GERMAN BATTLE LINE IN FRANCE DISINTEGRATING Retreat in Big Salient North of Laon Forced by Success of Thrust by French and Americans Between Oise and Serre Rivers; Austrians Being Forced Back Rapidly in Northern Italy. ' By the Associated Press. While both1 Germany and Austria are seeking to secure a cessation of hostilities and Turkey also is reported to be favorably disposed toward peace, the entente allied troops on all the battle fronts are giving no heed to peace proposals, but are continuing without mercy to drive their foes before them, and in all the battle zones the allies are meeting with marked success. 111 I I ailVV WltildlJ uuuiv is slowly disintegrating under the violence of the allied offensive; in northern Italy the Austro-Hungar-ian? are being forced back by the British, French" and Italians with heavy losses in men killed, wounded or made prisoners; near the shores of the Adriatic in Albania the Italians are driving the Austri ans toward the Montenegro frontier, while in Asiatic Turkey, both in Syria and Mesopotamia, the British are fast clearing the Turks from their former strongholds. Enemy Giving Way Steadily. Although the Germans in France and Flanders still are strenuously resisting the allied attempts to break their line, they are giving away Steadily under the force of the attacks. , In the other theaters there apparently is not? the same disposi tion to offer subbom denial of the right pf Way, except possibly in the mountain region of Italy, where an attempt is being made by the allied forces to open the back dpor into Austria. - South of Valenciennes, in France, Field Marshal Haig's forces, not withstanding stiff opposition, have advanced their line in the general operation, which has in view the capture of Valenciennes, and press ing toward Mons and Maubeuge in the general converging movement that is going on between Belgium and the region north of Verdun. Forte Retreat in Salient. Further south, from the Oise river to the region of Rethel, the French have gained a signal victory by forcing a retreat of the enemy in the big salient north of Laon and are threatening to cause the collapse oi the entire German line eastward through a fast turning movement. American troops have been thrown into the line near Rethei and have advanced nearly a mile and taken numerous prisoners. The German war office admits the suc cess of the thrust of the French be tween the Oise and Serre rivers, saying that the German lines were withdrawn Sunday night to a front west of Guise and east of Crecy. Americans Bombard Longuyon In connection with this general movement the Americans northwest of Verdun have begun an operation which possibly may have important results.

Hindenburg Expected To Be Sacrificed Next To New German Regime Amsterdam, Oct. 28. The ques tion heard upon all sides is wheth er Field Marshal von Hindenburg will follow in the footsteps of Ludendorff. The Rhenish West phalian Zeitung of Essen claims to know that he will BKthe next sacrifice to the new regime. The Essen Allgemeine Zeitung mentions General von Lossburg, chief of staff of the sixth army, as. the successor of Ludendorff. General von Lossberg is credited with being the inventor of the "movable defense system." George Bernhard writing in the Berlin Vossische Zeitung, while acclaiming Ludendorff 4s one of the saviors of the father land from "enemy devastation," says the fact that he conceived himself omniscient and omnipo tent brought his doom. Railroad Men Told to Vote Democratic1 in Circular Letter Just Issued By Grace GERMANS FEAR BREACH INMETZ DEFENSE LINES Forces at Work Day and Night Digging Trenches and Stringing Electric ally Charged Wires. ' By Associated Press. With the American Army North west of Verdun, Oct. 28. Although the German army is making the most desperate effort in the war's history to prevent the Americans from breaking through in the vital Verdun sector, it is equally or more fearful that there may be a breach endangering Metz, with the conse quent necessity of abandoning all the territory still occupied and an invasion of the German empire it self. With division after division of troops, machine guns and artillery, the enemy is bitterly defending him self west of Verdun. But it is with an elaborately strong trench system with rows of barbed wire and even electrified wire, that he has fever ishly working 'during the past few weeks to make Metz invulnerable. The sytem has been laid out roughly, between Pont-A-Mousson, hAvricourt and the river Seille, with a parallel front from Uieminot to Vic. The enemy's activity first showed itself between Chafeau-Salins and Moyenvic, where no less than five (Continued on Page Two, Column Seven.) Further evidence is being received to discredit the democratic camou flage pratii.g about politics being adjourned in McAdoo's edict against political activity in the railway service. A counterpart of the presi dent's recent appeal for votes on November 5, comes to hand in the form of a circular letter issued by S. H. Grace, secretary-treasurer of Division No. 1, Railway Employes department, American Federation of Labor. These circular letters, on the offi cial stationery of the organization, are addressed to "Railroad Em ployes, State of Nebraska. Instructed as to Vote. In direct violation of the order of Director General McAdoo, the circulars proceed to importune the recipients to "vote for all democratic candidates for congress at this ti- e in order to show that we as a class are with our president," etc. The inference is that men must vote for democratic candidates to show that they are with the presi dent. No reference is made to the republicans who have and are sup porting the president. Wage Increase Mentioned Reference is made to increased wages received by railroad em ployes, who are reminded by Mr. Grace that self-preservation is the first law of nature." The demo cratic candidate for United States senator is referred to by name and the statement is made that he favors government ownership of railroads. "It is therefore to your interest to vote for him if you are of the same opinion." Governor Neville is mentioned by name and support for him is urged.

