 Valenciennes has fallen, the allied troops in Italy maintain their pursuit of the Austrians, and west of the lMeuse and in Flanders Marshal Foch continues to press the Germans.
 Canadian troops captured the' in:- portant town of Vallenciennes aften bitter fighting for more than 24 hours ill the area south of the town. The Germans fought tenaciously 60 regain Valenciennes, but the British overpowered the enemy resistance in desprat struggles.
 With Valenciennes gone the Ger mans not unlikely will have to give up Tournai and to retreat both i'll Flanders and south of Velenc1ennes. British possession of the, town and the area east of the Sheldt south of Valenciennes outflanks the. enemy defend Maubeuge and Mons. It is evident the Germans must retire or suffer heavy losses in attempting to maintain insecure positions from Ghent to the region north of the Aisne. The main German position behind the present front, is the Ant line.
 In Belgium the allies, including American troops,s have reached the Scheldt on wide front southwest of Ghent and are reported to be west >of the river at Eecke, seven miles southwest. of Ghent. Ghent is being outflanked

Between Asiago and the Piove the allies have advanced to the Brenta at rigno, capturing many in- portant mountain heights. The Ans trians apparently are fleeing precipi- tately northward through the Tren- tino, leaving thousands of prisoners and hundreds of guns.

BOCHES MUST ADMIT THEY SAYS FRENCHMAN

Washington, Nov. 2.-In answering the terms of armistice to be submit ted by tho allies and the United States the Germans must say wheth- CT they confess that they are beaten,' ? Andre Tardieu, French high com missioner to the United States, de- clared in a statement issued tonight.
 "Should they comics it," said Com missioner Tardieu, "the war will end through the acceptance of our condi- tions. Should they not, we shall en- force that acceptance by means of a last resort, the outcome of which cannot be doubtful"
 The armistice now being framed by the Supreme War Council at Versail- les, M. Tardieu said, will, in his opin- ion, include everything it ought to include."
 American troops, said MT. Tardieu, have brought to the understanding of Germany, "already doomed by our re- sistance, the realization that theid nownfall was unavoidable and would be speedy one."
 "From the military and political standpoint our situation is excellent"

gates have crystalized into ultimate terms to be offered to Germany. Aside fdom the danger from an open discussion while questions are still unsettled, it is regarded as discourt- eous between nations for one of the parties to the conference to make any isclosures until an agreement has been reached. It is even probable that this rule will govern until the terms have been presented to Germany.
 Same As Turkish Tedms.
 In some quarters there is disposi- tion to tudn to the Turkish armistice as affording a very likely precedent in its general principles to the de- mands to be made upon Germany though, there would of necessity, be great variations in the details owing to the different conditions.

NAVAL TERMS 0f ARMlS1|CE ARE
 VIEWS 0F BENSON
Understood That Versailles Conference Naval Terms
 Acceptable.

Washington, Nov. 2.-Naval terms of admistice agreed to yesterday by the supreme war council at Versailles are in substantial accord with the views on this subject submitted by the United States government thru Admiral Benson. This was learned here today, though the exact nature of the terms to which Germany will be required to submit, still is held under a confidential seal.
 No announcement is expected to come from Versailles, until the coun- Gil has completed it's entire task. It was determined in advance. that no good would come of piece-meaI pub licity.
 As to the nature of the naval safe guards, and guarantees to be demand ed of Germany as the price of cessa- tion of hostilities, however, it is stated, that the most cautious public operation will be satisfied when the terms are disclosed. They are said to leave nothing to chance. If they are accepted bp the enemy, it is declared, man may sail where they will on any sea, with the certainty that there will be renewaul of the submarine terror.
 The views of the United States on this vital side fthe armistce did not fully formulate when Admiral Benson left for France Vice Admiral Sims, American Naval Commander Abroad. had reviewed the situation and found officials of allied admiralties in har- mony with America nieas.

MARCH ASSERTS
 ONE NATION IS
 LEFT ID FIGHT

The debacle of, Germanys allies is being pressed to completion. General March, said today, and the events of the past week in the wordl war, have resulted in the concentration, of ene my resistance, in one nation.
 Resistance of the Germans on the west front has continued and the greatest allied advance has been reg istered on the Italian. front, where Maximum pdogress of thirty seven miles has been made. General March said the object of the allies on this front was the cutting of the Austrian line of withdrawal. "This has been accomplished" he added.
 General March identified the Amer ican forces in Italy sthe 332nd in- fantry regimhent with ambulance bat talions, 5, 6, Il, 12, 13, Field hospital 102. In addition there are certain air service training units.
 The new Franco-American attack on both sides of the Argonne already the chief of staff, explained, has pro- gressed to such an extent that de- cided pocket has been formed in the German lines, indicating the necessity of an early withdrawal, from the northern portion of the Argonne For est. This would bring the American forces with their heaviest artillery nearer the main German railway line through Stenay.
 General March announced that in- fluenza conditions among troops ar irving in France, have improced so materially, that deaths from the dis ease practically have stopped. A recent transport, convey, carrying 25,- 900 men, arrived at an American port of debarkation, he said, with only 78 cases of influenza.
 Regimental units Identified and To- cated by General March included the Hath engineers, with the first Army west of the Mouse, and the 52nd pion- ger infantry with the fifth army corps in the same territory. These are not part of any division.
 General March said the 90th divis- ion .(Texas and Oklahoma) is repodt- ed in action with the first army west of the Mouse on October 23. The 30th Tennessee, Nodth and South Carolina and District of Columbia) is with the British in Picardy.
 In reply to questions regarding in- dividual units, General March said the 89th division, (Kansas, Missouri, South Dakota, Colorado New Mexico, and Arizona) was last reported in action October 29 between the Argon- ne and the Mouse.
 The 35th division, (Missoudi and Kansas)-has not been on the front line since September, although it is attached to the first army. The 92nd, (Negroes from Camp Dodge) is on the line east of the Moselle.
 The 37th (Ohio) has been on line in the Vosges, but more recently it's headquarters was reported in the Woevre. .f r.
 The 8Sth (North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa. and Western Illinois, command ed by Major-General Wm. Weigel, is on line in the Belfort sector in AL sace near the Swiss bodder; the 26th (New England) has been in action east of the Mouse.
