8 .THE ,' OREGON8 DAILY JOURNAL, , PORTLAND WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER .23. , 1918 DECISION REACHED i . I. BY- PRESIDENT ON BERLIN'S ANSWER important Exchanges Between Al j J lies and America Followed ;by ;Coriference at Washington. NO NEGOTIATIONS EXPECTED Whether Direct Reply Is to Be Sent Is Not Known; Official Txt Does Not Bring Changes. By Fraaa H. almond would enUr Into no negotiation with Germany, but whether ho would send a direct reply to tho not or would con ', tsnt himself with a reiteration of his ciifiBal decision, was not known. - Jfo Official Isfornstloa Moat" off Iclala close-to the White House and state department inclined to the belief that a reply would be ent which would emphasise the original de cision that Germany actually must make htr fovtrnmcnt rtspons'vs to the people InsXead of promising to do so, actually stop all outrages on land and ?ea, In stead of promising to do so. and actually 'Withdraw .from all occupied territory in the east aa well as in the west, before ' asking for a military armistice. But nothing official was forthcoming other than the simple statement that as noon as tt was possible to do so the policy to e followed would bo defined. Tho White House conference lasted j , for nearly an hour. After General March j I ana secretary uanieia icii. ui presi dent and Secretary Lansing remained together for nearly an hour longer. On leaving, Mr. Lansing said that he had nothing for publication at the present time. He took with him to the preesl dent the official copy of the German peace note, which had been compared power on both sides In the field has to form the basis tor arrangement safe guarding i and guaranteeing -this 'Stand ard." i - - f . , . ; . t ' - This would indicate; according lo mili tary men, that Hlndenburg . and Luden dorff would like to trade, or attempt to trade, with Poch. Trading at this stage of i the game, they say, is out of the question. Meantime. ; it is up - to the United States and tho allies to continue fighting and to, keep a "stiff upper lip," to take an expression used la an official quarter today. - - . --4 ::, t- y-.:- The enemy , is beaten and knows It, 1 Is pointed! out Each succeeding peace note from Germany contains more con cessions than its predecessor,. and shows tho strength of the peace movement In Germany. ; . s-f . ' - y - Kach sncceeding message from the president shows no recession from his original demands, which are tantamount to unconditional surrender, and his every word means . an. Increased desire for peace on the part of the German people. In the last analysis, the German people are the only ones with whom a peace can be arranged, and if they so sincerely de sire 'it,- they,, first, must produce a valid claim, according to tho views of officials and diplomats. - - . - A composite vlewc of the manner In which tho French press received the Ger man note was received in an official dis patch this afternoon. . It . ia summed up s follows r" '-;f r I- Germany answered 'with words when she ha asked, for ideals.. She makes use of artifices and' "ambiguity , f speech. She would, through the use of artifices of procedure, manage' to keep' from' ad mitting; tho. military "superiority: of the allies and gain time, but she dares not put an end Jo the conversation, and this expUlh the humble tone of her note. :3 Wilson "Alone to Speak v London, Oct, zaWU.

Just before 10 o'clock. A copy, was at once sent, to the White House Then the official text was turned over to the state department translators tq . compare It with the unofficial note sent .out from the German station at Nauen. Germany, which has been la the hands of this government since Saturday. Officials said that It was Impossible ! i lust now to say when the plan of ' ( action of the president would be ' re- ! I vealed. It all depended upon the com- ' I munlcatlons being exchanged by the ; l state department and the European chancellories. mm preaiasm was in conrerence Tues- i day afternoon with members of his cab-' inet for more than two hours, at which ! time the outline of his plan of acUon on '' the not was fully discussed. j Germaay Regarded TJstrnstworthy Germany has promised much In her present message, but all of her former promises; rt Is recalled, have been worth leas. This country, therefore, should not asailme that words and phrases made In Germany are worthy of friendly consid eration. For that matter, however, the country has already made up Its mind to the contrary, and so have the allied nations. Judging by the comments from their officials and in their newspapers. Another thing which must be borne in mind. It was said. Is the ambiguous phraseology of the present note.? One word may cover a multitude of Teuton sin ) and yet appear Innocent. . One sen-U tence may have been -written with the purpose of .conveying an Idea other than that meant by Its Writer. In this connection a Question has j arisen as to Germany's meaning with i regard to the conditions of an armistice.
