an unanimous decision for a line of common action; were
k'crurded as being dwply significant. . -
Lacking of intelligence upon which to base a prediction,
observers are forced to record indications. J.he indica
tions are that there will be no armistice, and that if the
entente allies were disposed to agree, to one" they probably
would demand as guarantees of.good faith that such places
as Metz, Strassburg, Trieste and Possibly Essen be
placed in the hands of entente forces to guarantee fulfill
ment of Germany's, pledges. ,
Unofficial opinion at the capital was diveded into two
distinct groups. - One view, shared largely by Republicans
in congress, is that Senator Lodge's perd'iction of a situa
tion which' may. threaten the Substitution of the delibera
tions of diplomacy for victoncs at arms has been fulfilled.
The other, confident in the success of President Wil
son's diplomacy, and probably forming its conclusions
from a close knowledge of what the government is plan
ning, is very certain that the President has created a sit
uation where ho now can deliver another stroke which will
bring about an unconditional surrender or throw the kai
ser and the German militarists completely out of any
power they may retain.
There is a general f'celirip; that tho next move will con
front the military party with the choice of such uncondi
tional surrender ns will be acceptable to all the allied co-
belligerents or a genuine political revolution in Germany,
winch will bring about such a surrender.
It has been pointed but that President Wilson's inquiry
was skilfully mimed to pave the way tor an opportunity
to inform the,Gernian people directly that no covenants
of peace can be ...made with, the men who have betrayed
the world.
The present German government, which was formed by
conferences and has the support of the majority of the
reichstag, was formed through inyierial decree which per
mitted it. There is nothing berore any ot the allied gov
ernments, so far as is known, to show that there has been
any change in the German system which would prevent
the autocratic power which uttered that decree to revoke
it, when its purpose had been accomplished.

Germany Cries ' Kamernd.
Omoha World Herald. Germany
has surrendered. -It cries "kamcrad"
and promises everything we have de
manded. It rubs the nose of kultur in
th dirt at the feet at the. democratic
idealism it has derided and outraged.
Yet nobody is satisfied. Few appear
even glad. We just can't believe it
Germany has so long and so shame
lessly flaunted. 'Its faithlessness, its
perjury, its dishonor, that now there
is none on earth prepared to believe
what it says. It has no more of a good
name than a hyena. 1

It answers directly and without waste
of words the questions asked by Pres

to be settled the question of whether
these conditions constitute the uncon:
ditional surrender that is now gener

San Diego Union. In the German
"answer there is a sedulous avoidance
of reference to an ''imperial German
government." The significance of this
infers that there has been n radical
change in political conditions in Ger
many or that the chancellory is cam
ouflaging with the President's state
ment that this country was warring
upon the imperial Gorman government
and not necessarily on the German
people1. - s
- Los Angeles Times. Secretary Mc
Adoo says that on the face of it, Ger
many's reply is an unconditional sur
render and it is difficult to see any
thing else in it. But President Wilson
is within reason in asking for a sus
pension of public judgment until he
has had time to consider the reply. Our
allies arid the American people will
rely largely upon his judgment.
Sacramento Union. President Wil
son has decreed force to the utmost
until Germany has been beaten to her
lands. That decree thrilled America
and the world. The only way to
escape for Germany should be not the
abdication of the kaiser and his fam
ily, but their surrender with all the
rest of the inner military circles who
decreed war. Then let there be a

Des Moines Register. There is
room, of course, for skepticism. Ger
man diplomacy has been conspicu
ously Machiavellian. The allied pow
ers would make a tremendous mistake
if they accepted verbial assurances as
surances in the place of accomplished
results. But let us not forget that
President Wilson has all the mental
virtues which we bunch together when
we say "cool headed" and he is not
