fleation at Decision.
Washington.—President Wilson haj»
answered Germany’s peace proposal
with a decision whi<;h not only fulfills
the expectations of supporters of his
diplomacy, but also dispels the fears
of those who predicted that he would
substitute victories at arms with de
feats at diplomacy.
A© peace with kaiserism! Autocracy
must go! No armistice can even be
thought of while Germany continues
her atrocities on land and sea; one
cannot be considered unless it is ful
ly dictated by the allied commander*
In the field In such terms as absolute- '
ly provided safeguards and guarantees
that Germany’s part will not be a
•crap of paper.
This lu In a few words Is the presl*
dent’s answer.

Washington. -Germany’s reply to
President Wilson’s inquiry, intercept

wireless towers at Nauen and for
warded here |n an official dispatch
from France, declares Germany is
ready' to accept President Wilson s
peace terms, evacuate the invaded ter
ritory as a prerequisite to an armis
tice and that the bid for peace repre
sents the German people as well as
the government.
Although on its face the text of the
German note seems to be a complete
acceptance of President Wilson's
terms, the peope of the Vnited States
snd the allied countries should be cau
tioned against accepting It as such a

TO PREVENT TURKEY FROM

DIMMONB BAYB PRESIDENT
’ HAS SCORED ANOTHER HIT
Rome.—The impression in Italian
diplomatic circles is that one of the
principal reasons for the German and
Austrian movement in the direction of
peace wag to prevent Turkey from
seeking a separate peace. * Turkey was
told it. is understood that following the
new German chancellor’s speech and
armistice proposals that there would
be formed in all entente countries, and

tto
Washington.—An early response to
Wilson’s note of inquiry to tie Ger
man chancellor is expected by
American officials. While realizing
that an answer to the three pertinent
questions put to the prince of Baden
will be very difficult If the original
proposal of the German government
were not sincere, officials are con
fident that InternaNiondltions in Ger*
many and the exigencies of the mill-
tary situation will force speedy action.
