MIXED COMMISSION ASKED
Chancellor Says He Speaks In Name
of Both Government and People.
Peace Is Far From Assured,
(Continue From First Pace.
"Fork tonight and reserved comment on
the note, his views cannot be stated
now, and none of his official family
here in Washington cared to speak for
him.
End of War ot Seen,
Without any attempt to discount
what appeared to be, at a casual read
ing, an acceptance of the terms the
President has laid down, officials here
were very positive as not accepting: the
German note as a document which
means the end of the war. It needs to
be examined and fully considered be
fore the views of the American Gov
ernment can be stated.
Should President Wilson finally de
cide that there is enough sincerity in
Germany's proposition to transmit it
to the allies, as the German Chancellor
requested, it should be borne in mind
that Great Britain, France and the
other entente nations must be taken
into consideration for decisions then
as to whether an armistice should be
granted or whether discussions should
be undertaken to carn out the details
of the application of President Wil
son's peace term.!.
Publicity Paiilei Capital.
All official Washington was at a
complete loss to understand the text
of the note becoming- public in this
way. -Neither the State Department nor
the Swiss legation, which is looking;
after Gewnan interests, trad received
the reply, and it was very evident that
it had been made public, through a
faux pass.
There was, however, no attempt to
dispute its authenticity and the diplo
mats to whom the dispatch should
have been sent could only express re
gret that the dispatch had been made
public.
Karly this evening the newspaper
correspondents were summoned by
telephone to the offices of the diplo
matic mission, where many diplomatic
dispatches are received every day. An
attache there gave out copies of the
dispatch in the regular way, bearing
the usual distinguishing marks. It
was at once flashed to the country.
Dispatch Sent to Wilson
The contents of the dispatch were at
once communicated to President Wil
son in New York and to Secretary
Lansing here.
It is probable that the text of the
official communication may differ in
some respects as to verbiage from ths
unofficial copy given out tonight, but
it is regarded as highly improbable
that it will show any- substantial dll
ferences.
At tho first reading, the text would
seem to answer in a manner which
might lead to peace all the questions
President Wilson asked of Chancellor
Maximilian in his inquiry which was
sent as an answer to the German peace
note received here lat Monday.
In this inquiry the - President de
clared he would not propose an armia
tice while troops of the central powers
remained on invaded soil ; he asked
whether Prince Maximilian accepted
the term of peace as laid down or
merely wanted to discuss them "as. a
basis for negotiation. an.d finally he
asked whether the Chancellor merely
represented the militarists who have
been conducting the war.
Peace Door Seems Open.
These inquiries the German govern-
iiiciil Drciiin ii aiimvci in a. milliner
which at least has not closed the door
to peace. The evacuation of invaded
territory pending declaration of an
armistice the answer accepts; it says
the terms of peace are accepted, and
makes no further mention of a "basis
for negotiation," and declares the
Chancellor was speaking for the Ger
man government as recently reconsti
tuted and the German people as well.
The one point which appeared to loom
tip in the text of the unofficial copy !
whether Chancellor Maximilian and
Foreign Secretary. Solf can in reality
represent the German people as the re
ply declares they do.
President Wilson's estimate and the
estimate of the statesmen of the co
belligerents on the safety of dealing
vith the heads of the German govern
tnent have often been repeated. Thos
heads have been denounced as un
t worthy of trust, and not to be expected
to keep promises.
' Whether President Wilson and the:
entente allies regard the government I
now headed by Maximilian and which
has Solf for its Secretatry of State for
Foreign Affairs one which can speak
under any circumstances for the Ger
man people and bind them to the peace
terms which the allies will impose re
mains to be seen.
WilMon's Answer Awaited.
There was no official expression on
that point in Washington tonight in
resident Wilson's absence. Probably
no one in the United States but he can
give the answer.
Reading through the phrases of the
unofficial text, everyone here immedi
ately was struck with the question of
what must have happened In Germany
recently to make such an answer possi
ble. One of the closing phrases which de
clares 4hat the present German gov
ernment has been formed by confer
ences irt agreement with the great ma
jority of the Reichstag, and that the
Chancellor "speaks in the name of the
German government and of the Ger
man people, was regarded as being
susceptible to almost unlimited specu
lation. What has become of the Kaiser, was
the question asked on every hand as
that phrase was read. The world knows
very little of what has been going on
in Germany during the last few months,
when, with armies steadily beaten at
the front, things at home have been
going from bad to worse.
