 Allies.

LONDON, Oct. g. - Diplomatic circles everywhere feel that Presi' dent Wilson was wise in refraining from a flat rejection of the Germans offer. 1t is believed that the Presl- dent displays the same skept'cIsm as do the Allied statesmen regarding Germany's good faith.

WILSON'S REPLY LOGICAL

LONDON, Oct g. - Diplomatic circles regard President Wilson's reply as clever and logical.
 r-y~5vy EF1
 WASHINGTON. Oct. 9.-President Wilson's reply to the German pro posals is hailed by diplomats as a master stroke.
 It leaves open way for peace and at the same time faces the militar- ists with a question which will bring peace or leave them in an embarass- ing situation with the people in their own countries.
 The request for an armistice IS firmly rejected on the principle that good faith for peace can hardly be considered so long as armies of the General Powers remain on Allied soil.
 In answer to the inquiry formu lated by President Wilson, nothing is now left for Germany except to say whether she is ready to accept reign of law, with the consent ol the governed, or wants to negotiate without one, or whether she wants to appeal from the beaten milltar ists, or the war ridden people, and | is ready to make lasting peace.

A few days ago I happened to be do
ing guard duty where the Motor Me
charfcs are camped and witnessed the
following:
The first relief Of the new guard war
being posted and had arrived at No. {
post The new sentry advanced and
waited patiently for the old sentry .ta
pass on any special orders he may have
had but none were forthcoming except
that the post was just where he stood
The corporal Of the guard then asked
the old sentry if he was given any spe-
eial orders and the sentry replied: Yes
but four men moved them away about
half an hour ago"
He had been guarding tent which?
was under quarantine and as the quar-
antine was lifted and the tent with its
occupants removed, he no longer had any
special orders.
