THE PEACE MOVE.

SUBMARINE WARFARE NOT TO BE STOPPED.

AMERICA DISTRUSTFUL OF GERMAN PROMISES.

COPENHAGEN, Oct. 19. The Politikem statels that Germany's reply to President Wilson contains a refusal to stop submarine warfare until an agreement is reached upon the armistice proposal.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Af&n. AMSTERDAM, Oct. 19. It is expected that Germany's reply to President Wilson will contain further concessions, leaving (the way open for a continuance of negotiations.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Association.

NEW YORK, Oct. 18. America is expectantly and eagerly awaiting the arrival of the German re^ ply to President Wilson. The concrete opinion of the people and newspapers is against anything except Germany's unconditional surrender. There is also the strongest disposition on the part of the newspapers to disregard Germany's promises to political reform. The New York Times refers to Germany's constitutional amendments as "paper democracy," and adds: "The amendments are only springes to catch woodcocks."

The New York Times also wants the removal of the. .whole of the Hohenzollern dynasty, and says it makes no difference which Hohenzollern is on the throne. The HohenzoUerns have made Europe an unpleasant place to live in for more than 150 years. Berlin must give up the idea of appeasing the Allies by a Kaisensm which will contin © the Hohenzollern traditions. We do not want the Hohenzollerns. old, young, or infatitile.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
