WILSON ASKS DIRECT
REPLY IN HIS NOTE

President Wilson's note to the Ger
ted to Berlin, October 8, is as follows:
Sir: l have the honor to acknowl-
edge, on behalf of the president, your
note of October q, inclOsing the COM
munication from the German govern
ment to the president; and l am in
structed by the president to request
you to make the following communi.
cation to the imperial German chan
cellor
Before making reply to the request
of the imperial German government
and in order that that reply shall be
candid and straightforward. as the
momentous interests involved require,
the president of the United States
deems 1t necessary to assure himself
Of the exact meaning of the note Of
the imperial chancellor. Does the i'm
perial chancellor mean that the imper-
ial German government accepts the
terms laid down by the president in
his address to the congress of the
United States on the Sth of January
| last, and in subsequent addresses and
that its object in entering into discus
sions would he only 10 agree upon the
%practic;h details of their application?
THE president reels bound to say
with regard to the suggestion of an
armistice that he would not feel at
| liberty to propose cessation of arms
| - the governments with which the
government of the United States is
associated against the central powers
so long as the armies of those powers
are upon their soil. The good faith of
any discussion would manifestly de-
pend upon the consent of the central
powers Immediately to withdraw their
forces everywhere from invaded terri
tory.
THE president also feels that he is
justified In asking whether the I'm
perial chancellor is speaking merely
| for the constituted authorities of the
empire who have so far conducted the
war. He deems the answer to these
questions vital from every point of
view"

Taking Liberty Loan Bonds In
Trade.

Il hope that the merchants Of
the country, upon a more careful
consideration of the subject, will dis
continue theirefforts to sell merchan-
disc and take Liberty Loan Bonds
in payment" says Secretary Me-
Adoo.
The Secretary states that he has
no doubt that merchants offering to
take Liberty Loan Bonds in ex
change for merchandise are actuated
by patriotic motives, but that such
transactions tend to defeat a pri-
mary object of the bond sales. as
they discourage thrift and increas
expenditures. Bonds so taken in
exchange in most cases are imme-
diately sold in the open-market,
which tends to suppress the market
price and adversely affects sale Of
future issues.
The strongest efforts are made by
the Treasury Department to have
these Government bonds purchased
for permanent investment by the PEG
pie and paid for out of savings thus
not only providing funds for the
Government but effecting conserva-
ton of labor and material; exchang-
ing them for merchandise therefore
defeats this purpose.
