PEACE SITUATION
not fully clear

Stories from London, Paris
and Holland say Wilsons
_ i m ^
Terms Accepted.
Washington. ? News of Germany
is everywhere regarded here as the
shadow of great events being cast
before them.
There is in Washington no official
word that the kaiser has abdicated;
or that ho has been over
thrown; or that Germany s ready to
accept all of President Wilson's
terms. Officials and diplomatists,
cautious and conservative by nature
and practice regard with incredulity
the intimations that one or all of
these things has happened. Oi'
course, they all hope they have; they
all know that one or all of them ar<*
inevitable.
The official opinion in the capital
is that coming of these things is
timed only the unknown degree to
which the Gorman military powe r
has been brokt a. T re may bo more
information on teat point in the
chancellories of lingiand, France
4/ t
and Italy tha i there is in Wa: lung
ton.
When President Wilson's reply to
the German peace proffer went
forth it was predicted here that if it
did not bring a complete and unconditional
surrender oi the military au4"
s~\* 11O1 ?-* x r f 1> o ^ 1 ?\^ f 1 1 \ *\/\ v* 1 r* 4 V*
uic uuiiuiiu nn mselves
would force one. President
Wilson's words were a plain invitation
to the German people to take
fuch a step and intimated that there
would !>c no peace with kaiserism.
'Hie coining hours will show how
the loaven has worked. The intimations
in dispatches from London,
Paiis and Holland su ;gest the progress
of the ferment. Most significant
of all is - regarded the report
from Holland by way of London tha
Germany will immediately reply to
President Wilson accepting* all hi;
terms and asking only guarantee
for the interests of Germany and
the German people. When the reply
comes President Wilson's only i
course will be to forward it to the cobelligerents.
The guarantees dor the
interests of Germany and the Gorman
people do not intervene as an
obstacle if guarantees an? thought of
in sincere terms. If they are put
forth as another vehicle for a quibble,
an opportunity for diplomatic
evasion and brickery, or a negotiated
peace they will meet only one reSane
Guarantees Ea y.
I
If they mearf guarantees for the!
integrity and sovereignty or the1
Germany which is rightfully German
always taking in the determinations
of the human beings concerned, no
obstacle is foreseen. If they mean
that guarantees for the rights of the
German people to live their lives under
a peaceful responsible government
which does not menace the
life of the world, President Wilson's
utterance on the subject, officials
think, already have given the answer.
If Germany accepts all his
terms and attaches the condition
of such guarantees it is considered
that hardly less could be expected of
her.
Guarantees for the nterest of Germany
involving only Germans, it was
pointed out, are quite apart from the.
self-determination of the oppressed
nationalities in Austria for which
President Wilson has pledged the
peace to secure opportunity for an
autonomous development.
There always is the possibility
that the conditions President Wilson
has laid down as the basis for f
peace already have come about ir
Ciermany. Diplomats noticed tha
Chancellor Maximilian sent a r.ot<
and" that when the president answer
ed with an inquiry it was Foreigi
Secretary'" Solf and not the chancel
lor who replied, and that Solf spok<
of the new government which ha
been formed in, Germany,. It woul?
not be without krac&aent if' th
peace; .'party in Gorjrr^py actuall;
was in possession of an imperial res
cript 6f other secret acts rcnounc
ing the power of the kaiser and hi
paity# when the reply to Presiden
Wilson's inquiry was sent. It woul<
not be without precedent if the r.ego
* # f ' .
. I / 4 , %
N
iation was begun wfth a maneuver
.or tiic best possible terms and hold\g
back the last card?the downfall
of kaiserism.
No mixed Commission.
If the pivrequisities for an armisVice
are accepted, the arrangements
will be made, not by a mixed commis
c-ion but by Marshal Foch and the cobelligerent
commanders. These, as
has been pointed out will be the
means of taking from Germany every
agency with which she could
break her word if she would; the occupation
by allied forces of sudh
places as Strassburg, Metz and
Coblenz; turnng over to the allies :of
her fleet and submarine bases; with
the recall of her submarines which
dispatches hinted today she was
ready to do, and the surrender of mu
nitions of war, undoubtedly also the
agencies by which others mght be
produced, and probably by the employment
of the great war machine
plans of Germany to repair the industrial
damage done in Belgium and
France. Seeing is believing, one official
declared tonght, and there
will be no scraps of paper.
In a military sense Germany would
be treated as an individual prisoner
of war?disarmed, and guarded.
Allied forces placed in strategic positions
could by invasion of Germany
it* necessary enforce any terms. The
allied war council in which President
Wilson holds one vote it has
long been known has agreed on these
conditions as guarantees for supremacy
of the allied armies.
It can be stated with official au
uhority that should Germany agror
yO such an armistice the downfall o:
haiscri m can be easily arranged at
lie peace conference without danger
f accepting a "negotiated peace."
V'iiod forces wouM be in position to
nfcrce the decisions of the pcac
council.
The two main questions i:i th
minds of public men tonight arc, i
ho Gcinr.an nulUavy power ready s
broken a to be ready to arcnpt thes
rms, And the recurring question
what has become of the kaiser?
Air of Confidence.
Throughout the American capita'
there is the calm air of confidence
mixed with the evidence of determination.
Pooplse are reading threw
s bulletins at the windows and
buying Liberty Bonds at the? curbs.
When President Wilson sent wor
to the country thai there would b
"no relaxation of any kind" be mean'
no rumors of peace should
mine the Fourth Liberty Lorn: -on:
of bis friends believe he miglit hav
been thinking of making it. a "victory
loan" for it is a fact that r
Germny laid down her arms tomorrow
the loan would have to go over
for much of the money already hasbeen
spent and the millions of troops
in Europe must be provided for unil
they can be returned home.
The president was reading the latest
dispatches tonight, making no
?omment and other officials were
doing the same. The official air
was sur-chrged with expectancy,
but it was the expectancy which
would not be surprised if Gorniam
rallied to go on for a while longer,
and made another attempt to saw
'something from the wreckage.
| There were no official indication:
of whether the German reply had
boon started for Washington, if in ecd,
it has been decided upon.

Every citizen Interested In the boys
of his home town now at the front, and
In the brave women who equally are
serving their country abroad, lias an
opportunity to show his appreciation
of the sacrltice they are making. The
opportunity comes as a result of the
generosity and thought of Colonel William
Lioyce Thompson of New York,
who has conceived and put into execution
what is known as the Home Paper
Service.
Under the plan, every man and woman
in foreign service will receive the
town newspaper, and so bo kept in
constant touch with the places and the
;>? oplo they know and love.
Every branch of the United States
(iovcrnment Is interested in the plan,

happy and constantly in touch with

is more depressing in a national
Miiergency than the spirit of loneliness
in those serving their count 1*3', and officials
know that nothing can dispel
[ this feeling more effectually than readng
the home town newspaper.
Publishers of newspapers in all parts
of the country?this newspaper included?
have grasped with pleasure the
plan outlined by Colonel Thompson,
snd they have agreed to co-operate in
every way.
Under tlie rilling of the War Industries
Hoard newspaper publishers are
forbidden to send their newspapers
free, even to soldiers. The newspaper
must be subscribed for in the regular
way, the onI\* exception being soldiers
who formerly were In the employ of
the newspaper and who left that service
to enlist. Colonel Thompson therefore
proposes that the public in each
community contribute to a fund so that
the home newspaper (In our case this
newspaper) may reach every man and
womun now in the service of his country.
