on Peace Terms.

WASHINGTON. October IA ripple
OF applause from Senator's. who had
listened all day long to 4 debate on
the peace question, greeted the read
ing In the Senate OF the Presidents
latest reply to Germany late this af-
ternoon. Senator's who heard It, and
those who later Were OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
contents, were quick to give 1t their
heartiest approval.
There were three resolutions intro
duced in tho Senate during the days
debate. One OF these, by Senator
Thomas. Of Colorado. rentflrmed the
principles laid down by the President
conditions which this government and
the governments Of the allies could
consider. Another by Senator Gore, of
uninterrupted prosecution Of the war
until a democratic, just and acceptable
peace is made certain upon terms ap-
proved by. the President and faithful
States"
The third resolution by Senator
issued the oft-repeated demand for
nothing less than unconditional sur
render" by demanding that pnrleying
with the enemy should cease until
there has been surrender.
Upon motion made by Senator Kirby,
OF Arkansas. stout defender OF the
administration. all Of these resolutions
were referred to the Foreign Relations
Committee
Bundles OF telegrams, all demanding
unconditional surrender had been re-
ceived by almost every member of
the Senate before the session opened
this morning. Some OF these We're read
In the record. The burden OF all Of
them was that there should be. no dis
cussion of peace until Germany had,
like Bulgaria, laid down her arms.
The avalanche OF speeches which fol-
lowed the production OF those teIe-
grams were all predicated on the fear
or belief that the President might
agree to an armistice before the Ger
man army had surrendered.
Senator Brandegee said such an
event would be "a tragedy such as
the world has never before looked
upOn"
