Every American who has access to

it is a thrilling document, eoniptirtr
hie in spirit and matter to our own
immortal Declaration, and expressing
'lth inspired eloquence the very spir-
it and purpose of the Allied t-uuso.
Ilene are a few of the most etriklntz
”graphs:
"We cannot and will not continue to
live undet the direct or indirect ruin
of the tiolntors oi‘ Belgium, Frame
and Serbia. the would be murderers

and soldiers oi‘ our blood and the u“-
oomplites in numberloss unspeakable
crlmt’is comnittteed in this war stuttiiirt
humanity by the two degenerate and
irresponsible dynasties.
“We will not remain a part of a
little which has no justification for
existence and which, rcfustnr. to tic-
up! the fundamental principles ot
modem w«rld organization. rcmnitta‘
only an artificial and immoral politi-
cal structure, hindering ever-v "1th
meat toward democratic and social
progress. The liapsbttrg dynasty.
weighed down by a huge inheritance
of error and crime. is a perpetual
mace to the peace of the world. and
we deem it our duty toward humanity
and civilization to aid in brineint'.
Ibout its downfall and destructhn‘.
"We reject the sacrllegiouii iltiiwf‘

and Hohenxoilern dynasties is of di
he origin; we refuse to recounllc
the divine rights of kings. Our notion

of Bohemia of its own free will and

We accapt and shall adhere to the

tions, and of governments deriving all
their just power from the consent of

not impress the German people into
this work and have them ie plant the
regions they laid waste with the pro-
ducts of their 0““ fields and {arms
and forests?
Even this would not actuallr undo
the damage they have wrought. It
would be only it partial restoration

The general tone. of the note, togeth-
er with the significant statement that
"the otter oi peace and tin armistice
has come from a Government which is
free front any arbitrary and irrespons-
ible influence,” strengthens the belief
here. that there is a genuine desire for
peace. Like the first note, this one is
regained in some quarters as another
iatop in the German plan of bargaining
in the hope of securing terms more fu-

“The bigger in the. woodpile." in the

PARIS, Oct. 22. —Tlit‘. cerium reply it
to President Wilson was eagerly tilts“. ‘
cussed in oilicial circles and in Parlia-
ment. Among deputies of all shades .
of opinion the impression was, first of U
all, that the reply betrayed more than H
previous winmuniCationt-i the state of
depression and the ticmoralizution of
the German people, its the result oi the
Allies" victories.
As a wlioie, the note is found to be ll
so equivocal and tortuous and platitu-
dinousl) phrased as to leave the door .
opened tor all sorts oi quibblinc. No "
where is there evidence iii the reply
ot‘ a genuine desire to accept the only
according to expression of opinions
here. (in the contrary. all that is ap-
parent is the urgent desire of the Ger- _ .
man General Bttttl‘ to get an armiathc.
at any price, in order to reorganiae '
its roservcs oi‘ men and material. ,
'l‘herct'orc, it .s generally believed that H
the reply is not likely to be consider- ' ’
od at Washington.
The Figaro says the men who cont-
billed to write the reply to President
Wilson "hint translated the anguish.
disarray and wwvrlcss anger of the
people in whose mime they pretend to to
speak.“ ’ '
’l‘ltt- Motto says:
"Our ttdwisatry seeks still to tlt‘t‘l‘lYtt
hiiimcli‘ by lulling himself against all
evidence and hopes to succeed in tic-
ludini: \lilson by ‘t‘ulilllnllln and equit-
octttions.” ’
The Joutnul says tht- note ucoks to ~ .
divide the Allies and to draw from .
President Wilson a formal declaration
lltill “nothing will be asked contrary \
to the boom ot‘ the German people, but ‘
what an avowal of defeat it is!"
t‘olout-l dc Thouutsson, in the Petitl '
Journal. says "The note is proof that . ,.
the German high cottimand couttitiersl
the. fillUHlltlll of its arntiua moat grave,l .
but not yet desperate." 5
“The German. Government again is; ,
trying to quibble," says L'Homnie L13.”

it does not admit tot defeat. but one' ‘
feels it lit at the. and or its resintance."t U

says: 't)n every point the German Goth,

of flaps and tricks. We may ubscn'o‘

LONDON. Monday. Oct. 21. The
German reply to President Wilson is ‘ ’
regained here an “not business, but‘
more at‘xuiiu-nt anti molestation" in
government, diplomatic and political
circles, the view is that it ta not it re- ‘
One. highly placed official described it. ,
as "badly camouflaged indincerity."
Henry hi. Hyndinan, leader of that
British Socialists. said: '
"This reply is simply another piece
of shuffling. I hope President Wilson.
will answet it very abruptly and brie. ,
iiy. If he were to accept this retily as‘ . .
il basis tor negotiation, in my opinion.‘
he would simply be sacrificing the dig~
ntly of the position he has worthily ~ .
gained." 1
Frederick George Kelioway, l’arlia~
mental-y Secretary to the Minister of ‘
Munitions. said: "'
‘Only our leaders. Premier Lloyd
George, i'tcnticr t‘leiiienceau and Pres'
ident Wilson, on the political side. and
Marshal Foch, Field Marshal Hair: and
General Pershing, on the military side,
can say if the note means that Ger
many is at last prepared to face the
facts and _drw the inevitable conclu-
sion. The way to make an early peace
is to be ready for it long war," .
