GERMANY MAKES
REPLY TO WILSON
Answer Appears to Be An
Awkward Attempt to Ac
cept Terms.
Washington.—Germany has replied
to President Wilson with a note which
Ie regarded here as an awkward at
tempt to accept the terms for an ar
mistice laid down by the president.
It makes the significant declaration
that the government in Berlin no long
er is responsible* to a single arbitrary
influence—the kaiser—but is support
ed by an overwhelming majority of the
German people.
Text of German Note.
In accepting the proposal tor an
evacuation of occupied territories, the
German government has started from
the assumption that the procedure of
this evacuation and of the conditions
of an armistice should be left to the
Judgment of the military advisers 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.
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.
Tbe German government protests
arainst the reproach of illegal and in
humane actions ma le against the Ger
man 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
permitted by international law.
The German troops are under most
strict Instructions to spare private
property and to exercise care for the
population to the best of their ability.
Where transgressions occur, in spite
of these instructions, the guilty are
being punished.
The German government further de
nies that the German navy in sinking
ships has ever purposely destroyed
lifeboats with their passengers. The
German government proposes with re
gard to all those charges that the facts
be cleared up by neutral commissions.
In order to avoid anything that
might hamper the work of peace, the
German government has caused orders
to be dispatched to all submarine com
manders precluding the torpedoing of
passenger ships without, however, for
technical reasons, being able to guar
antee that these orders will reach
every single submarine at sea before
its return.
As a fundamental condition for
peace the president prescribes 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
people In the German empire has not
been endowed with an Influence of the
formation of the government.
The. constitution does not provide
for a concurrence of representation of
the people in decisions 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 equal, universal, ae
eret, direct franchise,
The leaders of the great parties of
tbe Reichstag are members of this
government. In the future no govern
ment can take or continue in office
without possessing tbe confidence of
a majority of the Reichstag.
The responsibility of the chancellor
of the empire to the representation of
the people is being legally developed
and safeguarded.
The first act of the new government
has been to lay before the Reichstag
a bill to alter the constitution of the
empire so that the consent of the rep
resentation of the people Is required
tor decision on war and peace.
The permanence of the new system
Is. however, guaranteed not only by
constitutional safeguards, but also by
tbe unshakable determination of the
German people, whose vast majority
stands behind these reforms and de
stand their energetic continuance.
The question of the president, with
whom be and the governments asso
dated against Germany are dealing,
is therefore answered in a clear, un
equivocal manner by the statement
that the offer of peace and an armis
tice has come from a government
vaich is free from any arbitrary and
Irresponsible Influence, to supported
by the approval of an overwhelming
majority of the German people.
