stage singe where he might have accepted a surrender r of the German military an and naval nan forces and amI left the autocracy rac racy on its throne Mr lr Vilson Wilson according to tu this view has now finally finay informed tI the e eGerman German people that if they want peace pence they can cnn only attain it by getting gettin rid of the kaiser and 1111 his system An A 11 armistice it is true might come first and ami the details of the downfall of the German autocratic government gO might be arrange arranged later Conditions Entailed for Possible Armistice But this is what an armistice would entail First First-A A stop to the atrocities on land and sea sen and the systematic destruction and devastation de in the thc wake of the retreating G German armies Second The Second The disarmament of all nIl the German forces nn and the deposit of their arms and munitions at points to be chosen by t the e allied military militar commanders Third Third The The occupation by allied forces of certain German cities or or- strongholds of strategic importance Probably also the occupation of all the submarine submarino bases a u turning over 1 of the thc German fleet In short it would entail a n taking from Germany of everything c with which she might ht break rak her word to an armistice From that point the United States and the allies might proceed to dispose dispose dis

makes it plain he hc does not accept the new German government go headed by Chancellor as ni less autocratic anything less a creature of or German ut militarism than its predecessors and warns the German people that unless t they he destroy it the allied ai armies ics will do O so One Ono of the most important points of tins his note j. j is that iu in which lie acknowledges the tho present