It was regarded cs hot without the
realm of possibilities thatt the great
power of the Kaiser which brought on
the war has been taken from htm.
The official text of the German note
had not been received heje at a late
hour tonight. It was announced there
would be no official comment at least
until it arrived.

TERMS OF PEACE LAID DOWN BY
PRESIDENT WILSON JANUARY 8
Great Issues of War Concisely Stated in Mt. Vernon Speech July 4.
rpHE programme of world peace laid i speech In New Tork September 27, the
X down by President " Wilson In .his
message to Congress, January 8, 1918,
known as "the 14 terms" which Ger
many is reported to have accepted, has
since been supplemented by a statement
of the great issues of the war given in
the address, July 3 at the tomb" of
Washington at Mount Vernon and still
more recently before a great audience
in New York City, September 27, little
more than" two weeks ago.
One should not lose sight of. the fact
that the later utterances are Just as
important as the first one, which dealt
principally with the internal affairs of
Europe. The "fourteen terms" were re
printed in full in The Urcgonian of
Wednesday, October J.
The address at Mount Vernon was
.made at a time when the Oermans
were victoriously rushing toward Paris
and before they had been checked by
the Americans. The President then de
clare! the peace could be made only
upon these conditions:
Kirst The destruction of every ar
bitrary power anywhere that can sep
arately, secretly and - of its single
choice disturb th peace of the world;
or, if it cannot be presontly destroyed,
at the least its .reduction to virtual
impotence.
Second By tho settlement of every
question, whether of territory, of sov
ereignty, of economic arrangements, or
of political relationship, upon the basis
of the free acceptance of that settle
ment by .the people immediately con
cerned, and not upon the basis of the
material interest or advantage of any
other nation or peoples which may de
sire a different settlement for the sake
of its own exterior Influence or
mastery.
Third The consent of all nations to
be governed In their conduct towards
each other by the same principles of
honqr and of respect for. the common
law or civilized society tnat govern the
individual citizens of all modern states
in their relatione with one another;
to the end that all promises and cov
enants may be sacredly observed, no
private plots or conspiracies hatched,
no selfish injuries ' wrought with im
punity, and a mutual trust established
upon the handsome foundation of a
mutual respect'for right..
Fourth The establishment of an or
ganization, of peace which shall make
it certain that the combined power of
free nations will check every invasion
of right and serve to make peace and
justice the more Secure by affording a
definite tribunal of opinion to which
all must submit and by which -every
international -readjustment that can
not be amicably agreed upon by the
peoples directly concerned - shall be
sanctioned.

LONDON GETS . BOCHE REPLY
Text of Peace Proposal. Is Like One
Received in Washington.
LONDON", Oct. 12.-The reply of the
German government to President Wil
son's note was forwarded to Washing
ton at noon today. The text was made
public here this evening.
In- brief, Germany accepts the terms
laid down by President Wilson for the
foundation of a permanent peace n jus
tice. It declares itself readv to-com
ply with the President' proposals for
the evacuation of occupied territory.
It. suggests that the President-may
President thus defined the great issues
of the. war:
"Shall the military power of any na
tion or group of nations be suffered
to determine the fortunes of peoples
over whom they have no right to rule,
except the rule of force?
"Shall strong nations be free to
wrong weak nations and make them
subject to their purpose and interest?
"Shall peoples be ruled and domin
ated even- in their own internal affairs,
by arbitrary and irresponsible force, or
by their own will and choice?
"Shall there be a common standard
of right and privilege for all peoples
and nations, or shall the strong do as
they will and the weak suffer without
redress?
"Shall the assertion of right be hap
hazard and by casual alliance, or'shall
there be a common concert to oblige
the observance of common rights?
"No man, no group of men", chose
these to be the Jssues of Jthe struggle.
