WILSON SENDS REPLY.

WASHINGTON, Oct, o. The reply or rather inquiry regarding the TeG- tonic peace notes, as President WI. son has been hailed by diplomats as a master stroke. 1t leaves the Way ro' peace and the same time places the militarists with serious question, which must either bring peace O. leave them in most embarrassing position Germany must say whether she accepts q reign of law on consent of the governed or wants to n gotiatc such a reign; whether the appeal fO, peace comes from beaten miIitariSts or from war ridden people The Al lies are ready to make a lasting peace but the Tcutons must internationally surrender even before an arm Stice iS granted.

OFFENSIVE BEGUN?

Many French writer's, pointing to
the love held by the Huns for the tao
tics Of Napoleon, declare that the
German offensive on the western
front is already under way in the
shape of the series of trench raids.
These writer's declare that the en-
emy, like the little corporal" is
striking numerous places to ascertain
where his most forceful blow shall be
delivered. The trench raid theoreti.
caliy brings in prisoners who, when
questioned, reveal much of import
ance concerning the condition and
number of their troops.
II these raids are really the first
step In the cbdiscussed offensive
it is not under very auspicious cir
cumstances that the campaign has
begun. Even in the case of the most
experienced troops-the Americans
the Germans have failed to reach the
trenches and their raids all along the
lines have almost invariably resulted
10 a big advantage for the allies.
