Great Battle In Progress.

LONDON, Nov. 13.--A terrific bat tie is now in progress for possession of the bridge at Cernadova. Berlin. Bucharest and Petrograd all empha- size the importance of this position, and both sides are making a supreme effort to capture it. Petrograd states the Russians and Rumanians have captured Dunereav Station, two miles west of the bridge which is undenied from Berlin. The Russians are ap- parently attempting to envelop Mack ensen's left, and military experts say that Russian success will materially change the situation in Dobrudja and embarrass the Teutons. The Russians have received heavy rein forcements and are preparing for a final smash at the Teutons, who are making a desperate stand to prevent being cut off.

BELIEVE SPEECH
 MOST IMPORTANT OPENS THE WAY FOR PEACE German Newspapers, Commenting Upon ChancellOr's Address, Say Now Is the Time for Allies to Come Forward If They Are Sincere
OPENS THE WAY FOR PEACE

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 13.-Several German newspapers, commenting on the speech of Chancellor von Helwcg before the Reichstag Saturday ex- press the belief that the Chancellor has opened the way for peace. The Freissinnige Zeitung says that now is the time for the Entente Allies, especially Great Britain, to come for ward with a program upon which peace may be negotiated. The Der lin newspapers, almost unanimously, treat the Chancellor's speech as most important in throwing light upon the responsibility for the war and the character of the peace status of tLe nations.
 They assert that the way is open if the Entente Allies care to embrace it, to put an end to hostilities, and If they fail to take advantage of the op- portunity, upon them will fall the blame for the continuation of the struggle.

TeutOns Make Gains.

PETROGRAD. Nov. 13.-During the past week in Servia and along the Southwestern Russian fronts the reports state that the fighting has consisted of series of thrusts and counter thrusts which have netted the Teutons slight gains in the vii cinity of Baronovichy. Von Hinden- burg continues to hammer away at the Russian positions of Brezezany and Halicz, west of the Zlota Lipa river, but the German successes have been on the whole temporary. Ex- perts state, however. that the slight losses sustained have been more than offset by the accomplishment of Rus sia's purpose in preventing a diver sion of the German forces to rein force the Teutons in Rumania.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.---"All the French people agree that the war cannot end for a year. possibly two.

 He says: "In the iast fcur months a wholly new atmosphere has per- vaded the western frclit. Since the French have held yerdun intact and have begun successful offensive along the entire front. new confi- dence has been born which cannot know defeat. True, the gains from day to day seem small vet every yard gained is victory in itself on that closely contested line.
 And every week since the offen- sive began the army is where it was planned to be at the expiration of those seven days. Our service has transported ever 100000 wounded from the battlefield to relief nospi- tals in 250 automobiles.
 France is grateful tn America for the many relief funds for the great aid individual citizens have rendered in various ways--for the 10000 Americans serving with the Allied troops-but for American ideals and for American diplomacy as represented by Wilson they have little love-"
