WITH THE AMERICAN FIRST

attack on the Argonne-Massis con-
tinues with renewed success.
Heavy fighting has developed in
the center where infantry opera
tions were precedd by an n,unusually
strong artillery bonn b "a d m n
which lasted all night.
Attacking under cover of yesterday
mornings darkness, the Americans
caught the Austro- Germans by surprise
and advanced more than a mile and
quarter in the first rush. Daylight
brought q stiffening of resistance but
the allies made great inroads through
the enemy at some points.
Progress in this sector is important
as it removes the danger TO the Ameri-
can flank along the Meuse and has
routed out German artillery nests
which made the American positions un-
comfortable.
The situation of the Germans in the
northern part of the forest is serious
The Americans have improved their
newly taken positions along the Ancre.
Our artillery has caused more than
twenty-four fires back of the German
positions.

tBA UNITED PRESS.
WASHINGTON, Oct. o.-Presi-
dent Wilson probably viii 60 be-
fore congress to cast further light
upon the position he took in his in
quiry to the German Prince Max as
soon as the latter replies.
The white house viewpoint OF
Wilson 5 ineaiTy was that It .doos.
not Bind fhe president to any spss
cial course. They say it is an in
quiry and not reply to the peace
offers and will clear the way for
the president to make fitting re-
ply as soon as he knows whether
Germany wants peace on his terms
or whether this is merely an insin-
cere peace move.
Particular attention was called to the
fact that among the presidents terms
are complete freeing of occupied terri
tory and that characterization shall be
the governing factor in territorial align
ments. As the matter now stands Ger
many knows clearly that complete
evacuation of occupied territory must
be the preliminary to any peace move
The German leaders are told they nu--
show their true colors. not alone TO the
world but 10 their own people
Entente diplomats were r-1ased with
the methods used by the president They
designated this action as a notice to
Germany that she must come around
to the American allied viewpoint or be
punished into defeat.
Neither the allies nor America viii
consider q temporary armistice, it was
authoritatively stated.
1t became known that the presidents s
declaration for evacuation of occupied
territories before an armistice did not
contemplate the evacuation of Alsaee.
Instead it meant evacuation of invaded
territories and the intention as shown
by the presidents fourteen terms is to
leave the righting of the wrong done
/ France to determination in the final
I peace conference.
It was said on high authority that
this "righting" was open to the inter
pretation Of the return of Alsace to
