AINCREv|LLE
CAPTURED BY
YANKEE ARMY
Natural Positions on Verdun
Front, Dominating Coun-
try for Miles, in Amer.
lea Lines.
By Associated Press.

With the American Forces North
west of Verdun, Oct. 30.-General
Pershing's forces today improved
their positions in the region Of
Grandpre. Bellejoyeuse farm is
now virtually within the American
lines.
By the occupation Of Aincreville
the Americans have brought within
their lines series of bills and nat
ural positions dominating the coun-
try for miles. Aincreville was taken
with but little opposition, the re-
slstance being principally from ma
chine guns.
After capturing Aincreville, the
Americans advanced north of the
town and established a new line
on the series of ridges in that re-
gion.
Germans Resist Desperately.
East of the River Mouse there
was considerable activity today, but
there was no material change in the
line. The Germans desperately re-
sisted attempts to drive them from
Hill 800.
Enemy artillery activity east of
the river Meusc decreased this eve
ming, but the Germans continued to
throw gas into different parts of the
line, and to hurl shells of large
caliber in the back areas.
The American artillery pounded
away at the positions behind the
German lines. Their targets in
cluded cross-road and woods where
enemy troops were reported to be
encamped.
The Germans showed more than
ordinary activity in the air Tuesday
night, bombing the region of Mont
faucon, Cuisy and other places. The
German squadron known as the
travelling circus" also appeared at
different parts of the front.> The
airplanes were painted in bright COL
ors. A number of combats resulted
and several German machines were
brought down within their own
lines.

and that its will for peace is simply
tempered by a natural disposition
to get the best terms possible short
Of unconditional surrender.
The report that Count Andrassy,
the new Austrian premier, is about
to sue directly to Italy for peace
on the ground that Italy is Aus
tria's sole antagonist" is generally
regarded as confirmatory of this
understanding of the hopeless situ-
alton in the dual empire.
One comparatively new PROPOSE
ton relates TO guarantees to be ex-
acted from Germany for repayment
of tremendous financial losses suf-
fered by populations of those por-
tons of Belgium and France oc-
cupfed by German troops.
1t is understood to contemplate
possession by entente powers of
important industrial cities in the
Rhine country and of products of
mines and soils therein until COM
pensation has been made. Thus
Germany would depend on entente
powers for any iron and coal or man
ufactured products she might have
to draw from that territory.

WAR WILL End IN

SENATOR LODGE
Republican Leader Declares
This Is Not Time for Par
ley; DepIores Wilson's
Partisan Appeal.

Lynn, Mass, Oct. 30.-Express-
ing the opinion that the war could
last but few weeks longer, Henry
Cabot Lodge, republican leader in
the United States senate, declared
at a political rally here tonight that
the, present was no time for parley
and that Americanism, not republi-
can or democrats, must prevail.
After dissecting the IA articles for
peace set forth by President Wilson,
Senator Lodge called on Ameri-
cans to stand fast by the ideals for
which this nation entered the war,
which in his opinion was for the
maintenance of the freedom of civ
ilization and was to be accomplish
ed only when Germany was beaten
down like Bulgaria and in a position
where she could never break out
in the world again. He deplored
the action of President Wilson in
calling for democratic support in
congress. 1t had not only divided
the country heretofore united, he
said, but had tended to make the
war party war. No policy had
been announced, Mr.. Lodge assert
ed, for which democratic support
was asked

WAR PRISONERS
ILL Treated In
GERMAN CAMPS
Conditions UnspeakabIe, Says
Y British Home Secretary
in Address to House
of Commons. ,

London, Oct. 30-(British Wire
less Service - Germany has fla
gravity broken the rules of iaterna-
tional law in her treatment of Brit
ish prisoners of war, declared Sir
George Cave, the British home Sec
rotary, in discussing the question of
prisoners of war in the House of
Commons yesterday. Some of the
German internment camps. he said,
were reasonably we'll organized, but
there were other camps where con-
ditions were almost unspeakable.
These things were going on today
and the evidence the government
had obtained from lately returned
prisoners was very much on the
same lines as previously. Working
parties of British prisoners were
beaten, tortured and made to work
when they were i'll.
|. Sir George believed that if any
armistice was reached the govern
ment would take steps to see that
one of the primary conditions would
be that all prisoners of war in enemy
countries would be Immediately and
Internationally released. He added:
ut will do no good to talk to the
people who do these things. We
have got to take them by the neck
and the throat if we can, and punish
them so that it will be an example
for generations to come"
Country Inflamed.
The topic was forced on the
house by strong public demand
for light on the circumstances of
what is termed German blackmail
in refusing to ratify an agreement
for equitable exchange of prisoners
unless the British consented to give
guarantees against deportation of
Germans from China.
Captain Craig, member of the
house, an exchanged prisoner, told
with emotion of his experiences in
German prison camps.
Sir George Cave gave authentic
details of wholesale deaths of
British soldiers, kept ragged, starry
ing and verminous and compelled
to work long hours in salt mines
and under fire at the front, con-
trary to rules of the Hague con-
vention, beaten and tortured and
shot for petty or no offenses.
they have never seen such bitter
and strong feeling pervade the
House of Commons. The same
feeling has infected the whole coun-
try. The only group of members
who held aloof was handful of
pacifists, who appear to object to
any unpleasant words about Ger
many more than they object to the
war.

Austro-Hungarian Troops ir
Flight Across Plains of
Treviso, With Allies in
Hot Pursuit.
BY Associated Press.

SOver front of 90 miles from the
Brenta river in northern Italy }
the vicinity OF the Adriatic sea, the
Austro-Hungarians are being vio-
lently attacked by Italian, British,
French and American troops.
In the mountain region the enemy
is resisting desperately and hold
ing his ground fairly well. But east
Of the Piave river he is in flight
across the plains of Treviso, shap-
ing his course over the same terri
tory through which he drove the
Italians year ago and reached the
eastern edge of the plains OF Vene-
tia.
Far behind the lines allied avia-
tors are heavily bombing enemy
columns in dense masses, which are
in retreat over the badly congested
roads leading eastward toward the
Austrian frontier.
Judging the situation from the
rapid advance the, allies are making
it would appear that the entire enc
my front has been broken east of
the Pave and that with the cavalry
operating far in advance of the foot
troops the enemy forces will be I'M
able to reform their battle line until
the Austrian border is reached 1t
is not unlikly that many of the
tro-Hupgarians are doomed to
CAPTURE by the allies
French Launch New Attack. ,
On the western front in France
and Belgium there has, been a mark
ed elimination in the intensity of
the infantry activity. - Along the
British line there have been only
patrol encounters and reciprocai
bonbardments. The French, how
ever, are engaged i'll another at
tack on front of about seven and
half miles between ST.. Quentin,
Lepetit and Herpy, in the general
direction of the enemy's communi-
cation lines running eastward from
the old St. Quentin and Laon sectors
and also with the purpose of driv-
ing wedge into this paH of the
southern battle line and thereby
compelling the enemy to readjust
his front through Champagne to the
Meuse.
Around Grandpre, north of the
Argonne forest, the Americans have
materially bettered their positions
in attacks against the Germans. The
Bellejoyeuse farm, which for sew
eral days had been No Mans Land,
now is virtually all held by the AM
orleans. East of the Meuse there
has been considerable fighting, but
It has resulted in no great change
IN positions.
The big American guns are con-
tinuing heavily to shell German po-
sitions far behind the lines and
bombing planes also are intensively
active against troop concentration
points. IS
