there evidence in the reply of genuine
desire to accept the only way in which
peace can be concluded, according TO
expression of opinion here. On the con-
trary, all that is apparent is the urgent
desire Of the German general staff to
get an armistice at any price in order
to reorganize lbs reserves of men and
material
Therefore it is generally believed that
the reply is not likely to be considered
at Washington.
The Figaro says the men who com
bined to write the reply TO President
Wilson have translated the anguish,
disarray and powerless anger Of the peo-
pie In whose name they pretend to
speak"
The Matin says;
Our adversary seeks still to deceive
himself by lulling himself against all
evidence and hopes to succeed in delud-
ing Wilson by euphemisms and equivo-
cations"
The Journal says the note seeks to
divide the allies and TO draw from Presi-
dent Wilson formal declaration that
nothing will be asked contrary to the
honor Of the German people, but what
an avowaI OF defeat it is.
Colonel de Thomasson in the Petit
journal says:
"The note is proof that the German
high command considers the situation Of
it's armies most grave, but not yet des-
perate"
"The German government again is try
ing to quibble," says I'Homme Libre.
"Stin, while huniliating itself, it does
not admit its defeat, but one feels it is
at the end of its resistance"
Marcel Cachin, writing in Humanite,
says:
ION every point the German govern
ment clearly shows an effort at concilia-
tion. Good sense and reason dictate
that we do not persist in talking Of
traps and tricks. We may observe that
new step toward just peace has been
made this day"

GERMANYS ANSWER NOT ACCEPTABLE
TO OUR ALLIES; PRESIDENT WILSON HAS
NOT YET MADE REPLY ON LATEST NOTE
GERMAN RESISTANCE
STRONGER ON SCHELDT
tBy the Associated Press J

Allied troops on the northern
end of the front in France and
Belgium to-day are driving into
the German line from west OF
Client past Journal to Valen-
ciennes. This is the line of the
Scheldt and two of the important
points on -Tournai and Valen-
ciennes ARE nearly within the
grasp of the British.
German resistance is stiffening
between Tournai and Valenciennes,
the southern end of the S0-mile
line from Valenciennes to the
Dutch frontier. The British armies,
however, continue to progress.
0rcq, within less than q mile OF
Tournai on the west, has been cap
tured and the British hold La SEN
tinelle, one mile west of Valen-
ciennesf
North ofNTournai the British are
along the Scheldt on a front of five
miles and north and south of this
sector rapidly are gaining the
western bank of the river. Be-
tween Valenciennes and lie Cateau
the British maintain their pressure
and have reached the Ecaillon riv-
er at Thiant, southwest of Valen-
ciennes.
French forces continue their
pressure on the front from the
junction of the Disc and the Serre
eastward TO Vouziers. On the ex-
treme left they have advanced
north of the Serre. East of the
Aisne at youziers the Germans
have ceased their violent efforts to
dislodge the French from impor-
tant hill positions The French
here are in a position to outfank
the Germans facing the Americans
on the sector west of the Meuse,
which accounts for the strong Ger
man efforts to drive the French
back. General Gouraud's men,
however, have defeated all enemy
attacks.
