NO PEACE WITH KAISER OR WAR LORDS
6,000 PRISONERS TAKEN IN NEW ZIG-ZAG ATTACK ON HUNS
LAST SEPARATE
WILSON PUTS SITUATION BEFORE
ALLIED GOVERNMENTS
Washington, Oct. 24—No armistice
except under conditions of surrender
no peace with the Kaiser or his war
lords, now or later. Thus President
Wilson has given in advance his own
final decision in forming the spoken
men for Germany that he has acceded
to their request that he take up with
the Allies their plea for an armistice
and peace negotiations. S
While the .President’s u'timatum is
sinking home in Germany, the Allied
governments will be preparing for
the next move which lies with them
acting in harmony with the United
States.
One point emphasized today is that
the President and the United States
are now through with separate deal
ings with the German authorities. The
whole situation ‘s now before the co
bell_igerent Governments.
British Cahinet Meets
London, Oct. 24.—The Zritish cabi

To Supreme War - Council
Washington, Oct. 24— Discussion
centered here today on the probable
terms of an afmistice which may be
formulated by the Allied and Ameri
can military advisors. It was general
ly assumed by army officers that Pres
ident Wilson has already ascertained
the willingness of the Allied Govern
ments to submilt the matter to their

Military opinion here is that Wilson
has expressed the basic idea upon

WILSON WOULD DEMAND SUR
RENDER UNLESS PEOPLE RULE
l Washingten, Oct. 24— President
‘Wilson in acceding to Germany’s re
’quest that he transmit its plea for an
larmistice and peace to the Allies, has
informed Berlin that there can be no
armistice that will leave a pcssibility
for a renewal of Hhostilities by Ger
many; that then unless the German
!people are assured of a genuine con
stitutional standing as the real rulers
‘t,hc United States must demand not
Ipoace negotiations, but surrender.
The President’s reply was handed
lm the Swiss..charge last night just
eleven hours after the official text of
’the German note was received and now
is on the way to Berlin. Undoubtedly
lit was framed in full accord with
ithe views of the Allied Governments.
l The decision of America's co-belli
'gerents is a waited with scarrcely less
}.interest than is the effect of the note
jon the German people.
t,' In the view of military observers
lhere, terms which might be consider
ied for an armistice that would insure
'thc Associated Governments unrastrict
led power to enforce peace upon con-
Mlitions accepted by Germany, would
!include_ the occupation of strategic
points in Germany, the demoblization
‘of the German armies, the turning
!over of the German navy and the re
'moval of the means of equipping her
!mi]itary and naval forces.
which an immediate armistice can be
reached. Terms to render German mil
itary power on land and sea absolute
ly impotent must be worked out by
the Supreme War Council. The ma
chinery for the formulation of terms
already exists in military and naval
boards of the war council at Ver
‘sailles.
