FRANCE IN 1871

Amsterdam, Oct 26.-As far as
Alsace-Lorraine are concerned it is
clear as these territories were ex-
pressly mentioned in President Will
sons IA points that we agree to the
regulation of those questions, said
Or. w. Solf, the German Foreign
Secretary in addressing the Reich
stag on Thursday.
In his address he referred to what
President Wilson said quoting from
his address as follows, "The wrong
done to France by the Prussians in
1871 in the retention of Alsaeec-Lor-
Yaine has unsettled the peace Of the
world for fifty years and should be
righted." Moreover DR.. Sold said
that he accepted President Wilson's
program as the basis for the entire
pace settlement. We will loyalty
abide by the principles which he
enunciates in order to bring complete
justice and fulfill his program in all
direetioas and towards all parties.

COVER RETREAT BY
ARTIFICIAL FLOODS

hxkx 1t 1S1<Ah RhoODo
With the French Army in France,
Oct. 26.-(By Associated Press. y
In the valley of the Disc the Ger
mans have formidably strengthened
the natural defenses by artifcaial
floods from the region of Guise,
southwark to La Fere. Dams pre-
pared long ago for use in the event
uality of retreat have enabled the
Germans to divert the waters of the
Disc and spread them through the
valley. They also have another wa.
ter-line in the valley of the Serre to
protect their present positions.
In spite of the formidable OBJ.
stacles encountered and almost con-
slant service in the fighting line for
the past three months, the forces of
General Debeney continue to forge
ahead and will soon have driven the
enemy back upon the old battlefields
of the retreat from Charleroi in
1914. The Germans are expected to
make stand around Guise where the
French held them up for a short
time during their march to the
Marne.
The tactics of the Germans appear
to be to hold as long as they can on
their chosen positions, retiring to
one after another as circumstances
require and forcing the French
troops to deliver an attack to drive
them fro meach halting place. This
plan aided by the nature of the
+; ground over whic hthe yare retiring
obliges the Germans to make great
sacrifices, as is shown by the in.
J creased number of dead found on
the battlefield.

Copenhagen, Oct 26.-With few
exceptions the German press criti-

Wilson saying that he has changed
afnce the first one sent and that he
betrays in its content and in the dis
cussion Of the German people lack
Of comprehension OF the recent events
transpiring in Germany as we'll as a
misconception of what is happening
there. They also say that his note
represents a concession to the allied
demands which we're probably not al
together clear to him when he
wrote the first message.
Theodore Wolff writing in the
Taggeblatte of Berlin expresses great
disappointment at the note. He
says that it has always been prin-
to interfere with the internal affairs

of other nations. (Dr. Wolff has ref
erence OF course to the demand OF
the President that the Kaiser and
the military group in Germany must
be eliminated before there can be
any guaranteed of continued world

WAR REVIEW
The Sincerity of Germany's $
Peace Offer Will be Meas
ured by their Ability

The events of the past week have
not been as spectacular as thoes OF
the week preceding, still they have
been full of importance.
The liberation Of Serbia is pro
ceeding rapidly. The Danube has
been reached and crossed and AL
lied troops have entered Roumania.
II the war continues much longer
We may look for Roumania to again
become an active force. Turkey has
taken the first step towards surren-
der and the chances are that she will
cease to be factor in the war from
now on. The vast armies which
have swept up the Mesopotamina
valley and through Palestine will
unite soon and with peace declared
on the part of the Turk will be able
to send substantial aid to Serbia and
Roumania. In fact it would not be
at all surprising 10 see an army Of
more than a million men on that
front before Spring.
Italy has begun new offensive
and in the weakened condition OF
Austria should be able to break
through for substantial gains. What
with the danger In the east, the rev.
olutionary movements at home and
the invasion of the Italians in the
west it does not seem humanity pos
sible to get out, it will leave Germa-
ny toeither accept the terms of the
allies or face certain and complete
destruction.
The Allies on the western front
have not been idle while these 9th,
er events were taking place. Mar.
shall Foch has averaged 400 square
miles of territory and $4,000 prison.

France Immediately adjoining. Re
newed activity on the American
front north of Verdun seem to indi
cate that at last the preparation:
have made and the great movement
has begun that will force the retire
ment or capture Of all the German
armies.
| Nothing has been said of Germa
ny's peace offers because they de
pend upon the military situation
II the Germans can make a success
full stand they will prolong tn
peace discussions indefinitely, il tn
lAllies can threaten an overwhelm

Iof the German cry for peace can b

ing else. And from present indica
