Atrocities will be denied energetically The hour is at hand, the letter will con tinue, to stay the bloodshed and per mit Europe to heal her wounds with a bountiful peace. "Germany will offer, through Pre- sident Wilson, to evacuate the invad- ed departments of France and all of Belgium except Anjwerp, and to ne- gotiate with Great Btiain regarding the possession of Antwerp. Poland will be declared autonomous, the in- vaded provinces of Russia will be re stored, and Serbia's independence will be guaranteed. "On the other hand, the 'freedom of the seas' is to be guaranteed and special privileges are to be granted to German commerce.
