ea SGtest must deal with the military masters and the monarchial autocrats of Germany now, ar if il is likely to have 10 deal with them later in regard To the international obligations of the German empire. il must demand not peace negotiations but surrender"
 The president says that nothing can be gained by leaving this essential thing unsaid
 Huns Must Disarm.
 The presidents reply, which was made public at nine o'clock Wednes day night. serves notice on Germany that on her solemn assurance of ac- ceptanee of the terms laid down by him in his recent addresses he cannot decline te take up with the govern ments associated with the United States in the war the question of an armistice
 However, he forcefullY serves notice on Germany that only an armistice which will amount 10 the practical dis arming of her forces in the field will he considered at all
 Points Way to Peace.
 The president message clearly points the way for Germany to obtain peace and at the same time il strips the German note of every yestige of hypocrisy that camoutiaged il. The president reiterates that there can be no peace with autocracy save the peace that comes en the heels of un- conditional surrender That point is made perfectly plain.
 Furthemore the president does, as he said he#vould refers the question of an armistice to=the military advisers of those governments associated with the United States in the war Their word will be final OH that subject, and his very words strengthen the word they will give if the question goes that far
 The distrust that every one felt at the German note fs expressed openly by the president, so openly. in fact, that there can no longer be any queS- ton in the minds of the American peo- pie as to how the president looks upon the peace reforms which the German government so glibly said it had ac- complishcd.
