RAIL JUNCTION
Americans Drive Germans From
Village of Grandpre.
Heavy Rain Is Interfering With Mill
tary Operations in the Verdun
Region.

With the American Army Northwest
of Verdun, Oct. Is. - The town of
Grandpre, on the north bank OF the
Aire river, north of the Argonne for
est, has been occupied by American
troops.
Rain has fallen over the entire field
of combat, converting roads and
trenches into muddy canals.
Aviation was impossible and the ar
tillery fire was directed entirely by
maps, except in rare instances when
direct fire was used.
Grandpre is only a village and its
normal population is less than 1900,
but the place is of great strategic inn
portanee. 1t is the junction of the
railways feeding a great part of the
German armies and lies at the foot of
the valley extending northward at the
entrance of which the Germans have
fought so stubbornly.

Many Stories in Circulation That
Germany Has Decided to
Surrender.
CRAVE PROBLEM
German People May Arise and Over.
throw Kaiser or He May Abdi-
cate, Thus Removing
Barrier to Peace.

Amsterdam, Oct. 18.-Emperor
William has issued a decree say
ing that martial law in Germany
can only be administered by an
agreement between the civil and
military authorities, according to
a report received here.
London, Oct. 18. The Official
Press Bureau is officially informed
that the reports published to the
effect that Germany has capitu-
lated have no foundation in fact.
Washington, Oct. Is. Diplomats
here are prepared for any sort of news
from Berlin. Startling dispatches
came from neutral capitals regarding
a sudden and complete capitulation of
Germany to President Wilson's peace
terms. The diplomats discounted
these reports, however.
The situation in Washington Is
this: There is a possibility, not to be
denied, of course, that the German
people might arise and dethrone the
kaiser, or he might abdicate and thus
the Hohenzollern. bar to complete &C
ceptance of the Allied terms as out
lined by the President might be re-
moved. But that is only a possibility
and n far removed when the sheep
psychology of the German people is
considered.
Revolution Still Verboten.
The leaven of revolution, which 1t is
believed here the Presidents note may
have instilled in the German public,
will work more slowly, conservative
observers and supporters of the Will
sonian diplomacy believe. 1t must not
be forgotten that revolution in Ger
many is verboten.
The news reports, however, were
undoubtedly of more or less signif-
cance. They may have originated
through any number of ources-an
enthusiastic peace-seeking German
newspaper. defying the all-powerful
military censor, for instance. Or they
may have been ar inspirted report
directed by the ever-working propa.
ganda department of the German gov
eminent. Or they may have had some
basis of fact. Time only will tell.
In the meantime, America and the
Allies are going on with the war. The
President has put it up to the German
people and the longer they bow to the
mandate of the kaiser the thinner
their fortune becomes; the more in
evitable becomes defeat.
1t is not to be overlooked, also, that
the m factories got busy at the
very moment the German armies were
preparing to take their first great step
toward the evacuation of Belgium-a
step, however, that vas instigated by
the armies of Field Marshal Foch in
stead of under a neutrality-suspicious.
