1t. Shinnon Flies From Ran.

Ground.

1t. ]. M. Shinnon, aviator, flew
from the United States Flying
school at Rantoul, ILL.,, to Omaha
Monday and made a landing near
Florence Field about 8 o'clock Mon.
day night.
The officer made the trip in a
large army bi-plane which will be
used in connection with the balloon
observation work at Fort Omaha.
Both Lieutenant Shinnon and 1t
Franklin w. Gledhill, who "f1ew
into Omaha" Wednesday, will be
stationed indefinitely at Fort Crook
in charge of the two army bi-planes
which they brought here.
Officials at the army post are not
yet willing to state just what their
work will be but explain that it is
in connection with the balloon OBJ
servation work.
Lieutenant Shinnon was accom-
panied on his flight Monday by an
army mechanic. He had some mi
nor machine trouble on his flight
but he made good time as he did
not leave Rantoul until nearly 10
o'clock Monday morning.
1t was dark when he reached
Omaha and he circled above the
city for some time before making a
landing. Aviators praise Lieuten-
ant Simmons skill in making a suc-
cessful landing in total darkness
with machine that was not in per-
feet working order.
Omaha's first ayiators are both
young men. They are modest about
their feats of daring and are already
popular with army officials here.

So Regarded in Washington,
but Official Text Awaited
Before Reaching Con.
CIusions.
NO OFFICIAL COMMENT YET
Believed, However, Does Not
Close Door to Further
Changes; Armistice in
Balance.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Oct. 21.-4
Germany has replied to Pres
ident Wilson with a note,
which, though no one is pre-
pared to say it will lead the
president even to continue ex-
changes on the subject of an
armistice and peace, at least
has served almost to bring
conviction here that the peo-
pie of Germany actually are
taking the reins of govern
ment and sincerely desire
peace on any terms the
United States and the allies
ARE willing to give.
There was no intimation
tonight Of the attitude Of the
president and probably there
will be none until the official
text of the new German COM
munication has been re-
ceived. The president was in
conference all evening with
Secretary Lansing, discussing
the note as received by wire
less late in the day. Like the
reply to the presidents in
quiries a week ago, this note
was sent out from the Ger
man wireless stations and
picked up in the allied coun-
tries many hours before the
official text could move by
cable. The official version
probably will come tomorrow
through the Swiss legation
here. f.
Note Garbled.
AS received by wireless the note
is believed to be slightly garbled in
the important sentences regarding
conditions for the evacuation Of IN
vadel territory and for an armis-
tice, but nevertheless it is regarded
as an awkward attempt to meet the
conditions laid down by President
Wilson for consideration of an arm
istlce. And it makes the signif-
cant declaration that the govern
ment in Berlin no longer is respon-
sible to a single arbitrary influence
the kaiser-but is supported by
an overwhelming majority of the
German people.
This declaration is supported by
the statement that Institutional re-
forms are in progress in accord
with the determir ton of the people
under which no government can
take or hold office without the con-
hdence of the majority of a reich
stag elected by universal, secret suf-
trage. 1t is accorded more consid-
Grafton here because of confidential
advices received only today indicat-
ing that the German middle classes
nave resolved to have peace at any
price and if necessary are prepared
&C rid of the kaiser, the crown
prince and all military control.
Looks Genuine.
Thus the belief is strengthened
tnat the present note and those that
have gone before are genuine ef.
orts to obtain peace and are in-
conclusive merely because the Ger.
mans conducting the exchanges are
seeking ID barter for something bet.

too soon.

GREAT FLANDERS
BATTLEPASSES
into new PHASE
Allies Sweeping Movement
Pivotlng on Point East of
Courtrai; Enemy Bat
>t|ing FierceIy.
By Associated Press.

With the Allied Armies in France
and Belgium, Oct. 21.-The great
battle in Flanders and northern
France passed into its second phase
today. The first phase was COM
pleted when the Lille salient was
eliminated and the Germans were
driven out of western Belgium, so
that the line all the way from the
frontier of Holland to the Disc
canal is virtually a straight one.
This having been accomplished,
the Belgians, British and French in
the north started sweeping move
ment today pivoting on a point
about east Of Courtrai. The object
OF this appears to be the clearing
OF the enemy from his front in
northern Belgium and at the same
time to threaten his extreme right
flank. r.
The key position at the south is
in the region below Valenciennes.
AT both places the exhausted Ger
man divisions, whose ranks have
had great holes chopped into them
by terrific blows, are fighting with
the greatest desperation.
Sacrifice Men
The German commanders are sac
rificing many men in their endeav-
ors to hold their ground, but in
both sections the allied troops have
smashed into the enemy and made
appreciable gains. Scores of addi-
tional villages have been reclaimed
and numerous prisoners and large
quantities of supplies have been
captured.
In the center of the battle area,
the British kept thrusting out every
where and gradually during the day
moved toward the west bank of the
Scheldt with increasing CELEBRITY.
The Germans have taken advan-
tage of the natural protection Of
fered by the width of this stream
and its canal and marshy borders.
They are hiding behind it in shallow
trenches and are showing nervous
ness as the allies approach. Back
of their artillery. the strength OF
which has been greatly depleted. is
giving some support.
The Germans have their cannon
close to the roads and on them. so
that when it becomes necessary to
withdraw the guns, they can get
away in a hurry. In their retreat
the Germans have resorted to every
known means to delay the bringing
up Of the artillery but without effect.
