President Is
First Told of
I ext by Press
Wilson's Party, at Opera
House, Amazed at Breach
of Diplomatic Usages

Seated last night in grand tier box
at the Metropolitan Opera House,
President Wilson received from The
Associated Press the unofficial text Of
the most mcmentous diplomatic note in
the history Of tho world. Through
Secretary Iumulty he announced that
he would have no comment to make.
Publication Of the German reply 20
the Presidents inquiries as to it's
willingness to accept all the terms hc
previously had enunciated and to
cvacuato all occupied territory, came
as corlpltte surprise. The way In
which the wireless despatch Of such
tremendous purport Gent out from the
great German station at Nauen was
made public, shattered all diplomatic
precedents,
The text reached New York only r.
short time before President Wilson
and his parry left the Waldorf-Astoria
to attend the concert at the Metropoli-
tan for the bene6t of blinded Italian
soldiers.
President Had Not Been Advised
The natural assumption WAS that the
text previously had been communi-
Gated to the President. AS measure
of precaution, however, The Associated
Press sent over its special wire To the
Opera House an inquiry to Secretary
Tumulty as to whether Nh Wilson had
been informed of the German reply
Mr.. Tumulty showed plainly his

Hoist Flag
OfSurrender.'
London Cries
British and French Will
Oppose Any Armistice
Without Guarantees

LONDON, Oct. IL By The Associated
Press). -Germany's reply to President
Wilson reached London too late for
anv authoritative comment. 1t was
bound 80 come. however, into an at
mosphera charged with suspicion, and
the opinion s held in all quarters that
the reply would be good gauge Of the
degree Of Germary's military distress.
An armistice IL the old familiar ruse
for Il distressed army.
Apparently the reply gives one state
mont OF news. 1t associates AUSTRIA
Hungary. but not Turkey, with the Ger
man government. The implication
seems to be that unless the German
Secretary for Foreign Affairs has writ
ten the message with unusual haste,
Turkey is no longer Germany's ally.
In all previous important diplomatic
documents Germany has scrupulously
mentioned all her allies.
The phrase "to agree upon practical
details OF the application of these
TERMS" is on its face a straight re-
ply to President Wilson, 1t was not
unexpected here, but is likely to be
regarded with suspicion. English pa
pers have said that conference based
on such a formula may be considered d
by the Germans to mean an extended
debate.

CHICAGO. Oct. 12.-Germany knows
when she accepts President Wilson'S
terms it means unconditional sur
render, declared William G.. McAdoo,
Secretary Of the Treasury, when he
was told tonight of the contents Of
Germany's reply to Mr. Wilson's note
Secretary McAdoo was here to make
a speech urging the full subscription
Of the fourth Liberty Loan. The AS
sociaied Press acquainted the Secre-
tary with the contents Of the German
rote and he told the audience what
Germany's reply was
Germany knows that when she ac-
oepts tho Presidents conditions-l am
not talking terms, but conditions, prln-
ciples-when she Is Off the soil Of every
invaded land it means unconditional
surrender
"The Kaiser might as we'll surren-
der now, He isn't dcluded now. He
did think at one time that America
wouldn't get into the war, but he knows
better now,
"I'll not discuss terms. Even If 1t
is true that the Kaiser has surren-
dered, that does not make it the less
important that this loan be subscribed
It has to be because we spent most Of
the money before We asked for H.
IF the Kaiser saysi I am willing to
evacuata and to accept your condi-
tions,' that is surrender, or l don't
know what is: The point / am making
is this' America has stood for peace
on the foundations of Justice and
democracy and elimination of the fes-
terng sores which have caused all the
wars in Europe, and we never will ac-
cept peace until we get it as America
wants il.

The Germans fell back yesterday

Western front.
British troops, fighting onward tow
ard the stronghold of Douai, have
approached within one mile of the
city by the capture of Quinay. to
the northeast.
The irresistible drive of British and
American forces east and south
east of Cambria has resulted in
hurried efforts of the Germans to
evacuate Nalenciennes, which rap
idly is being pocketed, and to es-
tablish line of refuge running
from the famous manufacturing
city south Of the Disc.

