WINS TACTICAL POINTS
EVERYWHERE THE NEWS FROM THE BATTLEFRONT IS THE SAME WITH THE ENEMY LOSING HIGHLY VALUED POSI- TONS TO OUR MEN

UNDATED WAR LEAD, BY
 ASSOCIATED PRESs-complete
 withdrawal of the troops of the
 Tautonie allies from occupied ter
 ritory is essential to the com
 meneement of any peace discus
 sions with Germany. This fact has
 been made known to Germany and
 Austria-Huneary by President
 Wilson in answer to the recent ap-
 peal of the German imperial chan
 ceIIor for an armistiee on land and
 the sea and in the air and the
 discussion of possible means for
 ending the war.
 In addition. President Wilson is de- sirous of knowing. and has directly asked the question, for whom the i'm perial chancellor was speaking when he advanced his propOsal-whether it was for the constituted authority of the empire who have been conducting the war or for the whole German peO- pie. The president also desires to know if Germany, in seeking peace. accepts the terms already laid down by the president as the basis for the ending of hOstilities.
 Meanwhile. the entente allied forces everywhere are defeating the armies of the TeutOnic allies. In France they are fast carrying forward maneu- vers which are resulting in the en- emy's line giving way from the region of Cambrai and Verdun. Likewise in Macedonia and Turkey the cleaning up process continues unabated.
 Over a front of twenty miles. be- tween Cambrai and St. Quentin. the British. American and French troops have started a mighty drive, which. in its initial stage. has thrown the enemy back from highly prized tacti- cal positions to a depth of from two to five miles Numerous towns have been captured and seemingly all the great offensive positions of the en- emy in this region have been Obliter- ated Large numbers of prisoners have been added 70 the already great thrOngs captured since the allied of fensive began. In addition. terrible casualties were inflicted on the enemy by the heavy artillery fire at the be ginning of the attack. which began early Tuesday morning and the ma chine gun fire and rifle fire of the at- tacking forces against the enemy who resisted stubbornly at various places
 The American troops fighting along side the British always were in the van and when night fell their posi- tions were where the points of pene tration of the German lines were the greatest. At last accounts hard fight ing still was in progress, with the enemy steadily giving ground.
 On the southern part of the battle front, from the Rheims sectors to the Mouse river. the French and Amer jeans are carrying out successfully their converging movement northward and on all sectors have gained addi- tional ground
 Northeast of Berry-Au-Bac the French have driven their line to the junction of the Aisne and Suippe riv- CTS. placing the German front around LaOn and eastward in greater jeOp- lrdy. In Champagne, General GOur- aud's forces have increased their gains all the way eastward to the region of the Argonne forest. while on the eastern side of the forest. the Amer cans have improved their battle front along the Aire valley.
 In Macedonia. the Italians and Serbs are still forcing the enemy troops to retire in Albania and in Serbia, while In Palestine the British have driven he Turks more than thirty miles north )f Damascus. Reports are to the ef- 'ect that the Turkish cabinet has re- signed and that the Turks have sent
