the peace conditions of th,.
allies.
LONDON, Oct. 25, Friday.
Arthur Henderson, leader of the
labor party in the house of COM
mons, said today that his first
impression of President Will
sons note to Germany was that
it would assist very materially
in clarifying the situation.
ut is of the highest import
ance that the German people
should be encouraged to look,
not for temporary cessation of
hostilities, but for a permanent
discrediting and destruction of
the militaristic and arbitrary
system that has involved them
and nearly the whole world in
unprecedented suffering and loss
of life," he said.
'If the German people are
honestly seeking peace" he con-
tinued, 'They should do all in
their power to Immediately pro-
vide such political safeguards
and constitutional guarantees
for the future world peace that
no section of their population
will be in position if so disposed
to influence resumption of mill
tary effort. AS President Will
son has clearly shown, the best
safeguard against a future war,
is the reduction, at least to vir-
tual impotency, of all the forces
upon whom rests the direct res
possibility for the horrors of the
present struggle"

INCREASED EXPRESS
RATES APPROVED
(By Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Oct 26.-The In
terstate commerce commission today
approved proposed increases in ex-
press rates to become effective unless
another method of givin gthe Ameri-
can railway express company added
revenue is worked out with the rail-
road administration.
The commission suggested that a
more scientific method OF providing
added revenue for the express COM
pany would be to change the contract
with the railroad administration to
to give the express company a larger
proportion of transportation charges.
In view of this suggestion it is prob
able that the railroad administration
and the express companies will take
up negotiations which may result in
cutting the proposed increase about
in half. Meanwhile the new rate will
not go into effect.

BATTLE FLAMES
UP AGAIN over
WESTERN FRONT
Three Large Attacks Are Con-
Quoted With Equal Success
for Allies.
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Oct. 26.-The battle has
famed up again and heavy fighting
now is under way from Valenciennes
to the Meuse. The Germans are fight
ing well everywhere, but the allies
continue to make substantial headway
in the task of driving beack the en-
emy on the Meuse line.
Although the recent fighting has
been marked by no sensational de-
velopments, it is having a cumulative
effect, which, apart from the ground
gained. adds considerably to the vast
age of men and material with which
the Germans must reckon. In the last
four days the enemy has lost well up
ward of $4,000 prisoners and 200 guns.
His total loss of electives cannot have
been less than $4,000.
Strictly speaking, there are three
large battles in progress, all of which
are being conducted with equal sue
cess for the allies. The first is being
carried on by the British third and
fourth armies, which, pushing on to-
ward Mons, have reached the Valen-
ciennes-Hirson double-track railroad.
The second is the attack Of General
Mangin north and east of Laon, which
has resulted in a gain on a front of
eight miles for a distance of two miles.
He has carried his line out of the
swamps around scissors. The third
battle is being fought by General Gull
laumat on a front of seventeen miles
from .Sissons to Chauteau Porcien,
where the Hunding line joins the Krj-
emhild system of defenses. The ave-
rage gain has been a mile, although at
some points the advance has been
greater

EXPRESS DISAPPOINTMENT

COPENHAGEN, Oct. 26.-With few
exceptions the German press con-
demns President Wilson's latest note,
saying it is an alteration of his former
standpoint and betrays lack of COM
prehension of recent events in Ger
many as well as misconception of what
has happened there. 1t is also said
the note represents a concession to
the demands of the allied nations.
Theodor Wolff, writing in the Tage-
blatt of Berlin expresses great disap-
pointment. He says 1t has always
been a principle of international af-
fairs not to interfere with the internal
problems of other nations. President
Wilson recognized this, he continues.
in his Mexican speech in June, 1916.
but now, Herr Wolff declares, this has
been forgotten. He adds:
THE peace which the president pro-
poses is to be peace placing Ger
many at the mercy of it's opponents.
President Wilson's policy is one Of
brutal force. It is possible he hopes
to sow dissension among the German
people. We must be prepared for
whatever may come"
