WASHINGTON, D. C., OCT. 12=-ln her reply to the
note sent by President Wilson this week, Germany ac
cepts the peace terms enumerated by the American ex
ecutive in his address on January 8th. and in his subse=
quent addresses.
The text of the German reply, which was received here tonight, says
that the responsibility for this step toward peace was formed by the con
ference of the rulers of the sovereign federal German states held at Ber
lin for the purpose of considering President Wilson’s reply. The note is
in agreement with the great majority of the reichstag.
NOTE:—America’s peace terms as
laid down by President Wdson be
fore a joint session Congress on
January h, 1918, are as follows:
1. Open covenants of peace, open
ly arrived at, after which there shall
be no private internationl under
standings of any kind, but diplomacy
shall proceed always frankly and
in the public view.
2. Absolute freedom of navigation
upon the seas, outside territorial
waters, alike in peace and in war.
except as the seas may be closed
in whole or in part by international
action for the enforcement of inter
national covenants.
d. The removal, so far as pos
sible, of all economic barriers anc
‘the establishment of an equality of
trade conditions among all the na
tions consenting to the peace anc
associating themselves for its main
tenance.
4. Adequate guarantees given anc
taken that national armaments wil
be reduced to the lowest points con
' sistent with domestic safety.
f>. A free, open minded, and ab
soltuely impartial adjustment of al
colonial claims, based upon a stric-1
observance of the principle that ir
determining all such questions oi
1 sovereignty the interests of the pop
i ulations concerned must have equa
! weight with the equitable claims o:
| the government whose title is to be
1 determined.
: G. The evacuation of all Russiar
territory and such a settlement ol
all questions affecting Russia as wil
. secure the best and freest co-opera
tion of the other nations of the
i world in obtaining for her an un
hampered and unembarrassed oppor
• tunity for the independent deter
mination of her own political de
velopment and national policy ant
assure her of a sincere v;elcome inti
the society of free nations undei
institutions of her own choosing
! and, more than a welcome assistance
, also of every kind she may neec
and may herself desire. The treat
ment accorded Russia by her sistei
nations in the months to come wil
be the acid test of their good will
of their comprehension of her need:
as distinguished from their own in
terests and of their intelligent an<
unselfish sympathy.
7. Belgium, the whole world wil
agree, must be evacuated and restor
j ed without any attempt to limit th<
sovereignty which she enjoys in com
mon with all other free nations. Nh
other single act will serve as thi:
j will serve to restore confidence
among the nations in the laws whicl
they have themselves set and deter
mined for the government of thei:
‘relations with one another. Withou
1 this healing act the whole structure '
and validity of international law is
, forever impaired.
8. All French territory should be
freed and the invaded portion re
stored, and the wrong done to France
by Prussia in 1871 in the matter of
Alsace-Lorraine, which has unsettled
I the peace of the world for nearly
fifty years, should be righted, in or- ,
der that peace may once more be
made secure in the interest of all.
{). A readjustment of the frontiers
I of Italy should he effected along
1 clearly recognizable lines of nation
ality.
j 10. The peoples of Austria-Hun
gary, whose place among the na
1 tions we wish to see safeguarded and
assured, should be accorded the
. freest opportunity of autonomous ;
development.
11. Rumania, Serbia and Monte-'
‘ negro should be evacuated, occupied
i territories restored. Serbia accorded .
free and secure access to the sea;
j and the relations of the several Bal-.
■, kan states to one another determined \
by friendly counsel along historically;
i established lines of allegiance and
! j nationality; and international guar-j
antees of the political and economic
i i independarice and territorial integ- !
rity of the several Balkan states1
■ should be entered into.
‘ 12. The Turkish portions of the
I
present Ottoman empire should lie
assured a secure sovereignty, hut the
other nationalities which arc now
under Turkish rule should bo as
sured undoubted security of life and :
an absolutely unmolested opportunity
of autonomous development, and th*
Dardanelles should be permanently
opened as a free passage to the ship-1
and commerce of all nations undei !
international guarantees.
13. An independent Polish state
should be erected which should in
clude the territories inhabited by in
disputably Polish populations, which
should be assured a free and secure
access to the sea, and whose poli
tical and economic independence and
territorial integrity should be guar
anteed by international covenant.
14. A general association of na
tions must be formed under specific
covenants for the purpose of afford
ing mutual guarantees of political
independence and territorial integ
rity to great and small states alike.
