Galveston Lassies Forced To

written for the United Press.(
With The American Troops At The
Front, Sept. 17.--(ByMail.) - A few
nights ago we had another taste Of war.
We had been lulled into false sense of
security by an unusually quiet week,
very little artillery, no barrage at all,
and very little air fighting.
In fact, the pans in our kitchen had
not been ratified for days, and We were
ready to forget we were at the fornt.
except for soldiers and the necessity for
keeping out of observation of German
lookout posts on the hills opposite US.
All Of sudden at midnight the big
guns Of the boches let loose in box
barrage about q mile and half from
US at the nearest hill At the same
they shelled all the villages in circle
about US.
We hurried into our clothes and went
down TO the barbed wire entsnglements
in neighboring field There we were
comparatively safe, as long as We lay
close to the ground that eelat could
not reach us if shells came nearer. We
could also get a fine view Of the fire
works.

Washington, Oct. 10.--An allied drive
on Turkey is expected shortly unless the
internal unrest there breaks into open
revolt, according to diplomatic opinion
here.
Greece is preparing to march on the
Ottoman empire when the allied com,
mander gives her word, ii was stated.
Over 100000 Greek troops are in arms
now and 100000 more are awaiting
equipment, it is stated.
Greek Minister Roussos today gave
assurance that his country would con-
tinue its fight against the remnants Of
the central powers in the Near East.
"We are in the war to the end, he
declared. THE fact that Bulgaria has
surrendered will not cause Greece to
cease fighting. She will send her troops
wherever they are required by the allied
commander in chief.
Turkey may collapse before military
expedition can Get under way, but dip
lomatie officials here expect Enver Pa
sha and the young Turks to resist eff
forts of revolving factions to make
peace with the allies.
A delegation Of revolutionaries from
Smyrna and GIecian islands under Tur-
kish rule is reported to be in Athens
arranging for liberation Of their coun-
trymen.
1t became known here today that
Bulgaria had asked Greece to make
peace months ago. The offer was NOT
given even serious consideration.
The allies are holding out for the
same terms as those enforced upon Bull
garia. Meanwhile, the government Of
Smyrna has sent delegates to Athens,
who are trying to induce the allies to
give them separate recognition. They
claim this is one Of President Wilson's
principles Of self-determination. The
new Turkish government, formed after
several days Of rioting and anti-Ger-
man demonstrations, already has been at
work secretly and was prepared to be-
gin negotiations through certain neu-
trails as soon as the Enver regime was
overthrow.

WILSON'S PEN And
FOCH'S SWORD WORK
IN COMPLETE UNS|DN
President S Reply And Fall Of
Cambria Celebrated AT
Same Time In Paris.
BY william Philip simms

(UnIted Press starr c0rreSp0nuent)
Paris, Oct. 10.-The swords of Gen
erals Byng, Rawlinson and Lewis are
today reinforcing President Wilson $
pen in making answer to Germany 5
peace suggestions
Wilson'S reply and the fall Of Cam
brai the news of both being received
at about the same time, created great
excitement. All the people were Of the
same opinion. Everybody said: "That $
the stuff to give EN-"
The Intransigeant headed its edit
orial: "The reply Of sage. "
"The fall Of Cambria illustrates and
corroborates the American reply" de-
clared LaLiberte.
The Temps observed that Wilson
gave Germany the answer which was
anticipated, named "first get out OF
the invaded territory" This the Ger
mans already are doing and allies are
escorting them. 1t Is now generally
recognized that pause in the ham
mering Of the weakening German ranks
would merely serve TO save Luden'
dorff 8 armies, which are certainly
doomed.
Military men privately express dis
pleasure at tho idea of granting the
German chance to eyacuate occupied
territory and haul his armies ont with
out damage. As the west front sitna'
ton Is now developing, they say the
German is destined to suffer heavily
in his retreat.
This fact is evidenced by official
reports showing that the British bag
ged 10000 prisoners Tuesday.
The present retreat is viewed as the
direct result of the incessan. hammer
ing all along the western line. Foch
has kept the Hun in doubt as to his
next move and has made the shifting
Of reserves difficult task. Now he
has shnken the hold Of the boehe on
every important key Of the western
line and a severe punishment is in store
for the fleeing Germans.

