such packages can be sent they must be
accompanied by statement by the

NEW YORK, October 9.-(Compil-

There is every reason to believe
that the great offensive of the allied

max and that the next few days may
witness events which will mark an
epoch in the history of the war
On front extending from Roulers
ON the north to Verdun far down to-

the Germans are being battered by
successive blows and in some of these
sectors they seem to be in very
serious position.
British and American forces struck
a blow south of Cambrai yesterday
that seems to have shattered what
remained of the great enemy defen-
sive system in that region. Over a
20 mile front the allies stormed ahead
and at nightfall appeared to be out
in the open country and moving to-
ward the Cambrai-Le-Chateau road
which is the only avenue of escape for
the Germans still in Cambria. 1t nov

the front far to the northward.
Futher south the French have won
valuable ground ~and have moved
ahead SO that their front is virtually
in line with that of the British and
Americans. This advance taken in
connection with the progress of Gen.
Berthelot's army along the Aisne
north of Rheims appears to place the
Laon salient within the jaws of a
pair Of pinchers which are slowly
closing. Gen. Bethelot has not only
put Laon in pocket but his advance
along the Aisne is most menacing to

GERMANY is WILLING TO AC-
CEPT PRINCIPALS AS LAID

WASHINGTON, d. c., October g.
President Wilson has met Germany's
peace note with move which will,
at one stroke, develop whether her
proposal is sincere or merely pre-
tension, and if a pretension it be, fully
justify for all time before the world
the prolounging of the war with force
to the utmost, force without stint or
limit. At the same time the President
has left wide open the door to peace.
Declining to propose an armistice
while the armies of the Central Pow
ers remain on. invaded soil, the Pres
ident calls on the German chancellor
to state, as an absolute necessary pre-
liminary to reply from the Entente
Allies and the United States, whether
Germany accepts the principles Of
peace as repeatedly laid down, or
merely proposes to accept them "as
the basis Of negotiations" and whe-
ther. the chancellor merely speaks for
the German military masters conduct
ing the war or the whole German peo-
pie.
As the full significance of the Pres
ident's diplomacy is disclosed 1t be-
comes evident that he has left open
the way to peace and at the same time
left the miltarist leaders of the Cen
tral Powers with a question they must
necessarily answer in way that win
lead to peace or confront them with
an embarrassing situation in their
own countries.
