STRIKES BODY BLOW
Wilson's Reply to Germany Is
Powerful! Document.
American and Allied Diplomats Be-
Iieve Note Will Create German
Revolution.

Washington, Oct. Is. - Germany
peace offer has been answered by
President Wilson with a decision
which not only fulflls the expectations
Of supporters of his diplomacy, but
also dispels the fears of those who
predicted he would substitute victories
at arms with defeats at diplomacy.
No peace with kaiserism, autocracy
must go; no armistice can even be
thought of while Germany continues
her atrocities on land and sea, nor
shall one be considered unless it fully
Is dictated by the Allied commanders
In the field in such terms as absolutely
provide safeguards and guarantees
that Germany's part will not be a
scrap of paper. This, in few words,
Is the Presidents answer.
If it does not bring a capitulation
which may be more than an uncondi-
tional surrender, Allied diplomats and
American officials believe it may cause
a revolution in Germany. Beyond ques-
ton it speaks for the Entente Allies
as we'll as the United States.
Quite outside the formal phrase
Of diplomatic document was Presi.
dent Wilson's word to the world that
he had no thought Of stopping the
fighting at this stage. .... On. =

State department
One outstanding point which does
not appear in the Presidents note. q
point on which the world has been
asking questions, can be answered.
When the President declared that
the wrong, done to France when Ger
many took Alsace-Lorraine should be
righted he meant that Alsace-Lorraine
should be returned to France.
