WASHINGTON. Oct. 30.-The gen eral opinion among officials and dip lomats here is that the German pro posal for an armistice and peace while having it's origin in a plan tO gain time for strengthening the army and restoring it's shattered morale. has gotten beyond the control of the mili- tary party. and that the German people are the force which is driving the German government to make a move for ending the war.
 Another note rom the German gov ernment explanatory of the changes that have been made or are projected in the German constitution and forW of government was received today through the Swiss legation, but the state department did not make it public. This note was understood to be supplementary 10 the preceding German communication saying to the president that he must have knowl- edge of the efforts that have been made to democratize Germany.
 President Wilson was at work to- day on his reply to Austria's re- newed plea for an armistice and peace and it was expected that it would be dispatched before night, but later to- day it was said at the state depart ment that there would be no an- nouncement regarding the reply to- night.
 It was understood that in the note the president planned to touch on the steps that Austria and Hungary have taken in releasing subject peoples from political bondage, but that the Austrian governments plea would be referred to the allied governments. The administration was said to be well convinced now that Austria al- ready is nearly out of the war and that her will for peace is simply tempered by natural disposition to get the best terms possible short of surrender
 The report that Count Andressy, the new Austrian premier. is about to sue directly to Italy for peace on the ground that Italy is Austria's sole antagonist" Is generally regarded as of this understanding of the hopeless situation in the dual em- pire. It was pointed out that since Italy solemnly engaged with other en- tente powers not Co make a separate peace. if Austria carries out this plan 1t would be referred by Italy to the supreme war council
 There was no official information here today as to progress of delibera- lions of the supreme war council and notes was taken of reserved attitude of the council in issuing any state ments. Inference is drawn that a definite policy has been agreed on .o withhold all information regarding

British Troops Resting on Arms While Hun Contin- ues to Move Out of Terri tory Long Held

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM. Oct. 30 (By the Associated Press) 3 p. m.-The lenciennes-C -Courtrai sector were rest ing on their arms this morning, with their line for the greater part of the way snug up against the Scheldt river and canal to which they had forced the enemy. On the other side Of these natural defenses the unhappy Germans are still clinging to positions which they hoped would afford them protection in a further withdrawal.
 In the meantime preparations for retirement to a line further back was going on apace in the enemy for ward areas.
 Railway communications were be- ing destroyed and highways being blown up as fast as the war materials could be removed The new German line would depend largely on events. but indications are that the enemy would stand temporarily on the Den dre river, which affords an excellent defense.
 Civilians have not been withdraw ing in great numbers. Tournai for example, which is closely invested by the British appears to be full of ei- williams, who, thanks to the chivalry of the British forces are in no danger, except from the Huns. The British have religiously refrained from she'll ing towns along the line, even though it might be of military advantage to do so.
 On the other hand the enemy has been venting his hate on villages in the allied territory along the line Last night such places were shelled with high explosives and gas shells, and casualties were caused among the 
 Fighting last night was confined to local engagements. South of Valen- ciennes the British extended their bridgehead on the Rhonelle river, east of Artres. A counter move of the en- emy north of here came to grief. The Germans put down an artillery bar rage northwest of Farmars but Brit ish gunners so badly smashed them that the attack did not materialize.
 Further north a hard engagement was fought on the Scheldt river Here the British attempted to cross under artillery support and a battle devel oped at two destroyed bridges At tacking forces essayed crossing twice. but the advantage was always

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-GOvern- ment plans for turning out quantities of airplanes and results achieved through cooperation of manufacturers. are generally commended in the re- port of Charles E. Hughes. on the air craft investigation to be sent to President Wilson tomorrow by At tcrney General Gregory and made pub lie then. A number of specific acts and plans involved in the big task of preparing the nation for warfare in the air declared subject to criticism. but in the light of later developments, some of these are held to be ex- cusable.
 Officials who have been in touch with the investigation emphasize to- day this is not 10 be interpreted as meaning blanket approval of the way the program has been carried out Is given Plenty of evidence of ineffi- ciency in manufacturing plants and waste of money and time is presented they said. indicating that eXpection of the governments plans might have been much better by government az encies and contractors for airplanes
 Although President Wilson has not seen the report, he has been told its substance.
 Attorney General Gregory devoted most of his time today and this even ing to perusal of Mir. Hughes report and prepared a letter of transmittal in which he Is expected to offer his individual comment His attitude is understood not to differ radically from that Of MT. Hughes.
 Desirability of speed in putting fin ishing touches on the document was said to have been urged on MT. Greg ory today by Postmaster General Eur leson and Secretary Tumulty. After their visit to the department of jus tice it was said the report would be sent to the White House early in the and probably would be made public before noon.

