Lloyds newspaper:
"The willingness Of the chancellor to
accept the president IS fourteen points
reveals Germany in very cheastened
spirit. But il does not follow that Pre-.
sident Wilson will recommend to the
entente powers to grant an armistice in
the present circumstances, at least not
without solid guarantees over and above
evacuation of invaded territories. ANY
suspension of hostilities must of neces.
sity be accompanied by some such Wis.

the occupation by the British, French
and American troops of the fortress OF
Metz and the bridgeheads Of the

whether an armistice is to be sanctioned

the military conditions. He can be
trusted not to allow Germany to trick
him."

tain, not only, but often their very in
habitants. The nations associated
against Germany can not be expected to
agree to a cessation of arms while acts
of inhumanity, spoilation and desola-
tion are being continued, which they
justly look upon with horror and with
burning hearts.
90 1T is necessary, also, in order
that there may be no possibility of mis-.
understanding, that the president
should very solemnly call the attention
of the government of Germany to the
language and plain intent of the terms
of peace which the government has now
accepted 1t is contained in the address
of the president delivered at Mount
Vernon on the fourth of July last. 1t
is as ofllows:
" sThe destruction of every arbit-
rary power anywhere that can separate
ly, secretly and of its single choice, dis
turb the peace of the world; or if it can
not be presently destroyed at least its
reduction to virtual impotency.'
" 'The power which has hitherto con.
trolled the German nation is of the
sort here described. 1t is within the
choice of the German nation to alter it.
" THE presidents IS words just quoted
naturally constituth condition pre-
cedent to peace, if peace is to come by
the action of the German people them
selves. The president feels bound to
say that the whole process of peace
will in his judgment depend upon the
definiteness and the satisfactory char
acter of the guarantees which can be
given in this fudametal matter. 1t is
that the governments asso-
ciated against Germany should know
beyond peradventure with whom they
are dealing.
The president will make separ-
ate reply to the royal and imperial gov

terms that would be acceptable by the

to insure real victory was crushing

Washington, Oct. 14.-With thous-
ands of kilograms pouring into the
white house today demanding the un-
conditional surrender of Germany, the
hope was openly expressed in official
circles that the president would re-
fuse to negotiate with the central pow
ers as long as the Hohcnzo.lerns and
the Hapsburgs remain in power.
Meantime the president conferred
with Secretary Lansing, Secretaries
Baker and Daniels and Colonel House
regarding the reply, which all agree
must be Forthcoming as quickly as pos.
sible.
The German reply was delivered to
Secretary of state Lansing at ll:55 by
the Swiss barge. II was said to be the
same as the press text.
Many Telsgrams Come
Many kilograms and messages flat
ly disagreed with the statement by
Secretary McAdoo at Chicago that Ger
many's acceptance of wilson four
teen terms amounted to unconditional
surrender
The sentiment expressed indicated a
widespread national belief that Ger
many's acceptance is nothing more
than a trick Of some kind and that
virtually complete military surrender
is the only basis upon which any nego-
tiations could be opened. These mess
ages were believed 10 be rather son-
trary to the first attitude of the pres
ident who, it was, said, was inclined
to McAdoo's Interpretation.
The Greatest Obstacle
The great outstanding feature of the
situation, however, was the question

lerns or the Hapsburgs. 1t was point
ed out that the German reply left
clear opening for the president to re-
fuse further negotiations on the ground
that there is, no evidence whatever
that the existing government in Ger
many represents the people.

cannot talk business with the German
authorities as at present constituted, it