"Be Vigilant and Hold Fast" Hindenburg's Plea to Army With the American Army-Northwest of Verdun, Oct. 28. "Hold fast, an armistice has not yet been concluded," is theword sent to the German troops by Field Marshal von Hindenburg, chief of the gen e: staff, according to a captured do.ument now in the hands of the Americans. The German comman der's appeal reads: "German, soldie;3 he vigilant. The word 'armistice is current in the trenches and camps, but we have n't yet reached-that point. To some the word represents a certainty; to others it is even a synonym of the peace so long desired. They believe that events no longer depend upon them. Their vigilance is relaxed; their courage and their endurance, as well as their spirit of defiance to ward the enemy, are diminished. "We have not yet reached our aim.

Rome, Oct. 28. More than 9,000 Austrians were taken prisoner in the operations on the Italian front yesterday, according to the war of fice announcement today. Fifty-one guns were also captured. The Italian and British troops have crossed the Piave river, not withstanding the resistance of the Austro-Hungarians. In Albania the Italians have reached the vicinity of Alessio, 20 miles southeast of Scutari. The text of the communication is sued by the war office foliows: "Our army in conjunction with allied contingents, has crossed the Piave river by force of arms, en gaging in bitter battles the enemy, who strove desperately to bar the way. "Between the slopes and height? of Valdobbiadene and the mouth of the Soligo torrent our infantry as sault troops passed during the night, under violent fire, to the left bank of the river, broke into the enemy's front lines and carried them. "Supported by the fire of the ar tillery on the right bank they gained ground and repulsed enemy counter attacks throughout the day. "To the south tne 10th army, tak ing advantage of the successes of the British at Grave Di Pappado polo, compelled the enemy to re tire and repulsed two counter at tacks in the direction of Borgo Malanotte and Roneadelle. The prisoners taken yesterday aggre gated more than 9,000. Fifty-one guns were captured. "Allied aircraft "with extreme dar ing, attacked the enemy troops from low altitudes. "In local - fighting on Monte Grappa 150 prisoners were taken. The enemy heavily attacked on Monte Pertica and obtained a foot hold in the Italian positions although at great sacrifices. Later the Italian infantry in severe fight ing drove out the enemy and re gained the lost positions.

PEOPLE'S WAR, NOT WILSON'S, SAYS COLONEL Roosevelt Denounces Attempt by Administration to to Make War Po litical Issue. - New York, Oct. 28. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt declared in an address tonight that it was "the ver iest nonsense that even partisanship-. can conceive" to state that failure to return a democratic congress this fall would be interpreted by the allies and Germany "as being a re pudiation of the war aims of this country." Speaking before the republican club at Carnegie hall to urge the success of the republican state ticket here in New York and of the repub lican congressional ticket through out the union the former president asserted that "what we need is an American congre.s, a congress of straightout Americans and not a congress of rubber stamps." "We republicans pledge ourselves to stand by the president so long as he stands by the American peo ple and to part company from him at any point where in our judgment he does not stand by the people," he said. "This is the people's gov ernment, this is the people's war, and the peace that follows shall be the people's peace." Senators Highly Thought Of. Quoting a press dispatch to the effect that republican senators such as McCumber, Nelson and Lodge "are as highly thought of in France today as are the American generals," Colcnek Roosevelt declared that "nine times out of 10, this adminis tration has never led the people, has been reluctantly forced forward into action by criticism against which it has violently protested" (Continued on rage Two, Column Two.)

