W NaBhingtona oct l6.-Tonight's
news Of Germany is everywhere re-
garded here as the shadow of great
events being cast before them. There
is in Washington no official word that
the kaiser has abdicated; or that he
has been oyerthrown; or that Germany
is ready to accept all Of President Will
sons terms.
Officials and diplomats, cautious
and conservative by nature and prac-
tice, regard with increduluity the IN
timation that one or all of those things
has happened. or course they all
hope they have; they know that one
or all OF them are Inevitable
The Official opinion in the cap
itol tonight IL that coming of these
things is timed only by the unknown
degree to which the German mill
tary power has been broken. There
may be more information on that point
in the chancellories of England, France
and ITALY than there is in Washing.
tou
When President Wilson's reply to
the German peace proffer went forth
Monday nisht, 1t was predicted here
that if it did not bring a complete
and unconditional surrendar of the
military autocracy the German peo-
pie themselves would force one.
President Wilson's words were j
plain incitation to the German people
to take such a step and anultima-
tum that there would be no peace
with kaiserism.
The coming hours will SHOW how
the leaven has worked the intima-
tions in todays dispatch from London
Paris and Holland suggest the pro
gress for the ferment.
Most significant Of all is regard
ed the report from Holland, by way OF
London that Germany will reply i'm
mediately to president Wilson ac-
ceptiug all his terms and asking only
guarantees for the interests OF Ger
many and the German people. lf
such a reply does come president
Wilson's only course is to forward it
to the co-belligerents.
The guarantees for the interests OF
Germany and of the German people
do not intervene as an OBSTACLE If
guarantees are sought in sincere
terms If they are put forth as an
other vehicle for a bubble an oppor-
tunity Of diplomatic evasion aud trick
cry or negotiated peace they Will
meet only one reply.
If they mean guarantees for the in
tegrity and sovereignty of the Germany
which is rightfully German, always
taking in the determinations of the
human beings concerned no obstacle
is foreseen. # they mean guarantees
for the right Of the German people TO
Give their lives under peaceful re
spOnsible government which does not
menace the life OF the world Pres
ident Wilson's utterances on the sub
ject, officials think, already have Civ
en- the answer. If Germany accepts
all his terms and attaches the con-
dtion of such guarantees 1t is con-
sidered that hardly less could DC ex-
pected of her
Guarantees, interests OF Germany,
Involving only Germans, it was point
ed out, are quite apart from the self
determination Of the oppressed ma
tionalities in Austria for which pres
ident Wilson has pledged the peace to
secure opportunity for an autonomous
development.
There always is the possibility that
conditions President Wilson has laid
down as the basis for peace already
have come about in Germany. Diplo-
mats noticed that Chancellor Mex
