"PR 205 W 141 Transocean Press Nr. 2204 second official twenty seventh. German reply to note of United States of October the twenty third reads as follows, 'The German Government has taken cognisance of the reply of the President of the United States. The President is familiar with the profound changes which have taken and are taking place in the German constitutional life. The peace negotiations are to be conducted by a Democratic government in whose hands full and decisive powers are resting in effect as well as by constitutional right. This government also controls the military authorities. The German government is now looking forward to the proposals of an armistice to inaugurate a peace of justice, as outlined by the President in his addresses.
