ing OF the Kriemhilde line, are the
forerunners OF general withdrawal
that this retirement can be accom-
plished before winter sets in.
Military men privately express dis
pleasure at the idea of granting tho
German a chance to evacuate occu-
pied territorities and haul his armies
out without damage.
As the west front situation is now
developing they say the German is
destined to suffer heavily in his re-
treat
This fact Is evidenced by official
reports showing that the British bag
ged 10000 prisoners Tuesday.
The present retreat is viewed as
the direct result of the incessant ham
mering all along the western line
Foch has kept the Hun In doubt as TO
his next move and has made the shift
ing Of reserves difficult task. Now
he has shaken the hold of the Boche
on every important key On the west
ern line and a severe punishment IS
in store for the fleeing Germans.
Some military men-here believed that
Germany will answer the presidents
inquiry with an offer to withG--.w
from invaded territories. They say that
the German peace offer was the result
of the desperate situation in which
the Boche found himself on the west
front and tkat he would like nothing
better than the chance to get ont with
an armistice. However, mere accept
ance of the armistice idea will be liz
sufficient for the present, for the pres
ident left another stumbling clock IN
the path by his indirect notice that he
could not bargain with the Eohenzol-
lerns.

inq Of a seeming rout into show
of resistance.
From LaFere to Rheims-The
French are attacking along the Aisne
canal on front of about fifteen
miles, and have won local successes.
This attack is being made along the
southwark edge of the salient below
Laon.
From Rheims to Verdun-French
and Americans are hammerlng on the
front between the Brey-Au-Bac north
west of Rheims and Beaumont north
of Verdun. The Americans have shat
tered the kriemhilde line on front
of nearly four miles between the Ar
oonne and the Meuse. The Germans
have thrown heavy reinforcements
into, the breach and a great battle is
In progress. The enemy is being
squeezed out of the Arsonne pocket.
The French are advancing along the
western edge of Argonne massif to-
ward Vouziers and MachauIt.
Balkans-The Italians, after occu-
pyina FL Basan, are driving north
ward toward the Durazzo line In pur-
suit Of the Austrians. The French
and Serbans are pushing northward
toward Nish and westward in an
effort to cut off the Austrian retreat
In Albania.

the British advancing northward to-
ward Aieppo which is the main gate

While the British, French and
Americans are widening the scope Of
their victories In this region, the
French and Americans are battering /
away on the eighty mile front be-
tween Rheims and Verdun, progress
ing on wide sectors.
The Arsonne pocket has been utter

To the eastward the advance to-
ward the Meuse has brought them to

WASHINGTON, Oct 1o.-That
Pope Benedict will appeal to tho
world to accept President Wilson's
fourteen peace principles was indi-
Gated In reports to this government
today. These stated that tis pope
has selected November 2-AII Souls
day-for his move.
In this connection, 1t is significant
that the holy see knew as early a.
October 8 that Austria would appeal
to Wilson for peace, accepting his
fourteen points. Dispatches further
disclose that Austria's plight 10 seri-
Gus and whatever Germany answers
TO the presidept's test Of her peace
sincerity, Austria and Turkey cannot
long survive the growing demands IN
their countries for an end to the
struggle.
This probably accounts for Presi-
dent Wilson's decision to leave Aus
tria in doubt for the moment. Later
he will reply to her peace offer, SUBJ
n,itted simultaneously with that of
Germany-and probably will answer
it at more length.

Hence peace with Germany is not
SO near as it appears. It's a long
road TO tho end the president seeks;
but Il can be hastened, officials de-
clare by speeding up all war work.
Il may be stated on the highest
authority that there will be no ex-

answer his recent Inquiries frankly

WITH THE AMERICAN FIRST
ARMY, Oct. 1O.-The Americans are
through the kr!emhilde line on a
front of six kiIometers (nearly four
miles).
They have smashed the last organ

fenses between them and the Bel
gian frontier.
The Argonne pocket has been
wiped out by the junction of French
and Americans at Lacon. The
Americans are moving up through
the forest, with the engineers blaz-

Tomorrow morning, the Admiral Fllragut will leave the Seward dock with the first quota for this division of jrductcd men. 1t is urged that citizens
 lise uiflc earlier than usual to-
 morrow morning and look towards the dock and if the FmTagut is in, get up and out on the street. Perhaps you night telephone and find out when the steamer k going to sail. Central will be kept posted. If you have time
 for breakfast, get it, then hurry to
 the corner of Broadway and Adams to
 form the honorary guard for the in-
 iucted men to the steamer.
 When the steamer arrives the indu- .tcd men are to assemble at the Van 1 Glider hail. They will then march to ! aae corner of Broadway and Adams and there be joined by the Home Guards, Spanish American War Vet erans, regular soldiers and the Red ! Cross, also citizens in general. The ] line of march will be down Broadway to the dock, where the gates will be open, through the courtesy of Lieut.. Long.
 . Now, just word to the citizens don't shed copious tears. The parting for the boys, those who have their lov- ! cd ones here will be hard enough, so don't add to their discomforture. Brace up - show them that you are as brave
 as they are - you doing your duty at home and they doing their duty in the military service. Bring your flags and wave them, and when the ship pulls a. way from the dock cheer the boys with parting cheers that will cheer them in
 .he training camp and on the front.
 Citizens are asked generally to throw
 Ut their bunting and flags at places o' business and homes.
 Remember this, no matter what ime the steamer arrives and departs he schedule for the big Send-otf is as
