of German barbed wire entangle
ments, fastened from tree to tree
at various heights had to be bridged
as it was impossible to cut them.
In addition, many roads in the Ar
gonne were of black loam which
became a morass in rainy weather.
The engineers were compelled to
vi; u- lly build bridges over many
miles rf these roads.
Positions Well Fortified.
The crossing of Forges Brook was
accomplished in the first day of the
advance under a heavy fire. The
brook runs through marshy lands
and in order to bridge it, the en
gineers had to lay bundles of fag
gots on both sides of the strea 11.
The crossing was made in record
time. '
Compilations made by army offi
cers show that of more than 165
srfuare miles taken from the enemy
since September 26 almost one-half
were heavily wooded and machine
gun infested. The Americans had
to take by storm 159 hills and high
crests, most of which were heavily
wooded and defended by strong ma
chine gun detachments. Of the hills,
141 were west of the Meuse and 18
east of the river. vThe Germans
also had to be driven from 430 ra
vines, all defended by machine guns
and nearly as hard to take as the
hills.
General Pershing's men had to
advance against the pick of the Ger
rran army fighting desperately to
hold this important front. Their
difficulties are understood more eas-
ijy when the number of hills, woods
and ravines they have had to take
in considered.
BULLETIN.
Washington, Oct. 27. The Amer
can second army, under Major
- General Bullard, is holding the
. line in the Woevre. This was
disclosed by General Pershing in
his communique for today, re
: . ceived tonight at the War depart
ment. Repulse of heavy German
counter-attacks on the front
northwest of Verdun by Major
General Liggett'rfirst army also
were reported.
By Associated Press.
With the American Army North
west of Verdun, Oct. 27. Almost
complete quiet reigned over the
'American front northwest of Vcr
dun today. Not a single infantry
action of any importance took
.place ami there was a minimum
. even of patrolling on both sides.
The artillery, which from the Ger
man side w,as mildly active-on the
American right during the night,
ceased before daylight and was
heard only intermittently in the lat
fer hours.
Aviators Spend Quiet Day.
Despite sunshine throughout the
day the visibility was so poor the
aviators could accomplish little. The
-American fliers encountered few of
the eneniy.
The advance on trie extreme
American left into bourgoune
vwoods yesterday and the taking of
the hanikt 'of frournay was ot first
"importance, because it makes an ex
tension of the American lines, up
'the narrow valley, bringing the
.''''.northeasterly curving line into the
"woods.. This puts the Americans
almost behind the troublesome and
Costly Bellejoyeuse farm, which
"has been bitterly contested, having
been won and lost several times in
the last few days.
Enemy Positions Strong.
T Natural positions for defense held
131 the Germans north q the Ameri
can line are probably as strong as
;any , along the entire battlefront,
from Switzerland to the sea. These
positions, which the Americans are
Jiow facing, are especially strong,
.Vowing t the thickly wooded dis-
4ricts and series of hills and ridges.
Taking advantage of these natural
military positioi the Germans have
thrown in strong forces of mem an
"brought up immense quantities of
artillery of various caliber, deter
mined to hold what is called the
eastern pivot of their defense line
Sh France at any cost. j
J; From Grand Pre pass where
'there has been fierce fighting for
pearly two weeks the Americans
face, the Bois De Bourgoune, and
Jiols de Bas, which really are a
" continuation of the Argonne for
est. Back of these great woods
is the Fort De Boult. all of which
forms a splendid protection for
troop concentration and conceal
; ing ammunition and heavy artil
lery. Here the Americans are pre
paring for the battle of Argonne
iill over again.
i German prisoners report that the
Jiois De Bourgoune is literally filled
with machme guns, many of them
'in the hills and ridges ' within the
forest and even installed in trees.

