PRESIDENT WILSON'S
REPLY TO GERMANY

Washington, OctoberS.-America )
reply to Germany's peace proposal,
presented to the Charge of Switzer-
land for transmission to Berlin, fol-
lows:
"Sir: l have the honor to acK-
knowledge, on behalf of the President,
your note of October 6, inclosing the
communication from the German
Government to the President; and
am instructed by the President to re-
quest you to make the following
communication to the Imperial Ger
man Chancellor:
"BefOre making reply to the re-
quest of the Imperial German Gov
eminent, and in order that that reply
shall be as candid and straightfor-
ward as the momentous interests in
volved require, the President of the
United States deems it necessary to
assure himself Of the exact meaning
of the note of the Imperial Chan
cellor.
"Does the Imperial Chancellor
mean that the Imperial German Gov
eminent accepts the terms laid down
by the President in his address to the
Congress of the United States on the
9Th of January last and in suisse
quent addresses and that its object
in entering into discussions would be
only to agree upon the practical de-
tails of their application?
"The President feels bound to
say with regard to the suggestion
Of an armistice that he would not
feel at liberty to propose a cessa-
ton of arms to the Governments with
which the Government of the United
States is associated against the Cen
trail Powers so long as the armies of
those Powers are upon their soil
"'The good faith of any discus
sion would manifestly depend upon
the consent of the Central Powers
Immediately to withdraw their forces
everywhere from invaded territory.
"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
accept, sir, the renewed assur-
ances of my high consideration.
ROBERT LANSING"

perial Chancellor, Prince Max of
Baden, to whom the QUESTIONABLE is
addressed, means that the Imperial
German Government is ready to ac-
cept all Of the principles the Presi-
dent has laid down as necessary for
peace, cor that its object in enter
ing into discussions would be only
to agree upon the practical details
of their application"
Huns Must Evacuate Territory
The second interrogation has to
do with the proposal of an armistice.
The President says that before he
could propose cessation of hostili-
ties to the allies, and before good
faith could be established in any dis
cussion, Germany would have to con-
sent to withdraw her forces from all
occupied territory.
The third question is a request to
the new Chancellor to tell if he is
speaking merely for the constituted
authorities of the empire who have
so far conducted the war.
The entire matter resolves itself
into the fact that it is impossible to
discuss peace in any manner until
Germany accepts, without further
ado, the IA principles set forth by

WE MUST ANSWER THE CALL

For four years France, England
and Italy have held back a barbarian
invasion unequalIed by the Vandal or
the Goth.
With a courage beyond words,
with a sacrifice beyond belief, they
have faced every form of death,
every torture of savagery.
CHASTITY and awful, the days, to
them, have gone by like weeks, the
weeks like months, the months like
years. In the lights travail, in the
nights watches, they have had no
hour of respite.
Not for themselves only have they
died before the Prussian, but for us
and for the world. Secure behind
their battle tortured bodies we have
been at peace. At last out of the
struggle of that superhuman resist
ance they are calling to this repub-
lie. And for shame at their waited
land, their ruined cities, their mutt
lated dead, we cannot fail them.
Life, service or money every man
can give. And according to his gift
shall his nobility be measured.

the President in his address to Con-
gress on January and subsequent
addresses dealing with the subject of
peace; also, that no discussion can
be begun until Germany has first
signified her willingness to with
draw all of her forces from occupied
territory and her submarines from
the high seas.
Recall OF U-Boats Necessary
AS a result Belgium, France, Rus
STA, Serbia, Italy, Montenegro and
Roumania will have to be evacuated,
the seas swept clean of submarines
and Germany will have to stand
ready to allow the adjustment Of
colonial claims with reference to the
wishes of the governed population,
abandon economic control of Rus
sian territory, indemnify Belgium,
restore Alsace-L Lorraine, restore
Italia irridenta, consent to the es-
tablishment of an Independent Polish
state, see to the REIMBURSEMENT of
Turkish control of non Turkish pop
ulations and the establishment of
autonomous government for the diff
ferent nationalitics of Austro- Hun
gary.
And if Germany says she will do
all these things her promise must
come from one other than a person
speaking for the Hohenzollerns ana
the military autocracy that plunged
the world into war. This is why the
President asks Prince Max for whom
he is speaking.
