WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY NORTHWEST OF vERDUN, Oct 24 CBy the Associated Press).-In a local attack east of the Mouse the Ameri' cans today advanced about one kilo- meter on a three kilometer front and the Bois Buitruy. the Bois De Houp- py and the Bois De Belleu are within the American lines as also is part oi the Bois De Wavrille and Plyon De Traye.
 The advance was made after brief artillery preparation. The enemy's re- sponse was principally with machine guns, but during the fighting he she'll ed the back areas and threw few six inchers into Verdun.
 The artillery on both sides was act i've over the entire American fgront today. The Germans were unusually nervous, owing to the activity of the Americans on both sides of the Mouse.
 Early this morning the American artillery laid down a barrage north of Bantheville. where the infantry oc cupied Grand Carre farm and the ridge north of Banthville, straddling the Freya line.
 Twenty-seven prisoners were taken when the Americans occupied hill 271. and east of the Mouse fourteen Germans surrendered and a number of others were captured in the woods Twelve prisoners were taken in the Grand Carre fam and g southeast of Aincreville.

WILSON NOTE WELCOMED BY
 OUR ALLIES
Comment of People and Press Abroad Supports Belief that Question of Peace Now Has Been Put Squarely
cRv Review Leased vlrel

LONDON. Oct. 24.-The popular comment of the presidents note here is that it contains the strongest language ever addressed by the head of one great nation to another iD mod efn times. The note is welcomed. first. because it brings matters to a new state; further proceedings, il there are to be further proceedings will be in the hands of all the gov ernments interested. Hitherto, so far as the public knows. the nations as sociated with the United States and which have more at stake perhaps than has the United States, have been onlookers to the correspondence.
 The note is welcomed, secondly, be- cause it promises to bring the season of discussion to an end altogether, one way or the other. No one sees how the German chancellor. Prince Max, can fail either to accept President Will sons platform or reject it. Accept ance will be taken to mean that the Germans regard their position as hopeless and that disaster is immi- nent.
 The general opinion is that Ger many's military position is not so bad but that the leaders will fight on. if only with the hope of creating divi- sions among the allies. which has been Germany's reliance of late.
 Watch Germany's allies if she Ge- cides to go on with the war" is the suggestion among diplomats here.
 Austria shows no intention of re- maining the tail to the German kite. The Austrian premier said yesterday that the separate correspondence be- gun with President Wilson could be continued Germany's course, there fore, need have mo effect upon Au- stria's and it will be no surprise to Britain if Austria and Turkey both blow their own peace furrows if Ger many persists in the war.
 One report current today was that the associated nations would imme- diately form a joint diplomatic staff and that Colonel House would repre- sent the United States. A majority of the newspapers have urged the gov ernment to announce its peace terms in common with the other allied pow CTS, and considers such an announce ment overdue.

GAINING EVERYWHERE
GERMANS. CONTINUE TO USE MA CHINE GUNS TO RETARD THEIR FOES BUT WITHOUT APPARENT SUCCESS; TANKS ENTER HUN WORKS DEEPER

UNDATED WAR LEAD. (By the Associated Press.) On several of the most important sectors in France from the region of Valenciennes to the east of Le Cateau; north of Laon be tween the Disc and the Serre rivers and on the front from the Mouse river to the vicinity of Grand Pre-battles of a sanguinary character are being fought In these the British, French and American troops everywhere are making progress against the stubborn ly resisting Germans.
 In Belgium the allied forces, owing to the rapid retreat of the enemy and the flooded condition of the low lands, have not yet been able to come into full fighting contact with the Germans but doubtless a few days more will see them again hard after their quarry and driving him farther toward his own frontier.
 South of Valenciennes the British third and fourth armies with which Americans are cooperating, have con- tinued successfully to press onward with Mons and Maubeuge their objec- tives. Valenciennes is gradually be- ing enYeloped, and soon is destined to be pinched out of the fighting line by turning movements from north and south in the manner generally adopt ed in the present day tactics when it is more desirable to envelop a strong position than to waste life and limb in reaching the objective of frontal at tack
 The Germans in this region continue to use numerous machine guns to re- tard the advance of Field Marshal Haig's men. and the artillery of both sides is violently active. British avia- tors are materially aiding the often sive by dropping bombs behind the line or flying low and cutting troop formations to pieces with machine gun fire.
 South of the Disc river the French are making sharp thrusts against the enemy with the intention of clearing out the entire triangle between Flay- igny and Montcornet and taking all the railroad lines within this region and also plotting out the salient that still exists there. The Germans are strongly counter attacking on all the fronts of attack, but the French have warded off their efforts to regain lost territory and have gained ground south of Montcornet, one of the prin- cipal railway functions in this region

