Wilson Reply to Germany Pleases Nation Democratic War Ainmis Maintained and the Way Left Open standing with us. Again, the presi- dent plays up to the democratic ele- ments in Germany and Austria by.his’ inquiry as to just who is asking peace, a point that may do much to win away. this democratic support from the junker or imperialist class of the enemy countries. The following is the full text of the president’s reply through the Swiss legation: “Sir—I have the honof to acknowl- edge, on behalf of the president, your note of October 6, inclosing the com- munication from the German govern- ment to the president, and I am in- structed by the president to .request ‘‘associated against the central powers, so long as the armies of those powers ~.are upon their soil. -The good faith of any discussion would manifestly depend upon the consent of the central powers immediately to withdraw their forces everywhere from invaded terri- tory. “The pre51dent also feels that he is justified in asking whether the im- perial chancellor is speaking merely for the constituted authorities of the empire who have so far conducted the war. He deems the answer to these questions vital from _every point. of view. = ADVERTISEMENTS flongSflERMAN IMPERIAL TIRES GUARANTEED 4,000 nm.ns We intend to sell them DIRECT to YOU only thru the NONPARTISAN DER.

Also it makes some recommendations as to remedies for the market evils beyond those suggested by the commission, on the ground that the commission was laying down a permanent policy whereas certain special war measures are now necessary. It especially de- mands now an “effective regulation of the packers’ entire business in- stead of only a portion.” The follow- ing is the full text of the memorial: TO - THE ' PRESIDENT -OF THE UNITED ‘STATES, TO CONGRESS AND TO THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION : The livestock producers of this nation, in a lpirit of loyal service, wish to give their ut- efforts to assist our government in winning this war. The most practieal service which we believe they can render is to produce an adequate supply of meat animals for the military and civilian needs of ourselves and allies, and to aid in opening the channels of distribution so ‘as tc free the industry com- pletely from practices which have encouraged the growth of momopoly and special privilege.
