Washington. Oct. 15.-President VIII
son has answered Germany's peace
proposal with decision which not
only fulfills the expectations OF sup
porters OF diplomacy, but also dispels
the fears of those who predicted he
would substitute victories Mt arms
with defeats at diplomacy. No peace
with kaiserism; autocracy must go;
no armistice can even be thought OF
while Germany continues her atroci-
ties on land and sea; one cannot be
considered unless 1t fully is dictated
by the allied commanders in the field
in such terms as absolutely provide
safeguards and guarantees that Ger
manys part will not be scrap of pa
per-this, in few words. is the Pres
ident's answer.
II II does not bring a capitulation
which may be more then an uncondi-
tional surrender, allied diplomats and
American officials believe 1t may
cause a revolution in Germany.
Beyond question it speaks for the
entente as well as the United States.
The dispatch of the Presidents re-
ply was followed by the issuance of
the following formal statement by
Secretary Tumulty:
THE government will continue to
send over 250.000 men with their sup
plies every month, and there will be
no relaxation of any kind"

London, Oct 16.-The British Sec

reached Le Chate, on the Courtrai-In-
gelmunster road. and has captured the
villages OF Gullcghern and Heule. The
British have advanced to the outskirts
Of Courtrai This announcement was
made by the war office. which also
corroborated the Belgian and French
successes in Flanders.
Since the morning Of October IA the
allies have taken 1900 prisoners. and
more than 100 guns in the operations
in Belgium. In addition to occupying
Menin, the British have entered Wer-
vicQ and are standing on the right
bank of the Lys.
The entente forces in Belgium and
France continue successfully to drive
the enemy before them. In Belgian
Flanders the advance is somewhat rap
Id, but on all the sectors in France the
Germans are fighting with desperation
to hold back their foes.
The great wedge that is being driv-
en- by the Belgian, British and French
troops in Flanders now threatens seri-
ously the tenure by the enemy of
many positions in north Belgium from
the Lys river to the sea, including his
submarine and other bases along the
coast. while to the south the Lille sal
lent gradually is being enmeshed and
doubtless soon Will receive attention
from the pincers, which are being
oiled for the task of reclaiming this
important tract of territory as far as
Valenciennes for France.
Meanwhile the French and American
forces are struggling valiantly forward
in their drive northward from the
Champagne region into the country
over which the Germans must effect
n retirement to their own border in
the event of a final debacle. AS has
been the case always since the often

tant from the town West of Grandpre
they have effected further crossings
Of the Aisne. About 800 Germans
were taken prisoner In this fighting.
In Flanders the British have taken
the important railway center of Menin.
Thourout has fallen and the Thourout-
Courtrai railroad has almost been won
Numerous towns have been recaptured
by the allied forces and large num-
bers of prisoners have been taken.
Many guns also have fallen into the
hands of the allies. The capture of
Thourout completely outflanks the
German submarine base at Ostend and
brings the allied troops within ten
miles of Bruges. whence the railroad
line runs northward to Zeebrugge.

372 SOLDIERS MISSING
s. TRANSPORT oTRANTo
WRECKED AT SEA.
Hole Torn In Side When Rsmmed in
Collision. in North Channel by
Steamer kashmir.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
A British Port, Oct. 12-At least
372 American soldiers are believed to
have been lost as the result of the
sinking of the transport Otranto in
the north channel between the Scot
tish and Irish coasts In collision
with the steamer Kashmir The OF
ranto after the collision was dashed
10 pieces on the rocks off the south
Scottish coast.
Three hundred and one men were
taken to Belfast by the British de-
stroyer Mounsey, the only vessel
which made an attempt at rescue in
the terrific gale when the Kashmir,
another vessel in the convoy with the
Otranto. rammed the Otranto amid
ships.
Seventeen men were picked up alive
on the Scottish coast. OF the G99
American soldiers on board the OF
ranto, $40 were landed. Seventeen
were rescued alive at Islay, leaving
372 unaccounted for.
The Otranto and the other vessels
OF the convoy were battling with the
high winds Sunday morning. The
storm was SO severe and the visibil-
ity SO bad that the Kashmir, for
mer Peninsular and Oriental liner,
crashed into the Otranto squarely
amidships.
The Kashmir backed away badly
damaged. but was able to make port.
AS the bows of the Kashmir were
pulled from the great hole in the side
OF the Otranto the water rushed in.
but for time it did not stop the en-
gines. The Otranto tried to proceed.
but made no headway against the gale
in her crippled condition.
Within short time the water put
out her fires and the Otranto drifted
helplessly toward the rocky coast of
Islay island, where most of the Tus-
cania victims met their deaths.
When 1t was seen that Craven would
make the attempt anyway. the men
were ordered to remove their shoes
and heavy clothing and try tc save
themselves as best they could.

SECOND DRAFT CALL
SOUNDED WITHIN A WEEK

Another draft call has been sent
to the various state governors for
1888 men to be modified between
May l and 10. Kentucky's quota will
be 1926.
This call increases to more than
100000 the number of select men
ordered to camp since late in March.
This is far in excess of the month
ly average that would have been
modified under the original plan to
call 100000 men this year over a
nine months period. Future calls at
the same rate would complete the
program before midsummer.
Under President Wilson's deter
mination to hasten the dispatch of
American troops to France to rein
force the British and French armies
bearing the brunt of the great Ger
man drives in Flanders and Pr
cardy, the whole program of the
army is speeding up. Only a week
ago General Crowder ordered mob
ilization of 100000 select men for
April 26, and their movement to
the national army environments dur
ing the five days following.
The army posts to which the men
will go are Fort Slocum, New York;
Fort Thomas, Kentucky; Fort Ogle-
