With the American Forces on the

battle fought in the Franco German

last accounts. were advancing de-

il is understood to be the purpose N
the present case as was done with
Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey to
deal with the armistiCe as purely a
military issue between the military
commands
Should this procedure be followed it
is regarded here as probable that
several days may elapse while the
German general staff, now nominal
ly al least subordinate to the civil
government can consider the condi-
lions laid down and reach declS-
ion. There can be no argument as TO
the terms, no matter how harsh they
may appear to the Germans.
The only course left to Germany is
10 accept or reject them. Meantime
Marshal Foch is expected TO contln-
ue the pressure on the TeutoniC arms
which now threaten their safety
along a 2O0-mile front.
No announcement has yet been

With the American Forces on
the Sedan Front, 'Iov. 6.-The
crossing Of the river Mouse and
the capture Of the town of Dun
by the Americans may go down
in history with any similar deed.
When its full details are known it
will rank as one Of tho most gal.
liant feats Of the entire operations
northwest Of Verdun.
The troops who accomplished it
will be entitled to rank as heroes
for their work, as the crossing of
the stream was a strategic move
Of unusual daring.
The crossing involved the fore.
ing Of a way over the 16o- foot
river, a half wide stretch Of
mud and a 60.foot canal, in the
face Of a fri9htfuI enemy fire.
1t also involved swimming by
those who knew how and the
pulling Of others over on ropes.
Graphing ironse were used to
scale the sheer walls Of the canal
along which machine ounners had
been posted under the fire Of
scores Of batteries from the hills
adjoining.
