"In reply to the communication of the German
government dated the 12th instant, which you
handed me today, I have the honor to request you
to transmit the following answer: .
"The unqualified acceptance by the present
German government and by a large majority of
the Reichstag of the terms laid down by the Presi
dent of the United States of America in his address
to the Congress of the United States on the 8th of
January, 1918, and in his subsequent addresses,
justifies the President in making a frank and direct
statement of his decision with regard to the com
munications of the German government of the 8th
and 12th of October, 1918.

of evacuation and the conditions of an armistice

rangement can be accepted by the government of
the United States which does not provide absolute
ly satisfactory safeguards and guarantees of the
maintenance of the present supremacy of the ar

field. He feels confident that he can safely assume
that this will also be the judgment ahd decision of

ways been regarded as in direct violation of the
rules and practices of civilized warfare. Cities
and villages, if not destroyed, are being stripped
of all they Contain not only that, but often of
their very inhabitants. The nations associated
against Germany cannot be expected to agree to
a cessation of arms while acts of inhumanity, spol

"It is necessary, also, in order that there may
be no possibility of misunderstanding that the Pres

government of Germany to the language and plain

"It is as follows: 'The destruction of every

(By The Aitoclated Press)
London, Oct 14. When workesei
quit the factories in the suburb of
Berlin Saturday night many -thousands
of men and women thronged to
the center of the city and waited for
hours for Germany's reply to Presi
dent Wilson, according to a Copenhag
en dispatch to ' the Exchange Tele
graph Comnany. Extra edition with
the text were issued at ten o'clock,
and were received with enthusiasm,
many women bursting into tear.
The Vorwaerts of Berlin published
an article warning the Pan-Oermaaa,
who are preparing counter action to
Becure the continuation of. the old
system, that they were pursuing
dangerous course and should beware-
of exhausting the people's patience;
It declares that every conspiracy will
be stopped with a strong hand.
A proclamation demanding a Social
ist republic has been published, but
the papers printing it have been el
ed. Scandinavian papers believe that
peace is near.
London, Oct. 14 No temporary arm
istice nor any armistice at all, unless
accompanied by Germany's uncondi
tional surrender, is the determination
noted in most of the comment on the
peace situation in this morning's news
papers.'
"The Allies will take nothing less
than unconditional surrended in the
field, and there must be no armistice
until deteat in the field Is acknowledg

In vain."
merely an attempt to avoid disaste
and save her military reputation, and
adds:
"It is not the first time that the
Germans have erroneously assumed
that President Wilson does not under
stand the people with whom he is deal
ing. Germany's Idea ia this discus
sion is to steal -the advantage. Her
design is to first create dissension be
tween the United States and the Al
lies. If Doctor Solf, with a sham dem
ocracy, can get the Allies and Amer
icans to talking; he will have achiev
ed the purpose for which he and
Prince Maximilian were appointed
The Chronicle says:
"We must Insist upon such terms
as will virtually disarm the Central
Powers. We cannot contemplate with
drawing her armies intact, reconstitut
ed with a shorter line, and then rattle
the sword again at the peace confer
ence. It must be remembered that the
conference will last a long time, at
least six months, and possibly a year.
Fighting must. he finished once and
for all, and the Allies must be unmis
takably secure against its renewal.
This is the point ot principle to be de
cided by the Allies,, and the conditions
requisite constitute a naval and mill
tary, not a political problem. It must
first be referred to Marshal Foch and
the British admiralty."

streets, parks and public places were
crowded today. Everybody wore their
best clothes, and the crowds had an
almost festive aspect. They exhibited
the general spirit of the people ot Par

unknown here.

"The President will take no action
that will weaken in the smallest de

trary," Senator Ashurst added, "what
he-.-ivjM do will rather strengthen the
military situation."
This was the first statement by any
body who has talked with the Presi

course the President knew the views
of Clemenceau and Lloyd George and
was prepared to take the proper steps
in accord with the Allies.

In the Camp Bragg Notes In The Ob

chief surgeon of the cantonment, gave

There is going to be a great
