Germany's reply was officially de

POl'RTEEN PRINCIPLES
COXSTITITK SCItrtEXDEK
BY ROBERT BENDER.
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON". Oct. - 14. With
thaiusaflds of telegrams, pouring Into
the While House demanding uncon
ditional surrender, hope, was, openly
expressed in official circles today
that the President would refuse to ne
gotiate with the central empires wbt.e
the Hohenzollerns and Hupsourgs re
main In power. Meanwhile the
President has conferred with Lansing,
Baker and House regarding the repij
which all agreed must, oe forthcom
ing quickly. There is only one thing
the record of the Hohenzollerns al
ready to stay Wilson's hand in ac
cepting Germany's plea for action to
restore peace. Even this obstruction
may be waived by the President pro
vided a bond either of human hos
tages fof all the allies or some Ger-
ir.an territory, is given to insure Ger
many's keeping faith. If the Presi
dent finds he cannot talk business
with present German authorities, It
in believed he will clearly show the
German people how they may hasten
peace. To understand a rather
marked change in the atmosphere
' about the momentous situation since
the President's return to Washington,
one must remember three things:
First, the President ia essentially
man of peace; second, has on several
occasions promised he wouM harken
at any time to peace proffers if ?in-
cerely made, and, third, he ncHevcs
the acceptance of his i pe.ce prin-
oples tantamount to unconditional
surrender.
KusNia 7iicludiHl,
It is understood that this rorern-
ment holds that the agreement to
evacuate opposition territory Includes
Russia, Officials declare an armiMica
would be arranged entirely by Gen
erals Fnch, Hal?, Diux Allen by and
lushing.
Naturally because of Germany's In
vet era te duplicity hitherto there are
doubts regarding the enemy's good
faith now. This is reflected both in
consress and In the hundreds of tele
grams reaching the White House. ln
til the official text Is scruti nixed there
will be a suspicion that the German
government has flashed one version
mound the world for home ct-nstinip-tion
and another for Wilson. How
t cer this is Improbable.

France Would Break Power, V
PARIS, Oct. 14 .--France is unani
mously determined not to negotiate
with Germany until the latter's power
to do harm Is absolutely ended It is
semi officially announced.
It Is stated authoritatively to the
United Press that the German reply
is regarded in official circles as an
avowal of defeat for the kaiser's arm
ies but that it also shows strongly
Germany's desire to avoid tha conse
quences of defeat. This informant
declared the allies must not stop with
mere words to Germany. Germany
must be placed in a position where it
will be impossible for her to escape
punishment. If Germany's offer is ac
cepted, necessary military guarantees
must be taken to Insure that Germany
will be on table to strike back ft who
breaks her -word.

LOXDOX, Oct, 14. Britain ,' dis
trusts Germany's offer. The British"
probably will demand that Germany
disband her army before Focti relax
es vigilance in case an armistice Is
granted. It Is believed an armistice
without binding guarantees would be
most fatal policy. The man on the
street is asking, "How do we know
Germany is playing straight this time.
What guarantees have we this note
will not be a scrap of paper."
Military men are suspicious of Ger
many's self expressed surrender. ,
Believe Surrender Ih Trick.
WASHIXGTO.V, Oct. 14. Many
telegrams flatly disagreed with Mc
Adoo's statement that Germany's ac
ceptance of Wilson's 14 terms meant
unconditional surrender. The sentl-
fment expressed indicated a wide
j spread natWl , belief that Germany's
! acceptance is nothing more than a
i trick and that virtually complete
military surrender is the only basis
upon which any negotiation could be
j opened. These messages were believ-
jed rather contrary to the President's
first attitude which was Included to
sanction McAdoo's interpretation,
