WILSON REJECTS ANY PEACE WITH GERMAN KAISER.

righfed he meant thnt Alsace-Lorraine should .be returned to France. A separate reply to Asutrla-Hnn-gary Is being drafted by the president, and this answer is likely to affect vitally the situation in the dual monarchy, which appears to be on the verge of dissolution or desertion of Germany or of both. The president having taken so firm a stand against compromise with Germany, the administration proclaimed a prosecution of the war to victory with redoubled vigor. 250,000 Men a Month. “The government will continue to sent over 250,000 men, with their supplies every month, and there will be no relaxation of any kind,” Mr. Tumulty, secretary of the president, said. Secretary of War Baker, who returned from France, said: “The war department is pressing forward as rapidly as it can the augmentation of the army and its supply. We are going a{)ead.” % Incidentally Secretary Baker disclosed that President Wilson himself is one of the four members of the suDreine war council .which .is directing

The president votes by cable when the war council la sitting at Versailles. Wilson's Answer to Note. The text of the president’s answer follows: “The unqualified acceptance by the present German government and by a large majority of the reicnstag of the terms laid down by the president of the United Suites of America In his address to the congress United States t»n the Bth of January, 1918, and In his subsequent addresses justifies the f president, in making a frank and dirbdt statement of his decision with regard to the communications of the German government of the Bth and 12th’ of October, 1918. “It must be clearly understood that the process of evacuation and the conditions of an armistice are matters which must be left to the judgment and advice of the military advisers of the government of the United States and the allied governments, and the president feels it his duty to say that no arrangement can be accepted by the government of the [Jnlted States which does not provide absolutely satisfactory safeguards and guarantees of the maintenance of the present military supremacy of the angles of the United States and the allies in the field. Huns Must End Crimes.

“He feels confident that he can safqly assume that this will also be the judgment and decision of the allied governments. “The president feels that It Is also his duty to add that neither the government of the United States nor, he Is quite sure, the- governments with which the government of the United States Is associated as a belligerent, will consent to consider an armistice so long as the armed forces of Germany continue the Jllegal and inhumane practices which they still persist in. , “At the very time that the German government approaches the government of the United States with proposals of peace its submarines are engaged In sinking passenger ships at dfca, and not the ships alone, but the very bouts In which their passengers the crews seek to make their may to safety; and In their present enforced withdrawal from Flanders and France the German armies' are pursuing a course of wanton destruction which has always been regarded as In direct violation of the rules and practices of civilized warfare. “Cities and villages, If not destroyed, ore being stripped of all they contain, not only, but very often of their very inhabitants. . “uujq nations associated against Ger-

maffy cannot be expected to agree cessation of arms while acts of lnh*> manlty, spoliation and desolation *l* being continued which they justly loo|| upon with horror and with burning hearts. “It is necessary, also in order th*t there may be no possibility of mlswto derstandlng that the president shoulf very solemnly call the attention of tig government of Germany to the lans guage (tnd plain Intent of one of th* terms of peace which the German gov* ernment has now accepted. It Is con* tained In the address of the president delivered at Mount Vernon on the Fourth of July last. Must End Atrocities. “It is as follows: ‘The destruction of every arbitrary power anywhere that can separately, secretly and of It* single choice disturb the peace of the world; or, if it cannot be presently destroyed, at least its reduction to virtual Impotency,’ continue on land and sea.” "The power which has hitherto controlled the German nation Is o? the sort here described. It Is within the choice of the German nation to alter lt> The president's words just quoted naturally constitute a condition precedent to peace. If peace Is to come by the action of the German people themselves. “The president feels bound to say that the whole process of peace will. In his judgment, depend upon the defInltenesn and the satisfactory character of the guarantees which can be given In this fundamental matter. “It Is Indispensable that the governments associated against Germany should know beyond a peradventur* with whom they are dealing. , “The president will make a separat* reply to the royal and. Imperial government of Austria-Hungary. “Accept, sir, the renewed assurance* of my high consideration. (Signed) “ROBERT LANSING." “MR.
