Wilson's Reply Puts
Bankers in Panic
London, Oct. 16.—President Wil
son's reply to the German peace note
produced "a most unfavorable im
pression" in Berlin, says a Central
News dispatch from Amsterdam to
day. The publication of the reply, it
adds, was followed by a panic in Ber
lin banking circles, and on the stock
exchange.
The German supreme command, 4 he
advices state, will com® to Berlin at
the end of the present week "to de
liberate on mobilization, concentra
tion of the national strength and the
