Austrian Armistice Closes Source of
Gasoline to Germany.

Germany's supply of fuel oil and
gasoline is cut off by the Austrian
armistice, according to information in
the hands of the Fuel Administration.
The German supply has been coming

was planning to import extensively
from the fields in the Caucasus. With
the Austrian borders closed to her,
all these supplies will be stopped.
Supplies of lubricating oil will also
be curtailed. She has been using a
derivative of coal tar, benzol, but

have the honor to request you
to transmit the following COM
munication to the German gov
ernment:
In my note of october %, 1918.
I advised you that the President
lad transmitted his correspond
ence with the German authorities
to the governments with which
the government of the United
States is associated as a belliger-
ent, with the suggestion that. IL
those governments were disposed
to effect peace upon the terms
and principles indicated, their
military advisers and the mil
itary advisers of the United
States be asked to submit to the
governments associated against
Germany the necessary terms of
such an armistice as would fully
protect the interests of the peo-
pies involved and insure to the
associated governments the un-
restricted power to safeguard
and enforce the details of the
peace to which the German gov
ernment had agreed, provided
they deemed such an armistice
possible from the military point
of view.
Allied Memorandum.
The President is now in receipt
of a memorandum of observations
by the allied governments on this
correspondence, which is as fol-
lows:
The allied governments have
given careful consideration to the
correspondence which has passed
between the President of the
United States and the German
government. Subject to the quaIi-
fications which follow they declare
their willingness to make peace
with the government of Germany
on the terms of peace laid down
in the Presidents address to Con-
gress of January, 1918. and the prin-
ciples of settlement enunciated in
his subsequent addresses. They
must point out, however, that
clause 2, relating to what is usu-
ally described as the freedom of
the seas, Is open to various inter
pretations. some of which they
could not accept. They must.
therefore, reserve to themselves
complete freedom on this subject

SIR EDWARD CARSON REGRETS

London. - All address to President

AND
500 GUNS CAPTURED
DEFENSE Is STIFFENiNG ALL
ALONG BATTLE FRONT FROM
NOYON TO CHAULNES.
MANY OFFICERS CAPTURED
Germans Are Reacting Violently in
Region of Lihons, Which Changed
Hands Twice During Night
Now Held BY the British.

Paris, = The Germans are holding
the Chaulnes- RoyeNoyon line, but the
allies are making progress south of
Noyon. The ehemys reserves are
coming into action and the defense is
stiffening all along the battle front
from Noyon to Chaulnes.
Desperate fighting is going on be-
tween the British army of General
Rawlinson and the German army Of
Won Der MarwitZ, The enemy Is
communicating savagely west OF
Noyon and seems determined to hold
the town at all costs.
The number of prisoners taken SO
far in the allied offensive in Picardy
is now estimated at $4,000 including
more than 1000 officers. More than
500 guns have been captured, accord,
ing to the latest advices.
The pivot of the German resistance
at this stage of the battle, 1t now
appears, is the town OF Noyon about
midway between Montdidier and Sois-
son. The enemy is throwing in re-
serves from this base in an effort to
prevent, regardless of cost, the al
lies from gaining control of the Noy-
on-Ham road, which is choked with
material, guns and troops.
The resistance of the Germans is
stiffening against the Fourth British
army under General Rawlinson. They
are reacting violently in the region
of Lihons, which changed hands twice
during the night, but which this morn
ing was firmly held by the British.
All the bridges across the Somme
between Peronne and Ham, a stretch
of about fifteen miles, have been de-
stroyed by allied apiators. The Ger
mans have been attempting to throw
temporary bridges across the stream
and the allied airmen are now sys-
tematically bombing these imprcvised
structures
All the morning reports show ex-
IRENE confusion among the enemy
forces in their precipitate retreat.
Among the prisoners taken are gen
erals, colonies and officers of all
grades. Eleven divisions of Generals
Won Hutier and Won Marwitz have
been identified by prisoners taken.

ALLIES CAPTURE
$4,000 PRISONERS
BETWEEN 200 AND 300 GUNS HAVE
BEEN CAPTURED ON SOMME-
ANCRE FRONT.

London.-An official communique IS
sued says that 1900 prisoners and
between 200 and 300 guns have been
captured on the Somme-Ancre front.
An uneonfirmed report reaching LoEt
don says the British troops are now
north and south railroad line, midway
between Montdidier and Albert.
Most of the prisoners and guns cap
tured by the British were taken in the
narrow triangle between the Roye and
Peronne roads. British tanks advane=
ed with great rapidity up these roads,
They were followed promptly by in
fantry and thousands of Germans
within the triangle found themselves
well behind the British line when the
attack reached them, SO they laid
down their arms.
Chaulnes Junction, which is most
important from the point of view OF
transport, is now the objective upon
which the eyes of the allies are fixed
fire and its fall would be embarrass-
ing to the Germans over wide area.
There was very heavy fghtiag
around Simplify on the north bank OF
trying to hold up the British advance
by striking a determined blow at the
advancing troops. The British did no.
succeed in holding ali the ground they
had gained in this district, but mean
while the advance continues further
southwark and the situation around
Chaulnes is becoming more dubious
for the Germans.
Canadian troops have captured War
villers, about 1~2 miles south of Ros-
Arvillers, to the southwest OF Warvil-
lers and seven miles from Roye. The
Germans recaptured Chapilly, north OF
the Somme, by strong counter-at-
tack. The Canadians have taken the
town OF Beaufort, 1-2 miles SOUTH
west of Rosieres. The Australians are
Sighting further north along the
Somme.
Another important result of the s.d-
vance is that it has freed the Amiens-
Paris railroad for use by the allies
again. This line heretofore has been
within easy range of the German
guns and the restriction thus placed
on its use had been considerable
handicap to allied communications A
similar freeing of the Paris-Verdun
line was one of the first important re-
suits of the recent advance on the
Marine.

Washington. - Maj Gen. William
IS, Graves, commanding the Eighth Di-
vision at Camp Fremont, Cal, haa
been assigned to command American
troops ordered to Siberia, Gen March,
chief of staff, announced.
The nucleues of the American forces
sent to Siberia, Gen. March sad,
would be the Twenty-seventh ana
Thirty-first regular regiments, on duty
in the Philippines, which would he
supplemented later by troops from
the United States,
The object of the expedition is con
fined strictly to the announcement
made recently by President Wilson
through the State Department, Gen.
March added, and is not for the p0r-
pose of establishing an eastern front.
No commander for the joint allied
forces in Siberia has yet been select
ed, Gen. March said, nor the neces-
sary agreement for the appointment
og such a commander formulated,
No announcement as to the sailing
of the expedition or of Gen. Graves
will be made, but news of the arr.
val of the forces will be made public
promptly when received,
Referring to the Situation on the
western front, Gen. March pointed our
that the terrain between the Vesle
and the Aisne lends itself to defen-
sive operations of which the Germans
are taking full advantage The
Americans and allied troops are along
the line of the Vesle, he said, and
have crossed that river at many
points, although they have not taken
the hill positions.
The old Aisne-Marne salient has
been completely fsttened out between
SCISSORS and Rheims, Gen. March
said, but he added nothing to what is
already known as to prisoners cap,
tured or material abandoned by the
enemy.
Replying to a question, Gen March
said the Twenty sixth Division, which
started its combat training in the
Woevre sector, north of Toul, in June,
arrived in the Marine salient on July
is, and participated in the capture of
Epieds on July 22. He could not in.
dictate specifically what divisions
were holding Fismes, the former Ger
man base on the Vesle, saying that
four American divisions were in the
line there.
