The president feels hound to say with regard to the suggestion of an armistice that he would not feel at liberty to propose a cessation of arms to the governments with which the government of the United States Is associated against the central powers so long a the armies of those powers ore 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 territory. The president also feels that he Is Justified In asking whether the ehnneellor 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. Ini-lierl-nl nl The German Proposal. The communication from the German government to the president of the United States as transmitted by the charge d'affaires A. I. of Switzerland, on ctober 6, wns as follows : The German government requests the president of the United States of America to take steps for the restoration of iieuce, to notify all belligerents of this request, and to Invite them to delegate plenipotentiaries for the purpose of taking up negotiations. The German government accepts as a bnsls for the peace negotiations the program laid down hy the president of the United States In his message to congress on Jnnunry 8, 1918, and In his subsequent pronouncements, particularly In his address of September 27, 1918. In order to avoid further bloodshed, the German government request to tiring about the Immediate conclusion of n general armistice on land, on wuter and In the air. MAX, Prince of Baden, Imperial Chancellor. Diplomacy of President. Among diplomats here the presidents communication I regarded ns one of his master strokes. It is pointed out that, upon cursory examination, It may not show such strong terms as some nmy have desired. All the presidents advisers, however, nre confident that as close consideration reveals Its full Import, It will be apparent that It Is n long step forward If Germany really mean peace, and that tf she does not It will strip bare another hyproerlsy of German diplomacy so completely that the responsir bility for prolonging the never can he charged to the allies, even by the German people themselves. Berlin On Anxious SeaL Copenhagen, Berlin, according to all dispatches from the German capital, Is waiting excitedly for President Wilsons reply to the peace offer.
