THE PRESIDENT'S REPLY
(Continued from First Page
edges the present German government's
? unqualified acceptance of his peace terpis
' and theu goes on to show, that those
levins provide specifically for the substi
tution of a government wholly responsi
ble to the (fi'i'man militarists".
1 (/noting his Mount Vernon speeeh of
duly I. the presyrleut reminds Germany
tliat his terms call for "the destruction
of every arbitrary . power nuvwhere. that,
i an secretly and of its single choice dis
turb the peace of world; or. If it cau not
be presently - destroyed* at least its re
duction to virtual Impoteucy."
Here then follows "the words which
proclaim with linalrty that the autocratic
government of Germany iuust~~gvi and
plainly" invites the German people .to
make the changc which will bring tllem
peace. ?
"The power which hitherto has con
trolled the Gerroau nation.*' Bays the
president's reply, "is of the sort here
described." It is within the choice %of
the German people to alter it. The
president's words just quoted naturally
????*? ?t*rte ? condition precedent to peace,
if pehoe i? to come by the action of
th? German (*?ople themselves. The pres
ident feels bound to say that the whole
process of peaee will, io bis judgment,
depend upon the definiteness and the aat*
Isfactory character of the guarantees
which ego be given In thia fundamental
matter. It 1* indispeattbte that the guT
ernments associated against Germany
should know beyond peradventnre with
whom they are dealing.
This pronouncement, the preaJdent'a
friend* nay. fulfill* the prediction* of
those who glared \hfii wbettl be ^k*d
Prime Mutintiliau If he nie\;e|v
-resented the. military lenders* who had
been conducting the war, , he lay

statement to the* German j>eople ib?fnC
aetyta that uotliini Unt tUeii autoc'ullc
government stands between them and the
piper- which tbey so fervently 4<*lMi.
Ttfls. the president's frieud* bn* >*'4
tUe whole theory of hi* diplomacy.
When the president decided to/ *ay
that if art armistice should be thought
iff it tould. lot be considered without
imposing terras to guarantee the
fi|th of Germany and pvovldo for the
maintenance of tbtl military supremacy
oij tftearmiee of the United JJtateg and
ti& euteute alHes, ijjte undoubtedly knew
thm the allied war council actiug on
HI recommendation of Marshal Koch
had decided upon necessity guarantees.
These now are understood to Include the
occupation of '\Metia and Strasburg and
fioblena, the strategic keya to Germany,
-*S The next move In the great Interna
tional drama in now expected to Jt0te
place in Germany while the armlet* of
the cobellUftreuts thunder at her gate*.
Diplomatists are agreed that what wnust
come from Germany now i* action, not
wbrds. She ma^y oiler to comply with
the terma ? and give up the guarantees
which would permit an armistice., , JTrom
that |K?iut the disposition of th'e auto
cincy might be considered In connection
with the terms of peace. Otherwise
the opinion is unanimous that the vic
torious armies of the United 8tatea~and
the entente allies must march on. '