Wilson Joins
Liberty Hosts
In Big Parade
President Trudges Along
With Workers and Fight
ers to Boost War Loan

A battalion OF the army of civiliza-
ton marched down Fifth Avenue yes
terday.
Liberty Day, Italia Day, Columbus
! Day-Octobcr IL became also the day
OF international fraternity. The seed
Of world regeneration, which Chris
topfer Columbus planted in American
soil 426 years ago yesterday burst
forth into full flower. The hundreds
of thousands of people crowding the
sidewalks Of Fifth Avenue caught the
dazzling vision and cheered the new
era.
The parade, intended primarily to
boom the Liberty Loan, WAS great
military spectacle. 1t was more than
that. In the marching columns, swing
ing behind the fighters Of the Allied
NATIONS, were the representatives of
the armies of toll, men and women of
the factories, the shipyards and the
farms, who have furnished the guns
the transports and the food to make
the way clear.
Wilson Joins Marchers
The final symbol of what all the
armed show meant was contributed by
President Wilson. He did not review
the pageant, nor ride at the front as
the leader. He marched from Seventy
second Street to Washington Square,
where he Observation-Disclosures in
conspicuously between two glittering
military units-a plain hiker in the
midst of 10000 other sovereign demo-
Gratis.
MIR. Wilson joined the procession at
noon, half-hour after the head of the
column had passed down the avenue.
He was accompanied by Brigader Gen
eral George r. Dyer, the grand mar
shall; Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson,
and his secretary, Joseph P. Tumulty.
General Dyer presented Nh Wilson
with an American flag on a cane, and
his shoulder during the long march.
The Executive party slipped into the
ranks in the van of the American Di-
vision. Before them were the New
York Police Band and contingent of
sunburned farmerettes; behind them
followed battery of army search
lights, trundled by clanking teams Of
Missouri mules.
Ovation Ii Continuous
So completely was Mr.. Wilson hemmed
in By adjoining sections Of the parade
that the waiting crowds we're not aware
OF his approach until he trudged right
past them. Recognition was belated,
but the throngs made up for the crig-

Political Structure Collapsing

The German war machine is like
8 one-horse chaise. Ludendorff and
other great militarists who staked
Germany's fate on the campaign on
the Western front are about to
join War Minister Stein in retire
ment. Just as the enemy alliance
collapsed following the surrender
of Bulgaria, the German political
structures now falling apart.
The German State is military
organization. Germany's internal
situation is no better than her
armies, which are in All unbeliev-
able state of disintegration and de-
moralization. The ruling classes
of Germany must surrender to the
new forces, just as the armies of
Germany must surrender to the
Allies. The downfall Of the mill
tarists and junkers Is just as GER
tain as that Foch will overthrow the
German armies.
Hussarek and Wekerle, the Aus
trian and Hungarian Premiers, have
resigned. and both cabinets are
being reorganized as coalition gov
crnments along the lines followed
by Germany. Two socialists, Renner
and Seit2, will sit In the Austrian
Cabinet. Thus all the enemy
countries now have coalition gov
ernments. In which the moderates
are in the majority,
The Scandinavian exchanges re-
fleet the general belief that peace is
near, The most significant and
encouraging development is the op-
timisiie tons Of The German press.
With only very few exceptions the
German newspapers declare the be-
lief that peace is near If their ex-
pectations are unrealized, only a
miracle can reunita the Germans.

LONDON, Oct. IA flood OF
1umors is rolling in from all neu.
tral nations regarding conditions
in Germany. Chief among the
many reports are:
First--That Germany will tell
President Wilson that she is pre-
pared to evacuatc all occupied
territory.
Second-Tfat the Kaiser is
ready to abdicate in favor of his
grandson.
Third-That Austria and Tur-

Fourth-That Turkey has al
ready dispatched peace proposals

Fiftb--That great strikes are

Sixtl-That Ludendorff has re-
signed
Germany is in the throcs Of a
bloodless revolution, but whether it
will result in the abdication of the
Kaiser and the downfall of the
Crown Prince, whose armies are al
most pocketed in the Laon salient,
and the subordination of the mili-
,ary to civil control in national af-
fairs, arc questions which will be
answered shortly.
