% ' tilE AtLIED ' mr~ ? NOTHING BUT SURRENDER. PRESIDENT MAKES REPLY TO GERMAN NOTE. ' Prussian Autocracy Must Go.?Armistice is TJp To Foch.?Terms May Be Announced. Washington, October 23.?The following is the text of President Wilson's reply to Germany: ' "The Secretary of State mates public the following: "From the Secretary of State to the Charge d'Affairs ad interim in charge of German interests in the - United States. "Department of State, October 23, j . <*4 1918: -? "Sir: I have the honor to ac-1 knowledge the receipt of your note of the 22nd transmitting a communi- ! cation under date of the 20th from j the German government and to advise you that the president has instructed me to reply thereto as fol- i lows: "Having received the solemn and explicit assurance of the German gov. " ernment that it unreservedly accepts the terms of peace laid down in his address to the congress of the United States on the 8th of January, 1918. j and the principles of settlement j enunciated in his subsequent address- i es, particularly the address of the j 27th of September, and that it de-l sires to discuss the details of their : application, and that this wish and j purpose emanated not from those who have hitherto. dictated German | policy and conducted the present war j on Germany's behalf but from ministers who speak for the majority of the Reichstag and for an overcoming ' majority of the German people; and j having received also the explicit j promise of the present German gov- j ernment that the humane rules of j civilized warfare will be observed j both on land and sea by the German j armed forces, the President of the United States ieels that he cannot decline to take up with the governments with which the government of the United States is associated the question of armistice. "He deems it his duty to say again, however, that the only armistice he would feel justified in submitting for ^consideration would be one which should leave the United States and "the powers associated with her in a ' position to enforce any arrangements that may be entered into and to make a renewal of hostilities on the part of Germany impossible. The president has therefore transmitted his correspondence with the present German authorities to the governments with which the government of the . United States is associated as j a belligerent, with the suggestion j that, if those governments are dis- j .posed to affect peace upon the terms! and principles' indicated, their mili- j tary advisers and the military advis-1 ers of the United' States be asked to submit to the governments associated against Germany the necessary terms of such ^ an armistice as will i fully protect the interests of the peo- i pies involved and ensure to the associated governments the unrestricted power to safeguard and enforce the details of the peace to which the Ger-' man ?nvpmmpnt has agreed. Drovided they deem such an armistice possible from the military point of view. Should terms of armistice be suggest- | ed, their acceptance by Germany will; afford the best concrete evidence of j her unequivocal acceptance of the j The Piste 9 , I ^ 3.

"The president would deem himself lacking in candor did* he not ! point out in the frankest possible ! terms the reason why extraordinary safeguards must be demanded. Significant and important as the constitutional changes seem to be which are spoken of by the German foreign secretary in his note of the 20th of October, it does not appear that the principles of a government responsible to the German people has yet been fully worked out or that any guarantees either exists or are in contemplation that the attorations of principle and of practice now partially agreed upon will be permanent. Moreover, it does not appear that the heart of the present difficulty has been reached. It may be that future wars have been brought under the cqntrol of the German people, but the present war has not been; and it is with the present war that we are dealing. It is evident that the German people have not means of commanding the acquiescence of the military authorities of the Empire in the popular will; that the power of the king of Prussia to control the policy of the empire is unimpaired; that the determining initiative still remains with those who have hitherto been the masters of Germany. Feeling that the whole peace of the world depends now on plain speaking and straightforward action, the president deems it his duty to say, without any attempt to soften what may seem harsh words, that the nations of the world do not and cannot trust the word of those who have hitherto been the masters of German policy, and to point out once more that in j concluding peace and attempting to undo the infinite injuries and injustices of this war the government of the United States cannot deal with any but veritable representatives of the German people who have been assured of a genuine constitutional standing as the real rulers of Germany. If it must deal with the military masters and t;he monarchial autocrats of Germany now, or if it is likely^to have to deal with them later in regard to the international obligations of the German Empire, it must demand not negotiations but surrender. Nothing can be gained by leaving this essential thing unsaid, i "Accept, sir, the renewed assurance of my high consideration. (Signed) "ROBERT LANSING. "Mr. Frederick Oederlin, Charge D'Affaires of Switzerland, ad Interim, in Charge of German Interests in the United States." Germany's Reply. _Copenhagezi, Oct. 27.?Germany's answer to President Wilson's latest communication says: "The German government has jtaken cognizance of the answer of the President of the United States. "The President is aware of the far reaching changes which have been carried out and are being carried out in the German constitutional structure, and that peace negotiations are being conducted by a people's government, in whose hands rests, both actually and constitutionally, the power to make the deciding conclusions. "The military powers are also.subject to it. The German government now awaits proposals for an armistice which shall be the first step toward a just peace, as the President has described it in his proclamation.

Also in my mother's* home, when I was a child "When any of us children complained of headache, usually caused by constipation, she gave us a dose of Black-Draught, which would rectify the trouble. Often in the " Spring, we would have malaria and chills, or troubles of this kind, we would take Black-D:*aught pretty regular until the liver acted well, and we would soon be up and around again. We would not be without It, for it certainly has saved us lots of doctor bills. Just a dose of BlackDraught when not so well saves a lot of days in bed." Thedford's Black-Draught has been in use for many years in the treat'ment of stomach, liver and bowel troubles, and the popularity which it now enjoys Is proof of its merit If your liver is not doing its duty, you will suffer from such disagreeable symptoms as headache, biliousness, constipation, indigestion, etc., and unless something Is done, serious trouble may result. Thedford's Black-Draught has been found a valuable remedy for these troubles. It is pure!]' v<jgetable, and acts in a prbmpt and natural way, N regulating the liver to its proper functions and cleansing the bowels of impurities. Try it.
