~ HE text of the latest peace not
to Germany follows:
have the honor 20 request
YOU to transmit the following
communication to the German gov
eminent:
n my note of October %, 1913,
I advised you that the president had
transmitted his correspondence with
the German authorities to the gov
ernmentS with which the govern
mcnt of the United States is as
sociated as a belligerent, with the
suggestion that, If those govern
ments were disposed to accept peace
upon the terms ana principles IN
dicated, their military advisers and
the military advisers of the United
States be asked to submit to the
governments associated against Ger
many the necessary terms of such
an armistice as would fully pro-
tect the interests of the peoples in
volved and insure to the associated
governments the unrestricted power
to safeguard and enforce the de-
tails of the peace to which the Ger
man government had agreed, provi0-.
ed they deem such an armistice
possible from the military point OF
view.
1.-THE president is now in receipt
Of q memorandum of observations
by the allied governments on this
correspondence, which is as follows:
The allied governments have
given careful consideration to the
correspondence which has passed be-
tween the president of the United
States and the German government
Subject to the qualifications which
follow they declare their willing
ness to make peace with the govern
ment of Germany on the terms of
peace laid down in the presidents
address to congress of January,
1918, and the principles of settle
ment enunciated in his subsequent
addresses. They must point out.
however, that clause 2, relating to
what is usually described as the
freedom of the seas, is open to va
rious interpretations, some of
which they could not accept. They
must, therefore, reserve to- them
selves complete freedom on this
subject when they enter the peace
conference.
Further, in the conditions of
peace laid down in his address to
congress Of January s, 1918, the
president declared that invaded ter
ritories must be restored as well
as evacuated and freed. The allied
governments feel that no doubt
ought to be allowed to exist as to
what this provision implies. BY t,
they understand that compensation
will be made by Germany Tor all
damage done to the civilian popula-

BELIEVE DECISIVE
BLOW ID Being
SIkUCK Al HUNS

PARIS, Nov. "a battle which Is
believed here to be decisive is now go-
ing on. 1t is being waged Ia two sec
tions. In the north the blow delivered
by the British armies OF Generals Horn,
Byng and tsawlinson and by the French
unoer General Debeney IS a threat lev
eled at one of the flanks of the vast
pocket formed by the German lines
from hOIland TO Metz.
The object OF TINS offensive is tn
drive dangerous wedges either north OF
or south OF the river in the direction
of AvesEes and Maubeuge. The result
may be a widespread retreat of the
German armies IN Belgium, or those still
between the, Disc and the Aisne.
Excellent results have been realized
SO far. The Sambre river and canal
have been crossed. This was the last
line OF resistance west of the frontier,
which may be soon reached In that re-
gton. According to latest information
the allied advance continues, notwith-
standing desperate resistance by the en-
envy.
The second section of the attack is
being conducted by Generals Gouraud
and Light, on the Meuse. This is
the great strategic offensive which the
Germans have always reared and which
they sought TO make impossible Dy
storming Verdun in 1916.
The arm OF the Franco-American Of
fensive is to pinch out the whole pock-
ct. American troops are at Beaumont.
That is less than eight miles from
Lamouilly station, northwest of Mont
medy, on the great shuttle railroad run
ming between ThionViIle, Sedan and Me-
zieres. Even better, the opening OF a
fresh attack by the Americans on the
east bank of the Mouse may bring
them into the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. re-
gion That may mean, not only the
cutting of the railroad, but making 1T
impossible for the enemy to form upon
the Mouse line because that front could
no longer be Joined up with that or

Soldering Realization of Stag
gering Taxes for Crimes
May SWerve Germans to DeS-
perate Resistance to Allies

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.--Tremendous
indemnities for her baroarism confront
Germany.
Whether that fact will delay or deter
her acceptance of the United States and
allied arrnistice terms constituted an
absorbing topic of speculation today.
The logic of the situation appeared
to be that she would yield, as she can
never get better terms, it is stated.
The SOLDERING realization of years OF
taxes for her crimes, however, may
swerve Germany into desperate effort
to rally her retreating armies, her war
worn populace, and to fight on.
However, President Wilson's note,
showing that the allies gave Foch the
armistice to transmit, that freedom Of
the seas goes to the peace conference
and that restorative inde.nnitteS must
be paid does not, in fact, alter the basic
And, it was pointed out Germany ac-
cepted that formula, leaving details to
be worked out at the peace table.
Hence, the note may not change the
the armistice.
It was pointed out that President
Wilson declared for restoration" OF
invaded territories. The allies at Yer
interpreted as hard cash for damages
done the allied civilian population and
property by land, sea and air.
If Germany had an idea that big
restorative indemnities were not in
tended by the president, it is foreseen
that she may fight on, desperately hop
ing for better terms later However
if she foresaw that heavy indemnities
were intended. there is little reason to
believe that she will strive on.
In this connection, it is pointed out
that the allied military situation is
ideal. They have Germany fast APP
preaching a rout. The Boches will be
quickly forced up to Namur. and prob
ably can make no determined stand
short of the German, frontier. Ana.
Germany is menaced via Austria and
via Italy. The Germans are literally
fighting the world, and the end is in
evitable-and memorable.

.YANKS CROSS
MEUSE RIVER
UNDER FIRE


WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY on
THE SEDAN FRONT. Nov. 5.-1:16
j. M)-fBy the Associated Press. y
Bitter fighting is taking place today
along the Mouse river. American patrols
again have succeeded in crossing the
river at ,Brieulles on n pontoon bridge
constructed under fire. At other points
along the front, the Americans were
accommodating other crossings.
The Germans have blown up the
bridge across the Mouse between Laneu-
willie, on the west bank, and the impor-
tant town of Stenay, on the east bank.
After the pontoon bridge at Brieulles
had been constructed the Americans
threw a second bridge across the Meuse
at Clery-Le-Petit and began developing
4 new line on the heavily-wooded ana
very difficult ground east of the river
between Clery and Brieulles, l.
mile front.
The town of Pouilly. in the bend of
the AIeuse northwest of Stenay, was
west of the Meuse. The west bank or
the river now is held in its entirety
as far north as Pouilly.
The troops which crossed to the east
bank OF the Mouse found their ad-
vance opposed by bitter machine gun
and artillery fire. This was overcome,
however, and the Americans are max
ing steady progress.
The village of Beaumont, directly
west of Pouilly, has been taken by the
forces which advanced from the heights
which they held below the town. The
important town of Stenay, across the
Mouse to the southeast. is now half sur
rounded.
The Americans early today began
clearing out Jaulnay wood, IN the bend
OF the MeuSe southeast of Pouilly, and
possession.
German troops who had remained
west OF the Mouse began to flee across
the river early today along the line
North and smith StNmaV- After de-
stroying the bridge from Stenay to
Laneuville. the enemy opened the locks
of the canal and flooded the river to a
width OF about two-thirds Of a mile.
