western Newspaper Union News Service.

Washington, Oct. Whatever
promises Germany may make to the
United States and her allies, they can
not serve as basis for an armfstice
or for peace negotiations as long as
the Hohenzollerns and the system of
government they represent remain in
power. it was indicated in high Off
cial circles here Sunday. This, in eff
feet, is expected to be the reply of
President Wilson to Germany's reply
to the President accepting the terms
laid down by the latter. But the gov
ernment asks the American people to
withhold their judgment on Germany's
note until President Wilson has re-
ceived official communication and has
had opportunity to consider it.
The President has heretofore made
1t plain that the German spokesmen as
at present constituted cannot be
trusted There is nothing in the
German note, officials pointed out,
that justifies the President in chang
ing single sentence of his address
at New York on Sept. q. In that ad-
dress the President said:
I'VE are ali agreed that there can be
no peace obtained by any kind of bar
gain or compromise with the govern
ments of the central powers. because
we have dealt with them already and
have seen them deal with other gov
ernments that were parties to this
struggle, at BrestLitovsk and Buchar.
est. They have convinced us that they
are without honor and do not intend
justice. They observe no covenants,
accept no principle but force and their
own interest"
Officials pointed out that the Pres
ident, in sending his query to Ger
many, was aware of the strong posi-
bility of Germany acceding ostensibly
to his fourteen points of the peace
agreement, but that she would dodge
the main issue as to who was going
to pledge Germany's name to such an
agreement. 1t was On this point that
he was looking for an opening to con-
vey to the German people finally and
Enthusiastically that their present gov
ernment, no matter who may wear the
crown or who may be- chancellor, or
how many members of the Reichstag
are willing to stand sponsor for it, is
unacceptable to the United States
from the point of view of trust
worthiness as long as the Hohenzol-
lerns continue to wear the German
crown and retain the power of making
and unmaking cabinets.

Washington, Oct. 14.-The greatest
danger facing the people of the Unit
ell States, officials said here Saturday,
was that they might hastily consider
Germany's proposition as the uncondi-
tional surrender which the co-belliger-
ents demand and relax their efforts to
continue the victories at arms an1
carry over the fourth Liberty loan. On
stated that this view of the situation
could not be placed before the public
too strongly.
Text of Germany's Reply to Wilson.
I'm reply to the questions of the
President of the United States of
America, the German government
hereby declares
The German government has &C
aTcted the terms laid down by Presi-
tent Wilson in his address of jan
nary the eighth and in his subsequent
addresses on the foundation yof a per-
EGanent peace of justice. Consequent
", its object in entering into discus
lions would be only to agree upon
fcactical details of the application of
these terms. The German govern
Lsent believes that the governments of
Abe powers associated with the govern
ment of the United States also take
the position taken by President Will
son in his address. The German gov
eminent in accordance with the Aus
tro-Hungarian government, for the
purpose of bringing about an arm
istice, declares itself ready to comply
with the propositions of the President
in regard to evacuation.
The German government suggests
that the President may occasion the
meeting of a mixed commission for
making the necessary arrangements
concerning the evacuation. The pres
ent German government which has un-
dertaken the responsibility for this
step toward peace, has been formed
by conferences and in agreement with
the great majority of the Reichstag,
The chancellor supported in all of his
actions by the will of this majority,
speaks in the name of the German
government and of the German people.

Unconditional Surrender U. S. stand


Chicago, Oct. 14.-The text of Ger
many's reply to President Wilson's in
quiry was communicated by the Asso-
ciated Press Saturday night to Will
liam G. McAdoo. secretary of the
treasury just before he delivered a
Liberty Loan address at crowded
mass meeting. Mr.. McAdoo told the
audience the text of the reply and
added
What this government demands,
based on President Wilson's messages
and speeches, is unconditional sur
render, and If the text of this reply is
authentic 1t means just that"
Before telling the audience about
The German note, Mr. McAdoo said of
the first German note a week ago:
Germany didn't send its note to
anyone except the United States.
Why? Because the President of the
United States has formulated the prin-
ciples Of permanent peace.
Germany knows that when she ac-
cepts the President5s conditions am
not talking terms, but conditions, prir
ciples-when she is off the soil OF ev-
cry invaded land, it means uncondi
tional surrender.
What is unconditional surrender?

our map does show that impor-
tant state road, exactly as we got
it in the Office of the state high.
way commission in Denver.
Sometime after the innocent
little squib appeared in the Sen
tinel. we learned that Two Buttes
had planted the D. G. D. signs
along the public road running
north from Stonington, and then
we understood.
1t will be remembered that
when the convention at Canadian
laid out the D. C. D. line, the
line ran as unit to four miles
west OF Stonington. and there di-
yided, one Branch coming to
Springfield, and the other going
by way of Two Buttes.
As there had been no official
meeting, or any other kind of a
meeting, of the d. G. D. organi-
zatibn since the route was official
~ laid out, we were certain that
the D. C. D. route had never
been changed to run north from
StonlpRton. But to make doub-
" sure, we wrote Pres. Young
asking for the information, and
was informed that no change Of
any kind had been made IN Bace
county, he At the same time ad-
visinx us that if any changes
we're desired it should be taken
up at the meeting at Lamar in
July-it being a month or two
prior to that meeting that we
wrote him.
1t will thus be seen that tae
y. G. D. signs north of Stonipg-
ton are not on the d. c. D. high
way. nobody had any right to
put them there. and they should
hence be removed at once and
placed ON the D. G. d. as official.
ly laid out.
1t is evident that if somebody
is permitted to place D. G. d.
signs on a road other than the
d. Z. u. route, any other body
can do the same way, and hence
soon the signs will cease to have
any meaning.
We have been over both the
official route and the north route,
and want to say there is On earth
no mortal excuse for putting
those signs where they don't be
long.
The north route runs through
several miles Of drifting sand,
( while The official route has we be.
lieve only about half a mile OF
such sand, and that On a north
and south road.
Bro Jones, ir stead of wishing

signs back to the official d. C. D.
