MANY RUMORS.

LONDON, Oct l7.-Late tonight
the foreign office was still without
news OF any German reply TO PreSi-
dent Wilson or any further develop
ment in the political situation as af-
iecung Turkey or other enemy pow
ers. Rumors more tantalizing than
reliable are still coming from Hol-
land. For instance. the Nieuwe Rot
terdams2he Cuurant, which er-
roneously announced the German re-
ply, today brought alleged news of
German abandonment of the policy
OF devastation, but a Berlin dispatch
through Reuters Amsterdam cor
respondent tonight declares this an
nouncement quite baseless."
Among the rumors was one that
General Ludendorff had resigned !;
another that the German reply would
ne protest against the tone of
resident Wilson's note.
Meanwhile, with reports of the
wonderful successes and advances of
the allied armies coming in breath
loss succession the attitude of the
public is that 1t is a matter of little
consequence what reply Germany
may make. Much more interest is
GSplayed in the question whether
tne German army, pressed on every

fronts, will be able to secape.
News OF the British occupation of
Vstend was especially heartening If
