Correspondent Declares Germany Is
Ready to Cede Territory and There
by Cut Of One Enemy.

London. Oct 29.-Cabling from Paris the
correspondent Of the London Chronicle
says:
AN attempt has been made by the
Kaiser's advisers and agents during the
last few days to separate France from
her allies and enable their government
to pursue the war with hopes Of success.
Information has been conveyed to GER
tain influential Frenchmen who were ex-
pected to act as Intermediates that the
German imperial government recognizes
the quality Of the stand made by the
French armies. has never regarded
France as her principal enemy and IS
ready TO make peace on terms not merely
honorable, but generous, for the repub-
lie. These would include the transfer -
France of Metz and the neighboring part
of Lorraine. and perhaps a part Of Al

This proposition was listened to with
amusement. No Frenchman can for
moment ignore the horrible injuries the
war is working. Il is even easier for
false than for true prophets Of peace
to play upon this note but neither can
any responsible Frenchman ignore for
a moment the fact of the multiple al
lance and all it stands for in the present
and the future"

SNOW SOON WILL END
RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN
Petrograd Reports Germans Have
Been Driven Back to Thorn
Trenches.
BY FRANCIS LAVELLE MURRAY.

Petrograd, Oct. "a report from the
general stan says that the Germans
have been driven in flight back to their
main trenches along the front extend
ing from Thorn southwark through Klo-
dawa. OZorkow and Petrokow. They
have taken up strong positions upon the
hills along the Ned River south OF Kio-
dawa.
Military experts believe that little more
will be accomplished by either the Rus
sian or Austria German armies before
winter sets in. The snow storms that be-
gan in East Prussia and then spread
southwark to Central Poland have now
extended TO the borders OF Galicia- Con-
siderable snow has also fallen In the foot
hills Of the Carpathians and II is eX-
peCted that within a short time heavy
billiards will be sweeping the Galician
plains.
1t is expected that by the time the
spring fighting opens Russia will have
100000 men in the field.
Great importance is attached by mill
tary critics here to the breaking of
the German resistance on the left bank OF
the Vistula, between Iavngorod and the
junction Of the Pilitca with that river.
The most obstinate fighting seems TO
have taken place on the banks OF the
River Radomka, a few miles west OF
where the Germans were
strongly placed in broken and densely
wooded country.
The Russians successes here are ex-
pected to have an important bearing
on the battle to the north of the
Pilitca, where the Germans continue to
hold their positions on hilly ground north
east of Tomascheff

The fresh revolt was initiated with the
landing In Port au Prince OF Charles

the republic.
The rebels are holding the port city
and as soon as II became known that
the Presidents brother had landed from
the Netherlsnd' steamship Prinz wIIlem.

Shooting in the streets and FREQUENT en-
counters between the government troops

ITALY CLAMPS DOWN EMBARGO.
No More COntraband for Germany.
Britons Stop Copper Ships.

Representatives of four American cop
per companies notified the State Depart
ment yesterday that Great Britain had
detained at Gibraltar two italian vessels.
laden with American copper, bound for
Italy.
The State Department has not yet re-
ceived from Consul Sprague, at Gibral-
tar, any report of the detention of these
vessels and will await word from him be-
fore taking any action. The. consul re-
ported the detention by the British at Gil
braltar of the American steamer Kroon-
land, also carrying copper to Italy, and
a further report on this case is expected
in day or two.
1t was explained on behalf Of the Brit
ish government that the copper undoubt-
edly will be detained until it can be as
certained whether the cargoes are ulti-
mately to reach Germany, or whether the
copper IL really for consumption in Italy.
This action is being taken by the British

tention Of the KroonIand It has been
learned that Italy has placed an embargo

notified Of this embargo. Had the Brit

Recall. Old Prirateer..

The latest additions to the already long
list OF exploits OF the fast German
cruiser Emden are likely to give her a
fame as a commerce destroyer equal to
that Of the vessels OF similar character
in the naval wars OF early in the last
century and in the American civil war.
The ruse Of the Enden in steaming into
the British harbor Of Penang, under the
Japanese flag, recalls the practices OF the
men OF war and privateers OF a hundred
years ago, who often cruised the high
seas under a flag not their own. Naval
officers yesterday were inclined to the
opinion that the officers Of the Russian
cruiser Jemtchug and the French deS
stroyer in Penang, which were torpedoed
by the Emden, are open to criticism for
not recognizing her as an enemy vessel
even II she had adopted the disguise OF
the Japanese nag and a fourth smoke
stack. Inasmuch as Penang is a British
port, 1t IL declared that there is no
ground for denouncing the trick played
by the Emden's commander.
This feat Of the Emden will not in the
least impair her status among neutral
countries.
