said, can carry 200 of these bombs.
The only way of fighting the fire
caused by this new form of destructive
weapon appears to be the isolation of
the blaze, as pouring water on it is
literally adding fuel to the flames on
account of the chemical of which the
bombs are composed.

hington-President Wilson has
net Germany's peace note with move
which will, at one stroke, develop
whether her proposal is sincere or
merely a pretension, and, if a preten-
sion it be, will fully justify for all time
before the world the prolonging of the
war with force to the utmost, force
without stint or limit. At the same
time the President has left wide open
the door to peace.
Declining to propose an armistice
while the armies of the Central Pow
ers remain on invaded soil, the Presi-
dent called on the German Chancellor
to state, as an absolutely necessary
preliminary to reply from the En-
tente Allies and the United States,
whether Germany accepts the princi-
pies of peace as repeatedly laId down,
or merely proposes to accept them "as
a basis OF negotiation" and whether
the Chancellor merely speaks for the
German military master conducting
the war or the whole German people.
AS a full significance of the Presi-
dents diplomacy is disclosed. it be.
comes evident that he has left open
the way to peace and at the same time
left the militarist leaders of the Cen
trail Powers with a question they must
necessarily answer in way that will
lead to peace or confront them with an
embarrassing situation in their own
countries.
The text of the Presidents commun1.
cation was made public by Secretary
Lansing with the official text of Prince
Maximilian's note. At the same time,
officials let it be known that there
would be no reply at present to the
Austrian note, similar to that of the
German Chancellor. 1t is not consid.
cred necessary to deal with Austria IN
til the time comes for a reply TO her
dominating ally.

TEXT OF PRESIDENTS
MESSAGE.

The text OF the Presidents mes
sage as incorporated in a message
Secretary OF State Lansing dellV-
cred to the Swiss Charge DAT
flares follows:
Sir, have the honor to &C
knowledge on behalf or the Pres
ident your note or October 8, in
closing a communication from the
German government to the Pres
ident; and | am instructed by the
President to request you to make
the following communication to
the Imperial German Chancellor:
Before making reply to the re-
quest of the Imperial German gov
eminent and in order that the re-
ply shall be as candid and straight
forward as the momentous inter-
ests involved require, the Presi-
dent of the United States deem!
it necessary to assure himself OF
the exact meaning of the note of
the Imperial Chancellor. Does the
Imperial Chancellor mean that the
Imperial German government &C
cepts the terms laid down by the
President in his address to the
Congress of the United States on
the 9Th of January last and in
subsequent addresses, and that its
object in entering into discussions
would be only to agree upon the
practical details OF their applica-
ton?
The President feels bound to say
with regard to the suggestion OF
an armistice that he would not
feel at liberty to propose a cessa-
ton of arms to the government
with which the government OF the
United States is associated against
the Central Powers so long as the
armies Of those powers are upon
their soil. The good faith of any
discussion would manifestly de-
pend upon the consent of the Cen
trail Powers Immediately to with
draw their forces everywhere from
invaded territory.
THE President also feels that
he is justified in asking whether
the Imperial Chancellor is speak
ing merely for the constituted au-
thority of the Empire who have SO
far conducted the war. He deems
the answer to these questions vital
from every point of view"

London-The British line has been
advanced on front of four miles
north of the Scarpe, Field Marshal
Haig reports. The villages of Biache,
st. Vast and Oppy were captured.
American Forces Northwest Of Yer
dun.-General Pershing's troops at
tackled the German positions on the
left wing of this front. The Ameri-
cans made progress to a point cor,
responding with their advance of the
day before in the region of Cunel
Woods, on the right wing.
The presence of storm troops op
posite the American center and the
increased activity behind the German
lines leads to the belief that the enemy
is planning counter-attacks.
German patrols operated frequently
in the center during the night. The
enemy artillery between six and eight
o'clock threw over a barrage. In the
course of the night the Germans be.
gan an intermittent bombardment of
the rear areas of tie American line.
There is increasing evidence that
the Germans intend not only to hold
the Kriemhilde position if possible,
but to force fight in front of it,
Consequently, the Americans are now
fighting in the zone which the Ger
mans have chosen for their main
stand.
