GREAT STRUGGLE GOING
 ON AROUND THE KAISER

Paris, Nov. 3-"There can be no doubt says the Temps, that a great struggle is going on around the Ger man emperor's person between the in fiuences which caused the war and wish to maintain the old regime and the partisans of a new regime, more or less democratic, and of a peace for the purpose of repairing Germany's strength.
 By returning 10 general headquar- ters, Emperor William seemed to show clearly that his supreme desire vas not to abdicate. So. the emperor's s rcscript promises cooperation, not his resignation But parliamentary exi- =encies press upon him, even amidst his stah which exhorts him not to yield. Submission is not sufficient; he is summoned with more or less deference to resign"

Austria Hungary is out of the war.
 Deserted by her last ally, Germany lights alone a battle which means ul- innate defeat or abject surrender.
 After days of pleading, an armis- fire has been granted Austria Hun @arr. whose badly defeated armies in the Italian theatre are staggering homcward under the violence of the tlovs of the entente troops
 Trent in Austrian Tyrol. which the Italians always have claimed as their own. has been captured by them; Triest Austr.a's principal seaport on the Adriati-. over which there has hecn such litter fighting, now flies ihe Italian Gag; and Belgrade, capital 1f Serhia, has been reoccupied by the Scrbians
 In France and Belgium the Ger mans are being sorely harlssed by the British. French. Americans and Bel =ians. mad there are indications that a debacle is about to occur.
 The Argonne massif which has proved a great obstacle to the advance of the French and Americans, at last has been cleared of the enemy, and Inc entire line appears 10 be crumb- ling. American airmen report that the enemy in front of the Americans are retreating northward; that the roads are densely packed with troops, ar tilleTy and transport.
 Likewise southeast of Nalencien- ues the Germans are retrea.ing before he British who are in close pursuit and taking numerous prisoners. North of the Aisne in Champagne the Trench continue their pressure and have taken several important villages large numbers of prisoners and great quantities Of war stores.
 The advance If the Americans and lrenchmen on the southern part of he battle fnont, taken in conjunction with the operations of Field Marshal iIsig and the Belgians in the north threatens to prove the eliminating blow 10 Germany's attempts to hold cround in France or Belgium. Indeed it is not improbable if the advance from the south continues as rapid as t Is, the greater portion of the Ger man army will be trapped before the men can reach their border. The situ- ton of the Germans seemingly is a rritical one.
 Although the Austro- Hungarians Have been given an armistice they still are being bitterly attacked by the Italians. British. French American ani Czecho- -Slovak troops in the mountains and on the plains. and will continue under chastisement until
