NEW YORK, Ort. 22. Germany Is
trying; to use her peace offensive to
entice America into protecting the
German nation against righteous re
tribution for her crimes against hu
manity. . By encouraging internation
al aentlmentallism among Americans,
Oerniany hopes to escape K ith some of
her loot while dividing democratic na
tions against , each . other. While
pleading pence with Justice. Germany
has not taken action against it mili
tarily. All nf the old gang retain their po
sltlona from Ilindenburg to the lowest
and hands are still dripping with ci
villaatiomv blood. War chiefs debate
every nota before It Is dispatched to
Wilson. Militarists carefully set every
possible trap concealed with -cunning
'words.' A1 Oermun chancellor Who
pleads for the salvation' of the hon
or of his people while denying the
cruelties of Germany's submarine
policy cannot be 'trusted. Having out
raged Belgium, defiled France, bomh
ed Britain's open towns and murder
ed American women on the high ses
the Germans believe false promises
will save them now, but their bloody
crimes have failed and they -cringe
before the least harmed of their Vic
tims, pleading thai their Interests b
safegunrded.
fil'AltAXTEE XECKKSAItV.
Their acceptance of conditions for
an armistice Is so phrased as to mean
anything or nothing. Promises of
constitutional reform have no pres
ent value. Maximilian as much en
trenched In his power as his prede
cessors. No peace treaty is worth
anything unless it Is , guaranteed by
the military power of America and the
allies, dictated by Foch, l'ershlng,
etc. Germany has forfeited the
world's trust. The penalty for that
Is unconditional surrender. other
wise .democracy will he betrayed at
triumph's hour.

CHAMPIONING OF
OPPRESSED RATIONS
MEETS APPROVAL
lOXPON. , Oct. 22. Newspapers
universally approve Wilson's Austrian
reply. His attitude Is generally prau
ed as championing oppressed nation
alities.
Tho Tost declares: "Germany
position Is unchanged. Unless she Is
d!f&rmeri we cannot afford to talk,
thus giving Germany the advantage
of an unscrupulous liar over an hon
est man."
The Mall says "The peurtle Incon
Mistent missive Is no reply at all. The
only way for Germany to prove her
sincerity is to surrender to Foch.
The ttritUh sealord declared In the
Telegraph. "The acceptance of evac
uation Is cloaked In the vaguest terms

The Kx press said: "It Is a nlggfrj

an armistice based on military stattiK
to enable the German armies to re
cuperate, instead of weakening
steadily, as would otherwise be Inev-

The News said. "The allies must
endorse Wilnon's program Immediate
ly to prevent Germany from driving a
wedKe between them."
The News is nnn-commlttal regard
ing the note, while pointing out the
necessities for guarantees.

UNOFFICIAL REPLY DECLARES
PEACEOFFERED BY GOVERNMENT
FREE FROM ARBITRARY RUL
The text of the German note as re
ceived by wireless, Is as follows:
"In accepting the 'proposal for an
evacuation of occupied territories, the
German government has started
from the assumption that the proced
ure of this evacuation and of the con
ditions of an armistice should be left
to the judgment of the military ad
visers and that the actual standard
of power on both sides In the field has
to form the basis for arrangements
safeguarding and guaranteeing this
standard.
Peaoe of Justice Oeslrod.
'The German government suggests
to the president that an opportunity
should be brought about for fixing the
details. It trusts that the president
of the United States will approve of
no demand which would be irrecon
cilable with honor of the German peo
ple and with opening a way to a peace
of justice.
"The German government protests
against the reproach of illegal and in
humane actions made against the
German land and sea forces and
thereby against the German people.
'For the covering of a retreat, de
structions will always be necessary
and they are carried, out insofar as is i
permitted by International law.
'The German troops are under
most strict instructions to spare pri
vate property and to exercise care
for the population to the best of their
ability' Where transgressions occur.
In spite of these instructive, the guil
ty are being punished.
"The German government further
denies that the German navy in sink
ing ships has ever purposely destroyed ,
lifeboats with their passengers. The j
German government proposes with)
regard to all those charges that the
facts be cleared up by neutral com
missions. r-iv.ts mid to iip xnuricd.
In order to avoid anything that;
might hamper the work of peace, the,
German government has caused or- '
ders to be dispatched to all submarine
commandera precluding the torpedo-;
Ing of passenaer ships without, how-j
ever, for technical reasons, being able
to Guarantee that, ihese ordars will,
reach every single submarine at sea j
before Us return. ,

t "As a fundamental condition for
peace the president preHcribes the de
struction of every arbitrary power
that can separately, secretly and of
Its own single choice disturb the peace
of the world. To this the German
government replies:
"Hitherto the representation of the

Government levlarcd tlianged.
"The const! tu lion does not provide
for a concurrence of representation of
the people In decinlons of peace and
war. These conditions have Just now
undergone a fundamental change. A
new government has been formed in
complete accordance with the wishes
principle of the representation of the;
people based on eciual, universal, se-
cref, direct franchise., n j
"The leaders of theEt"eat parties bf j
the Reichstag are members of this

Consent of People Irovldcd.
"The responsibility of the chancel
lor of the empire to the representation
of the people is being legally devel
oped and safeguarded.
"The first act of the new govern
ment has been to lay before the Reich
stag a bill to alter the constitution f
the empire so that the consent of the
representation of the people Is requir
ed for decision on war and peace.
"The perfanence of the new system
is, However,, guaranteed not only by
constitutional safeguards, but also by
the unshakeable determination of
the German people whose vast major
ity stands behind these reforms and
demand their energetic continuance.
Qoctttion IKv4rcd Answered.
"The Question nthe president, with
whom he and the governments asso
ciated against Germany are dealing. Is
therefore answered In a clear, unequl-'
vocal manner by he statement that
the Offer of peace and an armistice
has come from a ; Kovernment which
is free from anv arbitrary and irre
sponsible inf invitee. Is supported by
the approval of an!Vverwheimtng ma
