NEWS IN THE STATES.
NEW YORK, Oct.. 14— The an
nouncement in the special editions of
the newspapers throughout the coun
try early last Saturday night that
‘‘Germany had accepted the peace
terms of Wilson,” was received wit!
mingled ch'-ers and jeers of distrust.
In many cities parados were held an i
large gatherings assemble*l hut all
*vere short lived. Instantly there am?
doubts- that there was mischief in the
air, that Gel-many was doing this a*
. blind, that the Hun propaganda to
•rev* nt the Fourth Liberty Loan be- j
mg raised was the real motive, and
hundreds of other reasons were quick
advanced and the people settle i
!own to think.
Even President Wilson doubted ihrt
real meaning of the text and cabled J
In* American Commander, Maj. Gen.
Pershing to ‘‘Keep going.”
Th»* newspaper offices Saturday
dght and ail day yesterday were the
•ent* r of attractions but no bulletin*1
were issued as no official reports a.
o the text were given out and the
ext was not announced until aft*
midnight, after the crowds had gou.
| tome.
Practically all papers throughout
the United States contained <*ditor
;ills in the issues this morning o^* to;
German note. It appears that distrust,
s written in every editorial.
The Washington Post says: *'Nr.
•>eac*e conference while G°rman\ hold
the sword.”
The New York World says: “TV*
Orman offer to surrender is withou*
security for compliance with promts
es.”
The Philadelphia newspapers all
agree that when the P.)th of Octohc
'•oils around, Germany will say, *‘tb»
conditions an; impossible. We will con
•tinue fighting.”
Then the newspapers says, the pub
lie must start again to raise the Four
'll Liberty Loan.
Chicago ncwspajiers regard the tex,
>f the note as “nothing” as on editoi
remarks . <4W!io is it signed by? 1h«
Foreign Secretary has never been re
cognized before and why now?”
Southern newspapers see all kind.*
of technicalties. One paper says that
the note is only another “scrap of p«
per.”
Minneapolis and St. Paul papers
see a loop hole for escape in the text
where it states that the majority o'
the Reichstag agreed to it.
<4As a matter of fact, says two news
-papers, the Reichstag is a mighty
small potato in this transaction. There
is a higher house, the one whose meni
hers are nominated by the Kaiser,
composed of the militarists, nobility,
landowners and the aristocracy, fherc
is a third house, small in membe-shig
hut also important. The Reichstag
agreement is only a foil.”
WILSON TO ACT QUICKLY.
WASHINGTON,Oct., 14— It is be
lieved that President Wilson will act
quickly. It is positively thought that
he is not considering: for a moment
any armistice except upon condition:
amounting: to unconditional surrender
land the garrisoning: of Germany with
Allied troops. It is assumed that the
