President Wilson now, however."having submitted the question to the Allies, definite concerted action will be taken and naval and military terma will be recon- mended by the respective Governments.

HARMONY ON THE PEACE QUESTION.

In the House of Commons, Lord Robert Cecil stated that harmony existed between the United States and other associated governments as regards the war nima.

NO MORE INDIVIDUAL ACTION.

WASHINGTON, October 25th.

It is emphasised in official and diploma tie circles that President Wilson's Note means that the United States has finished with separate dealings with the German authorities.

Future announcements will be of the, United States and the Allied Governments acting in concert.

GERMAN DEMANDS THEN AND NOW,

LONDON, October 24th.. Sir Edward Carson, speaking at Oxford, drew attention to the fact, that Germany's minimum demands when she thought she way " top dog," included the surrender of Malta, Gibraltar," the Suez Canal, etc. He heartily concurred in President Wilson's Note

Continuing, he said: To-day our armistice terms must be equivalent to Ger- many's terras of 1870 when replying to a request for an armistice, she agreed pro- viding all the German guns were placed advantagequaly, round Paris so that the city could be taken at pleasure. Anything less now would involve disaster.

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, MONDAY, OCTOBER 28TE, 1018.

AN KVASIVE AND TRICKY PEOPLE,

The Daily Telegraph isye that Bro sident Wilson uses language that has become necessary in dealing with a prople who insist on being evasive and; tricky in treating with a plain issue. Germany now know what an armistice means to the American Government. She will next hear what an armistice means to the Allies unless she chooses to abandon tha peace campaign forthwith.

THE ONLY WAY.

The Daily Express says that only by the surrender or destruction of arms, warships and munition factories can a rengival of bostilities be made impossible. These are the extraordinary safeguards which President Wilson implies."

PRESIDENT 'WILHON'S LAST WORD. The Times says that President Wilson's last word should close the correspondence with the enemy. It reveals the closs agreenient of the American and British views,

The chance that the Germans may ask for an armistice necessitates the Allied naval and military authorities being rendy with terms: bence it is satisfactory to know that. Sir Douglas Haig and and military staffs in London last week Admiral Beatty conferred with the naval and Colonel House has arrived in France, where Marshal Foch is in close touch with the American and Allied com manders.

DERMAN PRACE OFFENSIVE HAS ENDED. The Daily Mail says: We do not imagine that autocracy will surrender immediately; but the peace offensive has ended with President Wilson's masterly exposure of its insincerity,

SEPARATE PEACE FOR HUNGARY IMPOSSIBLE. !

AMSTERDAM, October 23th. A message from Budapest reports that in the Lower House the Premier, Dr. Wekerle, stated that Count Karolyi'a demand for a separate peace Fas in possible as the Germans were protecting the danger points of the Hungariad frontiers. The Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister was framing a reply to President Wilson.

BRITISH PRESS COMMENT.

LONDON, October 25th. The newspapers hail President. Wilson's Note as embodying the intentions of ail the Allied peoples.

GERMAN PEOPLE MUST DECIDE. The Daily Chronicle says that Germany desires to participate in peace conference German action must be represented by a Government controlled. by the people, not the Kaiser. Otherwise the conference will deliberate and decids without them.

If the German answer accepts Presid ent Wilson's principles, the Allied naval and military forces will immediately announce terms; but if the German Gov ernment preaches a war of defence there can be no advantage in, furnishing them with texts by detailing terms.”

ALLIES WILL NOT RELAX TARIH TERMS. The Daily News says the sincerity of Germany's desire for peace is brought to the final test. If the accepts President Wilson's terms 6ghting may end in less than a week. Otherwise it may be pro-. tracted to next summer.

It is idle for Germany to hope that the Allies will relax their terms in prefer ence to facing a prolongation of the struggle On the contrary, they are more likely to stiffen.

President. Wilson, on behalf of the Allies, offers Germany a way of escape; but it now rests with the Allies to smooth the path to peace by unequivo cally formulating terms,
