M. Lausanne Calls
or Restitution

Here, Insists Germany

Crush Out German
ism Forever

Stephane Lauzanne, member Of the
French high ccmission to the United
States and editor of "Le Matin," gave
the answer of Frenchmen to the Ger
man peace plea last night at the Hor-
ace Mann auditorium.
The French commissioner had been
invited to address the opening session
Of the Columbia University Institute
OF Arts and Sciences. 1t afforded him
the first opportunity he has had to
make public reply to the German peace
proposals.
Reparation, restitution and guaran-
tees, NJ. Lauzanne declared to be the
only peace terms which France would
consider. He warned al the same time
against too great generosity because,
as he expressed it, generosity means
weakness with certain people, and we
have not the right to be weak"
Liberty Must Be Restored
Our ideal" said the speaker, ais TO
restore in Europe spirit of liberty.
OF humanity, but above all Of respect
for international law.
Inc SplIil Oh Ilperty, continued NJ
Lauzanne, will only be restored when
the spirit of brutality, OF aggression
and Of domination as symbolized by
the Prussian militarism has been
wiped out. 1t shall go when the Ger
mans realize that they are not the
STRONGEST but the weakest; when they
realize they are not to dictate terms Of
peace, but to accept them
keparatlon there cannot be for the
Cathedral Of Rheims, for the slaughter
of women and children, but there are
some things for which there can be
reparatlon. Treasures of art have been
taken away from all the museums of
the North of France and Belgium. Thev
must come back.
Indemnities Must Be Restored
All the great cities of Belgium and
OF the north of France have been
Obliged to pay enormous indemnities
OF war to Germany. These indemnities
amount to more than one billion dol
lars. This one billion must come
back. No indemnities, quite so, we
agree to that. But precisely because
there must be no indemnities ali The
lndemnities already extorted must be
made good
Just as we want reparation we
want restitution. We want restitu-
ton OF all the territories occupied
by Germany. and in France we can
not make any difference between the
territories occupied since forty-seven
months and the territories occupied
SINCE torty-seven years.
Just as we want reparation anC
restitution. we want guarantees. And
those arc our terms of peace.

guns are speaking magnificently to-
day They will speak still better in

Britain to Demand
Guarantees Before
Conceding Truce

LONDON, Oct. l4.-While certain de-
vclopments are taking place, the Cen
tral News Agency says it learns, it
can be said that the British govern
ment will resolutcly oppose the grant
ing of any armistce to Germany unless
naval, are Forthcoming.
1t is learned in authoritative quar-
ters, says Reuters, Limited. that there
is no prospect of an early armistice as
the result Of Germanys overtures.
Further, it is stated, when the time
is ripe for considering the question, an
armistice will not be granted or even
considered without the accompanying
naval and military guarantees that Ger
many is not merely ready to sheathe
the sword, but is absolutely powerless
to resume hostilities.
Lord Reading, British Ambassador to
the United States, was summoned to a

Lloyd George, presumably to give the

President Wilson's war views.

ferred with Foreign Secretary Balfour

Premier Lloyd George before the Cabi-

Justice is merciful when there re

there are none it behooves justice to

in his capacity as Chief Justice at p

Lodge Commends
Presidents Answer

WASHINGTON, Oct. l4.-Senator
Lodge, of Massachusetts,, the Republican
leader who has vigorously criticised
the Presidents course in directing a
note Of inquiry to Germany after re-
ceipt of the peace offer, was among the
first Senators to issue public state
nlent tonight commencing the Prcsi-
dents reply.
81 am very glad and genuinely
pleased" said Senator Lodge, that the
President takes the ground which he
does. OF course everything he says
about the conduct of the German gov
ernment, the German army and the
German navy s absolutely true. Such
conduct is quite sufficient in itself to
put an end to any talk about an armis-
tice.
"The Presidents last clause. in
which he in substance declines to carry
, on any discussions with the German
government, is eminently satisfactory

"The Chronicle" believes that Presi-
dent Wilson may wish some or all of
Germany's answers to be made more
specific especially that regarding the
authority of Prince Maximilian's gov
ernment Assuming that he will be
satisfied as to this point, the paper
contends that no peace discussion is
rossinle without final cessation OF
fighting.
Skeptical of the declaration that the
German government represents the
people, "The Telegraph points out the
fact that the German Emperor appoints
the Chancellor, who names his own
ministry. The paper is emphatic that
the question OF an armistice must be in
the hands Of Marshal Foch, but insists
that one could not possibly be granted
without adequate guarantees, for in
stance the surrender Of certain strate-
pic points in Germany.

Northclife Warns

LONDON, Oct l4--"The speed Of

fighting to gain days, even hours AS
read their reply, it is neither candid
nor straightforward. 1t consists of
evasions. These evasions are made for
the purpose Of unbalancing the minds
of simple folk in Allied countries and
for the purpose of convincing the dis
contented section of the German people
that the Allies will not accept what is
declared by them to look like reason

editorial expressions from New York

that it is likewise the answer of the
British and French peoples. Democ-

The Sun
"rhe response OF the American peo-
PIE to the attitude and declared pur-
pose of the President was instantane-
GUS and unmistakable. We have un-
derstood him, and we believe the coun-
try has understood him, to mean that
the Hohenzollern dynasty shall go;
that Prussian miiitarism shall be for
ever deprived OF its power to outrage
and destroy the homes and works of
peaceful civilization; that there shall
be full attainment of the objects
scheduled in the programme set forth

taken IN cooperation with the Allied
