GERMANY WON'T ACCEPT
 WILSON'S PEACE TERMS
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
 Amsterdam, Oct. 17.-Dispatches from Berlin tonight indicate a strong anti-Wilson tendency not only in military quarters, but also in those which have favored peace
 For example, Herr Gcthein, mem- ber of the Reichstag, writing in the zeitung Am Mittag. declares Presi- dent Wilson has given a death blow to the idea of league of nations.
 His position, the writer asserts, is one of brute force rather than equal rights, and Germany would enter a league under such conditions with feelings of undesirable bitterness" :"
 Gothein asserts that the idea of surrendering at the discretion of the allies makes the blood of even the most confirmed pacifict boil and adds that although he always has opposed unrestricted submarine warfare, it's relinquishment means an extraordi- nary weakening of the German mili- tarE position.
 The Cologne Gazette publishes a manifesto of the conservative party signed by Count Friedrich Von Wes- tarp and other members of the par ty, declaring that after President Wilson's reply the contest of arms must be fought out to a finish.
 It paints a terrible picture of the fate that would befall an invaded Fatherland.
 A despatch to the Cologne volks Zeitung from Berlin states that there will be exhaustive deliberations be- tween the Reichstag, the Federal council and the Supreme command, as well as the leaders of all parties be- fore a decision is reached concerning a repl yto Mr. Wilson's note.
 It is said to be probable the Reich stag will not re-assemble until next week.
