People Cautioned.
 Although on it's face the text Of the German note seems to be complete acceptance of Presi.
 dent Wilson's terms, the people of the United States and the allied countries should be eau.
 tioned against accepting it as such a compliance of the PreSi.
 dents demands as will mean
 immediate cessation of hostifi- ties. .1
 As lPresident Wilson was in New York Tonight, and reserved comment on the note, his views cannot be stated now and none of his official family here in Washington cared to speak for him.
 Not End of War.
 Without any attempt to discount what appeared to be, at a casual reading, an acceptance of the terms the President has laid down, officials here were very positive as not ac- cepting the German note as a docu- ment which means the end of the war
 It needs to be examined and fully
 
 American government can be stated
 Allies Have A Say.
 Should President Wilson finally decide that there is enough sinceri- ty in Germany's proposition to trans init it to the allies, as the German chancellor requested. lit should be bclne in mind that Great Britain, France and the other entente nations must be taken into consideration for discussion then as to whether an armistice should be granted or whether discussion should be under taken to carry out the details of the application of President Wilson's peace terms.
 People Must Reserve Decision. The greatest danger facing the people of the United States officials saiG here tonight was that they might hastily consider Germany's pro- position as the unconditional surren- der which the co-belligerents de- mand and relax their efforts to con- tinue the victories at arms and carry over the Fourth Liberty loan.
 On every side in official quarters it was that that this view of the situation could not 1e placed before the public too strongly.
 Who Is The Government.
 Conceding that possibly the propo- sal for an armistice might be adopt ed, and that the German acceptance of President Wilson's peace Aerms might be satisfactory, the question, in the opinion of officials and diplo- mats here would center in "who is the present German government" If the present German government is the government of HOhenzollern there seems no doubt here that the German reply will be unacceptable. All official Washington was at a complete loss to understand the text of the note becoming public in this way.
 Received Accidentally.
 Neither the State Department nor the Swiss Legation which is looking after German interests. had received the reply and it was very evident tf.at it had been made public through faux pas.
 There was, however, no attempt to dispute it's authenticity and diplo- mats to whom the dispatch should have been sent could not express re- gret that the despatch had been made public.
 Call Newspaper Men.
 Early this evening the newspaper correspondents. were summoned by telephone to the offices of the diplo- matic mission. where many diploma tic dispatches are received every day. An attache there gave out copies of the despatch in the regular way. hearing the usual distinguishing marks.

Attempt to Slow Advance.

l AUCCupC CO OlOW AuVdNCes
 The enemy today began an attempt to slow. up the Anglo-American ad- vance on the main battle front. All i the bridges across the river Selle from Le Cateau southward were blown up and the Germans seem to have been digging in furiotsly along the line of the high ground some g. 900 to 4,000 yards east of the river l which already have been crossed by the British and Americans at several places. Apparently the Germans in- tend to make stand here. Gain The Crossings. In this locality all of today's opera tions have been devoted to gaining the river crossings and establishing firm footing on the east bank. There has been sharp machine gun fighting and the Germans, from the high ground of La Cateau, have pour- ed a heavy fire upon upon the west bank of the river.
 As soon as the Americans and the cavalry entered St. Souple south of Le Cateau, they came under heavy fire from the German gun concentra- tion. It is reported that the enemy gunners fired their weapons here over open sights. Luckily their aims was not as good as it might have been.
 South of here the British and French have driven deeply intoo the enemy territory and the French now control a long strip of the west bank of the Disc canal. British advanced patrols also had reached the canal bank at Longchamps but thief had made too rapid progress and conse- quently returned.
 The British now are operating we'll on the other side of the Scarpe river, and have reached positions less than 1-2 miles from the im- portant center of Douai. The troops are driving northeasterly toward this city and at the same time are Widening the already wide salient which has been made in the former German positions. There gre strong indications that the ermans realize they must get out of the entire Douai salient.
 Huns ssDlg In."
 It was during last night that the first reports that the ermans were digging in were received and these were confirmed today. By midday the enemy seemed to have c0ntinu- ous line all the way from a point southeast of La Cateau sOuthward in front of Mennevret and east of Grongis, while in AisOnville and the area near it, fires were burning briskly
 The enemy is by no means sure of holding to his quickly arranged line for any length of time, as it cffers little protection being simply a scratch on the surface, probably protected by few strands of wire. The airplanes report that the re- treat is in progress far back of the present location of the enemy
 The British aviators have become fatigued with the labor of killing Germans. During the last "A hours they have hundreds of thousands of rounds from their machine guns and dropped hundreds of tons of bombs on targets it was impossible to miss.

ANNEXATION PASSES
SENATE BY IS TO 9
Senator Andrews Votes For SnneN;l-
ton Bill of Greater Baltimore ~
eue-Goyernor VIII Either Sign
Or Veto Bill in Six Days

State House, Annapolis, Marcn Y.
The Nonpartisan Greater Baitl-
more City Extension Bill is tonight
snugly stored away in the sale OF
Governor Harrington. 1t was re-
turned today to the House by | the
Senate, which passed it at a late houl
last night, and, after being placed in
proper shape was passed up to the
Governor
That the Governor will sign the
bill there is no doubt While he de
clines to make a public statement re-
garding his intention, ne has pri-
vately stated to his friends that he
will give it his approval, though he
would have preferred the Campbell
substitute. Like other Democratic
leaders, he is anxious that the whole
annexation question shall be settled
and thus put out of the way before
the next State campaign comes on.
When the bill arrived in the House
this afternoon among batch OF 9TH
er bills from the Senate, the Balti-
more county contingent made an eff
fort to secure an immediate adjourn
ment. Their purpose was to delay
until Monday the delivery of the bill

if the desired delay could have been
secured it would be within the pow
er of the Governor. if he so desired
to give the bill a pocket veto after
the adjournment of the General AS
sembly. With the> bill now in his
hands he must sign or veto it before
final adjournment on Monday OF
week after next. Senators and dele
gates and others from Baltimore and
Anne Arundel counties will bring
their greatest pressure upon the Gov
ernor.
1t was to prevent a pocket veto
that quick action was taken. The
bill was returned to the House this
morning and the Baltimore county
delegation sought to forestan the
plan of the friends of the measure to
have it put up to the Executive.
Speaker Wooden, however, alive to
the situation succeeded in check
mating this move and the bill was
in readiness for the Executive imme-
diately after the House adjourned.
Speaker Wooden accompanied
Chief Clerk Robinson to the execu-
tive chamber, when he was ready tC
present the bill, and the measure was
presented to the Governor in regular
order. The Executive smilingly said
it was hardly necessary to have any
formality about the proceeding, but
the Speaker thought it best. The
Governor thereupon insisted that the

You Must Sell Yourself

Life is a selling problem, that is all;

And what the price is, big or very

He's got to learn to make his value

That doesn't mean that he must boast

complied with, and he instructed the
Chief Clerk to receipt for the bill.
At the same time, the Wilson Bal
lot Repeal Bill was placed before
him, 50 that bOth measures must be
acted upon before adjournment. 1t
IS the concensus OF opinion thaJ the
Governor will sign both bills but he
