Germans Face
X Ketre at as
Bastions Fall
Defeats on Wide Front and
Pershing's Drive May
Force Withdrawal

WASHINGTON, Sept 29.-Continued
and increasing pressure by Marshal
foch along virtually the whole West
orn front, from Verdun to the North
Sea, has brought the Gemans face 10
lace with a critical situation, in the
opinion of observers here. With the
enemy main defence position--thc Hin
denburg line-shattered in several
places, his secondary line TO the eas5,
the Kriemhild position. punctured and
his own official reports admitting with
drawals on all fronts, there is a grow
ing possibility, it is thought, of ser,-
Gus disaster.
French troops are over the Chemln
des Danes barrier on a wide front. and
as they are now pressing on the flank
OF the retreating Germans 10 the south
and west, the situation in the centre or
the great German defensive arch an
peared to observers as most critical.
The collapse of the whole Laon bastion
on which the vast Hndenburg limo
hangs Tor support was believed TO be
foreshadowed
Ianfs Aid in Drive
Further north, British, Belgian and
American troops are smashing through
interviewer trench systems and across

ton ut rate that showed the des-
perate straits of the enemy 20 find men

can be looked for from that direction.
On the Meuse General Pershine's
new Kreimhild line with the capture OF
Romogne. The Hindenburg position al
ready is behind the Americans on their
wrolc front. and to their left the
french also have sweep over the enemy
defences on wide sector.
An examination Oh tl.a map tonight
shows that the Hindcnburg line had
been smashed in at least six different
places. There seemed no possibility
that the Germans could cling to the
fragments that remained for more than
a matter of hours. Cambrai, st. Quen-
TN, La fcrc and ST. Gobain Forest, it
seemed, might be engulfed by the tide
OF Allied and American soldiers at any
moment, although it may prove neces-
saIy to pass them for later occupation,

ton was the French sweep toward

Mangin's men who have cleared the
wide plateau on the western end OF

enemy down through the valley beyond.
Of even deeper significance is the cor
tlnued swift progress CT Pershins'5 ;
forces along the heights of the Meuse
and OH wide front 20 the west OF the
river.
To most observers this thrust has
the greatest potential menace for the
enemy, and the whole titanic offensive

Sea IS viewed as a single battle, in

relied upon to carry forward ? threat

LONDON, Sept. 29.~Peace will come
measurably nearer this week. The
political situation is changing 80 rapid
ly that anything is now possible, and
those who forecasted peace this Christ
mas may sec part of their expectations
realized.
Bulgaria's plea for an armistice may
very easily lead to a separate peace
and the early retirement Of Turkey
from the war. There is a tendency
here to move cautiously in handling
Bulgaria's application, but there is no
nistaking the extreme satisfaction
with which it is received.
In most quarters the belief is eX-
pressed that the fighting in the Near
Fast is in its last stages. That the
hrst break in the enemy front should
come in the Near East must be highly
gratifying to Lord Milncr, War Secrc-
tarv. who, despite strong opposition,
persistently held to his firm bclief IN
the wisdom of pounding the Turks and
Bulgars 1t is unlikely there VIII be
an immediate cessation of hostilitles
even against the Bulgariars, but Bull
garia soon will be eliminated as an
enemy. =,
Malinof's action is now generally,
known throughout Germany, and
though Berlin declares it will be DIS.
avowed by development of affairs
and rcpudated when the Sobranzi
meets Monday, the German ruling class
appreciates thoroughly that Ferdinand
has deserted the Teutonic Alliance.
Both Germany and Austria, according
to Foreign Minister Hintze, have
rushed rcinforccments to Bulgaria,
but he is forced to admit that this
step was taken with little expectation
of Its success.
Meanwhile Allied troops are moving
further into Bulgaria, enemy armies
are being pinched off, and Allied states
men are considering the terms upon
which they are prepared to treat with
Ferdinand's government. Ferdinand
evidently tried to placate Germany
while taking a friendly step toward the
Entente. He fooled Germany's leaders
temporarily, but the Allies. who hold
the upper hand, were not caught nap
ming Ferdinand admits Germany is
beaten in the West. That is a heavy
blow to enemy morale.
Ferdinand indorsed the Austrian
peace note in an unexpected manner

High praise is being given to General
objected the campaign against the Bull

he has handled political aftermath.
Reports received here state that Bull
garia's population is highly excited and
that unless Malnotf's application is
granted the government will be unable
to control the people.
AS a belligerent Bulgaria can now be
counted out. This statement will need
no qualification in another week. The

that they are il nonority, though
their influence is large. If Wilson's
programme is accepted, it means con-
siderable sacrifice sn the part Of some
members Of the Entente. but the
majority believe hese sacrifices will
make for a better world. The league
of nations schem IS The biggest politi-
cal topic under discussion to-day. There
are many schemes. out Fundamentally
they are the same. Wilson'S scheme
has the support of all liberal forces
