YANKEE CROSSING OF
MEUSE HEROIC FEAT
Operations Accomplished Un-
der Heavy Enemy Fire.
By the Associated Press.

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES ON THE
SEDAN FRONT, Nov 6.-The crossing of
the River Meuse and the capture of the
town Of Dun by the Americans will rank
as one OF the most gallant feats Of the
entire operations northwest OF Verdun.
The troops who accomplished Il will
be entitled to rank as heroes, for their
work in militarily crossing the stream
was strategic move OF unusual daring
The crossing Involved the forcing of a
way over the 160 foot river, a half mile
wide stretch of mud and a sixty foot
canal In the face of frightful enemy
fire.
The order to cross the canal came at
mid-afternoon Monday. The troops re-
ceived their grim instructions under a
sun which was shining for the first time
in days. The men knew almost as we'll
as their commanders the difficulty of the
task and realized how wellnigh impos-
sible its accomplishment would be. Yet
they never doubted or hesitated.
The Germans were too firmly en-
trenched at all other spots. They had
not protected themselves with trenches
here only because they never dreamed
that the Americans would be so daring
as 70 try to negotiate the passage, This
was a short distance north of Brieulles.
All the swimmers Of the first brigade
were first singled out and put In the
van. II was intended to attack in this
way on the theory that the swimmers
were less likely to be hit by the Ger
mans owing to the fact that they would
be nearly submerged. On the other hand
they could carry with them ropes and
other paraphernalia for assisting nom
swimmers across The building OF pom
toon bridges was put OF until at least
some American, elements had crossed
the river.

= WASHINGTON, Nov. e. According
to preliminary indications reaching
here, which must be taken for what
they are worth, Germany will accept
the armistice terms presented by
Marshal Foch, and this acceptance
will not be long delayed.
A restricted and definite time limit
Is understood to accompany the armis-
tice terms in so far as Germany's con-
sideration Of them is concerned. Pro-
vision is made for the German mill
tary commanders to acFlaint the Ger
man Government with the terms and
for the Government to consult the
Bundesrath and leaders In the Reichs-
tag, but no time Is provided for
counter propositions, discussion or
haggling.
It is understood that this will be
made very plain by Marshal Foch from
the start. The terms must be &C.
cepted or rejected In their entirety
Rejection does not. mean that Ger
many may reconsider the matter next
week or the week. after. but means
that the war will 90 on and that Ger

No Other Course Open.
In these circumstances and in view

here that no matter how much OF
shock the armistice terms may Z. bt
they will be, accepted. This is primar
lily based on the realization here thai
there is. as officials explained tonight
nothing else left for Germany to do.
Unofficial reports reaching here to-
night tended in most instances to con-
firm. the conviction that the next de-
velopment will be news Of Germany't
capitulation or acceptance Of the armis
tice.
There were counter currents from
Germany Indicative of Teutonic indis
