EDITORIAL OPINION OF
 GERMANY'S LATEST NOTE

Waterbury Republican: The terms of evacuation must be dictateI Ger many must not be allowed in her sur render to put any interpretation of draw upon the ending of the war For the impression it must make upon the Germans of today and tomorrow it must be made everlastingly clear that she has been defeated.
 New Haven Journal Courier: We cannot find in the German reply any thing to alter our opinicn that the complete and absolute surrender of imperial Germany is the one Tanacea for the ills which the kaiser's mad dream has brought upon the world.
 Bridgeport Telegram: Germany is begging for respite from fighting That is the meaning of her reply sent today. No other interpretation can be placed upon it. What shall he answer be? President Wilson will make no mistake if he says it is too la.e. This country wants absolute and ab- 5ect surrender. The country's great leader may be sure every state is with him if he gives that answer,
 Meriden Morning Record: It is diff cult to see how the German reply in any way measures up to President Wilson's demands. It is apparent that  the German military is playing for time and wants to make negotiations continuous performance. There should be no more discussions or tenn rorizing on the part of the United States.
 Providence Journal: The German government offcre a reply that is not worth the D. \ which it is print ed. It is .pliance in form with out yielding anything except what ha. to be yielded to the hard argument of force. And here we get back tt | the unacceptable. fact that the war k going to be settled by force. not b! words: by the drawn sword, no. by the pen.

Tn my judg- ment, however, it will not lead to an armistice immediately. think the military authorities will probably make conditions so hard that Germany will hesitate to accept them, and that this will lead to a delay in negotiations over an armistice. In the meanwhile the war will go on.
 "As far as the change in the Ger man constitution is concerned, the presidents demands have apparently been met, although Germany avoids stating that it was done at the presi- dents request and seeks to give the impression that it was done upon the demands of the German people,"

Bring Pressure on Serbs

GENEVA: According to unofficial information reaching here, Austria Hungary and Bulgaria in the period since the Russian revolution, have brought great pressure to bear upon Serbia to conclude a separate peace. Two means are said to have been en- ployed, one involving oppressive mea- sures and deportations in the occu- pied territories, while as another means to the end thirty Serbian de- puties of the National Party who were Austrophiles and remained in Serbia after the retreat of the army were in- wit to Vienna and lavishly enter tained. Both plans, he declares. prov ed a complete failure, the Serbian people, despite their sufferings, re- maining loyal to their allies and their king.

WHY KAISER WANTS PEACE

The kaiser talks grandiloquently of the shining sword" in trying to browbeat the allies into accepting the conditions of peace submitted to the allies via Russia, but the world has not overlooked the fact that he is showing an increasingly intense de- sire to bring his foes to terms and save what he can from the wreck. The simple reason for this is that the kais- CT knows he is beaten.
 There is absolutely no question as to the military issue of the war. AL ready, in spite of the German success ses in Italy and the disintegration of Russia, Prussia asks for peace on the basis of the status quo ante" The war makers, who expected to be "in Paris by Christmas" who confident ly expected to win a war of conquest against an unprepared group of ene- mics, now asks only for draw deci- sion. They know they can get no bet ter terms now and know also that as the war progresses they are merely moving nearer to day of reckoning which will record their downfall.
 
 From a military standpoint, Sir Douglas Haig, British generalissimo, in his report of the years operations from the Arras offensive on April g to the close of the Flanders opera tions in November, summarizes the

SAYS THAT PRESIDENT
 HAS MYSTIFIED PEOPLE

NEW YORK: James M. Beck, for mer assistant United States attorney general, in a speech before the Re- public club Saturday, charged that President Wilson, in laying down four principles for basis for peace in his address to congress February 1. had mystified the mind and paralyzed the will of the American people.
 Nothing more unfortunate has happened" said MT. Beck, "since we entered the war"
 If the president" said MT. Beck. twill eliminate from his councils the intriguers, the pacifists, the doctrin- aires and intellectual Bolsheviki, he will confirm the confidence which his countrymen have so fully and un- grudgingly given him.
 "If the war is to be compromised by diplomatic finesse; if 1t is to be settled on the basis of four innocuous and almost meaningless principles, then all the dead will have died in vain.
 "If tomorrow a peace were arrang- ed on a concrete interpretation of these four proposals, millions of sol diers would leave the trenches, and. backed up by millions of civilians they would say to Germany:
 You have defied the world with your lust for power; you have mock ed humanity; you have violated our women, ruined our lands. We will not have intercourse with you, we will not treat with you so long as you stand, cynical and defiant, leering at the civilized world"