STATEMENTS ARE CONTINUING IN
 POLITICAL MIXUP
Redfield, Lane and Daniels Attack Republicans, While Uncle Joe Cannon Defends Them Vigorously

WASHINGTON, Oct. Sectetary Lane and Redfield today authorized statements Of why they believed the country should return democratic congress next week.
 Secretary Lane said:
 At the head of our state is the man whom the world looks to for guidance in this contest. To back him to the limit and enable him to look the kaiser in the eye and tell him what the conscience of the world commands is our duty irrespective of party. He must not be discredited, weakened or worried by any apparent hesitation on the part of the people to generously support him.
 The kaiser knows he is a demo- crat, and those who have been loyal to him as the exponent of the na- tion's will should be sent to congress that they may prosecute the war and lead in the great period of reconstruc- tion that is to follow-a period in which larger consideration must be given to the needs and rights of those who suffer the handicap of poverty or ignorance than ever before. |. The democratic party should and must take the lead in the evolution of more intensely socialiZed life. It has the right symptoms and it has the sympathetic and balanced leader ship"
 Secretary Redfield said.
 Ordinary common sense shows that the interest of the country re- quires the election of a congress (both houses) in political sympathy with the administration. One does not swap horses while crossing the stream save in an emergency. No emergency calling for the swap exists. The pres ent team is well matched, pulling to- gether and doing the job we'll One cannot say how the new horses would behave. Let it be admitted for the sake of argument, that ne has off cially pulled fairly straight much, per haps most, of the time thus far. There are exceptions and often wis ible tendency to kick over the traces. Under our party system it is normal that the republicans should seek in advance a basis on which to found their campaign of 1920. Such a basis they hope to find. they can only find. by pecking at the admin istration between how and then. It is certain, therefore, that the election of a republican congress now must

There is plenty of evidence that British prisoners have received worse treatment throughout the war than others, except Russian.
 Such a demand will be a very i'm portant factor and it is not likely that the other allies will show less regard for their nationals who are suffering in German camps.
 Events since German peace over lures began have not tended to instil in the British hearts a spirit of con; ciliation, forgiveness or leniency to- ward the enemy.
 Sinking of the Leinster followed closely the German note; evacuation of Belgium and French towns, for years under German rule, has opened what has heretofore been largely a sealed book of rumors, and authentic stories from truthful people about German barbarism toward inhabitants have been flooding out.
 Finally yesterdays discussions in the house of commons of the treat ment of British prisoners appeared to have been about the last straw, breaking the back of British patience 2 patience which the country gener- ally sems now to think has been car ried much too far The Germans have only themselves to blame that these revelations came at a time so. un- fortunate for German interests.
 The topic was forced on the house by a strong public demand for light on the circumstances of what it terms German blackmau in refusing to ratify an argument for equitable ex- change of prisoners unless the British consented to give guarantees against deportation of Germans from China.
 Capt Craig, member of the house. an exchanged prisoner, told with emo tion of his experiences in German prison camps.
 Sir George Cave, home secretary, gave authentic details of wholesale deaths of British soldiers, kept ragged, starving and verminous. and compelled to work long hours in salt mines and under fire at the front, contrary to rules of The Hague convention, beaten and tortured and shot for petty or no offenses.
 Old parliamentary reporters say they have never seen such bitter and strong feeling pervade the house of commons. The same feeling has in fected the whole country. The only group of members who held aloof was a handful of pacifists. who appear to object to any unpleasant words about Germany more than they object to the war.
 The general nature of the military guarantees which the allies will re- quire has been outlined as the occupa- tion of strategical German bases, as well as retirement of the German

GREAT VICTORY GAINED
ON WESTERN FRONT EXCEPT FOR FRENCH ATTACK ON SHORT FRONT, THERE HAS BEEN LITTLE ACTIVITY EXCEPT ARTILLERY-PATRoL ACTIONS

