DESPERATE HUNS
PREPARE TO FIGHT
T0LAST DITCH NOW
Every German Who Can Bear

By william Philip simnls

Paris, Oct. 9-The German armies
today are attempting the most desper.
ate resistance of the war.
They have been commanded to hold
or die, to give the allies the impress
sion they have not yet been beaten,
while Berlin proceeds with its truce
plot.
In default of sufficient field artil.
lery, the Huns are massing all avail

high velocity guns at critical points
in their efforts to stop the slow, cease
less allied advances while from Russia,
the Ukraine and the east generally ev-
cry possible German soldier is being
hurried into the wars bloody nav in
the west.
Hospitals throughout Germany have
been raked of nearly-fit convalescents.
Reports have been received here that
a levee en- masse would be attempted
in the event that President Wilson s
reply to the armistice proposal was un.
favorable, as last resort to prevent
total collapse of the empire.
1t is also reported that Belgian ci-
villains are being forced to work on
line after line of defenses about Os-
tend, Zeebrugge and Pruges, indicat-

doing the same between Rheims and
Verdun.
Short Of guns, ammunition, air

frenziedly shunting what he has from
this point to that, fighting an ever-in.

The feeling is rapidly crystallizing
that the central powers foreseeing
their doom just ahead, are stalking all
on a race between the Prussian gener-
ais and the results Of Prince Max's
proposal.
Everything points to general re-
treat, perhaps to the Metz-Namur-
Antwerp line. German critics openly
invite the higher command to take i'm
mediate steps to shorten the front, re-

have to give up, in order to defend

The Americans rescued the battalion

GENERAL D|Az WARNS
TROOPS OF FALSE PEACE.
Italian Commander Desires
Only Honorable And Per-

Washington, Oct. 9.-General Diaz
commander in chief Of all the Italian
armios, has issued ringing appeal to
his troops not to be m1sled by the enemy
offer Of peace and to continue fighting
until such time as the enemy will offer
sufficient guarantees for the safety of
Italy and the whole Of mankind.
His appeal follows:
"The enemy, aware of his desperate
situation and certain defeat in the near
future, offers peace while continuing to
fight slubbornly on the field of France
and Belgium and with overbcaring pride
eneamping on the sacred soil of cur
country, in order to conserve what he
can Of his prey. The proclamation of
the German emperor to his army and
navy is new proof that conviction that
it is necessary to make good his depre
dations has not penetrated the enemy
and proves that the time has not come
when We can decide with certainty the
adsisability of laying down our arms
Let this be present in the mind of ali
as realization Of the situation and
safeguard against deception. Easy ere
dulity without positive proof may lead
to betrayal that would be of advantage
to the enemy, for whom it is important
TO gain time in order to weaken the
spirit of our troops.
Confidence in the wisdom of the
government and the government Of the
allies, inspired by sense of justice and
faith in our ability to attain in this
hour what will prove decisive for the
future, we must hold ourselves nore in
readiness than ever TO completely crush