WHAT FRENCH WANTED

PARIS. Oct 24-The official com ment to the Associated Press on Presi- dent Wilson's reply to Germany can be summarized as follows:
 President Wilson's latest answer resolves the whole thing into a mili- tary question which can be decided by Foch. Haig and Pershing.
 "The situation. however, is virtual ly unchanged. though the exchange of notes has given an insight into affairs in Germany and has perhaps hastened her internal reforms. The next answer will have to be a military answer from her military authorities.
 "The French people feel that the question of the internal government of Germany is not so important as an as- surance against a recurrence of Ger manv's militaristic policies, which precinitated the war.
 We do now know how sincere Ger many is about her reforms We have reason to doubt the sincerity of her reforms We have reason to doubt the sincerity of her aims in this direc-

ANOTHER BRITISH COMMENT

LONDON, Oct. A, British Wireless Service. )-The Westminster Gazette says:
 Whether the German government accepts this proposition for an armis- tice will depend on it's estimate of its military and internal situation and upon nothing else. All democratic nations will be grateful to the presi- dent for having forcibly projected the issue between free peoples and mili- tary despotism into the foreground at this stage of the war. But let it be said again that the choicse rests with the German people. It is for them and not for us to say how they shall be ruled. All that We can say is that ac- cording to as they choose so we must act And that is the presidents last word We can negotiate with a free people, but we must demand surrender from a military autocracy.

Little Hope for Lifting of the Quarantine Here or Else where in State for Consider able Period

It would be a hopeful person who, in view of the statement of Dr. c. H.

First in in- terest comes the statement that local physicians are treating approximately 200 new cases Of influenza daily. while it is a matter of gensFal knowledge that there are many cases in which a doctor is not called. sO-called home remedies" being depended upon.
 There were ten deaths in the War ren district between noon Wednesday and late yesterday afternoon. There have been a total of 21 deaths in the district since the epidemic started. Dr Hunts records show.
 The number of cases treated py local physicians since the inception of the epidemic is something more than 2.OOO.
 The total number of eases in Co., chise county during the epidemic has been between $500 and 3,7O0
 There has been a total of 37 deaths in the whole county. 21 here. s in Douglas. at the Exposed Reef mine and 1 in Pearce.
 Considering statistics from other parts of the country. the pneumonia rate and the death rate both have been quite light, Dr. Hunt says.
 Other parts of Arizona are suffer ing with equal. if not greater. sever ity and there is little hope of raising of quarantine restrictions for a con siderable period. News received here yesterday was to the effect that the Jerome. Clarksdale. Prescott section of the state was under close quaran- tine. no one being allowed to enter or leave, at present.

HUN OFFICIALS CONCEAL THEIR
 SUITABILITY
When Orders Exacting Severe Penalties From Belgians Were Published, Never Were Signed

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN BELGIUM, Oct. 24.-(By the Asso- ciated Press) - An inspection of numerous German posters in Belgium discloses that wherever the death penalty for offenses by civilians was exacted no signatures was attached. It is. therefore, concluded that no German commander was willing to take an individual responsibility for such orders, possibly fearing conse. quences in the future.
 This was especially the case in Bruges. In addition to the visible evi. dence it was testified to by M. E. Chevin, one of the aldermen who at. tended the execution of Capt. Fryatt, the master of the British steamer Brusselst as the representative of the city An hour after his execution an order that he. be not shot arrived from Germany. The alderman said that between 15.0OO and 10000 marks

South of the new British wedge the French are keeping continuous pres sure against the enemy along the Disc
 Serre front, making it difficult tor the German commanders to disengage their forces from this most exposed sector of their lines. Success Of the British effort, however, which now seems assured, would compel a pre- cipitate evacuation of the Oise-Serre salient, 1t is believed, for the com municatiOn system of that front would be threatened from the flank anG rear.
 Reduction cf the Oise-Serre salient would mean rectification of the lines probably as far east as the ArgOnIe, observers believe, and coupled with the FrancO-American pounding there and on the Mouse, the British aG- vances of today and yesterday possi- ply foreshadows the retreat of the enc my to the Mouse line. If that retire ment is delayed much longer, it was said, there Is strong probabilities that the British working eastward from Valenciennes will gather in prison CTS, guns and stores in large num- bers later on.
 In view Of the existing military sit uation, officers pointed out that ev- cry day was seeing the allied taeti- cal superiority increased even as their superiority in man and gun power is increasing. Since President Wilson has already pointed out to the German authorities that the safeguarding and guaranteeing of that superiority must be the basis of any armistice agree ment. a proposition the German lead CTS accepted with the statemen: that standard of military power in the field" must of necessity govern such terms, it is clear that the conditions of the armistice to be formulated grew hard on the enemy each day. The advantages in position de rived from the latest British thrust, officers said, certainly will not be ov- erlooked in estimating the situation of the opposing forces.
 More than ever officers are con, vinced that new operations on large scale are impending on the front and that General Pershing's two aggres- siVe young armies soon will try their mettle again. There are many minor happenings that seem to indicate to these observers that a smashing blow is in preparation although the extent or object of it is only matter of spec 
 Added to the purely military con that would seem to urge some such renewed effort before win ter comes, there is now the incentive presented by the fact that armistice terms may soon be formulated. The of the German authorities to accept those terms will be greatly in. creased, it is pointed out, if their line is further broken and the evacuation upon which they are engaged render ed increasingly difficult and full of peril.
