BULLETIN.
London, Oct. 15. The text of President Wilson's reply
to the German peace offer, received through press channels,
was placed in the hands of the members of the British gov
ernment early this morning. The council met shortly after
11 o'clock to consider the president's response.
The German autocracy must go,
u the heading placed over Presi
dent Wilson's reply to the German
peace note by the liberal Star,
which, like most of the liberal news
papers, considers this one of the
first conditions of peace with the
central powers.
A condition in the reply which
is given great display by the news
papers is that which asks for guar
afttees for the maintenance of the
present military supremacy of the
allied armies.
Satisfaction also fs expressed with
President Wilson's reference to the
continued sinkings by German sub
marines and the "wanton destruc
tion" in occupied territory, while
his decision that the conditions of
an armistice must be left to the
military advisers of the entente ap
pears to agree with the phrase so
often quoted in the newspapers dur
ing the last few days "leave it to
Foch."
Ends Armistice Talk.
Washington, Oct. IS. President
Wilson's reply to Germany, ending
talk of an armistice until the Ger
mans are ready to surrender and
finally closing the door to peace ne-
-gotiations with kaiserism. was on
the cables today, if it actually had
not arrived at Berne. Only a few
hours should Ik required for its de-
. livery at Berlin through the Swiss
foreign office.
The feeling is apparent in Wash
ington that the atmosphere is clear
er than before Prince Maximilian
came forward with his peace drive;
that the purposes of the United
States and the allies are more than
ever, clearly stated and that the
powers in Berlin and the German
people now must see the futility of
further attempts to avert defeat by
comoromise.
Turkey Out Soon. .
So far the president has dealt only
. with the proposal of the German
government, leaving unanswered
v similar pleas for peace from Austria-Hungary
and Turkey. There is
no, indication mai inesc aiucs 01
Germany will hear from him until
the dominant factor in the e .al
alliance makes another move, unless
one or both of them in the mean
time should plead an; v, seeking

' ondon. Oct. 15. Dispatches
from Holland indicate there is a
probability of another turn-over
in the German chancellorship. The
Benin national zeitung prints a
report of a discussion, by an inter
prrty committee, of the letter
Prince Maximilian wrote to Prince
Alexander of Hohenlohe, which
showed a markedly different atti
tude in political affairs from ' that
proposed ir his Reichstag address,
The committee, according to the
newspapeer, recognized that the sit
uation rendered Prince Maximil
ian's retention in office doubtful.
The fact that rumors are current in
certain circles in Berlin that Prince
Maximilian's retirement is inevit
able also is reported in the National
Zeitung.
Rotterdam reports to the Tele
graph that Prince Maximilian's
probable successor will be Dr. W
S. Solf. the new foreien minister, or
Philipp Scheidemann, secretary of
state without portfolio. The cor
respondent attributes this develop
ment to the "imminent abdication
of the kaiser," which, he says, the
kaiser wished to announce two
months ago, but was dissuaded
by the empress and others.
The text of the letter referred to
above showed that Prince Maximil
iam was reactionary in his political
attitude and that he was at that
time, January 12. 1918. a firm sup
porter of the German royal family.

near Cambrai, it is pointed out, the
Germans rapidly fell back to their
third defenses, but the (strategical
reasons for their continued resist
ance in the open at that part of
the sector is not to be compared to
those in front of the Americans.
Added evidence has been secured
that, instead of reducing his oppo
sition, the German eommander is
continuing to bring up fresh divi
sions and to throw them after those
already broken by the Americans.
Gen. Von Der Marwitz explained
to his command in his order that
the Americans were about to at
tack on the Verdun front "to try
to push toward Longuyon."
"The object of this attack," the
order continues, "is to cut the Lon-guyon-Sedan
line."
Eagle of Sea to Break
Power of Teuton Dragon
Washington, Oct 15. American
shipbuilders were called upon by
Secretary Daniels today to speed up
their output of destroyers to meet
the menace of the new and greater
submarine effort which Germany
is known to be planning.
The secretary began a series of
conferences with representatives of
the buildersJMost of the plants
are working now nearly to capacity
on destroyers, but arrangements
will be made to lay down as many
additional .vessels as possible.
Secretary Daniels also let it be
known today that successful trials
of Eagle No. 1, the new submarine
fighter and chaser, have been held,
with results in every way better
than had been' anticipated. In speed
the h-agle boat was said to be the
equal in every respect of the de
stroyer of a few years ago and to
excel it in seagoing qualities. Pro
duction, which has been contingent
upon trials, now will proceed, and
Mr. Daniels indicated that the Ford
plant, building the Eagles, will
reach the peak of its schedule early
next year. :

