UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER WITHOUT THE NAME
Germany has accepted the 'terms laid down by President Wilson
in his address of January ighth and in his subsequent addresses.
This means unconditional surrcikler, without the nanw.
Also, (iermany is willing to evacuate all occupied territory ev
erywhere. More than thai, she is willing to have President Wilson
appoint a mixed commission to make the arrangemeuts for the evac
uation AND THERE IS NO DEMAND THAT ANY UERMAN
OR AUSTRIAN BE ON THIS COMMISSION.
In other words, Germany throws up her hands.
She acknowledges that she is defeated.
She wants peace, on the terms of the Allies, as laid down by
President Wilson. J 1 i
Also, Dr. W. S. Solfj the nwly appointed Foreign Minister,

represented by' a majority off the Reichstag, and of the German
people. ; . i . -

And to the ilohenzollern gang! And to the Junkers?
If this reply does represent the, will of the German people, and
it can be shown that they have power to speak for themselves," there
can be no question that it will lead
world peace very soon. 1

Ing. Mr. McAdoo told the audience
the text of the reply and added:
'What thl government demands,
based on lWaident Wilkin's meages
and speeches. Is unconditional sur-
render, and If the text of thl reply
is authentic, it means Just that,
' before telling the audience ! about
the German note, Mr, McAdoo said
of the first German note i week Ago;
"Germany didn't send Its note to
any one except the United;. tates.
Why? Hecaue tho president of the
United-States has . formulated the
principles of a permanent peace.
, "Germany knows that when the
aceepts the president's conditions
I am not talking terms but conditions
principles when she is off the
soil of every Inveded land, it. means
unconditional surrender. j
"What Is unconditional surrender?
It fcv when. the fellow you are fight

say Konxht to take. i I"
"The kaiser might at well surren
der now. He Isn't deluded now-. He
did think at one time that Arterlca
wouldn't get Into the war, bat he
knows better now." " 1 !
At this point the secretary alluded
to The Associated Pres dispatch,
briefly outlining the reported j Ger
man terms. Then, after statins that
he hope t the tacjrsage would prove
authentic, he added: ; : I
"I'll not discuss terms now.! Even
if It la true that the kaiser hai sur
rendered, that doesn't make it the
less Important that this loan be sub
scribed. It has to be. because we
spent most of the money before we
asked for It. ; j
"It Is the highest patriotism the
highest act of love and honor, for
us to bring back In triumph those
men who made peace possible, i
"Do you realise that two million
boys my son and yonr son are
over In France? When peace comes,
don't we want our boys back just as
quickly as we can get them? It wHl
cost Just as much to get them back
as It took to' send them over there.
"Peace or no peace, tho fourth
liberty loan goea over. i
"It the kaiser says: 'I am willing
to evacuate and to accept your con
ditions.' that-Is to surrender, er I
don't know what Is. The , Mint I

willingness to accept all the terms
be previously had enunclatad and to
evacuate all occupied territory came
as a complete surprise. The way In
which the wireless dispatch of such
tremendous import sent out from the
German station at Nauen was' made
public. shattered all diplomatic pre
cedents.
" The text reached Ke Yorir only
a short time before Mr. Wilson and
his party left the Waldorf Astoria to
attend the concert at the Metropoli
tan for the benefit of blinded Italian
soldiers. The natural assumption
was that it previously had been com
municated to the president. As a
measure of precaution, however.
The Associated Press s-nt over its
peclar wlre tc the; opera house an
Inquiry to Secretary "fumulty as tq
whether Mr. Wilson had been in
formed or the German reply.
Mr. Tumulty showed plainly hi
amaxement and replied th.it Mr. Wil
son had not sn the noe ar.d the
secretary requested that the text be
telegraphed to him at once. He an
nounced, however, thit the prts'den'.
could not indicate in the slightest
degree what his answer would be un
til he had oppeormnity to study the
official text.
The reply was sent Immediately
to the box where the president ras
seated with Colonel E. M. House, bH
close friend and trusted adviser. It
was read with nrt Intense Interest.
Soon thereafter Secretary Tumulty
disappeared and W was assumed he
was in telephone communication with
Secretary Lansing.
President Wilson, accompanied -by
Mrs. Wilson, Miss Margaret Wilson.

Tfcey were escorted to the box of J.
P. Morgan. Here the president faced
the stage and looked down upon the
audience.
As the party took their seats the
splendid orchestra played the Star
Spangled Banner. Every person In
the audience, and the great audi
toilnm was packed, rose and cheered
the president.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12. Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, chairman of

the present, to avoid such over

health danger and make every effort
to reduce the home crowding to a
