ed, it appeared that the gateway to
Mons and Maubeuge between the
two forests soon would be forced.
The French, it was also noted,
were making more rapid progress in
clearing the enemy out of the Disc
Serre salient. Possibly the thickly
placed German reserves in this sec
tor have been withdrawn to meet
the British menace.
Viewed from a larger perspective
IT appeared possible to some officers
that these two operations might now
be compelling such a concentration
OF enemy reserves in the center
OF the long line from the Mouse to
the sea that the time was almost at
hand when a new blow could be
struck eifectively farther east. The
tranco-American armies east and
west of the Mouse have been stead

pointed out, and there is a ctrong
feeling that new blow of greater
extent than any struck for some
weeks is certain to fall upon the
enemy forces somewhere on this
part of the line before winter sets

regret exceedingly that it has been
made public | don't see where it
compromises Mr.. Sr"ague or my
self.
II have always been identified
with the democratic party and Mr..
Sprague sent me up to Valley
county and other counties TO line
up the Nonpartisan league members
for the democratic ticket and espe-
cially in the interests of Governor
Neville. The $50 check referred to
in the letter, and which l received
and cashed was for expenses for
this work.
Il was up there some little time
and worked among league members
for the democratic ticket and follow
ed the instructions Mr.. Sprague gave
me. Mr.. -Sprague in our con-
versation refused to send me up
there unless I would try to line up
the Nonpartisan league members.
and that was my special work.
Il am no longer doing this work
as Mr. Sprague a little while ago
called me back to Lincoln and told
me that he had decided that it was
too early to do that kind of work
as it might be found out and injure
Governor Neville"
The reporter asked Mr.. Evans
who signed the check and he said
that it was signed by A. V. Johnson,
treasurer of the democratic state

charged to breach freely for discus

any line OF action is deemed neces-
sary each representative will notify
his own government of the general
sense of the council and it will be
for the home governments to give
the necessary instructions tor any
change in policy.
Admiral Benson's status differs
from that of Colonel House in that
he presents himself at Versailles in
his capacity as the ranking officer
of the American navy and probably
will be welcomed as an expert and
authority by the technical members
of the council No one knows the
extent of the powers with which he
has been clothed by the president or
Secretary Daniels. but it is assumed
he can give any orders necessary to
carry out the naval phases OF any
arnistice that is agreed upon, so tar
as i. may be necessary to affect the
American naval forces in European
waters.

Wilson's latest response to the Ger

1t is in the territory between the

affection in the dual monarchy have
been persistent for months and 1t
is regarded as quite within the range
of possibility that the war WEAKNESS

change Telegraph dispatch from
Copenhagen. Discussion of the note
was taken up in sectional meetings
of the reichstag members.
Demands Plebiscite.
Washington, Oct. 25.--Embold-
ened by the German governments
acceptance of the principles of self
determination laid down by Presi-
dent Wilson, the delegates in the
reichstag frohm non-German a.
tionalities now have begun to clam
or for independence. Sensational
sc-nes in the reichstag Wednes-
day, with the separatists asserting
themselves dehantly, were de-
scribed in dispatches received here
today, based on advices from Ber-
lin.
Representing the Poles of Prus-
STA, Deputy Stychel claimed the
right of independence, declaring the
time had come to put aside the fav-
orite German formula, Every
ground where the German stake
was struck was German ground"
President Wilson, he said. was
humanity's benefactor and was
moved by the strongest feeling of
Justice which lies in mems hearts.
This unusual language in the once
subservient reichstag was immedi-
ately followed by indications OF
Danish separatist movement Dele
gate Hansen, in the name of the
Danish population and of right and
justice, demanded the execution of
the Prague treaty which promised
the people of Schleswig a plebiscite
to permit them to decide whether
they will remain with Germany or
return to their former Danish al
legiance.
Then Delegate Ricklan, represent
ing Alsace Lorraine, created the
greatest sensation by pointing out
that acceptance by the German gov
ernment of President Wilson's IA
terms made the future sof Alsace
Lorraine an international question
He gave warning that the proposed
autonomy was now insufficient,
meaning that nothing short of in
dependence or return of the prov
inces to France would meet the
case.

Burgomaster Max One
Of Belgian Prisoners
Released by Germans

The Hague, Oct. 24.-The
Vaterland in its issue of today
says it is reported that the po-
litical prisoners held by the Ger
mans at Turnhout, Belgium,
northeast of Antwerp, including
Burgomaster Adolphe Max Of
Brussels, have been released.
Burgomaster Max was arrested
in Brussels in September, 1914,
for his "irreconcilable attitude"
according to an announcement
made by the German military gov
ernor of Belgium. In 1917 it was
said that The burgomaster was Sc
riously ill in a prison at Celle,
Prussia, and that King Alfonso
was intervening in his behalf.
With the British Army in Bel
gium, Oct. 24.-An inspection of
numerous German posters in Bel
GUM discloses that wherever the
death penalty for offenses by
civilians was executed, no sigma
ture was attached. 1t is therefore
concluded that no German CON-
mander was willing to take an in
dividual responsibility for such
orders, possibly fearing conse-
quences in the future.
