LONDON. Oct. 13.--The sinking of tho Steamer Leinster gave a stunning blow to whatever feeling existed in England for peace of reconciliation. The affair caused more indignation than any submarine exploit since the sinking of the Lusitania. The contrast between Prince Maximilian's benevo- lent utterances and Germany's military and naval policies is the text for most of the newspapers comment. Not only the slaughter of women and children on the Leinster and the Hirano Maru, but tho Germans refusal to exchange prisoners, and the stories coming from the front of the needless devastation in Belgium, and northern France are working together to put a damper on any sentiment of leniency toward the central powers.
 lt appears plain that the German peace proposals are regarded with more disfavor here today than they were a week ago. Even some prominent papers with pacifist leanings are demanding punishment for the violations of civil ized warfare, as a necessary part of any peace terms. The words of Arthur I. Balfour. secretary of state for foreign affairs, were symptomatic of the pub lie feeling. MT. Balfour is usually most scrupulous in his observance of the traditions of diplomacy for polite phrases under all circumstances. The

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Secretary Baker after trip to the front in France and a visit to the allied capi- tals. arrived today at an Atlantic port and reached Washington tonight. John D. Ryan, director of aircraft produce ton, who went abroad with the secre- tary, also returned. Surgeon General Gorgas, another member of the party, remained in France.
 The secretary brought only the mes- sage that the Liberty loan must go over the top" whatever the result of peace proposals. His own explanation of his trip shows that it was taken to pave the way for war on a greater scale.
 "The army has done and is doing all that proud and grateful country could ask" MT. Baker said tonight, land the time has come for us to put in every ounce of our strength to assure it's com- plete victory. The people at home have aSolemn responsibility for their share in the final result
 "The Liberty loan must go over the top. Its success is both our message of gratitude to the boys who are braving wars worst perils in defense of our lib- critics, and a message to Germany that our people at home are as resolute as ouf soldiers are brave.

idly are crystalizing and the next step will be taken promptly, probably soon- CT than may be expected.
 President Wilson is expected to first decide if Foreign Secretary Solfs re- ply to the inquiries addressed to Chancellor Maximilian warrants him in presenting Germany's original pro- posaI to the entente allies. It should be borne in mind that the presidents inquiry merely was a move and interim in which he proposed nothing, bound himself to. nothing, and merely asked some questions, which he declared re- quired an answer before he could go further.
 If he puts the proposition before the entente it undoubtedly will draw a quick reply Dispatches last night from London, quoting the London Ex- press as announcing that the British, French and Italian governments had reached a unanimous decision for line of common action, were regarded as deeply significant.
 Cities as Guarantee
 Lacking official guidance on which to base a prediction, observers are forced to record indications.

 Unofficial opinion at the capitol to- night was divided into two distinct groups. One view, shared largely by republicans in congress, is that Sen ator Lodges prediction of situation which may threaten the substitution of the deliberations of diplomacy for victories at arms, has been fulfilled. The other, confident in the success of President Wilson's diplomacy and forming it's conclusions from a close Knowledge of what the government is | planning. is very certain that the presi- dent has created situation where he can deliver another stroke which. will bring on unconditional surrender or throw the kaiser and the German mili- tarists completely out of any power | they may retain.
 Wilson Can Force Surrender
 There is a general feeling that the next move will confront the military party with the choice of such an un- conditional surrender as will be ac- ceptable to all the allied co-belliger- ents or a genuine political revolution in Germany, which will bring about such a surrender.
 It has been pointed out that Presi- dent Wilson's inquiry was skilfully framed to pave the way for an oppor- tunity to inform the German people directly that no covenants of peace car

 LONDON, Oct. 13.-The British Douai, Field Marshal Haig re- ported today in his official state ment. They have captured the Foubourg d'Esqurshin, the Douai prison and the greater part of F1ers, close to Douai on the north west.
 The edge of Lieu Stamand, three miles south of Domain has been reached by the British in their push up the easterly bank of the Scheldt canal, southeast of Douai. They have captured in this sector the town of Montrecourt, a scant seven miles from the outskirts of Valenciennes, and almost directly south of that city.
 Further progress has been made by the British northwest of Douai and along the Selles river to the region of Solesmes, according to Field Marshal Haig's communica- ton issued tonight. Several addi- tional towns have been-captured and prisoners have been taken.
 The communication follows:
 During the day local engage ments between our and the enemy's advanced detachments have con- tinued along the line of the Selle river. Our bridgehead positions in the neighborhood of Solesmes have been enlarged and progress has been made on the west bank of the river above Haussy and Saulzoir.
 There has been local fighting in the neighborhood of Lieu-St. Amand. We captured number of prisoners
 Early this morning our ad- vanced troops crossed the Sensee canal at Aubigny-au-Bac and cap- tured nearly 200 prisoners and maintained their positions in the face of strong counter attacks.
 Northwest of Douai we have continued to advance. We hold .Courcelles-Le and Novelties Godault and are approaching the line of the Haute-Deule canal on the whole of the front between Douai and Vendin-Le-V -Vieril. A number of prisoners were captured in our operations on this sector"

LONDON, Oct. 13.-One of the most significant points in Germany's reply to President Wilson is that it is the first important German diplomatic communication since the German em- pire was proclaimed at Versailles in 1871, which has not spoken in the name of the imperial German government.
 "The German government" is an ab- solutely new phrase. and the omission of the word imperial is unprece- dented.

PARIS, Oct. 13.-The German stronghold of La Fere, together with great part of the St. Co., bain massif, of which La Fere was a northerly outpost at the Disc, has been captured by the French, to- days official war office statement announces.
 The La Fere-Laon railway line has been crossed on the high ground between Danizy and Yer signy, about 2H east of La Fere. The northern and eastern sections of La Fere are burning.
 Notable progress has been made by the Italians and French along the line to the east, where the French have reached Amifontaine, which is 15 miles north of Reims.
 The text of the statement reads:
 La Fere has been captured by the French. Thev have crossed the La Fere-Laon railway at the Dan- izy-V ersigny height. The northern and eastern portions of the village of La Fere are burning.

Britain Demands Surrender. Republican A, p. Ieased Wjre1

LONDON, Oct. 13.-The text of ths, German reply to President Wilson's note reached the British foreign office today from the British minister at The Hague. Foreign Secretary Balfour and Andrew Bonar Law, the chancellor of the exchequer, immediately left with it to confer with Premier Lloyd George. who is spending the week end in the country. It is unlikely that any re- sponsible British minister will make any detailed declaration on the situa. tion.
 The next step seems to be for the president to consult with the allies for a general consideration of the German answer.
 Unconditional surrender" is rapidly gaining popularity with the average citizen as response to the German document and many would not be satis- fled with anything less. This feeling is accentuated by the German attempt to destroy Cambrai and the raging of vii.