POPE WILL APPEAL
FOR ACCEP TANCE
OF WILSON'S Terms
Action VIII Be Taken To Bring
About Peace On All
Souls Day Nov. 2.
BY Robert J. Bender.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.)
Washington, Oct. l0.--That Pope
Benedict will appeal to the world to
accept President Wilson'S fourteen
peace principles was indicated in re.
ports tc thic government today. These
stated that the pope has selected Nov
embes 2-All Souls Day--for his move.
In this connection, it is significant
that the Holy See knew as early as
October 3, that Austria would appeal to
Wilson for peace, accepting his four
teen points. Dispatches further disclose
that Austria s plight is serious and thar
whatever Germany answers to the pres.
ident's test Of her peace sincerity, Aus
tria and Turkey cannot long survive the
growing demands in their countries for
an end of the struggle.
This probably accounts for President
Wilson s decision to leave Austria IN
doubt for the moment. Later he will re-
ply to her peace offer, submitted sim
ultaneously with that of Germany, and
probably will answer it at more length.

are expected to make feverish efforts
toward democratization. The president
still holds that the allied nations can
not deal with the Hohenzolferns-un
less electoral reforms are inaugurated
to make them the voted spokcsmen Of
the German people.
Already Bulgaria has been crushed
Turkey is totering and Austria cannot
hold out much longer. Eventually Ger
many must be isolated in both fields of
diplomacy and battle.
Hence, peace with Germany is not so
near as it appears. IT. long road to
the end the president seeks. But it can
be hastened, officials declare, by speed
ing up all war work.
1t may be stated on the highest au-
thority that there will be no extended
note writing between the president and
Germany. Germany must answer his re.
cent inquiry frankly and to the point
or discussion will stop. On this point
the American people may rest absolute
ly assured, it is stated.

GERMANS ON VERGE
OF COMPLETE ROUT
IN CAMBRIA REGION
Allied Forces Are Now Com
pletely Through Organiz-
ed Line Of Defense.
By Lowell Mellett

Omitted Press staff correspondent
With the British Armies in France,
Oct. l0.-The Germans in the st. Quen-
tin-Cambrai region, staggering under
the impact of the combined British,
French and American blow, appear to
be on the verge Of an utter rout.
The allies have burst through the
last Of the organized German defenses
along front Of score of miles and
have poured into the open country be-
yond.
The Germans are reported in wild
retreat to the eastward, abandoning
everything that would retard their
flight. Allied cavalry is cutting and
slashing at the enemy's heels, while
our infantry is marching in the wake
of the horsemen in column formation.
Additional advances of more than
six miles at some points along the fifty
mile fighting front are reported since
yesterday s renewed attack began. Bo-
hahn, Busigny, Clary, FOnsomme, Caur-
ior, Barnieres, Fontaine Notre Dame,
Dame, Marcy and Mezieres-Sur. Disc
are reported to have fallen.
The British and Americans are re-
ported to be on the outskirts of Le-
Cateau and approaching Solesmes. To
the southwark the French are bearing
down on Ribemont.
A tremendous explosion is reported
to have wrecked the center of Cambria
Already swept by fire, fifteen or TWEEN
ty blocks in the heart of the city are
completely in ruins. -
The allied progress has been extend
ed northward to the Scarpe and our
detachments are reported to have en-
tered Vitry-En- Artois and Arleux and
to be headed for the greater center Of
DOuai
Germans Show no Fight
Inspired by their government S re-
quest for an armistice, of which they
knew only such as was contained in
the kaiser s order of the day, some
German divisions between Cambria and
st. Quentin made one of the feeblest
fights seen since the Somme became a
battle field.
"They didn t fight like they did a
week ago." said a South Carolina boy
who participated in both battles.
''If the kaiser doesn t want to fight
why should we7" asked German pri-
vate who became willing prisoner.
While the fighting was resumed in
full force at dawn yesterday morning
and some advances had been recorded
north of Cambria, even before that
hour, the break was not noticeable un-
til midi day. Then some tanks and whip
pets were sent as scouts across OBJ
jectives varying from four to six thou
sand yards beyond the starting point
