IS letting Prussia's time slip by for

sooner or later.
Marshal Foch in the preface to

Using Same Principle.
The allied commander in chief
is now applying that princi-

forms a vast salient from the Es-

Foch is attacking it not alone on
one flank but on both alternately.

EXPECTED TO MEET
WILSON'S DEMANDS

The veil now is being lifted and il
is clearly proved President Wilson
is no war maniac but an idealist
whose aim is to establish a world
peace founded on a league of ma
tons"
Food Gamblers Worried.
Stray facts showing the way the
wind is blowing in Germany are
the following:
THE Weser Zeitung Of Bremen
reports feverish excitement among
clandestine food trafTickers and
spectators of all kinds, whose di-
lemma is whether to hold on to
their stocks or sell. The newspa-
pers say it has received advertise
ments Offering various delicacies
which have long disappeared from
the market. The Rhenish papers
feature a sensational drop in re
Gently inflated wine prices,
amounting in some instances to
over so per cent. Many firms are
reported to have lost hundreds OF
thousands of marks.
Wants Colonies Evacuated.
Paris, Oct. -Semi-official sum
maries from comments in the Ger
man press, issued tonight, indicate
that Germany, in answer to the de
mand for an evacuation of occupied
territory, will ask as an offset the
evacuation of German colonies and
occupied Turkish territory. Ac-
cording to some newspaper com
ments published in Germany,
Prince Macmillan will have no diff
ficulty in announcing the adoption
without restriction of President
Wilson's program.
Tries To Be Democracy.
Germany is apparently hurryins,
IL view of the latest ministerial
moves, to appear to be a demo-
cratic state. Political amnesty
will be announced and a new gov
ernor will be appointed for Alsace-
Lorraine. Martial law will be mod
fled and a liberal minister of war
viii be named. The whole move
ment is expected to result in the
establishment of a responsible
ministry, which is now said to be
only d veneer.
The rumoT persists that these
ministerial and governmental re
adjustments have been undertaken
Wit hthe view to causing the allies
to regard Germany as democratic
and to welcome her reply.
