PRESIDENT GETS INFORMATION AT N. Y. THEATER
; Large Audience Unconsciously Witnesses One of the Most Remarkable Diplomatic Dramas in History. As M inted I'r- Sorvlie: SllW YORK. Oct. 12. The text of. Germany's reply to Pres't Wilson's inuuiries was presented by .he Uvnni..iuH T ,v, r,rvl.l..rt ti. lieht nt the M et rnfin 1 if i Tl O'ifia liniisp n-hsi-t. Vi li:i.l irnn To .-it tend a concert for the benefit of blinded Italian .soldiers. Sec'y Tumulty said Mr. Wilson had not pxeiou-dy seen the text and that he would make no comment. The text reached New York only a short time before Mr. Wilson audi his party left the Waldorf Astoria to attend the concert at the Metropolitan for the benefit of blinded Italian soldiers. The natural assumption was that it previously hud been communicated to the president. As a measure of precaution, however, tlie Associated Press sent over its special wire to the opera hou.-e an inquiry to s,ec'y Tumulty as to whether Mr. Wilson had been informed of the German reply. Mr. Tumulty showed plainly his amazement and replied that Mr. rWilson had not seen the note and the secretary requested that the text be telegraphed to him at once. He announced, however, that the president could not indicate in the slightest degree what his answer would be until he had opportunity to study the otlicia! text. The reply was sent immediately to the box where the president was seated with Col. E. M. House, his close friend and trusted adviser. It was read with most interest. Soon thereafter Sec'y Tumulty disappeared and it was assumed he was in telephone communication with Sec'y ot State Lansing al Washington. Pres't Wilson. accompanied by Mrs. Wilson, Miss Margaret Wilson, Col. and Mrs. House. Count dl Gellere, the Italian ambassador, and Countess di C'cllcre, arrived at the Metropolitan shortly after S:.0j o'clock. They were escorted to the ; box of J. P. Morgan. Here tiie presi-; dent faced the stage and looked j down upon the audience. I Ah the party took their seats the: splendid orchestruTplayed the Star, Spangled Banner. Every person in the audience, ami the great auditorium was packed, rose ajid cheered tlie president. None realized, except j those in the president's party, thatj they w ere witnessing one of the mos t amazing diplomatic dramas ever enacted. Loxnox iiEAiis or note. LONDON. Oct. 1'. The reply of the German government to Pres't Wilson's note was forwarded to Washington at noon today. The text was made public here this evening. In brief Germany accepts the terms laid down by Pres't Wilson for the foundation of a permanent peace) of justice. It declares itself ready to comply with the president's proposals for the evacuation of occupied territory. It suggests that the president may occasion a meeting of mixed commission to make arrangements for the evacuation, and says that tho present government which has the support of the majority of the reich-j stag, has undertaken responsibility for this step toward peace.
