WAR SUMMARY
(By The Associated Press)

Sweeping steadily over the low
lands of Belgian Flanders, the Brit
ish, French and Belgian armies are
rapidly bearing away the extreme
right flank of the German battle
line. Twelve Thousand prisoners
have been captured in two days, ac-
cording to official statements This
would seem to indicate a victory of
great Importance, even if the ground
gained was not OF the utmost i'm
portance in the development of the
mighty allied offensive.
Allied forces have captured Menin
and Wervicq and are across the
Lys river in the neighborhood OF the
latter town. There are unofficial re
ports that Thourout has been taken,
and it is confirmed that the British
are within two miles of Courtrai.
This completely outfanks Lille from
the north, and the Germans prob
balv will be forced out of that city
in brief time. The allies now are
about eleven miles from Bruges and
twenty-five miles from Ghent. They
have advanced in the neighborhood
of seven miles since Monday morn
ing.
Americans Have Terrific Task
Fighting their way through maze
of barbed wire defenses and over
tangled lines of trenches the Amer
leans west of the Meuse river are
slowly but surely cutting their way
through the Kriemhild line. They
have carried hill POO, height which
dominates much OF the country west
of Romagne and have penetrated the
second line of defense in the vicin-
ity of Landres-St. George.
The battle in this area has been
of a most savage. nature and the
Germans are making every effort to
hold their positions. They under
stand the critical situation which has
developed there, and are pouring
fresh troops into the struggle in the
hope that the American onslaught
NAV be stayed before it reaches the
important railroad lines in the rear
Of the British front. A victory for
the Americans in the Argonne sector
would decide the fate OF Germany |
on the western front, and compel
general retreat by the enemy from
he most of the French ground he
still holds.
French and italian Drive.
French and Italian troops are
more slowly moving along the line
rom the Oise TO the Aisne than
hev did on Sunday when they wiped
,ut the greater part OF the Laon-La
9ere salient. From all accounts 1t
would appear that the Germans are
gradually emptying the pocket
ormed when the allies broke the
inc north of St. Quentin and along
he Aisne at Berry au Bac.
The French, however, have passed
;issons. formerly one of the con-
entration points for German troops
n this part of the front. General
iouraud's French army has crossed
he Aisne west OF Rethel and this
dvance would appear to render the
osition of the enemy further east
ather perilous. As the progress OF
he French in this region continues,
he Champagne sector seems to be
lowlv involved in another pocket
uch as has often forced a rapid re-
irement on various sectors of the
ne.

London Tuesday, Oct. l6.-That
President Wilson's note OF yester-
day is written in history and has
received virtually unanimous en-
idorsement from British newspapers
and public men who have comment
,ed upon it, it may be said that there
was considerable uneasiness while
the public was awaiting the presi-
dent 5 next move.
The presidents first note (making
inquiries of the German chancellor
,of his armistice proposaD led to
some apprehension that the presi
dent might commit America in his
reply to the German proposal to
some line of policy which the gov
lernments and peoples associated
with her against Germany could not
follow wholeheartedly. or that the
president might seem to speak for
The associated governments and by
smplicaton pledge them regarding
matters on which the other govern
,ments had not been consulted and
had not agreed.
The reply OF the president, how
,ever, instantly dissipated all such un-
leasiness, as is attested by the fervor
with which the note has been re-
iceiyed
The only lack of unanimity in
complete approval of the note is sup
piled by the Comparatively small
group of conciiatory journals some
times classed as "pacifists," which
display some symptoms of faint
'heartedness.

London, Oct. 16.-lmportant light
is thrown on the German point OF
view regarding its peace proposal
by careful reading of the mass OF
. German newspaper discussion which
has been received by the London

utterances that it was accepting

safe to infer from their comment
