No One Sees How He Can
Fail to Accept or Reject
Wilson's Note
Cabinet Meets to
Consider Document
Language Strongest Ever
Used by Head of One
Nation to Another

LONDON. Oct. 2d.-Thc British
Cabinet met this morning presumably
10 discuss President Wilson's reply to
Germany. The reply was received by
the Foreign Office from the British En-
5assy in Washington.
The popular comment on the Presi-
dents note here is that it contains the
strongest language ever addressed by
the head of one great nation to another
N modern times. The note is well
coined, first. because it brings matters
TO a new state. Further proceedings, If
there arc to be further proceedings,
will be in the hands Of all the govern
nents interested. Hitherto, so far as
The public knows. the nations asso-
ciated with the United States, and
which have more at stake, perhaps. than
mas the United States, have been on
lockers to the correspondence.
Max in Dilemma
Inc note is welcomed, secondly, be-
cause il promises to bring the season
of discussion to an end altogether one
way or the other. No one sees how the
German Chancellor Prince Macmillan,
can fail either to accept President
Wilson's platform or reject it. Ac-
ceptance will be taken to mean that
The Germans regard their position as
hopeless and that disaster is immi-
nent
The general opinion is that Ger
many military position is not so bad
nut that her leaders might fight on,
il only with the hope of creating di-
visions among the Allies, which has
hcen Gsrmany's reliance of late.
1he text Of President Wilson'S reply
10 Germany is given great prominence
in the evening newspapers, which quote
with satisfaction his decision to refer
the question of an armistice to the
Allies and his insistence that the only
armistice must be one which will make
a renewal of hostilities on the part OF
Germany impossible.
Note Called Admirable
The Globe" which would have pre-
'erred if the President had declined to
make any reply, says that his note sis
quite uncompromising and altogether
admirable"
"The Pail Mall Gazette" says that
any fear that the Presidents "delib-
crate method of dealing with the Ger
man overtures betokened mitigation
of the Allies demands and the forego
.ng of their complete victory, will be
oanished by the concise and inhexible
-erms of his crowning rejoinder."
THE Westminster Gazette" says:
whether the German government
accepts this proposition for an armis
ice will depend on its estimate of its
military and internar situation, anc
upon nothing else. All democratic ma.
tons will be grateful to the President
TOR having forcibly projected the issue
between free peoples and military des.
potism into the foreground at this
stage of the war. But let it be said
again that the choice rests with the
German people. 1t is for them, and
not for US, to say how they shall be
ruled All that we can say is that

come to naught. That line has been
turned at Valenciennes, it's southern
terminus. 1t will soon be broken at
Journal and Ghent
East and northeast of Valenci-
ennes there is a large area of low
land which the Germans are trying
to flood by letting out the waters of
The Scheldt. But even if they should
succeed in this, the Scheldt line will
not be made tenable. 1t is being
rapidly outflanked from the south
east.
The British drive from Solesmcs
toward lie Quesnoy has been making
great headway. On Wednesday
morning the. British had reached
Romeries, two miles northeast of
Solesmes. Yesterday morning they
had progressed three miles further,
to Beaudignies, on the Ecaillon
River, only two miles southwest of
Le Quesnoy. Further south Sa-
lesches and Melville were taken.
These villages lie three miles from
the western edge of the Forest of
Normal, the big obstacle in this sec
tion which Foch is enveloping.
From lie Quesnoy, on its northern
side, the Valenciennes- Hirson rail
road runs southeast through the
forest to Au:noye, on the southern
side. This railroad is already out
OF commission as a German artery
of communication. From LIE Quesnoy
the Germans are beginning to re-
treat northeast to Bavai, on the Va
lenciennes-M -Maubeuge railroad, about
nine miles east of Maubeuge. Bavai
is nine miles from LIE Quesnoy, and
much of this line Of retreat is now
under Allied fire. Directly east Of
lie Cateau the Allies are approach
ing Landrecies, on the lie Cateau-
! Maubeuge railroad. From that point
it is about eighteen miles to Mau-
beuge.
While the northern movement is
in full swing Foch is merely nibbling
at the German positions in the Guise
salient, on the Serre and in the re-
gion west of the Argonne. No at
tack on large scale has been made
on this front for more than two
weeks. But the fear of such an at
tack keeps Ludendorff's reserves
massed in the south, and also on the
, American sector east and west of the
Meuse.
The American army north of YER
dun has had bitter fighting. Its
progress recently has been relatively
slow, both because of the difficulty
Of the country and because of the
desperate resistance made by the
pick Of Ludendorff's troops. The
Germans cannot afford to uncover
the Stenay gap. 1t is the only out
let east for a large portion of their
southern armies. Hence the repeated
German counter attacks in the
Meuse Valley and the struggle for
hills and villages which gives the
operations there the aspect of a re-
turn to old-fashioned positional war
fare. The American troops have the
hardest sector on the West front to-
day. But they are standing up to
their task magnificently, and they
are doing almost as much to free
Belgium and Northern France as the
armies which have just recovered
Lille and Valenciennes and are now
pushing the Germans back to Mons
and Maubeuge.

GIRLS DANCE WAS
GRAND AFFAIR

The "By Heck" dance given by the
Plentywood Girls at the Community
Hall here last Saturday night was
attended by the largest number of
people ever gathered together for
social function of its nature. The
music was extraordinarily pleasing,
being of unique character and con-
sisting Of four pieces. AS a whole,
the event was successful.
The hall was decorated nicely and
couples entering were required to
pass along a corridor and up into the
balcony, from where they had to slide
down a toboggan into a small stack
Of new mown hay, before they could
get on to the ball room floor to shake
their feet.
People from all parts of the county
enjoyed themselves at this dance and
there was no end to the fun from the
opening early in the evening until the
close early Sunday morning.
The Plentywood Girls received
many compliments for their splendid
achievements in putting over such a
good entertainment, and the visitors
declared they would come again when
they learned of another such iolly
event.

President Draws
First Number

Continued from Page One)
telegraphing all of the $1,000 the
nress has been asked to refrain from
sending more than 100 numbers. The
cornlete master lists will be mailed
&C soon as the drawing is over in the
district draft boards throughout the
country, to be made public by them.
The drawing is taking place in one
Of the large caucus rooms OF the Sen
ate office building. There was an in
terested crowd to witness. the open
ing ceremony but the interest was
rather in the participation than in
the drawing itself, for the classical
tion system which determines the
status of the registrants has made
the order numbers relatively unim-
portant.
The President, with Mrs. Wilson,
reached the caucus room just before
noon and joined a group including
tbe Vice President, Speaker Clark,
The chairman of the Senate and House
military committees, Secretary DAM
els. Acting Secretary Crowell, of the
War department, General March,
chief of staff of the army, Admiral
Benson, chief of naval operations, and
others who were to take part.
Battery of Cameras Active
All was in readiness for the draw
ing. including a battery of cameras,
that reached across the room direct
lv before the bowl. This bowl, the
one used in the original draft lottery,
had been brought from it's place at
independence Hall, Philadelphia, for
the occasion.
Before making his explanatory
statement, Provost Marshal General
Crowder whispered to the President
that in his case the blindfold, always
worn by those drawing numbers
said he thought it would be better to
make no exception in his case, so tn:
blindfold, made from a slip of cloth
that covered chair used in the sign
ing of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, was adjusted as the President
approached the bowl.
The crowd applauded as No. 322
was announced and the President re-
turned to his seat to watch the re-
mainder of the opening ceremony.
