WASHINGTON,—No armistice ex-

No peace with the kaiser and his

Thua President Wilson has given in
advance his own final decision in in-
forming the new spokesmen of Ger-
many that he has acceded to their re-
quest that he Uke up with the alllea
their plea for an armlatlce and peace
negotiations.
Assurancea of the preeent authori-
ties at Berlin that they repreaent the
German people, that they accept the
conditions of peace he has laid down,
and that the German armed forcea on
land or sea will observe the rules of
civilised warfare are accepted by the
preaident only as changing the altua-
tion sufficiently to warrant him in
formally submitting the questions in-
volved to the nations with which the
United States is associated in the war.
In doing thia, without mincing worda,
he tells theee authorities, and through
them, the German people, that the
only acceptable guarantee of their
words must be submisaion to terms of
an armistice that will make It Impos-
sible for Germany to renew hoetili-
tles; that the kaiaer still holds the
power to control the empire aad that
until he and his autocrats are out,
surrender and not peace negotiations
muat be demanded.
While this ultimatum is sinking
home in Germany the allied govern-
ments will be preparing for the next
move, which lies with them, acting in
harmony with the United States. PI ret
there Is to be determined, as tke presi-
dent asks, whether the allies are wil-

Fifth: Occupation of all Oermaa

The provisions of the armistice
