The good faith of any discussion would manifestly de- pend upon the consent of the .0entral Powers immediately to withdraw their forces everywhere from invaded terri- tory, " The President also feels that he is justified in asking whether the 'piper- ial Chancellor is speaking merely for the constituted authorities of the Em- pire who have so far conducted the war.

At the same time the President has left wide open the door to peace. Declining to propose an armistice while the armies of the Central Pow- ers remain on invaded ,sioiL the Presi- dent called on the GerrnantChancellor to state as an absolutely necessary preliminary to a reply fromethe En-. mite States whether GermanY accepts the principles of peace sorepeatedly laid down, or merely proposes to ac- cept them "as the basis of negotia- tions," and whether the Chancellor merely speaks for the German mili- tary masters conducting the wax or the whole German people, , dent's diplomacy is disclosed it be- arid Williams at homeeliVilham As the full significance of the Presi- comes evident that he has .left open Reid, of Wingharn: Mrs. James Camp- bell of Kansas: Mrs, John Campbell, the wayeto peace and at the same time left the militarist leaders of the Central Powers with a question they must necessarily answer in a 'erect. that will lead to peace or confroftt :them with an embarrassing situation in their own countries. President Wilson has met what the Allied diplomats regard as • a trick with a move which will expose it, if a trick It be. He has called upon the German Government for an evidence of 'its good faith, and should it not be forthcoming, he has Ieft with the German leaders the problem of explaining . to their own people, already clamoring for peace, why they are not willing to -accept it. From that point the President passes to another, which will de- eelop, as the exchange proceeds,, Whether the United States and the - allies will deal except on the battle- • field with the German Government as. at present constituted, The Presi- dent tells the Chancellor that - he feels he is "justified in asking whe- ther the Imperial Chancellor is speaking merely for the constituted authorities of the Empire, who have so far conducted the war." Thia will develop whether Maximilian speaks for the German militarists whom the President has denouneed as un- worthy of any trust and`Who regard- ed treaties as a "scrap of paper," or whether he speaks with the force of • the people of a nation. 1•This is re- • garded as probably the most import- ant part of the President s communi- cation, fraught. with potent possibil- ities of the nubst farreaChing effect in Germany, where an active .allied propaganda has been making rapid headway in. awakening the German people to the necessity Of assuming the responsibilities of their own Gov- ernment and making dtheir .own peace. It is regarded as possible if not indeed likely, that • the German mili- tarist leaders hoped for :a curt and defiant answer with whish they could • rally their people to give their last drop of blood "for the protection of the fatherland," and with other roll- ing phases in which its German of- ficial pronouncements abound. • The unanimous opinion aning di- plomats is that. the President-, by a carefully studied, most skillful reply, has robbed them of that opportunity if they desired it, and has sent to the German people _themselves a message that the United States and the Allies desire nothing more than a "reign of law; based upon the con- sent of the governed and sustained by the organized opinion of manidnd." An armistice while the invaders remain on violated soil is already rejected. Germany niust now state whether she accepts "a reign elf law based on the 'consett of the gov- erned" or whether she wants to negotiate about one; she must say whether the appeal for awe comes from a beaten militarist wile began a war for world domination or from a war ridden people _ready to make a peace lasting. SEAFORTH, Friday, Oct. 11; 1918. GERMANY SUES FOR PEACE Prince Maximilian of Baden., the German Imperial Chancellor, announc- ed in the Reichstag on t atarday that he had sent a note, through the Swiss Government to President Wilson, in which Mr. Wilson was request&I , to -take up the bringing about of peace and to communicate upon the subject with the other belligerents. Austria and Turkey will take the same step as Germany. The basis of the new Ger- man peace proposal is complete re- habilitation of Belgium, creation' of popular assemblies in the Baltic pro- vinces, Lithuania and Poland, and, es- tablishment of an independent federal state of Alsace-Lorraine. The text of the note forwarded. by the Imperial German Chancellor, Price Maximilian tle President Wil- son, through the Swiss Government, follows: "The German _Government requests . the President of the United States to take a hand in d the restoration of peace, acquaint all the belligerent States of. this request, and invite them to send phenipotentiaries for the pur- pose ,of opening negotiations. "It accepts the program set forth by the President of the United States in his message to Congress on January 8, and in his later prontinOraentos, es- pecially his speech. of September 27, as a- basis tier Ji2.dhe negotiations. "With a vievi to avoiding further . bloodshed, the Gentian Government re-, quests -the immediate conclusion of an armistice on land and water and in the air." It is annomiced that Turkey will take a similar step. • Germany, Austria-Hungary and Turkey have resolved to ask President Wilson to make representation in their interest for -a gerieral armistice, and negotiations for a general peace. The text of the Austrian propoeal is as follows: • • "The Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, which has made only defensive .war- fare, and has borne witness several- -times to its desire to put an end to the _ bloodshed and conclude an honorable peace, and start without delay negoti- Preeident Wilson to conclude immedi- ately with him anahis allies a general armistice on land, on sea and in the air, an dstart without delay negoti- atians for peace. "These negotiations will be based • on the fourteen points in President's, Wilson's message of January 8, and the four points of his speech of Febru- ary /2 (February 11), 1918„ and those equally of September 27, 1918." ' The new peace note of Baron Bur- ian, Austro-Hungarian Foreige. Minis- ter, will declare that all of President Wilson's terms have been accepted. ac- cording to a Vienna despatch, which is _ published in the Dutch press. The note will be published immediately. PRESIDENT WILSON'S REPLY Peeddent Wilson on Tuesday inform- ed the German Government that be- fore tht United States can uiscuss an armistice German troops must with- draw from all invaded territory. He asked Chancellor Maximilian whether he represented the German people or the authorities of the Em- pire who are conducting- the war. The Presideat's message was not a reply, but in the form of an enquiry. T.he Imperial Gerrnan Government is _asked whether it accepts the terms laid down by the Preeident in his ad- dress to Coearess en January 8, and etileee men t adresses. . - The text of the communication hand- ed to the Charge .of Switzerland here f el lowe : "Sir: I have the honer to acknow- 'eke an behalf of the Preeident your note of October tith, enclosing the communietition from the German'Gov- erament to the President, and I am tneteucted by the President to request , you to litake the following communi- •. cation to the Imperial German Chan-, cellor: " `Before making reply to the re- quest of the Imperial German Govern- ment, and in order that that reply etiail be a.e. tandid are!. etraightforward ns the momentous intereata involved ,. equiro, the Preeident ef the thfited tates deems it neceseary to aesure himself of the exact awning of the eute of the Imperial Chatkelior, Does She Imperial Chancellor meat. %hat the .4-nerial German Governmere eecepts t'e- terms laid down by the President te tee whireSS to the Congrese of the t 'eneei :‘:.iteteS on the 8th day of Jan- e -.• ate. ani in subsequent addresses, •: -e as object in entering into dis- . e ee - eeeeld be only to agree upon • . • , - . .ieal detaile of ,their applica- - ei ' e eraniere feele bound to say e . .7.-c- -71 he suggestion of an e.r• `Leeeie 'iett 7.1e semi -1 not feel at 1 .e pr,),(1,,i ,I. ceseation of arms e,- ; ove rn n ten te with which the (e Lee, es rit of the -United States i4 „ tell the public Ithat this well known mimity, and that our good' wishes**11 hostelry will be open to the public follow Ybu to your new sphere of ac - immediately and travellers can rest tion, where we trust you. will meet assured that their every wanit will be- with. the success and happiness you so attended to. *lay merit.
