lis the enemy's intention to abandon
the Kriemhild line. which has been
badly sliced by our attacks of the past
fortnight, are accommodating. There
is as yet no definite evidence of such
developments, but the German stra-
tegical plight all along the front and
their general retirement from the Bel

weight to the theory that they will

Strong Positions Yielded.
In evacuating Loges Wood, border

Bantheville Wood further to the east,
the foe has sacrificed naturally strong
positions without a struggle. Our in
fantry has refrained from entering
the former because dense clumps of
timber are still chock full of mustard
gas, but we have pressed on to the
northern edges of Bartheville Wood
without hearing n hostile bullet.
These local Withdrawals, being ac-

Washington, Oct. 24.-Successful
British operations on the Valenciennes
front took on new importance TO Off
GERS here today in the light of the Dip
lomatic situation. Field Marshal
Haig's armies are striking savagely
at the hinge of the present Garman
line of resistance and the progress al
ready made is thought by officers here
to make it certain that the German re-
tirement both in Belgium and in
France will have to be resumed with
out delay.
South of the new British wedge the
French are keeping continuous pres
sure against the enemy along the
Oise-Serre front, making 1t difficult
for the German commanders to olsen
gage their forces from this most OK
posed sector of their lines. Success OF
the British effort, however, which
now seems assured, would compel a
precipitate evacuation of the Disc
Serre salient, it is believed, for the
communication system of that front
would be threatened from the flank
and rear.

WATCH ALLIES Of
GE ERMANY UNLESS
KAISER ENDS WAR
London Dipomats Declare
Presidents Terms So Sc
we're Acceptance Will Mean
Gerrany'S Cause Hopeless,

London, Oct. 24-The popular COM
ment on the presidents note here is
that it contains the strongest lam
guage ever addressed by the head of
one great nation to another in mod
ern times. The note is welcomed
first because it brings matters to a
new state; further proceedings, IL
there are to be further proceedings
will be in the hands of all the gov
ernments interested. Hitherto. so far
as the public knows. the nations as
sociated with the United States and
which have more at stake perhaps
than has the United States. have been
onlookers to the correspondence.
The note is welcomed, secondly, be-
cause it promises to bring the season
of discussion to an end altogether,
one way or the other. No one sees
how the German chancellor. Prince
Max, can fail either to accept Presi-
dent Wilson's platform or reject it.
Acceptance will be taken to mean that
the Germans regard their position as
hopeless and that disaster is immi-
nent
Germans Expected to Fight.
The general opinion is that Ger
many's military position Is not so bad,
but that her leaders will fight on. if
only with the hope of creatingi divis-
ion among the allies. which has been
Germany's reliance of late.
Watch Germany's allies if she de-
cides to go on with the war" is the
suggestion among diplomats here.
Austria shows no intention of re-
naming the tail to the German kite.
The Austrian premier said yesterday
that the separate correspondence be-
gun with President Wilson would be
continued. Germany's course, there
| fore, need have no effect upon Aus
trias and it Will be no surprise to
| Britain if Austria and Turkey both
plow their own peace burrows if Ger
many persists in the war.
One report current today was that
| the associated nations would imma.
| diately form a joint diplomatic staff
and that Colonel House would repre-
sent the United States A majority OF
the newspapers have urged the gov
ernment to announce its peace terms
| in common with the other allied
| powers, and considers such an an.
nouncement overdue.

May Force Big Retreat.

ReductlOn or the OiSe- Scrre salient
would mean rectification of the lines
probably as far east as the Argonne,
observers believe, and coupled with
the Franco-Ameriean pounding there
and on the Meuse, the British adj
vances of today and yesterday possibly
foreshadows the retreat of the enemy
to the Meuse line If that retirement
is delayed much longer, it was said
there Is strong probability that the
British working eastward from Va
lenciennes will gather in prisoners,
guns and stores in large numbers lat
er on.
In view of the existing military sit
uation, officers pointed out that every
day was seeing the allied tactical
strategy superiority increased even as
their superiority in man and gun pow
er is increasing. Since President VIII
son has already pointed out to the
German authorities that the safe
guarding and guaranteeing of that sl-
periority must be the basis Of any
armistice agreement, a proposition the
German leaders accepted with the
statement that standard of military
power in the field" must Of necessity
govern such terms, it is clear that the
conditions of the armistice to be
formulated grew increasingly hard Oh
the enemy each day. The ADVANTAGES
In position derived from the latest
British thrust, officers said. certainly
would not be overlooked in estimating
the situation of the opposing forces.
Big Things Pending.
More than ever officers are con-
vinced that new operations on a large
scale are impending on the front and
that General Pershing's two aggres-
sive young armies soon will try then
mettle again. There are many minor
happenings that seem to indicate tc
these observers that a smashing blow
is in preparation, although the extent
or object of it is only matter OF
speculation.
Added to the purely military consid-
eratfons that would seem to urge some
such renewed effort before winter
comes, there is now the incentive pre-
sented by the fact that armistice terms
may soon be formulated. The readi'
ness of the German authorities to ac-
cept those terms will be greatly in
creased, 1t Is pointed out. II their line
is further broken and the evacuation
upon which they are engaged rendered
increasingly difficult and full Of peril

The terms laid down by the presl-
dent for an armistice were said to be
without precedent in the history or
warfare. Usually an armistice is de-
fined as suspension of hostilities for
certain specified purposes, such as
peace negotiations, and involves sim
ply the maintenance of the status quo
on each side. But the president has
laid down the demand that the armis-
tice should make It Impossible for the
