Conceding that possibly the proposal for an armistice might be ac-
... eepted and that the German acceptance of President Wilson's peace
terms might be satisfactory, the question, in the opinion of officials

These Inquiries, the German gov

door to peace. The evacuation of In
vaded territory pending; declaration
of an armistice the answer accepts;
it says the terms of peace are accept

a "basis for negotiation,"! and declar

to peace, all the questions President
Wilson asked of Chanceller Maxi
milian In his inquiry which was sent

aote received here last Monday.
Ia this inquiry the president de
clared be would not propose an ar
mistice while troops of the central
powers remained on Invaded soil; he
asked whether Prince Maximilian ac
cepted the terms of peace as laid
dowa or merely wanted to discuss
them "as a basis for negotiation."
