Altho the White House gates were

the president himself unconsciously
contributed confirmation to the belief
of the people that war was over when
he appeared on the front portico of

cheering, shouting, singing throngs of

never returned to their work.

London, VS. british Admiralty
Wireless) The Times's war cores
pondent said:
THE magnitude of the victory OF
last weekend becomes every day
more apparent. For a month or more
the enemy has been retreating on the
line of the Meuse. bit now he has
reached the last stage of his journey
The surest sign of our victory is that
his last stage has been more rapid
than his first.
"a month ago 1t seemed possible
that the Germans in France might be
, completely enyeloped from the east
and west.
'I was then that General Luden-
dorff who had set the peace negotia-
tions in motion, drew back because he
then thought the German armies could
be extricated without disaster
"Now the prosr ect for the German
armies has darkened again. Whereas
a week ago, most people would have
prophesied that the Germans would
escape without irretrievable disaster,
ruin again stares them in the face.
Only One Working.
What we are witnessing now is the
destruction of the system of railway
communication which tempted the
enemy into Belgium. The net result
these railway lines, onlshthe one down
the valley of the Meuse is working.
Two are lost and of the remainder, the
one thru the Meuse valley-is threat
en- and the other, Metz railway, is
working in lnection with a different
base, so that the east and west wings
of the German armies are now
separated.
Mouth Is Narrowing.
1.-THE outh' of the pocket IS now
narrowing, and from Avesnes east OF
the Normal forest, to Mezieres, where
the Meuse railway enters the cover OF
the Ardennes, the distance is between
fifty and sixty miles, Thru this mar
row passage, the who of the German
armies now in France have to squeeze
and there is only one railway in this
r-gion which is working freely. In
other words, the waist of the German
hnes-say between Lille and Verdun-
has been compressed to one-third OF
its former dimensions. That gives
some idea of the agonJ thru which the
German army is now passing.
Nor is the worst of the compress
sion over. The enemy. for very good
reasons, held out on. the line of the
Aisne as long as he could. That line
is now lost on its whole length, thanks
to the renown activity OF the French
and the recovery of the American
army from its transportation difficult
ties and the real squeeze of the Ger
man army is only just beginning.
Worst still, the bottle neck thru
which 1t is passing is a, narrowing one
and congestion. instead of decreasing
will tighten. 1t may even be doubted
whether the Meuse line will be tena-

United States Hears1t.
Washington, Nov. S-The American
government was notified just before
noon today that Marshal Foch had re-
ceived the German delegates seeking
armistice terms behind the French
lines at 9 o'clock this morning, Paris
time.
In announcing that the conference
which may end the war had begun.
the state department disclosed that the
German ENJOYS after reading the sur
render terms handed them would be
allowed brief time to consider
whether they must communicate with
Berlin, and then would be given sew
enty-two hours in which to reply if
they required a decision from Berlin.
Anxiety among officials of the gov
ernment today over the renewal of
wild, premature peace demonstrations,
started Thursday by the false report
Of the signing of an armistice, almost
equaIled interest in the outcome of
the conference.s
Everywheer it is believed the Ger
mans are beaten, and that their sur
render cannot long be delayed. Word
that the drastic conditions under
which the American and allid advance

awaited with calm confidence.

reply.
We'll. / am ready to repudiate that
caucus tonight and 10 take the con
sequences before the people, an
nounced Mr.. Levy. The Third Ward
Alderman then went into some detail
as 10 the efforts made 10 induce him
to change his position and vote for
Mr.. Melvin. He then told of having
been taken into the rear Office of a
member of the House of Delegates
and there being told first, Now, John,

Elk" This plea TO fraternal order
loyalty was then followed Mr.. Levy
said, by a request that he vote for Mr..
Melvin for the presidency. He was
promised, he said. that if he would do
so. the Duvall bill would not be intro
duced.
Mr.. Levy then went on TO say that
the preponderance of sentiment in An
napolis is against the reelection OF
Mr.. Melvin. and asserted that there is
no question that some of the members
still voting for him were doing 50
against their best judgment. He an
nounced that at least one of the five
men voting for Mr. Melvin had gone
to persons in Annapolis and asked to
be released from his promise 10 sup
port Mr.. Melvin.
Touching upon the political side of
the question and the cry of loyalty to

himself a Democrat. can allow every
Democratic officer and official in this
city to be jeojardized just to get him
