Arrives.
Washington, Oct. 12.-Germany's re-
ply to President Wilson's inquiry, in
tercepted as it was being sent by the
great wireless towers at Nauen and
forwarded here tonight in an official
dispatch from France, declares thai
Germany is ready to accept President
Wilson's peace terms, evacuate the in
vaded territory as prerequisite to an
armistice and that the bid for peace
represents the German people as well
as the government.
Although on it's face the text Of the
German note seems to be a complete
acceptance Of President Wilson's
terms the people of the United States
and the allied countries should he

a compliance with the presidents de-
mands as will mean immediate cessa-
ton of hostilities.
AS the president was in New York
tonight and reserved comment on the
note, his views can not be stated now
and none of his official family here

Without any attempt to discount

president has laid down, officials here

for decision then as to whether an ar
mistice should be granted or whether
discussions should be undertaken to
carry out the details of the apphca-
ton Of President wilson's peace
terms.
The greatest danger facing the peo-
ple Of the United States, officials said
here tonight, was that they might
hastily consider Germany's PROPOSE

relax their efforts to continue the
victories at arms and carry over the
