HUNS BEG PEACE,
SHELL DEFENSELESS
FRENCH TOWNS

With the British Armies in
France, Oct. 9.-While their mas
tiers at Berlin are launching an
other peace move, the German sol
diers in the field continue their de-
struction on a widespread scale.
The damage they have done to the
coal mines in northern France in
the Lens district is of most serious
nature. From information at hand
it would appear that the Germans
have done their work so thoroughly
that it may be impossible to get the
mines in operation Tor long time.
