Paris, Oct. 3.-The Germans are
moving their heavy artillery away
from the Belgian coast, according
to reports here.
Move Toward Belgian Line.
Along the road running from the
st. Quentin-C Cambria line in northern
France, long trains of transports are
moving back toward the Belgian
frontier. Allied aviators have re-
ported this first indication that the
defeated enemy has begun to retreat
before the thrusts of the British,
French and Americans along this line.
Famous Position untenabie.
While the battle still RACES fiercely
along the front, where for the last
five days a titanic struggle has been
going or, the enemy evidently realizes
that the inroads made by the Allies
on the Hindenburg line have shat
tered that famous position and made
it untenable.
Retreat Actually in Progress.
Military observers expect, now that
a retirement is actually in progress,
that the whole German line will crum-
BILE as the Teutonic armies make their
way back to their next defensive posi-
tions.
Remove Archives to Germany.
London, Oct. 3.-The Daily Express
learns from it's Amsterdam co%rrespon-
dent that Baron Won Falkenhausen al
ready has ordered the removal of all
archives from Brussels. A great array
of vans containing luggage and boxes
of documents Is said to be ready to
start on the homeward journey.
I'VE Won't Be Here Long"
German soldiers in Belgium are
quoted as openly saying, I'VE wont
be here longer than six weeks"
The Belgian population is secretly
joyous, but does its best to restrain
all manifestations of ~jubilation lest
the invaders order the usual punitive
measures.
The correspondent adds that the
pressure of majority socialists prob
ably will force the Inauguration this
week of a parliamentary government
in Germany, with an accompanying
peace offer on moderate terms"
Airmen Not Sheiled.
Three days ago Allied airmen flew
over Brussels, dropping thousands OF
proclamations, saying:
Have patience. The hour of lib
erty is in sight"
The Germans didn't turn anti-air-
craft guns on these aviators.
Withdraw on American Left,
With the American Army Northwest
of 'Verdun, Oct. 3.-The enemy APP
pears to be Withdrawing on the Amer
lean left. Broadly speaking, he is go
ing in the direction of the j~uncture
of the Brunhild and Kriemholde sys.

picturesque figure on the police force
for more than 40 years, is dead here.
For Is years prior to his retirement,

London, Oct. 3.-Germany, if reports
from a neutral center can be relied
upon, is going to make a great effort
to maintain communication over the
Orient railway with Turkey and thus
hopes to keep her Eastern ally in the
war.
According to a Hague dispatch to
the Central News, 100000 German and
Austro-H Hungarian troops have arrived
at Sofia from Roumania and while
part of these will remain in Sofia as
an argument favoring the overthrow
of the Malinoff government, the ma
jority will endeavor to keep the Allied
troops from the Orient railway, which
joins Germany and Austria with Con-
stantinople, the capture of which a
few years ago vas hailed as the great
est achievement of the Central powers.
The removal of troops from Rou-
mania. however, is not without dan
ger. A few weeks ago, when appealed
to by his colleagues on the Western
front for assistance, Field Marshal
Won Mackensen reported that condi.
tiOns i'm Roumania did not warrant the
transfer of a single soldier to that
country. Now Roumanians are pre-.
dieting that if the Roumanian army
does not reioin the Allies there will
be at least a rising in that country
which will completely nullify the Blu.
charest treaty SO far as it provides
for the revictualling of the Central
powers.
London Papers See End.
The loss of the Bulgarians to the
Central alliance Is regarded by the
London morning papers as foreshad
owing the end of the great four years
tragedy. The editorial writer's for the
most part are unable to see how Tur.
key can avoid following the Bulgarian
lead, while some believe that Austro.
Hungary must do the same.
For Germany IL is held that the sur
render spells ruin to her hopes In the
Middle East and her aspirations oil
world empire.
"Feelers" have been put out by
Turkey for an armistice, the Evening
News says it understands.
While these advances are said to be
semi-official, no notice will be taken Of
them, the article states, until an of
fetal telegram is received.

GERMANS STANDING ALONE
Berlin Paper Asserts People Have
Backs to the Wall.

Washington, Oct. 3.-An official dis
patch from France quotes the German
Socialist newspaper Vorwaerts on the
Bulgarian situation as follows:
Bulgaria deserts the Central alli-
ance to make peace. We the German
people, then remain alone to face the
French, English and the Americans,
our backs to the wall and death facing
us. Such is the situation that we have
in view today and we must meet it
with the necessary courage"
The Berlin Lokal Anzeiger says:
mo one can avoid seeing how great
the danger is owning to the Bulgarian
crisis. 1t would be a crime to con-
ceal it."
