 Bargain Against Surrender
 W.as th. belief is strengthened that | ri present uote and those that have ! -rr before are genuine efforts 10 OD- ! fa peace. and are inc0nclusiVc merely l Is.eause the Germans conducting the f.rharCrs arc seeking to bargain for amrff.ag better than the uncondl- ! I.rlI surrender they are prepared 10 l -r. II pushed Co the wall. lt is as .emel also that they want to prepare -sallanv thc German public for re- .aratIor of what has happened to their uI.tarv machine and the war lords .ffsms or power. SO as to avoid com- note ooilapse of the government.

 Immediate Cessation Unlikely
 Nr ono believes that an immediate cessation of hostilitics is in sight. The opinion most generally held is that if r- Wilson decides to make reply, and tfe entente governments agree, the .H. .r.p possible at this time would

 Investigation Frutess
 Natfio importance is attached 10 the rUtrete and dcuials in the note, re- -arlIrl German brutality and ruth e-- dcsiruetion Of property. The i'm nHrfant thing is whether atrocities now .tHn AS to an investigation by a neu- frHI commission as suggested in the utr thc president indicated long ago ftlf such investigations come 10 noth- .n- except In connection with arrange r-rts for final peace.
 Regarding thc German denial of un- uHcss7ry destruction of property by fhr retiring armies, military experts say rfHf undoubtedly such armies are au- rtHuEcd under international law to vrk terrible havoc in evacuated ter ifarv.
