Note StratcIic MaSterpicfc.

Washington, Oct 9.-By an adroit
move, President Wilson has laid a.
trap for the German governm entail
heads if the peace proposal made by
Chancellor Maximlian was in the
least insincere. This was the view of
officials today as they studied the
communication addressed by Presi-
dent Wilson yestrday to the German
chancellor.
Confronted by the strategy of Ger
man diplomacy. the president in the
view of officials has countered with
superior strategy. And yet he has left
open the way to peace.
The president, by calling upon
Prince MaXimilian for information as
to whether he represents the German
military masters conducting the war
or the whole German people, has COM
PEELED the new chancellor and those
associated with him to render to the
world an explanation of their real po-
sition. Through the communication
sent yesterday, the last hope of the
German militarists to point to the AL
lies as Waging war of determination is
considered as having been removed.
, At the same time the president has
notified the German government that
it's proposed "suspension of hostilities"
cannot be granted while a German
soldier remains on Allied soil. The
German government must state to the
world whether it will accept the four
teen terms previously laid down by
President Wilson wholeheartedly or
as "a basis for negotiations" which
position cannot be considered by the
United States and the Entente Allies
The step taken by President Wilson
has met with the approval of the
American people. Newspaper editor
ial comment almost universally COM
mended the move. Congressional lead
ers after carefully studying the COM
munication sent by the president,
praised it as brilliant diplomatic
stroke.
Distinct approval was expected
| from the Allied nations.
With the German peace offe asive e
met and halted unless the enemy
actually is ready to sue for peace on
American and Allied terms, President
Wilson today turned his attention to
| the battlefields where the once con-
uuering Teutonic armies are being
| driven back to their own soil He
| walked over to Secretary lansing 8
| office of the state department and

peared with a huge military map of

THOUSANDS OF PRISONERS TAKEN ALL ALONG LIN

RAIN OF STEEL AND EXPLOSIVES:
CONFUSION SEEN IN ENEMY RANKS

With the Anglo-American Armies
Near st. Quentin, Oct. 8, (By the
Associated ress)-Heavy fighting
continued throughout the night on
the Cambrai-St. Quentin front and
the British and Americans continued
their progress of Tuesday under a
heavy protective fire from the British
artillery.
The defeated enemy was almost
smothered under the great deluge Of
steel and explosives.
A large number of guns have been
captured by the British and Ameri-
cans, in addition to the great patches
of prisoners which continue to arrive
at the cages. The American troops
alone captured two complete field
batteries and a battery of heavy ar
tillery.
The Americans captured these
guns Tuesday afternoon when they
suddenly outfianked both ends of the
valley south of Fremont, capturing
all the German guns there.
German reinforcements have ar
rived but as these troops have been
engaged several times recently their
presence merely adds to the confu-
sion in the enemy ranks.

tht British had complete control of
the air. Roads, barra cks, massed
troops and batteries behind the Ger
man lines all were targets for the
busy British bombing airplanes.
In aerial fights a considerable num-
Der of the enemy were brought down.
There is great confusion within the
enemy lines. On the front of the two
British armies engaged 80 enemy
divisions have been identified along
the 20 mile fighting line. Some of
these divisions nave been engaged al
most continuously since August 8 and
many arc mere shadows Of the old
organizations.
The ground over which the great
battle has been fought is covered with
dead men and horses and many Ger
mans are buried under tons of earth
in collapsed dugouts. Few of the
prisoners captured had heard of the
Austro- German plea for an armistice.

ENEMY HAS NEW BOMB.
Projectile OF Light Weight Used For
InCendiarY PURPOSES.

Paris, oct. 9.--The Germans during
recent aerial operations have been
using a new type of int1ammable
bomb combining great effectiveness
with light weight, A single airplane
it is said, can carry 200 of these
bombs.
The only way of fighting the fire
caused by this new form Of destruc-
