can be counted on to make steady,
though not spectacular, advance.
Evidences are accumulating that
the Germans are preparing to with.
draw from their advanced positions
opposite the Americans. Coupled
with the French advances on our
left, this will bring the pinching out
of the famous forest that much
nearer American patrols have al
ready penetrated Montrebeau wood.
The taking of Montfaucon de-
prived the Boche Of position domi-
! mating everything from south OF the
old line to north Of Vonzires. So
long as the Americans threaten a
further advance, the Germans ulti-
mate retirement on the Vonzires
lines is Inevitable. The Kriemhilde-
Stellung line lie understood to be
only partly completely. II it is
broken, the Americans are likely to
pour through to some distance, ne
cessitating the employment of still
additional reinforcements to prevent
them from breaking through en-
tirely.

of the line, Illinois units are advanc-

WASHINGTON, Oct. with Tur-

Germany is evidently preparing two
extensive moves-one peace offen-

The peace offensive is deemed only
part of a scheme. known to this gov

rage through the fall and winter. re-
gardless of how much refusal to ac-
cept comes from the entente and
America.
Austria will apparently be used
again-as catspaw But it is noted
that in her latest feelers, as reported
in cables, she admits being linked
completely to Germany. There is no
sign thus far that either nation is
anywhere near the mood to accept
the broad gauge, altruistic program
President Wilson has declared as a
permanent peace basis. AS for the
west front military situation, Ger
many's problem grows more disas-
trous constantly.

before long. 1t will probably be for

The German armies on tho west
front face the greatest crisis since the
beginning of the war. Simultaneous
allied pressure on four offensive fronts
has created a situation where a great
retirement is imminent. Unofficial
dispatches reported that preparations
for falling back on the two wings OF
the battle-in Flanders and along the
Araonne-are already under way
St. Quentin and Cambrai are vir-
tuaIly In the possession of the French
and British. The former was enter
ed by French troops yesterday. Brit
ish troops have been cIinsing to the
outskInrts of Cambrai for several
days. With evacuation of these two
cities, It Is believed the Germans must
fall back Immediately to the line OF
Veienciennes from ten to twelve miles
eastward.
In Flanders, RouIers Is within the
grasp Of the BeIeians. Unofficial re,
ports state that the German command
has already ordered the evacuation OF
the greater portion Of occupied Bel
aian territory.
The civil population is said to be
fleeing from the great Industrial cen
ter of Lille.
