WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Germany
must "quit cold" now-or fight the
war to the bloody finish.
She can have peace If she chooses
to accept allied terms, but In any way
the situation Is viewed, her quitting
will be surrender.
That was how the national capital
today Interpreted generally the Joint
announcement Of President Wilson's
peace answer to Germany and the oS-
fetal fact that over 100000 Yanks
had been embar to aid In finishing
the war by force should Germany
elect to fight on.
The next move Is up to the allies.
II they are disposed to act on the basis
Of the presidents peace principles,
the allied conmanders-with General
pershing-wlII frame an armistIce
which would constitute, In effect, a
surrender for Germany. Probably
war aims and peace terms will be
cleared In a conference soon, wherein
President Wilson will have representa-
tlon. The armistice terms are probably
already stated through the Versailles
conference and are expected to be
announced soon.
Germany has two alternatives. The

Sir:
| have the honor to acknow-
ledge the receipt Of your note OF
the 22nd transmitting a COM
munication under date of tho
goth from the German govern
ment and to advise you that the
president has instructed me to
reply thereto as follows:
Having received the solemn
and explicit assurance OF the
German government that 1t unre-
servedIy accepts the terms Of
peace laid down In his addresses
to the congress of the United
States on the 9th of January,
1918, and the principles of settle
ment enunciated In his subse-
quent addresses, particularly the
address of the 9th of Septem-
ber, and that 1t desires to dis
cuss the details of their apPlica-
tion and that this wish and pur-
pose emanated, not from those
who have hitherto dictated Ger
man policy and conducted the
present war on Germany's behalf,
but from ministers who speak for
the ma jority of the reichstag, and
for an overwheI eIming majority Of
the German peoples; and having
received also the explicit promise
of the present German govern
ment that the humane rules Of
civilized warfare will be observed
both on land and sea by the Ger
man armed forces, the president
of the United States, feels that
he cannot decline to take up with
the governments with which the
government of the United States
Is associated the question OF an
armistice.
He deems II his duty to say
again, however, that the only
armistIce he would feel Justified
In submitting for consideration
would be one which should leave
the United States and tho powers
associated with her In a position
to enforce any arrangements that
may be entered into and to make
a renewal of hostIllties on the
part of Germany impossible. The
president has, therefore, trans
mitted his correspondence with
the present German authorities
to the governments with which

and Her Allies.
EXTRAORDINARY SAFEGUARDS DEMANDED.

Those Who Have Been Masters of
German Policy.

the government OF the United
States is associated as beliio-
erent, with the suggestion that,
II those governments are dis
posed to effect peace upon the
terms and principles indicated,
their military advisers of the
United States be asked to sub
NIT to the governments asso-
ciated against Germany tho
necessary terms of such an ar
mistics as will fully protect the
interests Of the peoples involved
and ensure to the associated gov
ernments the unrestricted power
to safeguard and enforce phe de-
tails of the peace to which the
German government has agreed,
provided they deem an arristice
possible from the military point
of view. Should such terms of
armistlce be suggested, their ac-
ceptance by Germany will afford
the best concrete evidence OF her
unequivocaI acceptance of the
terms and principles of peace
from which the whole action pro-
ceeds.
The president would deem him
self lacking in candcr did ne not
point out in the frankest possible
terms the reason why extraordl-
nary safeguards must be demand
ed. Significant and important as
the constitutional changes seem
to be which are spoken OF by the
German foreign secretary In his
note of the goth of October, 1t
does not appear that the prln-
ciple Of government responsible
to the German people has Yet
been fully worked out or that any
guarantees either exist or are In
contemplation that the altera-
tions of principle and of practice
now partially agreed upon will be
perm anent, Moreover. it does not
appear that the heart of the pres
ent difficulty has been reached.
It may be that future wars have
been brought under the control
of the German people, but the
present war has not been; and It
is with the present war that we
are dealing. Ii is evident that
the German people have no
means of commanding the ac-
cuescence of the military authorl-
ties OF the empire in the popular
will; that the power of the king
of Prussia to control the policy
Of the empire Is unimpalred; that
the determining Initiative still re-
mains with those who have hith-
erto been the masters OF Ger
many. Feeling that the whole
peace of the world depends on
plain speaking and straishtfor-

fight it. both in the senate and on the
political field of the nation.
Also they are presenting a strong
front against continuance of peace
discussion with Germany on any
grounds save unconditional surren-
der.
Administration leaders are prepar-
ing to combat both of the issues thus
raised by the republicans. 1t is be-
lieved likely the president himself
will direct the fight. In his expected
statement to the people it is thought
he will emphasize his purposes in
conducting the peace negotiations
with Germany.
Further he is expected to clear up
his meaning on principle number
three regarding after-the-war trade in
his peace program, to expel republic
can fears that it means free trade.
Meantime as the campaign gains
momentum, both parties are inceras
ingly confident of success at the
polls November five. The great
worry of both, however, is that the
Influenza epidemic will reduce the
vote.

