from the military point Of view.
Should such terms OF Armistice be
suggested, their aeeeptanes By
Germany win afford the best con-
crete evidence Of her unequiVocal
acceptance Of the terms and prin-
ciples OF peace from which the
whole nation proceeds.
The President would deem
himself lacking in candor did
he not point out in the frank
est possible terms the reason
why extraordinary safeguards
must be demanded Significant
and important as the constitu-
tional changes seem to be which
are spoken OF by the German
foreign secretary in his note OF
the twentieth Of October. IL does
not appear that the principle OF
a 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-
LlOu5 OF anu VI PEoCNACGs
now partially agreed upon, will
be permanent. Moreover. II does
not appear that the heart OF the
present difficulty has been
reached 1t may be that future
wars have been brought under
the control OF the German peo-
pie. but the present war has not
been; and II Is with the present
war that we are dealing. II IL
evident that the German people
have no means Of commanding
the acquiescence OF the military
authorities Of the empire In the
popular will that the power OF
the King OF Prussia to control
the policy OF the empire is un-
impaired; that the determining
initiative still remains with those
who have hitherto been the mas
ters OF Germany.
Feeling that the whole peace Of
the world depends now on plain
speaking and straightforward ac-
tion, the President deems II his
duty to say, without any attempt
to soften what may seem harsh
words. that the nations OF the
W hON anu
the word of those who have
hitherto been the masters of Ger
man policy. and to point out once
more that in concluding peace and
attempting TO undo the INFINITE
injuries and intustices OF this
war the Government OF the
United States cannot deal
with any but Veritable repre-
SentatiVes of the German people
who have been assured OF a genu-
inc constitutional standing as
the real rulers OF Germany. II II
must deal with the military mas
ters and the monarchial autocratS
Of Gepnany now, or II II Is likely
TO have to deal with them later

legations OF the German empire, Il

sential thing unsaid.

everlasting gratitude of Provost
Marshal General Crowder, his chief,
last year by breaking the law and
having 30,000,000 draft cards printed
before congress had passed the law

of lives In that they expedited In

General Johnson has been placed