bulletin!
White Horse, Y. T., Oct. 27.-A
dispatch from the Dominion Tele
graph's department at Juneau late
tonight said that the bodies of 150
victims of the steamship Princess
Sophia disaster had been recov-'
ered.
Seattle, Wash.. Oct. '27. Rescue
boats today swarmed Lynn canal,
near Skagway, Alaska, seeking trace
of the 444 Alaskans and Yafcon xter
ritory residents believed drowned
when the Canadian Pacific Railway
company's steamer, Princess SophiaT
was sent to the bottom ot the canal
by a storm Saturday night. "No
sign of life. No hope for any sur
vivors," read a wireless message re
ceived today at the Canadian Paci
fic's Vancouver, B. C, office from a
United States lighthouse tender,
which' tried unsuccessfully to aid
the Sophia before she went down
and which has been leading the
search for survivors and bodies.
.The message said nine bodies,
eight of them' women, were found
today. A wireless last night told
of finding of another body, that of
a women. So far no bodies have
been identified.
Four of the bodies found today
were on one of the Sophia's col
lapsible lifeboats. Yesterday four
empty lifeboats from the Sophia
were found on a beach.
Death Came Quickly.
The Alice, a sister ship of the
lost vessel, was hurriedly dispatched
north from Vancouver Thursday
when word came that the Sophia
had grounded.
The Alice had just started on her
rescue mission when a violent storm
came up. The wind raced with hur
ricane force down the long, narrow
carwf, and waves 30 feet high pound
ed the Sophia against the rocks,
making it -impossible for the sev
eral vpssfls which hart answered
her distress calls, to geV in close
enough -to help.
Friday night the gale increased
until it lifted the Sophia up, dragged
her across the reef and dropped her
to the bottom of the icy waters. At
daybreak Saturday only the Sophia's
masts jutting from th surface were
visible. Not a soul survived. Death
came quickly to all aboard, despita
the fact that the shore was but a
few yards away. Whole families in
many instances were wiped out.
Loss of the Sophia, it was said
here, was the worst marine disaster
in the history of the Pacific coast.
In the sinking of the boat with all
aboard, the' two, northern territories
lost mai.y of their familiar faces,
among them men who were identi
fied with the pioneer days of the
northland and with some of the
great gold discoveries.

German Vice Chancellor
Urges InterriaT Reforms
Amsterdam, Oct. 27. In the
course of a speech in the reichstag
Thursday, Fricderich von Payer,
vice chancellor, said the enemy's
belief and the assertion the German
people were politically deprived of
their rights and were so oppressed
and dependent on small ruling cir
cles that it constituted a constant
danger for the peace of the entire
world, had been the greatest htn
rfranre to the attainment of peace.
This hindrance, he declared, had
r.fnrma which -were long overdue.
On the previous day, the vice
chancellor had said:
- W' need confidence, not "merely
at home; we need the confidence of
foreign countries, even the confi
dence of our enemies. For we want
peace and we need it.)
"Our enemies distrust our sin
cere intention to conclude a peace
of justice. They mistrust us mainy
ly on the ground of many event!
in the past, concerning which we
cannot take it amiss of 'them if
they have certain doubts.
"We have, therefore, Uo use for
any one in the government who still
favors a peace of force more than
a peace of justice. What we need
in order to be able to exist is an
unequivocal, honest and straight
forward policy That alone can
promote out. welfare in the future."
(Continued from Po One.)
into battle, to furnish' at least half
of th army and far more than half
of the money for winning of the
war, but they are not considered
good enough to have a voice in the
settlement of the war.
"Why? Are not their sacrifices as
great as others? Have not they as
much at stake in the future? Mr.
Wilson says he has "no thought of
suggesting that any political party is
paramount in matters of patriotism,"
but he does suggest it, and he sug
gests further that he alone is para
mount in intelligence.
Seeks, Power Oyer War.
"But Mr. Wilson's real purpose
has nothing to do with the conduct
of the war. He has had that from
the beginning, has it now, and no
body dreams of interfering with his
control. He wants just two things
One is full power to settle the war
precisely as he and his sole, un
elected, unappointed, unconfirmed
personal adviser may determine.
"The other is full power as thet
'unembarrassed spokesman in af
fairs at home' as he actually de
mands in his statement, to recon:
struct in peace time the great in
dustrial affairs of the nation in the
same way, in unimpeded conformity
with whatever socialisticudoctrines,
whatever unlimited government
ownership notions, whatever hazy
whims may happen to possess him
at the time, but first and above all
absolute commitment to free trade
with all the world, thus giving to
Germany out of hand the fruits of
victory greater than she could
win by fighting 100 years. A re
publican congress will never assent
to that. Do you want a congress
that will? Germany does.
Wilson's Pledge to Germany.
"Germany looks to Mr. Wilson to
get it for her, as he pledged himself
to do in one of the few of his fa
mous articles which is explicable.
Germany understands that See t'..e
New York World, spokesimn of the
administration, of last Saturday and
read the testimony of Henry L. em
ery, former head of the tariff com
mission, just returned from seven
months in Germany.
"The Gerntan people,' he says,
'seemed to realize that in president
Wilson lay their only salvation.
They have turned to him in the be
li.: "that he is the one great political
leader who can be trusted to make a
permanent pea.e which shall per
mit equal economic devolpment.'
He is.
Germany Must Say.
"All others demand that the Ger
mans shall pay the full penalty of
their crimes. What wqrse than non
sense then is the democratic cam
paign cry that the election of a re
publican congress, pledged to un
conditional surrender, and protection
of American industries and Ameri
can working men, instead of a dem
ocratic congress ready to assent to a
negotiated peace and free trade,
would bear cheer to Germany.
"Such claims would be uldicrous
if they were not so seriously unpa
triotic. I hey are as unfair, as un
true, and . as utterly impossible as
their claim that our allies would be
cast down by the election of such a
republican congress in the face of
the world-known republican record,
past and present, and in the face of
the recent acclaim abroad of repub
lican senators, as reported in the
Pin's cable to the democratic New
York Times on October 9, hi these
words, The debates in the American
senate share first pages with the
news of the great military victories
on the west front. Senators Mc-
Cumber, Nelson and Lodge are as
highly thought of in France today
as are the American generals.
Unconditional Surrender.
"Mr. Wilson calls upon the repub
licans of the country to repudiate
their presentatives in congress who
have proved true and loyal patriots.
Are you going to do it. Answer
with your votes.
"Mr. Wilson forces the republican
party to lie down or fight. I say,
fight, answer with your votes.
"Mr. Wilson is for unconditional
surrender yes for the unconditional
surrender to himself of the republi
can party, of the country, of the al
lies all to him, as the sole arbiter
and master of the destinies' of the
world. Do you stand for that? An

