WASHINGTON, oct. -. - Ger
manys reply TO President Wilson's
Inquiry, intercepted az It was being
sent by the great wireless towers at
Nauen and forwardd here tonight in
an official dispatch from France. de-
clares that Germany is ready to ac-
cept President Wilson's peace terms,
evacuate the invaded territory as a
prerequisite to an armistice and that
the bid for peace represents the>Ger-
man people as well a. the govern

Although on It's face, the text OF
the German note gems to he a COM
plete acceptance OF President Will
sons terms. the people ~ tho United
states and the allied countries should
be cautioned against accepting II as
such a compliance Of the presidents :
demands as will mean immediate
cessation OF hostilities.
As President Wilson was In New
york tonight, and reserved comment
on the note, his views cannot he

family here in Washington cared to

here were very positive az not ac-

Should President Wilson finally
decide that there IS enough SINGER

The greatest danger facing the

Metropolitan opera house. President
Wilson received from The Associa-
ted Press the unofficial text of the
most momentous diplomatic note In

that he would have no comment to
make.
Publication OF the German reply
TO the presidents inquiries as to its

The text reached New York only
short time before Mr.. Wilson and
his party left the Waldorf-Astoria

sumption was that II previously had

to whether MIR. Wilson had been in
formed OF the German reply.

Mr.. Tumulty showed plainly his
ama@ement and replied that MIR.
Wilson had not seen the note, and
the secretary requested that the text
be telegraphed To him at once. He
announced, however, that the presi-
dent could not indicate in the slight
est degree what his answer would be
until he had opportunity to study the
official text.
The reply was sent Immediately to

seated with Colonel r. NJ. House.

II was read with most intense inter-
est. Soon thereafter Secretary Tu
multy disappeared and 1t was as
sumed he was in telephone COM
munication with Secretary Of Sta.e

Mrs. Wilson, Miss Margaret Wilson,
