German Note on Way to United States.
Copenhagen, Denmark. oct. 14.-The
North German Zeitung says that the
German answer to President Wilson's
note of inquiry Is ready and believes
that II was handed to the Swiss gov
eminent Saturday. The newspaper
understands that "the answer will
make far-reaching advances. and il Is
hoped that the discussion between Ger
many and President Wilson will bring
forth a durable peace for the whole
world"

the note was carefully considered by
the war cabinet, consisting of the chan
ccllor, the vice chancellor and secre-
taries without portfolios, and that an
answer In principle was agreed upon
Ifter a conference with the supreme
military command. There could be no
definite formulation of the answer
however, il adds. until the official text
of the presidents note was received,
which, it understands, arrived late
Thursday night.
German Press Open to Peace.
With the exception of the incurably
chauvinistic Tageszeitung of Berlin.
the German press generally, even the
conservative organs. sees in President
Wilson's note an upright desire 10
judge the situation effectively and
pave the way for peace, if honorable
peace shall appear possible.
The Tageszeltung finds the note tut
terly unacceptable" and hopes the Ger
man government twill give fitting
answer" 1t is, however, significantly
systematic of the new order of affairs
In Germany that this newspaper stands
virtually isolated i'm its antipathy to
peace.
Asks No More Recrimination.
Even Otto Hoetsch, in the Kreuz
Zeitung. and Prof. Max LEM In the
Taeglische Rundschau, recognize the
seriousness of the situation. The lat
who have taken the rudder, but will
rather help them bear their terrible
burden of responsibility. Let there be
no more elimination and recrimina-
ton"
The semiofficial North German Ga
zette reminds its readers that "what-
ever decision may be reached the Ger
man people must realize that men who
with exact knowledge of all factors ar
rive at a verdict have no other inter
ests to represent than the guaranty
and security Of Germany's future well
fare"
