President Wil son today answered Germany's peace proffer with a note declaring anew that there can be no peace with a Ger man government controlled by a mili tary autocracy and no thought of an armistice while German atrocities con tinue on land and sea. The official interpretation of the note as openly expressed was "auto cracy must go." . He also gave notice that autocracy must go before final peace can come. When the time to consider an arm istice comes, the president iaid, the military advisers of the United States and the allies will be consulted and no military advantages of the .armies fighting the central powers will be lest. - : , The text of the answer, addressed tc the Swiss minister, follows: ' Text of the Note . "Sir "In reply to the communication of the German government, dated the 12th instant, which you handed me to day, 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 o fthe reichstag of the terms laid down by the president of the United States -of America in his address to the congress of the Unites States on the 8th of January, 1918, anfi in his subsequent addresses , justifies the presfdentaki'Stralik1 ahg direct statement of" hfs decision with regard to the communications of the German government of the Sth and 12th of October, 1918. . " It must be clearly understood that the process of evacuation and the conditions of an armistice are matters v.hich must be left to the judgment and advice of the military advisers of the government of the United States and the allied governments, and the president feels it his duty to say that no arrangement can be accepted by the government of the United States which does not provide absolutely sat isfactory safeguards and guarantees of the maintenance of the present mili tary supremacy of the armies, of the United States and of the allies in the field. He feels confident that he can safely assume that this will also be the judgment and decision of .the allied governments, , Will Not Consider Armistice "Th president fels that it Is. also his dnfv in add that, neither the gov ernment of the United States nor, he i? '"'nte sure, the governments with hich the government "of the United States is associated' as a belligerent, will consent to consider an armistice so long as the armed forces of Ger many continue' the illegal and inht mane practices which they still per sist in. - " . -. : "At the very time that the German government approaches the govern ment of the United States with pro T'osals of pe-?ce its submarines are en- On account of influenza being in va rious parts of ,the county, the Com munity Fairs that were to have been held in this county this week anc next week have been postponed. v r uir, wnicn was to have ben held Oct. 16, is cancelled altogeth er, Edneyville was to have been hela Oct. 17, Horse Shoe, Oct.

The president's words just quoted naturally constitute a condition to peace, if peace is to come by the ac tion of the German people themselves. The president feels bound to say that the whole process of peace will, in his judgment, depend upon the definite ness and the satisfactory charac ter of the guarantee which can be given in this funda mental matter It is indispensable that the . governments associated against Germany should know beyond a peradventure with whom they are dealing. : " "The president will make a separ ate reply to the royal and imperial government of Austria-Hungary.
