ALLIED NATIONS
TO ALL ENDORSE
WILSON'S REPLY

LONDON, Oct 16.-Declaring that
every allied country will endorse
President Wilson's note to Germany,
the Chronicle says:
There is no closing of the door on
negotiation and yet there is no open
ing for a side-tracking correspond
ence nor a retirement in the silence.
There is in the note no pretext for
ambiguity or misconstruction.
President Wilson points out that
the acceptance of his terms means
the end of Hohenzollernism, and he
undoubtedly speaks the mind of all
the allied democracies. We have to
insist upon its removal by a process
OF eradication on which there can be
mo going back
