Peace is up to Germany, More Squarely Than
Ever Before, as Result of Wilson's Query
to Prince Max of Berlin.
EVACUATION BEFORE ANY PEACE PARLEYS
Presidents Reply to Kaiser's Offer, is Notice
That Allies Will Press Onward Until
Their Demands are Met.

Fifth. calls sharply to the attention
of the German people that her leaders
are doubted; opens the way for them
to overthrow these leaders, II, after
preaching peace. they fail to meet
the requirements of honesty and
sincerely as the Wilson query re-
qi,.ss
The general thought here was that
the inquiry Is even more effective than
! a curt, or clustering demand for un-
conditional surrender would nave
been.
1t meets the allied requirements that
there be rejection of any tnsincere
proposals, while it leaves the door
open to acceptance of a genuine pro-
posal sQuartng with allied-American
demands.
This feature OF the inquiry is dis
t1nctly concession to allied opinion.
Diplomats here were frankly fearful
that curt demand for surrender
would have bolstered up German NOR
ale. encouraging the Teurons to fight
the harder under the plea that they
were battling for their existence. The
allied consultations developed the idea
that a short, sharp reply would cause
unrest of suspicion among the labor
and Lansdowne elements abroad. Such
an answer, it was felt, would not meet
the approval of groups, who perhaps
might fail to see the evident insincer-
ity of the German maneuver.
At the same time 1t was believed
that the president had given real
punch" to his remarks by making the
demand for evacuation as a peace
preliminary. This goes farther than
any demand to date and even those
who criticized the form. held that the
substance Of that paragraph showed
clearly that there is no disposition to
talk peace except on our terms.
Entente diplomats We're plainly re-
lieved at the method the president pur-
sued They designated this action as
notice to Germany that she must
come around to the American-allied
viewpoint, or be punished into defeat
by the onward pressing United States
allied armies.
1t has long been an allied condition
that evacuation must precede any
peace parleys. President Wilson in
cludes that for the first time and it
was said today he meant evacuation
OF France, Belgium, Serbia, Italy and
Roumania and removal Of submarines
from the high seas
Neither the allies nor America will

the burden for continued war upor

open and did not meet xneir expecta.
tons.
The first reaction, in general here
was disappointment that the presi-
dent had asked questions Of Ger
many, instead of making flat-footed
statement Of unconditional surren-
DER or something equally strong.
But overnight consideration Of the
message turned many mems views
and there was an inclination today
among those who first complained to
share the administration belief that
Germany now either must make
peace on strictly American terms. or
find herself in a diplomatic difficulty
before her own people and the world.
The feeling on the whole was that
President Wilson had shown absolute
ly no signs Of weakness, but on the
contrary had given Germany de-
cidely stiff jolt when he demanded
that there should be a complete with
drawal from occupied territories be-
fore any peace could be considered.
AS seen in government quarters the
inquiry does these things:
First, lays the groundwork for re-
lection of Germany's overtures later,
If Germany fails to meet the presi-
dents term frankly and squarely.
Second, makes Germany accept the
presidents terms as whole in good
faith and withdraw her armies from
allied soil or convicts the war lords
of insincerity before their own people
and before the world.
Third, gives advance notice that
the allies and America will fight on
until occupied territory is cleared and
until Germany is ready to accept plain
justice as laid down by the presidents
various speeches.
Fourth. lays the foundations for
new pronounciamento to Germany,
that If Max Is not a representative OF
the German masses, as he assuredly Is
not, no diplomatic peace dealings can
be had with him.
