(Ey ASS oS'oI
= Washington, Oct. 14.-Senator
Ashhurst, after comforting with
the president, announced that
Wilson will "take no action that
will weaken the successes of she
American and Allied armies.
What he does will strengthen the
military situation"
Senator Ashhurst told the Sem
ate that any cessation of hOstili-
ties would be. through the COM
mandinp generals in the field and
said:
"Wilson is not going to, have
any armistice of his own max
ing"
. Washington, Oct. 14.-This
statement was made today at the -
White House:
"The government will con-
tinue to send over 25O,OCO men,
with their supplies, every month,
and there will be no relaxation
of any kind"
Washington, Oct. 14.-The Swiss
legation has delivered the German re-
ply to Secretary Lansing. Transla-
lions are identical with the wireless
text received Saturday night.
Before the note was delivered the
president called Secretaries Lansing
and Baker into conference, and Sec
retary Daniels appeared later. Aft
er being closeted for two hours with
these cabinet officials, Colonel House
went to the War, State and Navy
building, leaving the president alone
in his study, where nearly all OF his
notes and utterances have been draft
ed. 1t is probable that Secretary
Baker, who has just returned from
France, gave information regarding
the battle front situation which Gre
ated German eagerness for peace.
1t is officially intimated that the
president will act quickly and posi-
lively and a confident belief prevails
that his course of action will not con-
template cessation of hostilities nor
negotiations with Germany except on
conditions tantamount to uncondition-
al surrender. -.
Senator New Of Indiana, opening
the peace discussion in the Senate, de-
clared nothing short of uncondition-
al surrender would meet the Ameri-
can demands.
Senator Thomas introduced a reso-
luton stipulating that no peace be
entered into without specific recog-
milton of the right of self-govern-
ment of the Poles and Slavs.
1t is possible the president will call
a Joint session of Congress to an
nounce his reasons and decision.
Turkeys long-delayed note, ask
ing, like Germany and Austria, thai
President Wilson take hand to re-
store peace, has been received at the
State Department. The note differs
slightly in phraseology from the
notes of Germany and Austria, and
the communication, as it reached The
State Department, was unsigned.

say the governor of Ukraine is about
to send a telegram to the president
drawing his attention to the cOnse-
quences to Ukraine of application of
his program regarding the evacua-
ton of occupied territories. II is
