a eje WITHDRAWAL IS NECESSARY FOR ¢ PEACE HEARING [By Anaocinted Press.] WASHINGTON,, Oct. 7.—A decisive reply to y’s latest peace p is indi- cated by developments. Presi- dent Wilson cancelled all his| engagements and remained se-| cluded in his study at work. Prince Maximilian’s note was re- ceived during the night at the Swiss Jegation, where arrangements. were made to deliver it immediately. Minister Ekengren presented the note from Baron Burian, Austro- Hungarian foreign minister, to Secre- tary of State Lansing at 10:30 this morning. The Austrian communica- tion is substantially similar to. tha | from Germany and both ask Presi-| dent Wilson to arrange an armistice and for peace negotiations on condi-| tions previously laid down by the president, It is said that neither of the offi cial texts differs materially from the version published in press dispatches No Roundtable Talks Proposed Official announcement of the at- titude of the United States govern- ment is still withheld but there is no abatement of the indication that if Germany seeks a “negotiation” lead- ing to roundtable conferences and diplomatic quibblings,. the offer will fall flat. If Germany actualy accepts, with- * out reservation, the principles of peace as repeatedly laid down by the president and accepted by all the co- belligerents, the way is open to peace, with the withdrawal of all Ger- man troops from invaded territory as the first requirement. Unconditional © ~~ Surrender,-T; LONDON, “Get, “7=BubuE” of Germany's peace intentions are re- flected here in peace comment. “In Maximilian’s speech,” says the Daily Mail, “there is not a word of re- pentance for the crimes Germany has committed. We did not allow Bul- garia to tell us what to do. We in- tend to act precisely in the same way with Germany and Austria. If the German people wish to know what) suarantees President Wilson and the| Allies require, they may be embodied in two words ‘unconditional surren-| der!” WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—Discuss- ing Germany’s peace offer in the} Senate, Senator Hitchcock, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, | today declared “absolutely abhor-} rent” even a thought of a suspension of hostilities now, and recommended, in addition to principles previously laid down by the President as a basis for peace, one provding that the Al- lies would deal only with real repre- sentatives of the German people. | Republican Leader Lodge, ranking} minority member of the Foreign Re-| lations Committee, declared that an armistice “would mean the loss of the war and all we have fought for,” Germany now merely proposes a long debate on the basis of peace. The only course, Lodge declared, is to se- cure complete military victory and force Germany to sue for peace, LONDON, Oct. 7.—No armistice ; will be granted the Central pow-| ers before complete evacuation by | them of all Allied territory, with a cessation of destruction and the burn-/| ing of Allied cities. This is the per- sonal opinion of foreign diplomats of the highest rank here, who were ques- tioned concerning the peace speech of Prince Maximilan.

Some authorities believe that he| might tell the Tentons that negotia- tions.coulfi be instituted if, Germany | clewréd her armies from occupied ter- ritory, if she laid down arms, if, in short, she completely surrendered, not meaning a breathing spell armis- tice. But there is no sign that Germany is ready to accept a loser’s peace. On the contrary, Prince Maximilian in his reichstag speech attempted to deceive the world that Germany has had a change of heart and is planning democratic reforms. Army men point out that victory is probable next year. They say it would be the greatest tragedy of all time were the Allies now to wipe the tlute clean after sacrificing hundreds of thousands of lives. “This would \leave Germany intact, not contrite. | The old militarist clique would still | be in the saddle and might attempt in the next generation to inflict its gluttonous desire for world domina- tion ‘upon its neighbors.

The enemy was caught between General Berthelot’s army on the west and General Gouraud’s forcs on the east, amd is re- ‘tiring northward toward the Retourne river. It may be possible for him to stand back of that stream but it seems improbable that there will be much of a halt in the retreat until the Germans reach the Aisne.

The French found Nogent- Lbassee and Suippe valley hes aflame. Sallauminex and other villages southeast and west of Lille are also burning. The Allied armies are making their own answer to Germany’s peace: drive by attacking furiously everywhere in an effort to throw the Germans into confusion and turn the retire- ment into disaster. Meanwhile the Allies are advancing in Serbia and Albania. They defeated Austro-German reinforcements in central Serbia and cap- tured Vranje. Serbians occupied Debra in Albania.
