[ From the New York Sun.

We have not the means of verifying
the estimate of the brewers that TO- 900
saloons in this city will go out of bust
ness next month because of the Execu-
tive ban on beer, but the figure is round
and fascinating and suggestive.
Ten thousand bartenders would be
welcome in essential industry, if not in
the army.
Ten thousand hardwood bars could be
turned into gun stocks, ships furniture
and peace conference tables.
Ten thousand sets of mirrors, placed
in the cantonments, would add to the
JOY of the man putting on his first suit
of olive drab.
Ten thousand brass footrails would be
received by the shell factories with loud
cheers.
Ten thousand groups of private
stock" bottles could be used as ketchup
containers.
Ten thousand bungstarters could be
adapted to shipyard use for the driving
home of wooden keys. One of these in
teresting weapons might be sent to the
Historical Society.
Ten thousand states, after careful

WEEKLY REVIEW OF WAR

President Wilson has met the peace
offer forwarded by Prince Macmillan,
the new German chancellor, who pro-
posed an armistice while President
Wilson considered and conveyed to
the allies a proposal on the basis OF
terms laid down by the president
himself in his speech July 4 at Mt.
Vernon, Va, and particularly his New
York speech on Sept. 27. The presi-
dent has directed Secretary Lansing
to send a note to Berlin to test Ger
many's sincerity.
Declining to propose an armistice
while the armies Of the central pow
ers remain on invaded soil, the pres
ident called on the German chancel-
lor to state, as an absolutely neces-
sary preliminary to a reply from the
entente allies and the United States,
whether Germany accepts the princ1-
pies of peace as repeatedly laid down
or merely proposes to accept them
"as the basis of negotiation" .and
whether the chancellor merely speaks
for the German military masters con-
ducting the war or the whole German
people.
The week witnessed the further re-
tirement Of the enemy along the
western front. Lens, ST. Quentin and
Armentieres we're among the German
strongholds that fell into the allies
hands. The British between st.
Quentin and Cambria materially
pressed eastward from the region OF
LIE Catelet, and to the north improved
their positions around Cambria so
we'll that apparently this important
town soon must fall.
Around Rheims the French further
extended their gains north and north

they are all along the Aisne canal
