What's Pulling

WASHINGTON, Oct i2-A diplo-
matte dispatch received here Yesterday
SAYS General Won Ardenne writes in
the Berlin Tageblatt:
General Foch has obtained sue
cesses so important and so plainly evi-
dent that the central powers have now
lost nearly all tlr benefit of previous
oiiensive' and many people wonder
what is the mysterious power oontinu-
ously pulling back the German armies
though they were meant I, go onward"
The StraSsburg Post is quoted as
saying:
The military situation in the west
causes the most fantastic rumors TO be
newly spread again People begin to
fear the collapse OF our front and the
enenys rush into Germany. All those
who have not lost their heads and who
still reserve the mastery OF their nerves
ought to feel it their duty to 60 against
such rumorS."
