We are willing to evacuate occu-
pied territories and arrange an
amstice based on the actual
standard of power on both sides in
the field. Our land and sea forces
have not been been guilty of ille-
gal and inhumane actions, and we
have ordered them not to commit
any more such actions. The Ger. -
man government Is now free from
any arbitrary and irresponsible IN
fuence and is supported by the APP
prevail of an overwhelming major
iy of the German people.-Ger-
manys Note to President Wilson.
Considering the assurances
given by the German government,
cannot decline to suggest to the
allied governments the considera-
ton of an armistice, which, how
ever, must leave the United States
and its allies in position to en-
force the arrangements made and
to make impossible renewal Of
hostilities by Germany. 1t appears
to me that the kaiser and his crew
still are in unimpaired control of
the empire, and If we must deal
with them, now or later, we must
demand, not peace negotiations,
but surrender.-President Will
sons reply to Germany.
The above summarizes briefly but
hrly the diplomatic exchanges Of the
Peek between Berlin and Washington.
germany's note, evasive, shutting and
ttogether unsatisfactory, was received
tlh contempt by the press and people
the United States and the allied
0untries. The president and his close
Mvisers, it was said, were pleased
mly with the indication that Berlin
ss moving step by step toward full
ecceptance of the allies terms for an
rmlstice and peace. The imperial gov
snment's indignant denial that Its
snd and sea forces have committed
srages was looked on generally as
insult TO the intelligence Of world
ast knows such Outrages have been
omitted and have not yet ceased

0arges the note says orders have
zen issued to discontinue the inhu.

me defenders Of the German people
distinguished from the German au