Dispatches received today at the effices of the commission here said the present supply of, food in the region cannot possibly last more than two weeks. All communica tion ''systems were destroyed by the retreating Germans, and motor lor ries must be depended upon to bring up the needed supplies. Much sick ness also is reported in the Lille region and conditions there were de scribed as even worse than in the adjacent Belgian area. . ' - " J- BELLEUWOOD AGAIN IN HANDS OF AMERICANS Huns Retaliate for Firing Upon Their Lines of Communi cation by Shelling Back Areas. By Associated Press. With the American Army North west of Verdun, Oct. 28. There has been intense activity along the en tire front late-today. The Germans have been nervously shelling the back areas, firing- two shells where one was dropped cftiring the last two davs. In retaliation for the firing by the American long range guns upon vital German lines of communication in the rear, the Germans today shell ed Verdun and places in that region with a gun of large caliber. The Bois De Belleu again is in the hands of the Americans. Fierce fighting has continued east of the Meuse where the Germans are cling ing desperately to hill 360 southeast of Crepion, using machine guns and artillery lavishly. The hill com mands the entire district. The Americans have extended their positions in the southern end of the Bois De Bourgognf! better ing their line to the east. The Belle joyeuse fartu is no man's land. In repulsing a local attack in the region of hill 204, north of Grandpre, the Americans took a few prisoners and several machine guns. Long Range Guns Formidable. The gun used in shelling of Lon guyon is said to be infinitely more formidable than the big gun with which the Germans bombarded Paris, though its range probably is not as great. The big guns were ready for use sometime ago, but could not be used because bad weather prevented the necessary support by aviators. The sky ndw has been clear for two days. The results of the bombardment have not yet been announced. The use of these bng range guns has been awaited eagerly ever since the Americans advanced to a point from which the guns could reach the vital railroad. For days the guns have been on the American sector maneuvering for positions from which they might successfully bombard the Sedan-Carignan-Montmedy-Longunon liner The cutting of this line, toward which the Americans have been pressing constantly, would mean the virtual collapse of the entire German front to the Dutch border. Even to interrupt the railroad intermittently would be a huge gain, since most of the German relief divisions sent against the Americans have been brought in over that line. Observers report that extensive destruction to railroad sheds and other German military buildings was (Continued on Pag Tro,Colum Blx.) Washington, Oct. 28. While Germany's latest note to President Wilsonwas being delivered to the State depart ment today through the Swiss legation,- cable dispatches from Europe brought information that the Austro-Hun-garian government had caused another communication to tions for peace and an armistice be entered into without awaiting the results of the Exchanges with Germany. The Vienna government asserted that it adhered to the same point of , view expressed by the president in his last communication upon the rights of the Austro-Hungaran peo ples, especially those of the Czecho-, Slovaks and Jugo-Slavs, and re quested that he begin overtures witn tne allied governments with a view to ending immediately hostili ties on all Austro-Hungarian fronts. ; German Note Arrives. The official text of the German note received today did not differ materially from ibe nnnffirial wr sionas received by cable. No offi- ' cial comment was forthcoming. Re garding the renewed assurance in the German note that the constitu tional stfucfaif-tKeGerfnan gov ernment has been and is being changed to democratic TlnesV it is pointed out that the truth of this statement and the scope of the changes already made or projected after all are matters to be dealt with in connection with peace and not in arranging an armistice. KAISER RAPPED IN HOT DEBATE IN REICHSTAG Socialist Intimates German Emperor Will Have to Face Trial Before Crim-. inal Court. . Amsterdam, Oct. - 28. Exciting scenes occurred In the German reichstag during the proceedings of the house on Friday and Saturday. Outspoken speeches were indulged in. In he course of the discussion the Polish deputy, vKofrantz, declared that in Chemnitz alone the war raw materials department sold' 8,000,000 marks woi of carpets and other goods taken from Poland. Seven hundred thousand poor Polish peo ple were carried off to Germany, where they led the life of slaves, while Brig.-General Pilsudski, (of the Polish legion), whom the Polish nation regarded highly, was still held in the fortress at Magdeburg, despite all appeals. The deputy concluded: "We are not blaming the German people for these persecutions, but German militarism. We extend the hand of reconciliation to the Ger man people for the common weal." "The question cannot longer be evaded," said Dr. Cohn, independent socialist; "war with the Hehenzol lerns or peace without the Hohenzol lerns. World revolution will follow or world imperialism and world mili tarism, and we will overcome them. We extend our hand to our friends beyond the frontier in this strggle." The speech was received with such commotion as cries of "shame," and applause, that the vice president threatened to have the chamber cleared. Another socialist, Oto Ruehle, was called to order for declaring that the emperor must abdicate. He re torted: "A call to order won't save him, from the criminal court." The house debated the bill amend ing the constitution which was passed Saturday. Several speakers displayed anxiety to show that the reforms were not dictated by the enemy, but had been advocated since the spring of 1917. Five Dollars For Ten Words!
