HOLLOWNESS OF GERMAN PEACE SENTIMENT REVEALED
ARMISTICE BEFORE EVACUATION THE POPULAR CRY. INCREASED SUBMARINE ACTIVITY FORESHADOWED. 'Router. (Received 7.40 p.m.) AMSTERDAM, Oct. IS. The German press comments on the reply to Mr. Wilson reveal how wide is the gulf between the belligerents, despite Germany's avowed agreement with Mr. Wilson's terms. The essence of the newspaper comment is "armistice first, evacuation afterwards." The papers foreshadow lengthy pourparlers, after which, if unsuccessful from the German viewpoint, Germany will not be defenceless even after evacuation. The statement that Germany is preparing for an intensified submarine campaign is confirmed by various announcements in Germany. For instance, the Essen Gazette assures its readers that the submarine campaign will reach its climax during the winter, and produce an economic crisis in the allied countries of unexpected dimensions. Captain Perseus, writing in the Tageblatt, speaks of the impending great increase in submarines, to which Germany may confidently look should the Allies refuse peace.
