss peace in any manner until
Germany accepts without further ado
the fourteen principles set forth by
the president In his address to con-
gress. on January and In subsequent
addresses dealing with the subject OF
peace: also that no discussion can be
begun until Germany has first signi-
fed her willingness to withdraw all
