That Term "Impend
liOiidon, Oct. 14.
Ono of the most significant points
in Ocrmnny's reply to President
Wilson Is that It Is the first Im
portant (Icrrnnn diplomatic com
munication since the Herman em
pire was proclaimed at Versailles
fn 1871 which has not spokcp In
the name of the Imperial Clcrman
CIo eminent.
"The Herman Go eminent" Is nit
absolutely new phrase, and the
omission of the word "Imperial" Is
unprecedented. Whether that tin huh
latcrlng to President Wilson's
lews or whether It means change
In (lermnny remains to ho seen.

ions as those whlih have dlrectid nnd

which has disgraced the name of Her

If President Wilson were to
believe the laler s l)lng statement
,that his Hovirnmcnt has ncicpttd Ihe
terms laid down, the Herman people
would be lonllrmed In their slavish
belief In the power and wisdom of Ihelr

The Dallj News sajs that the Herman
note Implies that German) accepts de
feat ns the virdlct of the war, hut
expresses some doubt ns to Poctor Solf's
replv relative to the elimination of mill,
tary iulers whlih It describes as mi

sion of defeat. The newspaper con
tlnues "The Immediate matter that will oc

continues
'We wish a formal declaration as to

It believes, however, there cannot be

aro behind President Wilson Is respected
Let t-urll llerlde
Skeptical of the declaration that the
Geininn Government represents the peo
ple, the Telegraph points out the fact
that the German Hmpernr apiraluts the
Chancellor, who names his own mlnls
tr) The paper Is emphatic that Hie
question of on nrmlstlca must be In the
hands of Marshal Foeh, but Insists that
ono loUId not possibly bo granted with
out adequate guarantees, for Instance,
the surrender of certain strategli points
in Germnny Moreover, It s,i)S
'The British nation has the right to
speak on this question by virtue tvf Its
having borne the chief burdens of the
war and pla)ed a preponderant part In
It The British fleet, nicord-
I Ing to the testimony of all foreign ob
servers, including Admiral Sims, has
been the absolutely Indispensable foun

We should be devoid of the lommon
feelings of Justice and prudence If we
do not demand as one of the guarantees
the surrender of German) 's submarines
and the dlsmantlng of her high-Bias

The Times regards Germain's answer

"The assoclattd governments have not
the slightest intention of accepting
mixed lommlsslons to make arrange

The press Is making "Wilson's basis"

The trend Is obvious from statements
made In the Vienna papers. These papers
lay stress on the epiestlon of evacua

"The note from Wilson Is of no small
Importance for peace. It Is void of
that hatred which might Insutt, even

pointed out Hint the (iciman constitu

There was rrueh activity In mlnlsler'al
nnd official circles CBlerday,,nrllng out
of the situation created by the publica
tion of Germany's reply to Pres'dant
Wilson's Inquiries. Arthur J, llalfour.
Donnr Law and Lord Mllncr left Indon

Is staying In the countryj They returned
In the evening.
It does not follow from the acceptance
by Germany of the President's fourteen
points that pence Is, as It were, on the
threshold Mr Wilson made It clear in
his Inquiry that willingness to evacuate
Invnded territory was a condition prece
dent even to a discussion of the request
for an armistice, it will be for- '""i
Allied statesmen to pe-olde whether 'hero
shtvejld he nn armistice, nnd comH'lons
of such an armistice would necessarily
have to be pi escribed by the naval and
mllltnry chiefs of the Allies.
Given an armistice, ther must be
.some visible and pnlpabfe sign that Ger
mnn militarism Is defeated, In some
quarters It Is held that nothing short
of unconditional surrender will sultlce.
tlulgarlanN Precedent
An Influential authority 'yertirday
said:
"The tlulgarlnn precedent Is the ono
to follow. Nothing less than uncon
ij'tlemal surrender ought to satisfy the
Allies lly this I mean the surrender of
all Germna arms, munitions nnd mili
tary stores in the occupied territories,
also the handing, over to the Allied
nrmles of bridgeheads on the Hhlno and
other strategic points as Marshal Foch
and Hlr, Jiouglag Ilnlg may direct. They
should nlso demand n cessntlon of tha
U-boat warfare"
This may bo reunified ns an istrcmo
view, but there can be ri difference of
opinion ha to the necessity of accompany.
Ing any grant of an armistice by con
ditions, that will leave the Allies In nt
least as favorable a position nfter the
