Wellington, Oct, 10 An early re sponse to President Wilson's Inquiry to tht, German Chancellor Is expected by American officials. While realizing that an answer to the three pertinent ques tions put lo the Prince of Baden will be v.ery difficult If the original proposal of tho German Government were not sin cere, officials are confident that Internal condltlp-is in Germany and the tremen dous exigencies of the mllltarv situation will force speedy action by the Chan cellor If ho hopes to prolong the ex istence of his cabinet bejond a few days. Germanv's plea for an arinlsllce'ls founded, both American and Allied mlll tarv officials hern believe, unoit ret oenl- tlon In Berlin of the fact that the Ger- man army organisation In France is slowly disintegrating under the terrific campaign of Marshal Koch These officers regard the move of the German Chancellor as a desperate eleventh-hour attempt to escape serious military disaster, nnd they would not be surprised If President Wilton's con dition that there can be no talk of an armistice except when coupled with agreement to withdraw ImmedlaUly from all Invaded terrltorv were promptly accepted. The answer to such a move, it was suggested today, would be to leave to Marshal Foch the dictation of the terms of the nrmlstlce, should the situation ever reach that stage, as the Supreme Commander can be trusted to see that no military advantage to the enemy re sulted.

Amaterdam, Oct 10 Information now coming through from Germany by other means than telegraph wires and newspapers regarding the general situation which has been brought about by the coming Into office of the new Government and careful sifting of news which comes through channels generally reliable and from competent local quartcis ennbles me to give the following estimate of the situation: I German hopes that Prlnco Max's ac- tlon would b Immediately successful havo sunk somewhat, but the predomi nating fact Is that the new Chnncellor and the Government did not take this I step without counting the cost In the j first place. They harbor no doubts that , the nssodatcd governments will be cer- .! ,n..ii.nA n.li, tKnmitnhn.lna nn., ' dltlons as a preliminary to an ni mistier and peace negotiations, and It is re garded as certan that the evacuation of Belgium and tho occupied regions of France will be comprised In them Such a demand, It I believed. Is not In Itself regarded bv tho German Gov ernment as unacceptable. Alsace-Lorraine, of course, Is a serious piobletn and there nre Important circles In Berlin which support some such Idea as that of consenting to place Alsace-Lorraine at the disposal of the league of nations. Prepare for I'.isruatlon A flood of reports coming across the frontier from Belgium tells Of prepara tions for the evacuation of that covmtry At a time like this such statements must be accepted under great reserve, but there tan be little doubt that the mili tary authorities there are preparing for eventualities. A possible demand for some degree of demobilization Is a problem which is naturally engaging the serious attention of the German Government, and it leads to consideration of the military point of view. I have the best grounds for ussertlng that the new government did THE "OFQUAUTY nuiuuiduccs a Motor Vehicles i not come Into existence without the eon rent ot the army chiefs. The supreme command has every reason to be con vinced that Its aim of concluding the war by the complete defeat of the Kn tente armies has failed and that the future holds no prospect whatever of that verdict being; reversed. A retreat roughly to the German fron tiers would shorten the front by about one-third, and the last conceivable hope is that the army might be able to hold on there for some time, but that Is greatly qunllflcd hope. The quality of the German army, bejond nit doubt, has seriously deterio rated. The re-enforcements' of new re cruits are ery largely joung men out or the schoolroom, wno, ror tno great er part of the duration of tho war have been living under food conditions which havo plaved havoc With their physique. Fare Man-rower CrUls The German command, said a well- informed traveler from Germany lo me, Is faced by a serious man-power proh Icm, for it Is recognized that the posi tion becomes very bad when gaps have to be filled up with such material. The (war cannot be waged with armies com nosed of school boys to an ever-increas ing extent. Again, that hope Is qualified by the rumbling of the quadruple alliance. Bulgaria Is gone, Turkey Is as good as gone, and there are few In Germany w ho do not recognize that the Dual Mon archy may fall aw'ay at any time, Ger many, therefore. Is virtually convinced that, to use an Irishism of my Informant Just referred to. It may soon In a broad sense be a case of fighting with one's back to a wall which is not there. These arc the reasons, I believe, which led the German command to consent to the creation of a new Government to see If something can be saved, now that the objects which the military au thorities set themselves to attain and pledged themselves to obtain are Im possible of realisation. The German losses too, are a serious matter. In a little more than two months the German army. It Is declared, has lost half a million men, and about one-fifth of Its artillery. Losses on anv thing like that scale cannot cbntlnue without something giving way some where at an early date Germany has virtually lost a ear's class In two months. learning For Peate Such btlefiy Is, I believe, the situa tion as the Government and military authorities view it. Behind everything Is the Intensely growing desire of the German masses for peace at almost any price. .The statement of Count West orp, the Conservative lender, In the Kreuzzeltung that everything must he done to bring the present peace action to a successful conclusion indicates the general nature of the wish for a con clusion of the watand demonstrates the conviction which exists tha,t matters are fairly desperate.
