 KAISER'S MEN

KAISER $ MEN
 Continued from page onel Lansing at the State Department at six o'clock this evening. In full it fol- lows:
 One outstanding point which does not appear in the Presidents note-a point on which the world has been asking questions can be answered to- night.
 Return of Alsace-LOrraine.
 When the President declared that the wrong done to France when Ger many took Alsace-L Lorraine should be righted, he meant that Alsace-Lor- raine should be returned to France.
 Those who contend the Presidents decision arranges the situation for something more than an unconditiO1- al surrender base it on the argument that he has now passed the stage surrender of the German mi:itary and naval forces and left the il ,hen- zollern autocracy on it's throne
 Must "Dltch" Kaiser.
 Mir. Wilson, according to this view
 
 Ieople that if they want peace they can oly attain it by getting rid of the Kaiser and his system.
 An armistice, it is true, might come first and the details of the downfall of the German autocracy might be arranged later. But this is what an armistice would entail: First, a stop to the atrocities on u1 hn struction and devastation in the wake of the retreating German armies.
 Disarm All Forces.
 Then. the disarmament of all the German forces and the deposit of their arms and munitions at points to be chosen by the allied military commanders. Then, the occupation by allied forces of certain German cities or strOngholds, of strategic importance. Probably also the occupation of all submarine tases, and turning over of the German fleet.
 Remove All Danger.
 In short, it would entail a taking from Germany of everything with which she might break her word to an armistice.
 From that point the United States and the allies might proceed to dis pose of all that remained of Kaiser ism if the German people have not done it before, as President Wilson dn his note plainly invites them to do.
 Guilty Punished By Rule.
 While nowhere in the note does the President openly join with the entente statesmen in the demand that tn sschief criminals" nut be deliver ed up for triail, the Presidents con fidants point out that he plainly subscrfbes to the doctrine that the quilt of bringing on the world Wal is personal.
 It will be noted that the President completely rejects the German sug- gcstion for mixed commission tc arrange an evacuation, and reminds the militarists that they will accep' the terms laid down by Marshal Foch and the associated commanders; thai ! tl;ey will have no part in framing them.
 Don't Accept Prince Max.
 He makes it plain that he does no accept the new German government headed by Maximilian as anything less autocratic, anything less crea- ture of German inilitarism than lt' predecessors, and warns the Germal people that unless they destroy i the allied armies will do 50.
 One of the most important points ot his note is that in which he ac knowledges the present German gov ernment's unqualified acceptance O s,is peace terms and then goes on tt show that these terms provide specl hcally fur the substitution of gov 2 ern.nent wholly responsible to tht German people themselves for thu present one dominated by the Ger man m:litarists.
 Destruction of Military.
 Quoting his Mount Vernon speeci of,July;4, the president reminds Ger many that his terms calls for "th' destruction of every arbitrary powe anywhere, that, can separately, SC Gretiy, and of it's single choice dis turb the peace of the world; or it l cannot be presently destroyed, a least its reduction to virtual 1mpo tency." Here, then, follow the words whicl proclaim with finalty that the auto ratio government of Germany mus 20, and plainly invite the German people to make the change which vii bring them peace.
 ..The power which hitherto ha controlled the German nation" say the presidents reply, lis of the sor { herein described It is within tn choice of the German people to alte it."
 The presidents words just quote naturally constitute condition prece dent to peace, if peace is to coma D. the action of the German peopl themselves.
 Must Be Satisfactory.
