escape.
The Illinois soldiers helped them-
selves to the Germans lunch OF p9rk,
red cabbage and black bread. Seven
kegs of beer. a supply OF wine and
German typewriter were found in
the dugout.
It is evident the Germans estimate
fully the nature OF the American ef-
fort and are hurrying up all availa-
bic resources. This is true not only
of the enemy artillery and infantry.
but also Of the air forces During the
day German airplanes began appear
ing over the American lines. the as
sumption being that these machines
had been Withdrawn from other
fronts in an effort TO minimize the
American supremacy of the last few
days.
The weather conditions were far
from favorable for the airmen, so
that little could be accomplished, but
the American aviators. with charac-
teristic enterprise, more than held the
upper hand.
During the day the chief activity OF
the Americans was in holding and
consolidating their positions in the
face of heavy counter-attacks, espc-
cially on the debatable ground north
and west OF Montfaucon. In the
heavily wooded ground OF the Ar
gonne. west OF the forest itself. the
lighting became reduced TO mere
bushwhacklng tactics. THIS Is n sorm
OF warfare In which the Americans,
with their individual initiative, are
second to none. Thus, although num-
erous small bodies OF Germans infil-
trated through the lines towards the
American rear the Americans we're
easily able to take care of them.
To what extent the Germans have
been compelled by the turn OF the
events TO change their plans is shown
by a battalion order Just captured.
1t says tersely: "The troops are re-
minded that our present position Is
our winter position" The regiment
at the time this dictum was issued
was in the line below Cambria. There
seems to have been general Jug
Cling of the German forces.
Numerous observers have reported
a general movement, especially across
the Meuse, westward from Brieulles.
Its direction is along the river to-
wards the north and then towards
the apex OF the American line.
Many Germans struggled in to-day
and gave themselves up. Instead OF
waiting to be captured they deliber-
| ately sought some one to whom they
could surrender. Al one point seven
ty-hve Germans were captured when
a small American detachment ap.
peared in front OF them and began
shooting point blank. The Germans
] promptly threw up their hands.

RUTHLESS BURNING
OF FRENCH CITIES

Allies Urge the United States
to Send an Ultimatum to
Germany.

WASHINGTON. oct. Am ulti-
ma,um TO Germany regarding the
ruthless destruction OF cities and pri-
vate property IN Northern France
and Belgium is being urged ON the
Allies and the United States and is
under consideration.
The burning Of Cambrai and st.
Quentin and the devastation of one
Of the most populous regions OF
Europe as the Germans retreat, has
aroused great Indignation and 1t was
said in diplomatic circles to-day that
Germany would be warned soon that
If she allows the work OF destruction
to continue, severe reprisal will fol-
low.
II is suggested that the cities OF the
Rhine should be marked for destruc-
ton and the Berlin Government told
that for every French and Belgian
city ruined without military reason a
city equally important and valuable
sentimentally and materially will bc
laid waste.
Since reprisals by bombardment
have caused the Germans to discon
tinue TO "a great extent their air at.
tacks on defenseless communities, II
is felt here that "A similar warninl
might be effective in bringing HON,

President James Buchanan died 6 bachelor. The story of the tragedy that caused him not to marry was brought out during the debate in the house of representatives on a motion to erect a monument to Buchanan In Washington. Gen. Isaac R. Sherwood of Ohio told the story as he heard 1t from a friend of Buehanan's at the White House forty years ago.
 Tn his youth James Buchanant heart was won by the charms of the beautiful Miss Anna c. Coleman, who, like himself, resided in Lancaster, Pa, said General Sherwood. "Fhey were soon betrothed and were counted the handsomest couple In all the country around. Some time after the engage ment had been announced MT. Buchan an was obliged to go out of town on a business trip. On his return he stopped in to see Mrs. William Jen-' kins, who was entertaining a Miss Oracle Hubley, daughter of General Hubley, an officer of the revolutionary war.
