or panic. but show to all quiet trust
in the Fathers care and the Father
love for His children. We recommend
that they be as helpful as possible to
neighbors and others, to the limit OF
their physical endurance and their
financial means.
-. We suggest that the minds
OF our people be taken Off of material
matters, as far as possible, and fixed
upon the spiritual lessons of the war
and the prevailing epidemic. and that
our patriotism be not OF worldly
kind. but Christian patriotism that
distinguishes between mere love OF
country and love OF our fellowmen.

said:

statements from the German chancel-
Tor. Certainly this answer appears to
be great Improvement over anything
we have had.
II do not believe that IT can be ac-
cepted without many qualifications
and without guarantees
Much discussion of this reply will
turn upon the sentences dealing with
the answer OF Prince Max as to the
authority by which he makes the peace
offer.
No Power to Make Contract.
1T does not seem to me that the
chancellor or the reichstag Is IN a
position to make a contract. They
have not the authority and they will
not have such authority until there is

In the event this proves to

Washington Oct. III G
reply of Prince Max, of Baden,
imperial German chancellor, to
President Wilson's note of in
quiry reached the capital to-
night.
AT first reading it appears to
be equivalent to unconditional
surrender on the part Of both
Germany and Austria. But the
admonition to take the reply
with a grain Of saIt--an ad-
monition issued today by high
government officials - holds
good tonight.
The text Of the note was re-
ceived in a Naucn wireless dis
patch via France and is there
fore unofficial. Until the Off
cial note is delivered in person
to Secretary of State la ~
by Frederick Oederlin the
Swiss charge d 'affaires. this
government will have no Off
cial statement. The official text
had not been received tonight
at the Swiss legation.
For one thing, officials to-
night were suspicious of tn.
communication because of its
virgin. It is a Nauen disp4+ en-
and all Nauen dispatches in .he
past have been but samples Of
German propaganda.
The main point, howe Her, is
fonnd ii The German fkance1-
lor's response to the preSi
dents third question. Prince
Max says he speaks in the
name of the German govern
ment and the German ocoplc
and ostensiblv gives the i'm
preston that great ref rms

state, is not the case. His
words in this respect. i: was

The German answer to President

of its kind in the history of tho en-
pire to speak OF the German govern
ment' 1t is the first note OF it's kind
TO omit the word imperial
This led to the conclusion in some
quarters here tonight that the per-
sistent rumors and reports OF the last
few days concerning a ''dynastic con-
vuIsion" in Beriin-some going so far
as TO say that the kaiser has abdi-
cated--may indeed prove to be SUBJ
stantiated by fact
Significant, ii Is the fact pointed out
in Universal Service dispatches during
the past week, that under the con-
stitution of the German empire, the
kaiser has the exclusive right OF
making peace, independent of the
sanction of the bundesrat and reich
stag
The German answer takes pains te
state that the present German gov
eminent has undertaken the respon-
sibility for this step toward peace.
which may he construed 10 mean that
it has taken the action regardless oi
the kaisers will or wish. Cahied re-
ports yesterday were TO the effect
that the kaiser opposed the peace &C
ton. and that II was taken In direc,
opposition to his views.
I'm rssrt~r~ where great significance
Is attached to the omission of al
references to his majesty and o,
the word sim periar' II was suggested
that. If the revolutionary change. sc
persistently rumored, has actually
taken place. the Berlin government,
would conceal it from the German
people and armies until the moment
an armstice was signed in order 10

forces. especially the hard beset Ger
man armies in the west.
AS was pointed out in recent Uni
versal Service dispatches the German
army and navy owes allegiance solely
TO the kaiser as commander in chief
who some years ago expressed his
view of his capacity as supreme war
lord, by saying in a public speech
that II called upon German soldiers
to obey him, would even have,to shoot
down their own fathers and brothers
Abdication of the kaiser would
compel sudden transferrence OF
allegiance by the German army and
navy TO his successor on the throne
or. in case a republic is founded. to
the provisional president. Such a
transference in the hour of creates,
military menace would. IL is believed
entail unprecedented confusion and
would necessarily result in collapse
of the German armies
Another significant fact in the Ger
man answer is that referring TO arrnis-
tice, which speaks of "the German
government In accordance with the

mentioning Turkey.
