HUN DEFENSES
SHAKEN UNDER

Enemy Retiring West Of the
Meuse Before Americans;
italians Pursuing Aus

BY Associated Press.

Over the plains of Venetia and
into the mountain valleys of the
Trentino. the Italians and allied pur-
suit of the demoralized Austro-
Hungarians goes on unabated. In
France the German defenses are
shaking under the assaults of the
British, French and Americans,
West of the Meuse the enemy is re-
firing before the Americans.
Austrian emissaries have been
given the armistice terms of the
allies and have returned to their own
lines, where the Austrian command
has them under consideration. Mean
while an Italian naval contingent
has raided the great fase of Pola,
while allied war ships are on their
way to Triest, to take command of
situation made serious by fleeing
Austrian soldiers.
The allied ministers and delegates
continue their deliberations over the
German armistice terms.
Italians Advance Swiftly.
From west of Asiago to the Piave
the Italians are pressing into the
important valleys leading to Trent
and are well 3eyond the old Austrian
frontier northeast of Asiago. West
of the Brenta the Italians have
forced their way into the Nos valley,

in Talk to Voters.

Samuel R. M. McKelvie, republi-
can candidate for governor. received
an ovation when he arrived at Fif-
teenth and Farnam streets last night
during his speaking tour of the city.
Notwithstanding the efforts of
democrats who had staged an oppo-
sltion meeting a few feet away, the
crowd listened attentively to Mr..
McKelvie who spoke, as he had
promised, without mincing words.
Jim Hanley, Congressman Lo-
beck's secretary ordered his band to
enliven the occasion at the rival
meeting to discredit the republican
meeting, but the crowd for the time
being deserted the Lobeck show and
surged over to the McKelvie meet

p "While we are fighting for the
preservation of the franchise we
should be privileged to use it," Mr..
Mckelvie began.
"The effective way to use the
franchise is to vote for the men and
the principles which promote the
greatest service to the country at
this time"
Then he directed his remarks to

TeutOns' Latest Line
OF Defense in France
Already Under Fire

With the American Army
Northwest of Verdun, Nov. o.
To the north of the advancing
Americans who have broken
through the Germans strongest
lines Of resistance, including the
Freya position, which was shatter-
ed today, lies the so-called Meuse
line-the enemy's last stronghold
in this part of France.
The line in general follows the
military crests and railroads east
ward from Hirson to Mezieres,
Sedan, ,Mouzon, Montmedy and
Longuyon and then south to Et-
ain. The railroad functions in the
regions Of Montmedy and Long
uyon are already under the FIRE
of the American big guns. l
1t is not believed the Germans
have an organized system of de-
fenses between the American
front and this Meuse line, as they
had the greatest confidence that
the Freya, Kriemhilde and other
lines could hold in spite of any
attacks designed to break them.
The so-called Meuse line was the
advantage Of important railroad
functions connecting it with the
main lines direct from Germany
by several routes.
Omaha daily bee., 1918-11-03

The opposition was especially de-
termined on the left and right and
the American center had pushed for
ward considerably further than had
either wing. Though the center had
intended to continue and to attain
its days objective, it was appar-
ent there would soon have to be a
pause if the troops were not to be
flanked.
Resistance Weakens Suddenly
So certain were the military COM
manders that the Germans would
not break that the chief of staff Of
the troops in the center belittled
the report arriving about 2 o'clock
this afternoon that the town OF
Fosses had been taken.
One hour later, however, reports
began to come thick and fast. The
first showed that resistance against
the American left had unaccount
ably ceased. Then came reports
indicating that the right wing was
moving ahead at marvellous speed.
The first intimation that the en-.
emy was retreating came from the
Fourth French army, which was adj
vancing to the northeast. Within
a short time various American
units from all parts of the line an
notinced that they were also ad-
vancing and were finding the resist
ance, which was marked all morning,
melting away on the right. Even
troops in motor trucks had not
been able to catch UP with the en-
emy.
Americans Follow Quickly.
The Americans were not slow to
follow the advantage on the left
wing, which had met with the most
serious resistance and began to
press forward Immediately in the
Bois Des Leges, on the heels of the
Germans, clearing up all who Jagged
behind. They pushed thir line north
ward for nearly a mile. Champig-
neulle, a strong point in the Freya
defense line, had been taken earlier
in the day the troops who had
rushed it passed forward and swept
through Verpel, after partly sur
rounding the town.
Through rain and mud the Ameri-
cans advanced toward Thenorgues, 5,
a mile and half north of Verpel.
The enemy had been expected to
hold there, for it was a strong po-
sition, but very little resistance was
met when the village was entered.

tinued their victorious march and

Bourbons Try With Little Sue
cess to Down Words Of
Opposition Orators on
Street.

Politics was not adjourned at
Fifteenth and Farnam streets last
night.
Republicans and democrats held
opposition meetings within a few
feet of each other. with no mans
land occupied by coterie of nom
combatants..
The demos would send up a few
star shells and the republicans would
reply with a barrage of 75's. 1t was
the liveliest political show Omahans
have witnessed since the days of
16 to l.
The republicans planned several
weeks ago for meeting to be held
at the northwest corner of Fifteenth
and Farnam streets and the demo-
Gratis thought it was too good an
opportunity to let go by, so they
did their best to muss things up
but the American spirit of fair play
wrought havoc with the evil designs
of those who attempted to break up
peaceful republican meeting.
Fleharty Plays Heavies.
The humor of the situation was
appreciated by several thousands of
people who occupied the sidelines.
The democrats put up Jerry Howard
as one of their ace speakers. Jerry
did not have good control, so Jim
Hanley was sent in to do the heavy
work. Finally H. B. Fleharty was
rushed in by the democrats to save
their bending line. Fleharty has a
voice like siren and when Judge
Ben Baker, chairman of the repub-
lican county central committee,
mounted the republican rostrum to
oppose Fleharty, the crowd yelled.
Seventh inning, everybody
stretch!
Baker held Fleharty for two in
nings and then Tom Hollister was
sent into relieve Baker. With Hol-
lister and Fleharty at their best, no.
body asked for his money back. 1t
was as good as convalescing from
the flu. 1T was the mostest fun for
the leastest money" .l....
"The record shows that the war
is not a failure" could be heard
from one side of the war of words.

Would Open Roads to Berlin.
From a military point of view,
the proposal that the German armies
be disarmed and retired 80 miles
beyond the Rhine is classed only as
tantamount to an absolute surren-
der. 1t would not only throw open
to the allied and American armies
many roads to Berlin, itself, but
with the surrender of railway roll

to retrace their steps or fight if they
would.
