I . (Special to The Guardian) iWASH.IN`G’I`ON, Oct. 15.-Presid- ent Wilson today answered Germany’s peace proffer with a note declaring mow that there can be no peace with a German Government controlled hy a military autocracy and no thought gave notice that autocracy must go be- fore llnal peace can come. When the The procuring of nurses for work time to consider an armlstlce comes. .the President said. the military ab- visers of the United States and the Allies ‘will be consulted un tl no mill- tary advantage of the armies fighting ot an armlstice while German atro- cities continue on land and sea.He alsi the Central Powers will be lost. WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-President Wilson has answer- ed-Germany's peace proposal with decision which not only ful- fills tlie expectations of the supporters of his diplomacy but also dispels the fear of those who predicts that he would sub- stitute victories at arms with defeats at diplomacy. No peace with Kai-scrism autocracy must go. No armistiee can ever be thought of while .Germany continues her atrocities on land and sea. No armistice can be considered unless fully dictated by the Allied commanders in the field in -such . It' ;it does not hr- ing capitulation which may be more than unconditional sur- render all the diplomats and American otlicials believe it may cause revoluttion in Germany is beyond question, it speaks for the Entente Allies as well as the United -States. _______.__._._- WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-President Wilson 's answer to Germany is as follows:-Sir: in reply to the commiuiiention of the German Government dated the 12th instant, which you handed to me today, I have the honor to request you to trans- mit the following answer, unqualified acceptance hy the pres- ent German Government and by a. large nnijority oi' the Reich- stag of the terms laid down by the President of the United Stat es of America in hi_s address to the Congress of the United States on thc 8th of January, 1918 and in hismukiug n frank and direct statement of his decision with regard to the com- munications ol' the German G-overnincnt oi' the 8th and 12th of October, 1918. It must be clearly understood that the pro- cess of evacuation and the conditions of armistice ure matters which must be left to the judgment and advice ot' the military advisers of the Government of the United States and the Alli- ed Governments and the President feels it its his duty to say th-at no arrangement can be accepted hy the Government. of thc United States which does not provide absolutely sutiei`ac-- tory safeguards and guarantees ol' maintenance of the present supremacy of the armies of the United States and Allies i-u the Field. He feels confident that he can safely assume that nothing but this will also be the judgment and decision oi' the Allied Governments. The President feels that it is also his duty to add that neither the Government_ of the United States nor he is quite sure the ‘Governments with which the Govern- ment of the United States is associaetd as will consent to consider an -armistficc so long as the armed forces of Gerniuny continue illegal and inhumane pra- ctices, which they _ still persist. Every time that the German Government approaches the .Government of the United States with proposals of peace, its submarines are engaged in sinking passenger ships at sea and not ships alone but the very boats in which their passengers and crews seek to ina'ke their w-ay to safety and in their present i`oreed willi- druwal from Flanders and France, the German armies are pur- pursuing n course of wanton destruction which has always been regarded as a violation of the rules and practices of civ-' ilized wlarfare. Cities and villages il' not destroyed are being stripped not only of all they contain but often of their very Inhabitants. Nations associated against Ger- many cannot be expected t.o agree to the cessation of arms while acts of inhnmanity, spoilation and desolatioii are being continued which they justly look upon with horror and with burning hearts. It is necessary also in order that there may be no possibility of a misunderstanding that the President should very solemnly call the attention ,of the Government of Germany to the language and pluinintent of one of the terms 9f_ peace which the German Government has now accepted. It is contained in an address ol' thc President delivered at Mount Vernon on the fourth of July lust, it is as follows. The des- _tfllction of every arbitrary power anywhere that can separat- ely,--secretly and of its single choice, disturlied the eace of the _W'0rld,"or 'if it cannot be presently destroyed, tat -iieast its re- duction to virtual impotency, the power which has hithc-rtlo controlled the German nation is oi' the sort here described. It ls within the choice of the German Nation to alter its Presid- ent’s words just quoted. They naturally constiitute a condition Prccedent to peace. If peace is to come by the action of German P%0ple themselves. The President feels bound tosay that the ._Wh<_>le process of peace will in his judgment depend upon the wdofimtcness and satisfactory character of the guarantee which can be given in this fundamental matter. It is indespensable nntlthat -tile Governments Associate and 'Germany should _“_ D_A_ Mckmnon sammy *DOW beyond peradventure with whom they are dealing. Th 'President will make a separate reply to the Royal and Imperi- :alGoveiullneBn_t ofAust1ga-Hungary. f . - ` -irrsnewe ra . fl'l 'I i' . no xmnsin "BSU “C99 0 fn) llgl C0l`lH|(_0l'f\ 10|] BUARD ill HEALlH .
