NO PEACE WITHOUT SURRENDER

(Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) Received October 15, 10.20 a.m. NEW YORK, October li. The New York Times, commenting on the Note, says:—"No armistice can be granted to Germany on the terms she proposes, which would permit her to withdraw in safety her armies and war material to shorter lines of defence. An incalculable military advantage would accrue to Germany from the cessation of arms at this time. Surrender, not an armistice, must be precedent to any talk about peace. Let Germany give guarantees that bv the withdrawal from occupied territory she means disarmament and confession of defeat: let her give up Metz and Strassburg. her navy and her submarines into the keeping of the United States and the Allies. No peace can be made with the Hohenzollerns, and there can be no armistice without surrender." GENERAL PAU'S VIEWS. NO ARMISTICE POSSIBLE. BEFORE ENEMY EVACUATION. (United Press Association.) Received October 15, 10.35 am MELBOURNE, Oct. 15. Referring to the peace terms, General Pan said rm armistice was possible which did not include the prior condition of evacuation of the invaded territory and Alsace-Lorraine. The enemy must cede to the Allies the left bank of the Rhine, and let them hold the bridges across. In addition, she must cede temporarily as a guarantee the port of Hamburg.
