LINKING UP STRONG
 POINTS, SAPS REUTERS

British Headquarters In France and Belgium, Oct. 23.AWe are steadily linking up bridgeheads and footholds esta blished along the west bank of the Scheldt
 This mornings fighting considera- bly, extended our front on this water way, which is maily interesting be- cause tt had ibee suggested as a possible line of a German railway.
 Today's battle was difficult to fol- ed front, 1t disintegrated into series Of local struggles. Much of the ground is intersected by a perfect network of little waterways, rend- e.ing it marshy and difficult for the troops to advance against delib- crate defense. While between Le Cateau and Solesmes we are ap- preaching thick forest.
 Obviously, under such conditions, news from the thirty mile front must be fragmentary and discon- nected.
 We are drawing in to long range Artillery reach of both Mons and Maubeuge, vital points of the Ger man communications, and it seems not unduly optimistic to predict that the British troops will soon be be ycnd any ~line of French soil they have yet trodden during the present war.
 At present the action is almost wholly confined to struggle of the infantry against machine gun resist ance.
 The nature of the country is un- favorable to the employment of the tanks and even the bringing up oi guns often entals considerable diff culty.
 Moreover, the tendency is to keep the British columns as mobile as mobile as practicable. The sappers and engineers are do ing great work, but it is the infantry tha. is carrying out the victory, The Americans are rapidly adding war wisdom to indomnit&ble gallant ry and are contributing laurels to the history of the Fourth armyl.

SMASH THE HUNS LINES EXPENSES AT VALENCIENNES

With the British Army In France and Belgium, Oct. 23.-The British Third and Fourth armies today smashed through strong German de- fensive positions south of Valenci- enres.
 Gain Nearly Mile. They gained ground to a depth of more than 5000 yards on an ,extepd- ed front, capturing many important villages, and several thousand pris- cners, together with numerous guns, and driving a wedge into the enemy positions at what probably is the most vital point of the lines the Germans are hohlding.
 The fighting was of a desperate nature, the German machine gunners holding out to the last.
 Large Numbers Killed. Large numbers of the enemy were killed
 The advance continues and the menace to the Germans to the north and south of the front attacked is hourly growing.
 Further retreats are expected.

Virtual Surrender.

It accedes to the request that he take up with the allies the proposals of the new spokesmen of the German people, but does it with notice that virtual surrender of the Teutonic ar mics in the field will be the price demanded for interruption of the beating now being administered.
 In transmitting the matter to the allies, the President says he has sug- gested that if they are disposed to ef- feet peace on his terms and principles now accepted by the present German authorities, the American and allied military advisers be asked if they deem such an armistice possible from a military point of view, to submit such terms as will fully protect the interests of the people involved and insure to the associated governments the unrestricted power to enforce peace on the conditions accepted.
 Can't Decline Request.
 The President says he feels he can not decline to take up the question of an armistice, having received sol emn and explicit assurances of the government that it ccepts the terms of peace enunciated by him; that the desire to discuss their application comes ministers speaking for an over- whelming majorik of vhe German people and that the German armed |forces will observe the humane rules of civilized warfare on land and sea- Ignores Protests.
 He ignores entirely the German protests and denials in response to his statement that an armistice could not be considered while the German army and navy continued their atroci- ties.
 As to the authority of the new spokesman of the German people, ne speaks, as the note says, without any attempt to soften what may seem harsh worlds" and tells the men with whom he is dealing and through them the German people why such extra ordinary safeguards must be demand ed before hostilities can cease.
 Congress Opinion Divided. In congress the expressions oi lca0ers indicated a divided opinon
 Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska chairman of the senate Foreign he- lations Committee, approved the note in unqualified terms, declaring II called for surrender and would ere ate a political crisis in Germany.

Germany's Peace Note Re- ceived Yesterday, But
 Phrases Are Vague.

Washington. Oct. 23.-The English translation of the German reply to President Wilson prepared in Berlin and forwarded through the Swiss lega- ton here, was made public tonight by the State Department.
 It does not differ materially from the wireless version sent out from Germany and fails to clear up what were regarded as vague phrases in that part of the nation which an arm istice is discussed.
 The official document was made public by the State Department in this announcement:

American in Hot Scrap.

Particularly vicious fighting is in
 progress west of the Mouse river where the Americans in their endea- vors to overcome obstacles barring the way northward to Sedan, are faced ov picked troops with orders to hold them back at all costs; in the region from Le Cateau to the north of Val-
 enciennes where the British and some Americans gradually tearing their
 way through the enemys front and be-
 tween Tournai and Audende, where
 the British also are hard after the enemy.
 Material Progress Made. Notwithstanding the frantic endea- 'vors of the enemy to maintain their positions on all three of these sectors, material progress has been made. x Likewise, northeast of Laon the | French on an eight mile front have delivered a thrust that carried them forward from two to three miles. k Into the hands of the British have ffallen 2,000 more German prisoners while the Americans west of the. Mouse also have gathered in num- i1bers of the enemy and considerable fquantity of his machine guns. |' Nests Machine Guns. Veritable nests of machine guns are being encountered by the Ameri- cans as they attempt to press forward
 along the front from the Mouse to
 the town of Grand Pre-, situated
 north of the Argonne forest, but in
 spite of these obstacles they have taken further ground and at last ac- ] counts were steadily keeping up their 1 pressure against the enemy. Extremely heavy counter attacks
 have been successfully sustained north of Grand Pre- and on this sector
 particularly strong concentrations of enemy artillery fire have gone almost for naught.
 Breuilles Captured. 1 On the western bank of the Mouse
 the town of Breuilles has been taken. the enemy having burned and evacua- ted it and retreated in the general diY- ection of Dun.
 1 Exactly what has been accomplish ed by the French in drive north
 east of Laon, except that they have
 gained over wide front, has not yet
 become apparent; but it brings appre-
 ciably nearer Montcornet, the last in-
 portant railroad junction in this re-
 zion.

 The allied armies in France and Belgium are still driving the Ger mans toward theft border, but the progress is now comparative ly slow. On the sectors that are requisite to the stability of the entire German line-where a crash drought probably would mean the immediate collapse of the whole defensive system-the most stubborn resistance is being offered by the enemy and what gains are being made by the allies are virtually foot by foot in the of the hornets of the battle line the machine guns.