WHAT THE PRESIDENT TELLS
GERMANY.

Now that you "unreserved'y ac-
cent? my terms Of peace and sub
seouent conditions laid down In my
communications, I 'tcannot decline
to take up' with the allies the
question Of an armis4ice.
However, any armistice must
leave the United States and the al
lies In a position to enforce any
arrangements agreed to by Ger
many TO make a renewal Of hostiii-
ties on Germany's part impossible.
Acceptance by Germany Of such
armlstIce terms will be "the best
concrete evidence" pf her good
faith In asking peace.
But. constitutional changes
promised by Germany haven't
reached the stage where they qua
rantee the permanence Of her ac-
ceptanc Of any conditions.
Therefore, SO long as the pres
ent monarchlai autocrats Of Ger.
many remain In power the United
States and her allies could con-
slider mot peace negotiations, but
surrender"

The note was received with vary

moments of the presidents course, as
Senator Lodge. He, for Instance, felt
the president should not have taken
Gern1any's word to the extent Of pass

On the other hand there was ap-
pIause In many quarters that the pres'-

The general thought here Is that
she will read In American-allied prep

armies are still functionine as a unit.

LONDON, Oct. 24.-British troops,
with Americans cooperating, are con.
tinuing their advance on a front OF
nearly twenty miles south of yalen'
ciennes, according to the latest re-
ports received here.
A penetration of nearly four miles
was made at some points yesterday.
They carried their lines to within
two miles of the western edge OF the
Normal forest, which forms the prin-
cipaI western defense of the great
fortress city of Maubege. and were
within less than four miles OF the
railway center Of LeQuesnoy.
The fighting in Belgium resulted in
diminished allied progress owing to
the stiffening German resistance.
Capture Of Waereghem, seven miles
northwest of Audenarde was the only
important success gained.
Lively fighting continued in the
youziers region, where German coun-
ter attacks were repulsed. The
French made some progress west Of
Grandpre, while the Americans made
important gains at various points be-
tween Grandpre and the Meuse.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES
IN FRANCE, Oct. 2S.-(night)-The
Americans after repulsing series OF
heavy counter attacks, have again as
sumed the initiative on the whole
front between Grandpre and the
Meuse.
In a number of closely allied local
operations, they have reoccupied sew
eral positions which were temporarily
coded to the Germans. These ad-
vances have again carried them north
of Grandpre, and Bantheville and Br1-

Two new enemy divisions have
been thrown into this front, and there
are now more than thirty German dl-
visions opposing the Americans on
this front.
Reports have been received indicat-

the entire west front has reached the
lowest mark since the first few
months of the war. British, French

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.--Turkey
must surrender Internationally or
succumb to an allied drive on Con
stantinople.
Turk agents in Switzerland are in
touch with allied representatives ac-
cording to an authoritative diplomatic
source here today. Complete sur
render is being demanded of Twefik's
government Unless this demand is
complied with on short order, allied
forces will move on Constanttnople.
Greek and allied troops have pre-
pared themselves for a rapid push
across the edeagatchAdrianople
line. They are being held in readi-
ness and are amply equipped for a
hot fight. Occupation of CONSTANT
nople would only be a matter Of
days, it was stated in diplomatic
quarters.

The allies insistence that CONSTANT

1t was from the ways of this great

had a part in this work and there he
saw the evolution of the American
navy worked out. Today Mr.. Ben
nett, aged 68, is retired, living at
Cos Gates Avenue, Brooklyn. He is
still the conservative, carefully speak
ing man Of the navy yard days, and
SO the story he recently told will
have added force.

added.
Tanlac, the reconstructive, system

to the root of such troubles as Mr..
Bennett had. 1t is designed to create
real digestion and assimilation of
food that is good and nourishing and

WHY 1T IS NECESSARY
TO EAT LESS FATS

The chief source Of fats for eating
is in dairy products. We are able to
produce no more of these now than
before the war. Yet last year we
sent our fighting associates three
times as much butter and ten times
as much condensed milk as we used
to send them. Because their hogs are
decreasing, we must send them more
lard.
The American people are the great
est fat wasters in the world In 1916
the fat consumption per capita in the
United States was 1876 pounds, which
is more than three times the amount
provided by the Standard Balanced
Ration, and seven times what the war
ration allows the German people. Fats
are useful in many ways in the pro-
duction Of munitions and other things
needed to win the war. We must
stop wasting fats when our soldiers,
our sailors, and our fighting asso-
ciates need them SO desperately.
