PRESIDENT'S ADROITNESS
(Australian and N.Z. Cable Association (Rec. Oct. 16, 8.45 a.m.) WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. President Wilson's frank and straightforward declaration was received with the greatest- demonstrations of satisfaction and relief by Congress, in diplomatic circles, and throughout- the country. ' It is significant that Mr Lansing made it clear that President Wilson's Note is a decision, not merely & lvply, and docs not permit further discussion. Therefore the war will be jn-essed w.ih the greatest vigour. until the enemy surrenders unconditionally. There is much comment on President Wilson's adroitness in countering the Gel-man move by pointing out that in accepting all the points and prill, ciples in his speeches since January, Germany had /practically agreed io "the destruction of every arbitrary power," thus Germany's autocrai-ic Government had signed its own death warrant.
