FORE|GNSECRETARYS OLF|
DEFENDS HUN METHODS
Denies Charges Of Wanton Cruelty
and Devastation by Troops
in Their Retreat.

AMSTERDAM, October 13.-Dr. W.
Solf, the German imperial foreign
secretary, in an interview sent broad
cast by the Wolff Bureau, the Ger
man semi official news agency, is
quoted as saying:
1.-The particularly malicious cam
paign of Indictment, with which a
part of the enemy news service has
accompanied the present crisis of the
war. is the continually rejected accu-
sation that in our retreat We have
purposely and systematically devas-
tated occupied French territory. 1t
is untrue that our troops slaughter
wounded, Intentionally blow up hos
pitfalls and schools, rob churches and
commit other crimes against enemy
prisoners and populations.
1.-The work of destruction in
our retreat, as In every operation of
retirement in history, was unavoid-
able and has everywhere been re-
stricted to measures of really indis-
pensable harshness, which are in
tended to prevent retiring army
from leaving in the hands of the
enemy bases which, to a great eX-
tent, are of military character"
DR.. Solf asked if the bonlbardment
of French towns by the British and
French was a military necessity.
''Have they no thought for the suf-
ferings of the civilian population?' he
continued, (which leave endangered
places in swarms in pouring rain and
toll along all roads to Belgium in
quest of protection? The feeding of
this civilian population in fight is
occupation authorities. Indeed, they
scarcely can cope with this task"

Browns at Negotiations.

EEclain says:
IF Mr.. Wilson is satisfied with Ger
lmany's answer, and transmits the re-
quest for an armistice to the allies,
' there will be a diplomatic battle to win.
We must not undertake anything that
savers Of negotia lions. The military must
announce the conditions. of the suSpen-
sion of arms. One single man must
speak-Foch.'
The Matin says:
1.-THE idea of 4 representative COM

on an equal footing. There are only
two personages in an armistice, name
". the condueror and the vanquished.

cause the Finnish diet, having, by a
coup d'etat, substituted a monarchy

FINLAND ASKS GERMANY

Agitation Has Begun in Favor of

STOCKHOLM, October 13-The Fin

to withdraw her troops from Finland.
The request was recently delivered
high commander, on Finnish territory.
The republican and socialist papers
of Finland have begun an agitation in
favor of an approach by Finland to
the entente, alleging that the recent
policy of the government in connec-
ton with Germany has been unneu-
trail.

Hun Constitution Unchanged.

-Regarding Germany's parliamentary
; assurances, they are mere dupficity.
Not one line of the imperial constitu-
/ tion has been changed. It is true that
! Prince Maximilian of Baden has been
forced to construct his ministry in ac-
cordance with the will of the ma jority,
F.; but it is also true that this majority
| has not the power to reverse him.
The Temps concludes it's editorial
I thus:
1.-THE leaders Of Germany are done for.
They must at any cost secure a respite
TO regain their standing with their army
and with their people. To discuss with
them is to give them back their pres
| tige, to treat with them would be TO
save them. Let therl be told at the
| earliest moment possible to address
/ themselves to Marshal Foch.''

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, October 13.-The reply OF
the German government to Presi-
dent Wilson's questions is considered
here to indicate that Germany's dip
lomatic front is as flexible as her
military front
Some of the commentators find the
reply SO worded as to show the hope
OF the Germans that it will result in
cleavage between the allies. Gen.
LA. Croix, in the Temps. says:
Foch Sole Judge, Temps Says.
..Germany's acceptance of Presi-
dent Wilson's conditions is an avowal
otdefeat. Foch is the sole judge from
the military point of view and 1Till
know how to exact the nece Ary
guarantees from the enemy and what
territorial occupations must be i'm
posed"
Almost all the newspapers express
similar views.
In addition to recalling Bismarck's
ruthless methods in the 1871 armlS-
tice. it is pointed out by some of the
newspapers that when the Germans in
1914 sought to secure Frances neu-
trAlity Germany was not willing to
accept Frances word, but demanded
Verdun as a guarantee.
Papers Not Enthusing Over Reply.
The Paris newspapers do not seem
TO enthuse over the German reply to
President Wilson's note. More space
Is given to the news Of the military
successes won by the allies than to
the discussion of the German docu-
ment
In the popular discussion Of the re-
ply the suspicion persists that Ger
many is evading the issue in some
respects, at least the feeling being
that she has not gone far enough. 1t
is pointed out that the German consti-
tuition is as yet unchanged, and that
If it may be said the government is
responsible to the people it is likewise
responsible to the emperor.
"Military' Surrender Demanded.
1t is further inquired: If there is to
be surrender. why should it not he
surrender to Marshal Foch, the al
lied Communicated who alone
can accept the kind of a surrender
the allies desire? 1t is contended in
some quarters that since Germany's
response is an admission of military
defeat there ought to be a military
surrender. Since victory is with the
allies, it is held they should retain it
and not allow themselves to be drawn
into battle of diplomacy.
