REPLY NOT DECISIVE.

LONDON, Oct 19-(12:4O p. MI
Gern1anys reply to President Wilson,
according to best information avail
able here today, will not be decisive.
All of today's dispatches from Hoi-
land and Switzerland Indicate that the
German military caste succeeded In
preventing complete submission.
The reports generally agree that In
her reply Germany will seek to pro-
long the discussion.
Teuton Smoke Barraae.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. - The
United States government will &C.
cept no half-hearted measures OF
political reform in Germany and IN
Austria as a basis for peace.
The smoke barrage now being laid
down by the German propagandists
is fooling no one but the Germans
themselves. American autnorities
are penetrating the purposes and de-
velopments behind this screen. And
thus far, they have found that the
reported reforms do not meet the
acid test. They are regarded main
Iv as being the basis for further
reply from Germany in the peace
situation. It is held she will attempt
to show that she has reformed and
that the kaiser is no longer the all
powerful with the divine right.
However, President Wilson's last
communication was decision" con-
tanning the minimum that Germany
must meet If she wants peace. ;.
And, President Wilson will stand
as Judge of the degree of Teuton SIN
cerity and actual reforms.
Officials are at a loss to know
whether Germany's reply Is coming
directly, or whether it will be de-
layed while peace atmosphere Is
further created.
They do not anticipate that there
will be further discussion from Ger
many. Germany is regarded as anx'
ious to get peace. but there is
doubt here now as to whether the
Te,lton war lords have yet seen the
handwriting on the wall. or whether
the German people fully appreciate
that President Wilson has set for
them the only way out-a patch un-
bIotted by Hohenzollernism. Neutral
DIPLOMATS here believe Germany
went the limit" in the concessions
in her last note and will now fight
on.

was left intact, the houses have been
stripped of all their valuables and
the food supplies looted.

declared that not only did they COM
mandeer all stocks, but they ripped
machinery out of factories and sent
lit to Germany. (This probably re-
fers to the time Just after the Ger
mans took Lille In 1914.)
There are cases in which French
men, buying machinery in Switzer-.
land, have found that it was the
looted machinery of Lille, sold by the
Germans No doubt many more OF
these machines have been set up In
Germany for use after the war.
The Germans sought to destroy not
only the present, but the future of
the town and its work. From its
bombardment and capture on October
IL, 1914, to the date of its liberation
they did not cease from robbing and
numbering and insulting the unfor-
tunate inha bitants. In one month.
