THE WAR SITUATION
The text of the official German note
in reply to President Wilson had not
been received at Washington at the
time of writing, but the report by
wireless received on Monday is as fol-
lows:
"In accepting the proposal for an
evacuation a occupied territories
the German Government has started
from the assumption that the pro-
cedure of this evacuation and of the
conditions ef an armistice sh.ouli be
left to the military advisers, and that
the actual standard of power oi
bothsides in the field has to form
the basis for arrangements safe-
guarding and guaranteeing this stan-
dardo
"The German Government sug-
gests to the President that an op-
portunity should be brought about
for fixing the details. It trusts that
the President of the United States
will approve of no demand which
would be irreconcilable with the
honor of the German people, and
with opening a way to a peace of
justice.
"The German Government pro-
tests against the reproah!1 of illegal
and inhumane actions made against
the German land and sea forces, and
thereby against the German people.
For the covering of a retreat de-
struetion will always be necessary,
and they are carried out in so far as
is permitted by international law.
The German troops are under the
most strict instruction to spare pro-
perty and to exercise care for the
population to the best of their abil-
ity. Where transgressions occur in
spite of these instructions the guilty
are being punished.
"The German Goverment further
denies that the German navy in sink-
ing ships has ever purposely de-
stroyed life boats with their pas-
sengers. The German Government
proposes with regard to all these
charges that the facts be cleered up
by neutral comraissions.
The order to avoid anything that
might hamper' the work of peace,
the German Gevernment has caused
orders to be despatched to ail sub -
marten commanders precluding the
torpedoing of passenger ships with-
out, however, for technical reasons,
being able to guarantee that these
orders will reach every single sub-
. ina•rine at sea before its return.
"As a fundamental condition for
peace the President prescribes the
destruotion of every arbitrary power
•that can separately, secretly, and of
its own eingle choice distrub the
peace of the world. To this the
German Government replies:
"Hitherto the representations of
the people of the German Empire
has not beeu endowed with an in-
fluence on the formation of the
Government
"The constitietien did not 'provide
for a concurrence of representation
cif the people in decisions of peace
eind war. These conditions have
just now undergone a fundamental.
change. A new Government has
been formed in coral -tete accordance
with the wishes of the representa-
tion of the people, based on equal,
univereal, secret, direct franchise.
--The leaders of the great parties
of the Reichstag are members of
this Government. In the future no
Government can take or continue in
office without possessiong the con-
lidence of a niajority of the Reich-
etiag.
"The responsibility of the Chan -
yeller (if the Empire to the represen-
Lotion of the neopl), is beihe legally
,velepeil and ..eifeeseutrdeil. The
eret act ef riew Governinent has
eer to-tiay le -fere the Reichstag a
to alter e constit ut ion. of the
Empire that the consent of the
eepreeertatiiiii id' the people is re-
quired for uevisions on war end
peace.
"The permanence of the new sys--,
tem is, however, guaranteed not oaly
by constitutional safeguards, but
ASO by the unehakeable determina-
tion of the German people, whose
vast majority stands behind these
reforms and de ,liands theiri energe tic
eontinuanee.
"The question of the Piesident—
with who he and the Governments
:iesociated against- Germany are
eealing—is therefore unsweiwed in a
, mar, unequivocalmanner b y t ne
!,aternent that the offer of peace
end an armistice has come from a
eivernment which is free from any
ebltrary and isresponsibie tnfiu-

f7f an overwhelming majority of the

simpler and plainer terms. The gen-
eral opinion in the Allied countries
seems to be that Germany is not yet
ready to lay down her arms and is only
playing for thne to reorganize her
militant front. The real desire of
Germany's generals is undoubtedly to
get out of her now dangerous position
and back to 'some selected line. Whe-
ther that line be in France or Belgium
,or on the frontiers of her own country
with the last possible damage, so as
to escape what happened to them in
their retreats from the Marne and the
St. Michdl salient. The allied military
opinion biso holds that Germany's
peace e orts are aimed to secure
through an armistice, the consent of