"The war is a democratic asset,'
said Vice President Marshall, and
they have made every effort - to
make it so, despite the earnest re
publican insistence that we have no
contest as to anything that touches
the war except that contest as to
who best can serve, who most can
give.
Harness Both Horses.
"Republicans have insisted that
with the great war load to haul both
political ho'ses should be harnessed,
eacvh striving to see which can pull
the harder.
"Mr. Wilson's appealis simply the

Calls on Republicans.
"This is a call to all loyal repub

ordnance bureau, Secretary Daniels
; disclosed today in a statement tell

ordnance bureau, under the direction
of Commander S. P. Fullinwider,
succeeded in developing a mine
which has surpassed all expectation,
the secretary said, as not one of the
old ones was suited for work against
submarines.
Electric Anti-Sub. Devices.
New firing mechanism was neces
sary, and for this purpose naval ord
nance officers made use of an elec-
Itrici' anti-submarine device, which
was invented and submitted to the
Navy desartment by Ralph Browne,
an American, in May,-r917. The first
adaptation of this device was in July,
1917.
The design of the new mine was
then proceeded with rapidly, and as
each part was determined upon it
was put into quantity production.
Made In Different Plants. ,
Owing to the fact that the "facili
ties in naval ordnance plants tfas
entirely inadequate to produce the
thousands of mines needed, it was
necessary to place each part of the
mine as it was designed and tested
under manufacture in different plants
throughout the country, most of the
contracts being placed with automo
bile manufacturers. These mines
were then assembled at a mine depot,
and when tested under actual serv
ice conditions were found to func
tion perfectly.
Shipping Arrangements Made.
Before the mines had begun to be
turned out in quantity arrangements
were made to take over a railroad
shipping pier in this country from
which to handle shipments of mine
material. Mining depots were fitted
out on the other side for the assem
bly of the mines, mine basis estab
lished, and a fleet of more than 20
merchant vessels was taken over by
the navy for mine transportation ex
clusively. Meanwhile every effort had been
made to overcome the shortage of
mine planters by converting ships to
that use, and everything was in read
iness when actual production began,
arrangements having been made to
handle 1.000 fcines a day.

The first mine part- were shipped

The German reply is expected to

front on these questions may be
presented to the common enemy.

Germany's reply does not change
the diplomatic situation. Those in
the confidence of President Wilson
have said that his dealings with the
German government ended with his
note informing it that the request
for an armistice and peace had been
transmitted to the allies and that
further action rested with those

The German reply may or may
not prove that Germany will ac

may be presented. In this, connec

not until his 75th year, in 191 1K that
he retired from the United States
senate at the time when the so-,
