12 REPLY OF HUNS STRIKES FROST IN WAR LANDS Knemy Still Impenitent; Foe Twists Wilson Condition*; Only Shuffling Paris, Oct. 22. —The German re ply to President Wilson was eagerly discussed in official circles ind in parliament. Among deputies of all shales of opinion the. impres sion was, first of all, that the reply betrayed more than previous com munications the state of depression and the demoralization of the Ger man people a tshe result of the Allies' victories. As a whole, the note is found to be equivocal and tortuous and plati tudinously phrased us to leave the door op£n for all sorts of quibbling. Nowhere >8 there evidence in the reply of a genuine desire to accept the only way in which peace can be concluded aceordin gto expression of opinions here On the contrary, all that is apparent is the urgent de sire of the German general staff to get an armistice at any price in or der to reorganize its reserves of men and material. Therefore, it is gen erally believed that the reply is not likely to be considered at Washing ton. Loudon. Oct. 22. — Newspapers al most without exception view the German reply to President Wilson with impatience and distrust. "Ger many still impenitent," is the cap tion on the editorial of the Chronicle, which dismisses the reply as ob viously inacceptable. The Graphic is more optimistic and says "ver bally, the Germans are getting slightly nearer the point of view upon which the Allies mean to in sist." "The nigger in the woodpile," in the German reply, according to the Express, is the desire "for an armis tice based on an elaborate estimate of the rival forces us they are to day." This, lite newspaper says, is a "disingenious twist of the Wilson conditions," and continues; • "We dare not consent to a suspen sion of hostilities unless we can ob tain in October the terms we shall ■dictate before July to an enemy who is broken and beaten to his knees." The German reply to President Wilson is regarded here as "not business, but mere argument and protestation." in government, diplo matic and political circles the view is that it ,s not a reply, but simply a resort to verbiage. One highly placed official described it as "badly camouflaged insincerity " Would Sacrifice Dignity lleitrv M llyndinan. leader of the B'i Socialists, said: - reply is simply another piece of shuffling. I hope President Wil son will answer it very abruptly and briefly. If he were to accept this reply as a basis for negotiation, in my opinion he would simply be sac rificing the dignity of tlte position he has worthily gained." Frederick George Kelloway. par liamentary secretary to the minister of munitions said: "Only our leaders. Premier Lloyd George, Premier i Temeneeau anil President Wilson, on the political side, and Marshal Koch, Field Marshal Huig and Gen eral Pershing, on the military side, can say if the note means that Ger many is at Utst prepared to face the fuels and draw the inevitable con clusion. The way to make an early pence is to be ready for a long war." Liggett and Bullard Made Lieut. Generals Washington. Oct. 22.—Major Gen erals Hunter Liggett and Robert L. Bullard were nominated by Presi dent Wilson to lie lieutenant gen erals. General Liggett commands the First American Field Army in France and General Bullard "com mands the second. They become the only liehtenant generals on the ac tive list, their new rank being for the war period, like that of General Pershing. General Liggett is a major general in the regular establishment, and General Bullard is a brigadier. When General Liggett arrived in France General Pershing was at work on the formation of the First Army Corps and this task was I romptly assigned to him. The American commander-in-chief was so well satisfied with the result that l.iggett was given direct command of tlte First Field Army when it was organized and led it into action when in the first major offensive, the St. Mihiel salient was wiped out in a day.

"The responsibility of the chancellor of the empire to the representation. of the people is being legally developed and safeguarded. The first act of the new government has been to lay before the reichstag a bill to alter the constitution of the em pire so that the consent of the representation of the people is required for decisions on war and peace. "The permanence of the new system is, however, guaranteed not only by constitutional saf#- guards, but also by the un shakable determination of the German people, whose vast ma jority stands behind these re forms and demand their ener getic continuance. "The question of the Presi dent—with whom he and the governments associated against Germany are dealing—is there fore answered in a clear, une quivocal manner by the state ment that the offer of peace und an armistice has come from a government which, free from any arbitrary influence, is sup ported by the approval of an overwhelming majority of the German people. (Signed) "SOLF." PRESIDENT NOT TO ANSWER TODAY [Continued from First l'agc.] President to make any peace with an (armed Germany. ; The German note seeks to make it appear that steps toward constitu tional and governmental reform in I Germany will be taken to free the (German government from arbitrary and irresponsible influences, but ot hers no real proof that there has yet been an actual destruction of the arbitrary powers lodged in rll e kaiser and the imperial government load lers, and no evidence is afforded that |the kaiser Hindenburg, and Lurien dorff are not to-night as completely in control of the German military machine as they were prior 10 the launching of the German pcaco of fensive. Need Make No Reply Diplomatic observers point out that the President is at liberty, with per (feet consistency, to make no response at this time, but to await develop j ments. to await the performance of (the promises of tjie Germans not to I torpedo passenger ships, their im- I plied promise to work no more de [struction during their retreat from Belgium and France than military ■ necessity requires, and finally to await further development of the political leaven that evidently is iworking toward the complete over throw of military and autocratic power in the empire. ! N'o one believes that an immediate j cessation of hostilities is in sight. (The opinion most generally held is that, if Mr. Wilson decides to make I a reply,' and if the Entente Govern | ments agree, the only step possible at this time would be to sanction ar rangements to be dictated by Genernl iFoch in the field for withdrawal of the Germans without further fight ing. Such arrangements of course, would be contingent upon guaran tees of continued supremacy of the victorious allied armies, and conse quently virtually would mean sur render for the Germans. | Senator Borah said he looked I upon the note and the German gov ernment reforms both as shams, and doubted the sincerity of the arm istice paragraph. This is a good time to end negotiations, he added. Senator Curtis, after considering the note, said he still thought we should demand unconditional surren ider, after which peace terms could [be discussed. | Senator Overman, Democrat, thought the "way seemed open to j peace if we wanted to accept" that [kind of peace. I Senator McKellar, Democrat, said: |"I am still for absolute and uncon ditional surrender." Senator Harding. Republican, said: "The note contains no new sug gestions which we can accept re garding an armistice." Senator Smoot, Republican, said: I "The American people and the gov ernments of the Allies will never stand for any sort of a negotiated (peace. Until the Huns have more than a taste of defeat there can be [no peace. Unless the military power of Germany is broken nothing but a jpatched-up peace can be made, if peace that is to last is- to be made, [it cannot be through negotiations. [ I must be dictated to Germany. Ger ;many is not beaten yet, und peace (negotiations now would be a terrible mistake." ! Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, said: ("I do not believe an armistice will be granted until all the terms of all the i Allies have been accepted and com plied with." j Senator Poindexter, Republican, Isaid: "When German armies have I laid down their arms and marched Ito the points designated by the Al lied high command, then Germany I will be conquered, and not until | then." Bike the first note, this one is re ( garded in some quarters as another I step in the German plan of bargain ( ing in the hope of securing terms more favorable than the uncondi i tional surrender which they are pre j pared to make Ilnully if peace can ; come in no other way. j Official comment continued to be [ withheld awaiting anindicatlon of the President's views. Revolution In Germany I Observers here who are convinced [that the enemy is beaten Into sub mission andthat efforts at bargaining now aremerely a prelude to complete surrender in the near future, if the Allies hold firm tothe determination to accept nothing else, are guided by confidential diplomatic advices pur porting to show that there has been a real political revolution In Germany and that the people in power are ready to throw out the Knlser und all his war lords to get peace. Troops Get Secret Orders it was learnedto-day that a pri vate dispatch from Germany has been published in a Copenhagen news paper, stating that the troops on leave are receiving secret orders not to return to the front and that to this extent demobilization has begun.
