Unconditional Surrender
 General Interpretation
 of Pres. Wilson's Reply
tContinued from Page onel

London, Oct 15-The text of Presi- dent Wilson's reply to the German peace offer received through press channels; was placed in the hands of the members of the British govern ment early today. The council met shortly after II o'clock to consider the Presidents response
 London, Oct 15-'"The German au- tocracy must go," Is the heading placed over President Wilson's reply to the German peace note by the Lib eral Star, which. like most of the Lib eral papers considers this one of the first conditions of peace with the Cen tral powers.
 Basel, Monday, Oct -America's failure to respond to the Austrian peace note has produced painful im- pressioo in Austria, according to a Vienna despatch to the Frankfort Ga zette. It is not known what this si- fence means and thep ub1ic is asking if President Wilson is not indicating sentiment little favorable toward the Austrian monarchy.

EFFORT TO HAVE
 CONFERENCE OF
 CHURCHES FAILS

Washington, Oct. 15,---wide and persistent efforts having their origin in Berlin have been made to get the churches of both neutral and hellig- erent countries to call a conference, which under another name, virtually would be a peace conference, While the movement received much support in Sweden. Holland and Switzerland. it has not met w,.h favor in the en- tente countries and America
 Dr. Charles S. MacFariaad, general secretary of the Federal Council of Churches Of Christ in America, tn- quired into the matter on his recent trip to Europe and his report was made public today by the council. Dr. Mcfarland said he was quite sure that there had been efforts em- anating from Germany to influence the churches of both neutral and war ring nations on the side of the con- ference.
 It is felt in France, Dr. MaeFarland Said, that 1t would be dishonorable tc comply with the invitation for the meeting, which was sent out by the archbishop of Upsala, Sweden. in as- +sociation with ecclesiastical officials in Norway and Denmark The French churches want peace. he said, but only an honorable peace.
 The council did not reply to the in- vitation, awaiting the result of Dr. Netherlands inquiry. His report says nothing should be allowed to bring any weakening influence to bear among our moral and spiritual forces in resisting and defeating the un- scrupufous, vain glorious utterly un- trustworthy power which the churches of Germany are clearly supporting with undivided strength