They aro the issues of it, and they
must be settled hy no arrangement or
compromise or adjustment of interests,
but definitely and once for all, and with
a -full and unequivocal acceptance of
the principle that the interest of the
weakest is as sacred as the interest of
Jhe strongest.
"This is what we mean when we
speak . of a. permanent peace, if we
speak sincerely and Intelligently,
"We are all agreed that there can be
no peace obtained by any "kind of bar
gain or compromise with the govern
ments of the central powers, because
we have dealt with them already, and
hav'seen them deal with other govern
ments that were parties to this strug
gle, at Brest-LiteAsk and Bucharest.
"They have convinced us that they
are without honor and do not Intend
justice. They observe no covenants,
accept 410 principle but force and their
own Interest. We cannot come to terms
with them.
"The German people must by this
time he fully dware that we cannot ac
cept the word of those who forced this
war upon us. We do not think the
same thoughts or speak the same lan
guage of agreements
"It is of capital importance that wa
should also be explicitly agreed that
no peace shall be obtained by any kind
of compromise or abatement of the
principles for which we are fighting.
There should exist no doubt about
that."
Peace might have been made January
8 on the "terms" set forth by the Presi
dent, which it is now reported Germany
is willing to accept. Since -then the
outrages committed by tha.t nation cry
aloud for vengeance. In the words of
the President, America now demands
"the destruction of every arbitrary
power anywhere that can separately,
secretly and of its single choice dis
turb the peace of the world-."
People of Portland Heights Assem
ble) to Hear Sews or Germany's
Reported Desire for Peace.
When the first cry of the Kaiser's
declaration of acceptance of President
Wilson's peace note was hesrd on Port
land Heights last evening. Bishop W. T.
Sumner gave an exhibition of strategic
forethought that .would have put a man
of more militant profession to shame.
He waited only to confirm the report
on the streets by calling The Oregonlan
offire and. donning his bishop's robes,
he went to the Chapel of the Ascension
where he pulled the bell with such
vigor as to assemble the prople of the
neighborhood, whom he Informed of the
news. For several hours during the
evening people of the vicinity gathered
to hear the bishop's news In groups of
two and three at fl time, thus evdinc
the drastic orders recently issued by
Mayor Baker closing all theaters,
churches and other public places of
meeting as a preventive against an
epidemic of Spanish influenza.
Other pastors of the city, unable to
wait until the day when the ban will
be lifjed, gave out short messages to
their people last evenirnr to serve in
stead of sermons from the pulpits this
morning.
"Most gladly. do the people of the
Wilbur church comply with the request
from governing bodies that shall r.iean
protection of health or the successful
culmination of the great war," said Dr.
Krancis Burgette Short, pastor of Wil
bur Methodist Church.
Rev. Joshua Stansfleld, pastor of the
First Methodist Church, took a lesa
enthusiastic view of the Kaiser's reply:
"While in the interest of the public
health and safety we are deprived this
day of the privilege of public worship
let us think of this not so. much as a
deprivation but rather as a glad and
w-llling war-time, sacrifice and serv
Ice let there be on this holy day de
votions, prayers and religious minis
t rations, in every heart and home. Re
member our boys on sea and land, in
cantonments and in the trenches. Pray
for our nation and allies and the hu
man freedom for which they fight. Re-,
joice for the victories of our armies.
Be not milled by cries of peace where
there is no peace by those who would
heal the hurts of my people slightly.
Strengthen the morale and purpose of
this AmeYican Nation and people for
a peace only in righteousness and the
complete demolition of the Prussian
programme. Let the day be also a
real day of rest in a complete recess
and cha-iQ- from the orderly work of
life by wholesome outings, recreations
and diversions. Let the day he spent
In a' way worthy of a free and Godly
people." 1
Rev. H. IT. Grlffis. pastor of the First
Christian Church, gives the following
message to his flock: "Iet us remem
ber that disease is. not the only thing
that is contagious. Hope, courage and
klndneps are contagious, and the com
munity's greatest asset Is the cltiaen
who spontaneously spreads the joy of
the his-her life."
Archhlxhop Christie announced that
Ihere would be no services in any of
the Calhoun churches of the city todsv.
All other churches will be closed, not
only for morning services, but for Sun-
