WITH TORCH IN
HAND HUNS CRY
OUT FOR PEACE
Perpetrate Ruthless Vandal-
ism in Cambria; City Is
Mass. of Ruins
By Associated Press

With the Canadian Forces I'm
Franco, Oct. 11.-Cambrai is IA
smoking ruin. The Germans prob
ably have never perpetrated moro
ruthless nor more premeditated van
dalism than this destruction of
Cambria
France can never forget nor for
give this" remarked a French of
ficer. Torch in hand they come
Offering us peace"
When the Canadians entered Cam
brai the great public square of the
Place D'Armes virtually was intact.
Now it is mass of ruins. The ex-
plosions began at o'clock and have
continued ever since. All Wednes-
day, in every part of the town, there
were explosions of incendiary bombs
with time fuses attached and these
were followed Immediately by out
bursts of fire. In one short street
dozen houses simultaneously burst
into flames.
Buildings Blown to Pieces
The town hall, the Bishops palace
and other buildings were blown to
pieces. The cathedral still stands
but only with it's ruined chancel.
Fire is tapping the base of the great
belfry tower.
AS the hours went by the univer-
sal character of the holocaust de-
veloped. The sun was obscured
partly and it seemed like fiery ball
in the smoke and thick dust of fall
ing walls.
The Canadian engineers sought to
pen in the conflagration by dyna-
hitting the buildings, but the flames
broke out at the backs of the SOL
diers.
There remains in the city Father
Thiez, a priest of the church of st.
Druon. Two days ago he was or
dered by the Germans to leave the
city. He refused because he had
to attend a dying woman. The
Germans threatened to shoot him
but he persevered, and yesterday he
was caring for civilians who had
hidden for ten days in the cellars.

Washington, Oct. 10.-The state de-
partment has heard unofficially that
representatives of the various factions.
in Turkey already have appealed to
officials of the allied governments at
Saloniki promising to accept uncon-
ditional terms.
The non-appearance of the Turkish
peace note, reported to have been sent
simultaneously with that of Germany
and Austria, and the report from Lon
don and Paris of impending and far
reaching events in Constantinople. has
strengthened the view here that the
situation in Turkey is desperate.
It is believed by officials in touch
with Turkish affairs that the pro-
German government faces utter col
lapse, if indeed. that has not already
taken place, and that the<new govern
ment will make a direct appeal to the
allies for peace at any price.
1t is known that Twefik Pasha, the
new premier. opposed Turkeys en-
trance in the war on the side of the
central powers. 1t also is thought
possible that he stopped the note re-

appointment, SO that he could make
a direct appeal of his own.

LET ARMY GET HIM!
Periodical Wife Deserter, Spurned by
Family, Is at Large Here.


Family, Is at Large Here.
A periodical wife-deserter arrived in
town recently, and Immediately be-
came the object of search by authorf-
ties who considered him q shining
mark for military service.
The man had left his wife and fam
lily from time to time, usually during
the early infancy of each of their sew
eral children. Finally the wife had to
appeal for help to the Provident as
ISOLATION. where she vowed never to
receive the husband back, in case he
returned to the fold for temporary
shelter.
AS the wife expected, the man made
his appearance a few days ago. He
called at her lodging place in the
evening to present his case. Appar-
tell her his mission. he handed her a
letter which he had 1aboriously writ
ten out to explain his intense anxiety
to return to her favor and her fire
side. cold weather being sighted in the
offing. The epistle was an impas-
stoned love billet and a gem of it's
kind. AS the wife read it, anxious
husband stood on one foot and waited
for his answer. AS soon as the wife had
read 1t far enough to get the trend
of its meaning, she folded it, returned
it to the waiting suitor. and informed
him that she wouldn't be interested.
So husband pocketed his document
and left the house. The wife reported
his presence in town, suggesting that
she would be willing to sign a waiver
and any release required, in case the
government should signify need for
his services on the firing line
