ALLIED PRESSURE !. CERTAIN ID FORGE HUN FURTHER BACK Haig's Savage Blows Will Make Resumption of Re
 treat Necessary ALLIED SUPERIORITY
 INCREASING DAILY Readiness of Germans to Accept Armistice Terms Will Be Increased
 by Further Smashing of Lines
 by the Allied Armies

Washington, October A. Maintained successful British operations on the Valencicnnes front took on new importance to officers here today in the light of the diplomatic sit nation. Field Marshal Haig's armies are striking savaeeiy at the hinge of the present German lines of resistance and the progress already made is thought by officers here to make it certain that the German retirement, both in Belgium and in France, wll have to be resumed without delay.
 South of the British wedge the French are keeping continuous pressure against the enemy along the Oise-Serre front, making it difficult for the German com from this most exposed sector of their lines. Success of the British effort. how ever, which now seems assured, would compel a p-eciptate evacuation of the 0ise-serre salient, 1t is believed, for the communication system of that front would be threatened from the flank ana rear
 Reduction. of the Oise-Serre salient would mean rectification of the lines probably as far ease as the Argonne, ob- servers believe, and. coupled with the pounding there. and on the Mouse, the British advances of to- day and yesterday possibly foreshadow the retreat of the enemy to the Meusa line. If that retirement is delayed much longer, it was said. there Is strong prop. ability that the British working east ward from valenciennes will gather ,n prisoners, guns and stores in large nun. her later or
 Tn view of the existing military situa- tion officers pointed out that every dav was seeing the allied tactical superiority increased even as their superiority in man and gun power is increasing. since President Wilson has already pointed out to the German authorities that the sare- guarding and guaranteeing Of that su- periority must be the base foundat1on of any armistice agreement, a propos,- ton that the German leaders accented with the statement that the standard of military power in the field must or necessity govern such terms, it is clear that the conditions of the armistice to kc formulated grow increasingly hard on the enemy each day.
 More than ever officers are convinced that new operations on a large scale are impending on the front and that General Pcrshing's two aggressive young armies SCOT, will try their rnettIe again.
 Added to the purely military considera- ton that would seem fo urge some re- newed effort before winter comes. there Is nov the incentive presented by the fact that arniistice terms may soon be The readiness of the German to accept those terms Will be increased greatly. it is pointed out, If their line is further broken, and the evacuation upon which they are engaged renltred incy-esi-vtv Aifsinnlt and full of peril.

ALLIES MUST CONSULT

Paris, October A.-President Wilson's reply to Germany was published by the newspapers here In English as well as In French translation at the request of the authorities
 La Liberte says that if Germany gives guarantees, as demanded by the Presi- dent, it will be materially Impossible for her to continue the war.
 Everything is now in the hands of the military says the Temps. The re- ply has moved the problem from tho domain of controversy to the sphere of facts. The President attaches such im- portance to the essential idea that an armstice must make 1t impossible for Germans to resume the war. that he ex- presses 1t three times-
 Now the allied governments in Eu- rope must consult with one another,' the Temps concludes. Their position is simple. They have not taken part in the elaboration of the programmes which President Wilson has developed as re- gards future peace nor in the exchange of notes which have passed between Ger many and the United States. There can then be no question of discussing con ditions of peace The allies of Europe, associated with the United States, face a purely military problem. Germany asks for an armistice. What are the guaran- lees which must be contemplated?
 Marshal Sembat In L'Heure, says:
 No reply of the Presidents, in our opinion, has equalled the present one in frankness To the campers in the United States who implored him not to reply. he turned deaf ear. No better warn ing could be given Germany than that she holds her fate in her own hands. Will she uncrown the Kaiser and become free people, or will she remain infatu- ated with the military imperialists? The choice Is hers. We will be treating her accordingly"
 London. october 24-The popular com ment on the Presidents note here is that 1t contains the strongest language ever addressed by the head of one great ma ton to another in modern times. The note is welcomed first, because it brings matters to a new state; further pro- ceedinss, if there are to be further pro- ceedings, will be i'll the hands of all the governments interested Hitherto. associated with the United States, and which have more at stake perhaps than has the United States. have been on- lockers to the correspondence.
 The note is welcomed. secondly, be- cause it promises to bring the season of discussion to an end altogether. one way or the other No ono sees how the German chancellor, Prince Maximilian, can fail either to accept President Will sons platform or reject it. Acceptance will he taken to mean that the Ger mans regard their position as hopeless and that disaster is imminent
 The general opinion is that Germany's position is not so had but that her leaders will fight on. if only with the hope of creating division among the allies, which has been Germany's reliance of late.
