PARIS DOES NOT EXPECT
PEACE AT AN EARLY DATE

Paris, Oct. 9.-Paris regards the
news from the front as indicating a
general giving way of the German
line-a collapse piece by piece of the
enemys positions and a crumbling
away of his army. The formidable
war machine is so seriously affected,
it is pointed out, that even those who
fashioned it are now doubtful of its
soundness-hence their peace propo-
sition, the first that they have really
formulated. The attitude of Paris yes
terday when the stirring news of the
allied successes was coming in was
impressive from the calmness of the
people. The discussion of the reports
in public places generally betrayed the
passionate interest the public at
tached to the sensational develop
ments. But there was no demonstra-
ton anticipative of any speedy speace.
The people, as did their leaders, per-
ceived the necessity for prudence and
caution in considering the possibilities.
The news of the diplomatic moves
was greeted with the same quiet as
surance as that of the allied military
successes. If the imperial German
chancellor and the Austro- Hungarian
foreign minister had hoped to start
a popular move for peace, every sign
pointed to their having grossly de-
ceived themselves. In general the
opinion was expressed that the utter
ances of the enemy statesmen indi-

Paris, Oct S.-President Wilson's

newspapers today and was greeted
with general satisfaction and express
sion of approval throughout Paris. j.,
1.-THE note could not be improved
upon; substitute Paris for Washing
ton as the date line, and the reply

epitome of French opinion as indicat-
ed by the popular reception of the
presidential document.
Paris was on its way to luncheon
when the newspapers containing the
note came out and the people literally
fought for copies Of the edition.
The significant passage in the note
in which President Wilson refuses to
entertain the possibility of a cessation
of hostilities and demanding the i'm
mediate withdrawal of the German
troops is interpreted in military Cir
Giles as meaning that the allies Will
give the Germans no respite in their
retreat.
Commandant Mirabel, one of the
best known military critics in France,
expressed the view to the Associated
Press correspondent in this connec-
tio that the Germans if they were
harassed and pressed during their re-
treat to the Mouse, would lose one
third of their electives and one-half
of their material, On the other hand,
he declared, if they were allowed to
retreat to the powerfully fortified lines
of the Meuse with their armies intact
and their line shortened by nearly 300
kilometers, forty of their divisions
would be available for maneuvering.

all talking of peace is just what Ger

The soldier at the front who gets
the notion that peace is coming soon
and that Germany is about to collapse
loses the will to win. Sir Eric said.
"There can be no greater peril to
the cause of liberty, decency and hui
mainly for which the allies are fight
ing" he added, than a relaxation of
energy brought about by a general
conviction that the war is about TO
end, that Germany is licked and that
therefore it is not necessary to contin-
ue preparation and striving.

longer Germany can hold out. What
interests me is how great whipping
we can give her. The allied armies and