A Renpcrmtivi diet In influents. Rorlkk'i
jutM wu, vtry oifiuu-Aai
London, Oct. 15. Andrew Bonar
Law, government spokesman in the
House of Commons, made the an
nouncement in Parliament today
that it would be very, unwise for
any of the allied governments to
make any statement on the terms to
be imposed on Germany before an
armistice was granted.
Winston Spencer Churchill, Brit
ish minister of munitions, in a
speech at Manchester today said
that President Wilson's stern and
formidable answer to Germany is
wholeheartedly endorsed by all the
allied countries. The answer, Mr.
Churchill declared, has tended to
prolong the conflict, but there
would be no relaxation of the allied
war efforts.
The London evening newspaper
comment on President Wilson's re
ply to Germany is generally favor
able in tone. The Standard says
that the note "has removed certain
false impressions" but regrets that
the president did not refer to pun
ishment for U-boat crimes and the
burning of towns.
TheVall Mall Ga7tte says Presi
dent Wilson's replf "reaches his
highest standards of point and
promptness."
"Foch. Haig and Pershing," the
Globe asserts, "will determine in
concert the guarantees they must
have in mind before granting a ces
sation of hostilities."
On the question of an armistice,
the Manchester Guardian suggests
as security the temporary occupa
tion of Essen, the evacuation of the
whole of Alsace-Lorraine and the
surrender of the German U-boat
fleet.
Reply Pleasing to French.
Paris, Oct. 15. President Wil
son's reply to Germany was given
to the public in extra editions of the
afternoon papers published at noon
today. It immediately became the
absorbing topic of discussion in all
public places. The tone of the sen
timent was distinctly favorable to
the reply, the prevailing ndte being
cne of jubilation.
The president's firm position
against an armistice without guar
antees particularly appealed to pre
vailing French opinion.
Germans In Dismay.
Washington, Oct 15. Swiss dis
patches today say the German
newspapers are now showing a con
fusion equal to that which they
showed in the interval between the
proposal of Prince Maximilian and
President Wilson's message of in
quiry. Some of them are quoted as
follows:
The Frankfort Zeitung: "Evident
ly if the negotiations cannot be car
ried out we can still turn back to
arms and in desperate combats de
fend German territory, but we must
have no illusions in this respect. At
the most important time of her his
tory Germany feels the lack of that
very energetic military help, which,
according to ancient beliefs, stands
for right. However terrible this dis
illusion may be for the German peo
ple, brought up among military dis
play, humanity will benefit by it if
President Wilson is albe to estab
lish a real and true justice."
The Norgan Poste: "The army
high command believes too that the
continuation of war in the present
circumstances will bring no good re
sults." The Neue Landes Zeitung, organ
of the chancellor's party: "President
Wilson and the entente are mistaken
if they think that war was not made
with the whole German people in
agreement"
250,000 Refugees Trying
To Escape Into Holland
Washington, Oct. 15. Two hun
dred and fifty thousand refugees are
making their way from Lille, Rou
baix and other Belgian towns near
the front lines to the Dutch frontier
in an endeavor to escape into Hol
land. Messages received today by
the commission for relief in Belgium
said arrangements had been made
for food, clothing and shelter upon
their arrival at the frontier.
Should the Germans in retreating
from Belgium seize the internal food
supply, consisting of crops now
ready for harvest and the few re
maining dairy cattle, the situation,
the message said, would be serious.
To meet such a possibility, the re
lief commission has shipped 180,-
000 tons of foodstuffs to Rotterdam
in the last month.
Germans Do Not Plan
for Complete Surrender
Amsterdam, Oct 15. The Co
logne Gazette of Saturday, refer
ring to the suggested evacuation of
German occupied territories, gives
testimony as to what such action
means to Germany. The newspa
per says:
- Vhat are Siegfried positions and
towns and villages? The main
thing is that the German front
maintain continuity. Even though
confiding in President Wilson s love
of peace, we consent to the evacua
tion of occupied regions then our
battle-prepared army, our intact
fleet and our strong nation at home
guarantee that the German people
cannot be forced into unconditional
surrender.
Italians Capture
Albanian Port
of
Durazzo From Huns
Washington, Oct 15. Capture
of the Albanian port of Durazzo
by Italian and British naval forces
was reported today in an official
dispatch from Rome. The city
was occupied and many prisoners
and quantities of war supplies
taken. .
The message also told of fur
ther advances by the Italian
columns driving the enemy out
'of Albania and the occupation -of '
$vral important point.
Washington, Oct. 15. Even be
fore President Wilson's decision
bad been announced, rumors were
current of the probable retirement
of Prince Maximilian, and these
were followed by reports that
Scheidemann might take his place
as chancellor. Such a development
would be regarded as important on
ly as an index to the leaven work
ing in Germany. It was made very
clear again today that President
Wilson's opinion is that it matters
little who is the German chancellor
so long as the chancellor and the
government are answerable to the
kaiser.
Some observers here think the
Germans will make any sacrifice
rather than go through another
winter of war at or within their
borders, and that the next move
in I erlin may come more quickly
than is generally expected.
Military officials here, however,
are almost unitedly of the opinion
that Germany has not yet been
brought to the point where it will
seek an armistice on the terms laid
down. On the contrary, they think
the military elements stilt in control
will hold up the president's com
munication to the German people
as proof of their contention that
their enemies are determined to
bring about destruction of the na
tion and do not desire any peace
short of that Then they will con
tinue the retreat of their armies on
the western front in the hope that
an early winter will find them be
hind shorter and very much more
powerful lines of defense, close to
the German border, but still on its
enemy's soil.
The supreme war council in
Paris has considered the program
to be followed when the time does
come for cessation of hostilities It
also is said to have been consider
ing plans for dealing with the Bal
kan provinces, the Russian border
states and Finland in the event Ger
many should undertake to evacuate
those territories. Ample precau
tions will be taken' to guard against!
an outbreak df bolshevism and
anarchy. ' x

