POSTPONE CALL
fRY Associated. Press.l

Washington, Nov. 8.-Provost
Marshal General Crowder called into
conference today the heads of all
sections Of his Office to discuss pos
sible suspension Of the November
draft calls under which more than
100000 men had been ordered to ar
my camps.
While General Crowder would not
discuss what representations he
might make to the general staff, it is
understood that his advisers will ad-
vocate withdrawal of the November
call. at least if the Germans accept
the American and allied armistice
terms before the movements to
camps begin. l-~-.
I. With 100000 men already under
arms over seas and. at home, the
feeling is growing that no more will
be needed, even though it may be a
long time before American forces
can be recalled from France and
some additional men may be sent ov-
er.
Beginning Monday $4,000 men or
dered to proceed to camp before
Nov. Is, included suspended calls re-
placed in force. Whether that flow
can be stopped depends entirely up
on the armistice progress and the
general staffs view of Germany's
power of future resistance,

With the American forces on the
Sedan front, NoY. 8.-Thei American
front continued inactive this after
noon so far as the infantry was ocn-
cerned and the enemy was taking
advantage OF the lull to remove as
many Of his units and pieces of
artillery as possible.
The roads leading eastward from
Sedan, Stenay, Contains and Lon
guyon are reported by the Ameri-
can aviators to be acked with can
non and various vehicles making
in the direction of Metz. The
vehicles are laden with everything
portable.
The southern portion OF Sedan and
the towns of Stenay> and Mouzon
are reported on fire.
The artillery fire on both sides
continues fairly active and an Amer
lean division east of the Meuse re-
ports a gas and high explosive
bombardment of unusual intensity.
The relative positions of the
forces remain unchanged.

Crossed the Line Last Night
Paris, Friday, Nov. S.-German
delegates sent to the French front
TO receive from General Foch the
allied terms for an armistice, cross
ed the allied line near LaCapelle
last night.
Foeh's Aides
They were taken to a house where
preparations had been made to re-
ceive them. They stayed there dur
ing the night and this morning were
conducted to a place in the depart
ment Of the Aisne which Is the meet
ing place fixed by Marshal Foch.
This trip will take about four hours.
Marshal Foch will have with him
Admiral Sir Roslyn Weymss. first
sea lord of Great Britain. and Mai.
Gen. Maxine Weygand of the French
army. Marshal Foch's assistant,
Foeh's Powers Limited
The powers conferred upon Mar
shall Foch are strictly confined to
the conclusion of an armistice, ac-
cording to the Echo de Paris. The
amendments to the terms placed in
his hands by the Inter-AlIied council
are closely limited. the newspapers
say.
Given 72 Hours to Reply
If the credentials of the German
armistice delegates are found ade-
quate, they will be informed official
ly what the terms of the armistice
are and that they will have time
limit of 70 hours In which to reply.
Germany Trying TO Dodge
Paris. Nov. S.-The tests Of the
wireless exchanges between Marshal
Foch and the German high command
show signs, the morning newspapers
declare, that Germany is still deter
mined to cloud the issue in every
way possible, apparently with the
object of at least gaining time. If
they cannot gain anything else.
The Matin says: Berlin and all
Germany are striding rapidly tow
ards a revolution. The substitution
OF a responsible secretary of state
for Admiral Won Hintze was inspired
by this grave peril. The commission
must have with it a man able to
sign Immediately without referring
to Berlin. An attempt must be made
at any price at this phase for Prince
Macmillan to open negotiations in
favor of peace.
Teutcps peIuded
Needless to say the German gov
ernment is the victim OF a persistent
illusion. Marshal Foch will refuse to
come out or his province, winch Is
strictly military. and he also will
certainly refuse any suspension Of
hostilities until the armistice is ae-
ceDted.
E'It is possible that the idea domin-
ating the men at Berlin Is much
less TO convince the rebels and the
general staff of the necessity of Civ
ing In" says the Echo de Paris,
than to defect the pour parleurs
toward a humane peace, Germany's IS
representatives soon win be unde-
ceived."
Other commentators write in tho
same vein and invariably conclude
by asserting that Germany'g capitu-
lation is not far away.

the Germans retreating toward the
Belgian frontier. The advance con-
tinued over the greater part OF the
French front with such rapidity that
it was impossible to follow it with
any precision. Latest reports are that
the French cavalry is moving toward
the Meuse while the infantry is ad-
vancing toward Mezieres.
General Debeny's forces also were
close upon the German rear guards,
occupying numerous villages and
carrying their advance toward Hir-
son. The capture of this important
railway center will bring about the
final crumbling Of the transportation
organization of the German armies
in France.
Subsequent operations may take on
the character of a race between the
armies in retreat and those in pursuit

successes have made the line of the

With the American Army on the
Sedan Front. Nov. THE Ameri-
cans Thursday east of the Meuse
fought over some of the toughest
country in France. taking the heights
south of the Woevre forest and adj
yancing more than four kilometres,
notwithstanding desperate rear
guard activity of the German ma
chine gunners. .-s
Hill $50; the great hogback be-
tween IIaon and Maryaux, was taxi
en- in the morning, by the Americans.
The Americans pushed through the
series of woods and over the rolling
country. reaching the . regions Of
BandeVilIe, Breheville and Lissey.
The German machine gunners
fought as if they never had heard OF
peace talk, holding. to their nests in
many cases until they were killed or
blasted out by the American arttl-
lery. In rear guard actions, machine
gunners fell back into series Of
fox holes and dugouts. all well sup
piled with cartridges, the rear guard
lighters carrying their guns from
trench to the other shelter until shot
or taken prisoner.
After an all day struggle in the
dense woods and hills the Ameri-
cans late today reached to most
easterly heights of the Meuse, DOM
mating moiles of open country north
of Domyillers. the Germans literally
having been pushed out Of every
foot of ground.
No Hesitancy Shown
With the American Army on the
Sedan Front, Nov. S-The matter OF
peace negotiations failed to slow
down in the slightest degree the op-
erations along the front today. The
news that Germany has taken def
mite steps to secure an armistice
reached advanced headquarters, but
was not accompanied by any orders
affecting the big drive now in prog
ress. and it is said that the Amer
lean line will be carried forward
without pause.
, With that part of Sedan resting
on the western bank Of the river oc-I
cupied, the American army is con-
solidating it's positions and prepar-
ing for a further advance.
Violosnes, Sivry and Haraumont,
to the south and east of Dun-Sur~
Meuse, were among the places TAX
en- this morning. The American
troops are in close touch with the
line between Inor. and Martincourt
where the roadbed has been destroy
ed, the material having been carried
away to strengthen the German po-
sitions on the heights beyond.
To the south of this Remilly is
captured 1t is, evident that the
Germans are determined not to yield
unless absolutely forced to do so.
They have made big concentrations
on the heights back Of the city and
in such places as can be defended
both above and below on the river.
Concrete entrenchments near the
city are strongly held. while all the
woods and bridges in the neighbor
hood have either been destroyed or
mined.

and of the First division that made
the final whirlwind dash into Sedan.
1t is now permissible to mention
the divisions which participated IN
the famous drive that cleared that
part of France west Of the Meuse
occupied by the Americans.
1t was the Second division which,
operating at the center, made a
strenuous push. on the afternoon Of
the day the Germans began to weak

trolled the heights below Baumont.
This made possible the shelling OF
the Mezieres- Metz railway.
The Fifth regulars crossed the
Meuse under enemy machine gun
fire, aided by the Thirty-second di-
vision and covered themselves with
glory for four successive days.
