At this juncture II is unlikely that
any responsible British minister will
make any detailed declaration on tho
situation arising from Germanys re-

Hun Promises WORTHLESS.
ON the face of Il the German
note, according to an authoritative
source. seems TO lie an acceptance
not only OF the points OF the preAi-
DENTS declaration In January, but
also OF his subsequent statements.
II may thus be said TO look as IL the
Germans meant acceptance, but, OF
course, II waH pointed out. the real

shown an utter disregard OF obllKa-
tions 10 speak the truth or keep

The reply was received In London

the morning newspapers. however.
expressions OF suspicion were heard
on all sides. Many searched the note
for some evidence that might bo n

utter destruction, but most Of tho
people are awaiting an authoritative
lead before forming definite opln-
Ion.
Surrender II Demanded.
Unconditional surrender" Is rap

German document, and many would
not be satisfied with anything less.
This feeling is accentuated by the
German attempt 10 destroy Cambrai
and the razing OF villages by the
enemy In his great retreat. as we'll

all these being acts from which no
military advantage could be gained.
The reply did not surprise soldiers

crowded this morning In the expec-
tatlon that some reference TO the
situation would be made in the ser

The 'rimee thus summarizes its
views on the latest German peace