from the important railway junction

the line Wervicq-Menin-Courtrai,
which probably will be only a mat
ter of a few hours, the jGerman sit
uation at Lille will be njost perilous
and that at Ghen not much better.
The French capture of Roulers is
a serious loss to the Germans. Al
though the Belgian railway system
is dense enough to provide alterna
tive routes to a certain extent the
allied entrance into Roulers on the
first day of the offensive is bound to
affect the German communication
system most unfavorably.
Summing up the situation on the
British front the Echo de Paris says
that Douai virtually has been taken,
that Valenciennes is threatened and
Denan only a few kilometers dis

losses in Champagne the Petit
Parisien quotes the evidence1 of an
enemy prisoner who said that the
406th infantry regiment while engag
ed in battle on October 1 was deci
mated. The companies in two bat
talions, according to the prisoner
were reduced to 30 men and two
other supporting battalions suffered
heavily from artillery and airplanes.
Despite these losses the prisoner
said the regiment was ordered to
counter-attack.

The Grand Pre-Vouviers road in

(Continued from Page. One.)
Germans entrenched behind wire en
tanglements.
To the east of the Meuse the line
moved forward to Sivry and Mag
enta farm, but just to the west of
the river little advance was regis
tered. Less effort was made there
because the problem was to
straighten the line further west
where it joins that of the French
near Grandpre.
It is at Romagne that the Kreim
hille positions swing in a northwest
erly direction , and (here the forces
of General von Gallwitz fought vali
antly to hold back the Americans.
New guards divisions were brought
up at that part of the line and evry
device of the Teutonic fighting ma
chine was used to smash the pres
sure. Except for a brief period in the
latter part of the day, when the
visibility slightly improved, it was
a battle without adequate observa
tion for either side. Clouds with
out a break covered the field
throughout the day and during
much of the time a drizzling rain
was falling.
Ravines Filled With Gas.
This condition, coupled with a
lack of wind made the time for gas
attacks almost ideal and the Ger
mans took full advantage of the
v-eather. Every wooded ravine
through which the Americans
moved was a flood of lethal and
mustard gases, supplemented with
a liberal fire of high explosive
shrapnel.
In front of their barbed wire de
fenses, however, the Germans be
trayed an unusual nervousness. In
stead of the ordinary well controlled
artillery fire their batteries explod
ed in a barrage of fire on the slight
est excuse. Instead of these bar
rages covering any counter offen
sive they were nothing more than a
defensive move and they were laid
down at the least indication of ac
tivity on the part of their assail
ants.
One of the most stubbornly held
positions was in the Chatillon wood,
which covered the high hill south
of Romagne. The Americans
worked their way around the sides
of this great natural obstacle form
ing one of the most imporant links
in the Knemhilde line.
Time and again they were thrown
back until late in the day. Then,
covered by their own artillery, they
were able to gain its summit and to
dominate the country beyond. Pa
trols are now well in the woods.
Approximately 1,000 prisoners were
sent back.

Washington, Oct. 15. It was
Field" Marshal von Hindenburg him
self and not the supposedly pacifist
premier, Prince Maximilian, who
caused the German government to
accept President Wilson's peace
terms and seek an armistice, accord
ing to advices which reached Wash
ington today through official sources
by way of a neutral country.
According to this version. Von
Hindenburg. knowing the desperate
condition of the German arn.y, him-
selt, better than any civilian, and
especially that fact that there is now
no supply of raw material to re
plenish the exhausted stocks of mu
nitions of war, insisted upon the ap
plication for an armistice. Prince
Maximilian is said to have Vesisted
strongly, disclosing himself in the
light of a true conservative and
autocrat, mly to be overruled by
the majority of the war council, at
which were present the heads of the
German states. This is pointed to
as the explanation of why the Ger
man note '.n response to President
Wilson's inquiries were signed by
Dr. Solf. the minister for foreign
affairs, although the prince had in
itiated the correspondence.
From the same source is cabled
a prediction that the German de
fensive can not be continued without
a debacle for more than three
months at the outside. This state
ment, from a well-informed neutral
source regarded as semi-official, is
based upon belief that a great revo
lution is impending in Germany, the
majority of the people being deter
mined to have peace at any price.

Washington, Oct 15. A stamp
tax of 2 cents on all bank checks is
provided for in an amendment to the
war revenue bill adopted by the sen
ate finance committee, which is re
vising the house draft.
The amendment was adopted by a
vote of eight to six. Such a tax is
opposed by Treasury department of
ficials and many senators because it
not only would be a serious incon
venience to business but would tend
to discourage thrift and encourage
hording. The amount of revenue
from such a tax would be small, in
the opinion of experts.