UNDATED WAR LEAD, (By
 the Associated Press.)-Over a.
 front of some 60 miles from the
 Brenta river in northern Italy to
 the vicinity of the Adriatic sea,
 the Austro- -Hungarians are being
 violently attacked by Italian, Bri-
 tish, French and American troops.
 In the mountain region the en-
 emy is resisting desperately and
 holding his ground fairly well.
 But east of the Piave river he
 is in flight across the plains of
 Treviso, shaping his course over
 the same territory through which
 he drove the Italians a year ago
 and reached the eastern edge of
 the plains of Venetia-
 Already numerous towns have been liberated, 33,000 prisoners have been taken and large numbers of guns and machine guns and huge quantities of stores have fallen into hands of the allied troops. Far behind the lines al lied aviators are heavily bombing en emy columns in dense masses which are in retreat over the badly congest- ed roads leading eastward toward the Austrian frontier
 Judging the situation from the rapid advance the allies are making 1t would appear that the entire enemy front has been broken east of the Piave and that with the cavalry oper- ating far in advance of the foot troops the enemy forces will be unable to reform their battle line until the Au- strian border is reached. It is not un- likely that many of the Austro- Hun garians are doomed to capture or ex- termination by the allies.
 On the western front in France and Belgium there has been a marked di- minution in the intensity of the in- fantry activity. Along the British line there have been only patrol en- counters and recipocal bombardments. The French have, however, are en- gagged in another attack on a front of about seven and a half miles be- tween St Quentin-Lepetit and Herpy, in the general direction of the en- emy's communication lines running eastward from the old St. Quentin and Laon sectors and also with the pur- pose of driving a wedge into this part of the southern battle line and thereby compel the enemy to readiust his front through Champagne to the Mouse.
 Around Grand Pre-, north of the Ar gonne forest, the Americans have ma terially bettered their positions in at tacks against the Germans. The Belle joyuse farm which for several days has been No Mans Land now is virtu- ally all held by the Americans. East of the Mouse there has been consid- erable fighting, but it has resulted in no great change in positions.
 The big American guns are continu- ing to shell German positions far be- hind the lines and bombing planes also are intensively active against troop concentration points.

 WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-Thir- |,
 ty-three thousand Austrian troops,
 hundreds of guns and innumerable
 machine guns have been captured
 by Italian and allied forces on the
 talian front, said an official dis
 patch today from Rome. The
 332d American infantry regiment
 has gone into action and the fight
 ing now extends practically all
 along the course of the Piave
 river.
 The Austrians are resisting stub bOrnly. throwing in many new divi- sions but have not been able to stop the advancing forces. The dispatch follows:
 Our offensive is developing farther south,' said the dispatch, "and stretches practically along the course of the Piave. The third army is now in action successfully. The line be tween the Brenta and the sea Is strongly held by the greater part os the Italian army alongside of which is the 14th army corps of British troops and a French division The SS2d American regiment is also now in action.
 'The enemy is resisting with excep- tional stubbOrnness and is throwing into the fray new divisions without. however. being successful in holding back our troops. On the Grappa region the troops of the first Italian army with the support of the 18th army has been successful in beating the enemy at Segusino and has conquered Mont Gesen. The Eighth army has occupied the narrow pass of Follina and has al- ready reached Vittorio. The 10th army after having established solid bridge heads over the Montcano river has crossed the river and is advancing along the road Conegliano-O Odrzo The third army after neutraliZing the artillery fire of the enemy has crossed the Piave at San DOna Di Piave and east of Benson.
 "The number of prisoners captured up Jo the present moment amounts to SO2 officers and 32.1sS men. Hun dreds of guns have also been cap tured. It is impossible to calculate the of machine guns which have fallen into our hands.
 Tn Albania our troops after beat ing the rear guards of the enemy have occupied San Giovanni Di Medua and are rapidly advancing on Scutari-'
 An early official dispatch from Rome said that more than 100 villages and towns had been liberated since the offensive began and that the Au- strian army corps on the left had re- tired in disorder leaving behind war and several hundred guns.

The fact that the Berlin war office
takes occasion to make special an
