London, Oct. 21.—The German re- President Wilson is regarded here as ‘“not business, but mere argu- ment and protestation”. In govern- ment, diplomatic and political cir- the view is that it is not a reply, simply o resort to verbiage. One placed officiffiaffil dffiesffiffifid v placed official described it as “badly camouflaged insincerity.” Henry M. Hyndman, leader of the ish socialists, said: This reply is simply of shuffling.

The German repl son was eagerly d cussed in official circles and in parlia- ment. Among deputies of all shades of opinion, the impression was, first of all, that the reply betrayed more than previous communications the state of depression and the demorali- 1tion of the German people as the result of the Allies’ victories. As a whole, the note is found to be cquivoeal and tortuous and platitud- inously phrased as to leave the door for all sorts of quibbling. No- | where is there evidence in the reply of a genuine desire to accept the only way in which peace can be conclud- ed, according to expression of opin- jons here. On the contrary all that is apparent is the urgent desire of the German general staff to get an armis tice at any price in order to re-or- ganize its rescrves of men and ma- terial. Therefore, it is generally be- the reply is not likely to be considered at Washington. The Figaro says the men who com- bined to write the reply to President Wilson “translated the anguish, dis powerless anger of the people in whose name they pretend to speak.” The Matin say “Our adversar ceive himsell b against all evidence and hopes to suc- in deluding Wilson by euph and eguivocations.” Journal says the the Allies and Wilson a forn will seeks still to de- lulling himself ceed isn The divide President that “nothin the honor of what an avowal de Thomasson says: note is proof that the German mund considers the situation grave, but not vet note seeks to to draw from declaration the German of defeat in the people, 1t el Petit to but 11 high comn of armies most desperat | evacuation of ed contrary | ¢ ‘The German ernment again is (Continued on Ninth Page) Diplomatic stpatches Say Men in Power in Berlin Will Dethrone Emperor and War Lords; Troops on Leave Reported to Have Been Ordered Not to Return to Front 22 Ge cable Swiss Washington, Oct. —The official of many's latest note to President Wilson was received by today at thef Swiss legation.

It was learned today that a private dispatch from Germany: has been published in a Copenhagen newspaper, stating that the: troops on leave are receiving secret orders not to return to th front and that to this extent demobilization has begun.
