PULLAR & NIVEN HAISERISM MUST GO WILSON DEGLARES Armistice Problem for Military Advisors, He Tells Germany. Washinton, Oct. 15.—President Wilson's decision regarding the Ger- man government's armistice . and peace overtures was sent'to Betlin last night. It is accepted here as mean- ing that the war will be pressed with the greatest vigor until the Central Powers surrender to the terms laid down by the president as a condition precedent to the restoration of peace. The president makes it plain that there can be no armistice so long as the armed forces of Germany con- tinue barbarities in violation of’ hu- manity and the laws of civilized war- fare. When an armistice is granted to the enemy, it will be on conditions made by General Foch and the mil- itary advisers of the American and Allied governments. This means that here will be no cessation of the con- lict until Generals Foch, Pershing, Petain, Haig and Diaz say the word, and that both evacuation and armis- tice will be hedged about by terms Imposed by these military leaders, to whose judgment all questions relat- ing to those matters will be left. But the most striking thing in the president’s ‘*decision” is his insist- nce that there will be no peace un- til the arbitrary power that has been lodged in the hands of Willlam II. and those associated with him as con- stituted authorities, responsible for this war and its conduct on the Ger man side, has been destroved or re- luced to virtual impotence. The reply handed to the follows Swiss charge “sir: “In reply to the communication of the German government, dated the 12th inst.,, which you handed me to- jay, T have the hongr to request you o transmit the following answe .“The unqualified acceptance by the German government and by 2 lo majority of the German Reichstag of the terms laid down by the president of the United States of America in his address to the con- gress of the United States on the 8th of January, 1918 and in his subse- quent addr justifies the president making a frank and direct state- ment of his decision with regard to {he communications of the German government of the Sth and 12th of October, 1918. “It must be clearly understood that the process of evacuation and the conditions of an armistice are mat- ters which must be left to the judg- ment and advice of the military ad- visers of the government of the United States and the Allied govern- ments, and the president feels it his duty to say that no arrangement can e ed by the government of the United States which does not provide \bsolutely s safeguards and guarantees of the maintenance of the present militdry supremacy of th armies of the United States and of the Allies in the field. He feels con- fident that he can safely assume that will also be the judgment and de- cision of the Allied governments. “The president feels that it is also his duty to add that neither the gov- ernment of the United States nor, he < quite sure, the governments with which the government of the United States is associated as a Dbelligerent will consent to consider an’ armistice present In accept sfactory arnfed forces of Ger- the illegal and inhu- mane practices which they persist in. At the very time that the German government approaches the govern- ment of the United States with pro- posals of peace, its submarines are engaged in sinking passenger ships at sea, and not the ships alone, but the very boats in which their pas- sengers and crews seek to make their way to safety; and in thelr present inforced withdrawal from Flanders and France the German armies are | pursuing a course of wanton 'de- struction which has always been re- garded as in direct violation of the rules and practices of civilized war- | fare. Citles and villages, if not de- stroyed, are being stripped of all they contain not only, but often of their ! very inhabitants. The nations asso- clated against Germany cannot be ex- pected to agree to a cessation of arms | while acts of inhumanity, spoliation, and desolation are being continued which they j ly look upon with horror and with burning hearts. so long as the many continue “It is necessary also, in order that | there may be no possibility of misun- derstanding, that the president should very solemnly call the attention of the government of Germany to the language and plain intent of one of the terms of peace which the German government has now accepted. It is contained in the address of the pres- ident delivered at Mount Vernon on | the ¥ourth of July last. It is as fol- lows: ““The destruction of every arbitrary power anywhere that can separatel secretly, and of its single choice dis- | turb the peace of the world; or, if it cannot be presently destroyed at least its reduction to virtual impo- tency.’ “The power which Tas hitherto controlled the German nation is of the sort here described. It is within the cholce of the German nation to alter it. The president’s words, just auoted, naturally constitute a condi- tion precedent to pea peace is to come by the action of the German people themselv The president feels bound sdy that the whole process of peace will, in his judg- ment, depend upon the definiteness and the satisfactory character of the | guarantees which can be given in this fundamental matter.
