CONTEST ADVANCE OF AMERICANS IN
 BITTEREST MANNER

France, Oct. 23.-(Correspondence of Associated Press) Nothing attests more completely the bitterness with which the Germans have opposed the American advance everywhere in France than the utter completeness with which the Terrain over which the two have fought,( have been de- stroyed, desolated, churned by shells, mutilated beyond any immediate hope of restoration.
 This was true, even in portions Of the St. Mihiel salient, for, notwith- standing that the Germans fairly ran across to the famous Hindenburg
 With the American Troops in line, thed did hold along the western edge of the sector and by the time the Americans had been able to take it, great mines, had torn the roads and fields asunder, the roads had been wrecked almost beyond repair, by in- tentional enemy agencies, as we'll as by American artillery. What was left of the buildings and dugouts once in habited by the Germans, had been blown and smashed and crushed to a tangled mass of wreckage.
 It is in the center of the line be- tween the Mouse river, and the Ar gonne forest, however, where the bit ter fighting has been bitterest, that the destruction is most complete. where

GOVERNMENT MAY
 TAKE OVER NEWS s> PRINT PAPER SOON

Washington, Nov. 1.--Government control of the news print paper in- dustry by which paper will be distri- b1ted to all nespapers in the country to protect the smaller nespapers, is being considered by Chairman Baruch of the War Industries Board. Decem- Der is the date the control would be- come effective under the present plan.
 A tentative plan has been worked out by the pulp and paper section of the Board of Chairman Baruch's ap- proval.
 Operation of paper mills by the government is not contemplated. but the entire news print output of the country would be allocated, according to each newspapers requirements, thus assuring a supply to be made smaller papers now said to have diff culty in obtaining news print from the mills.
 It is considered probable that the new plan, if accepted, will supersede the present restriction of the use of news print which reduced the news print which reduced the news space in daily nespapers fifteen per cent and Sunday editions twenty per cet.
 MT. Baruch itimated he would be in favor of allotting each newspaper so much paper to be used in any way the publisher desired.

The Italian soldiers in Austrian territory will long be remembered for their bravery and gallantry in action but their absolute indifference to se- curing peace at time when the ene- my had cried quits, and begged for mercy will go down as one of the most remarkable events of the entire war.
 The Italian soldiers were in no mood to accept knock out by throw ing up the sponge. They desired that their opponent be given clean knock out, caused by clean cut hit on the jaw and a straight upper cut to the chin.
 The barley of the seconds in the fight may accomplish a ceasing of hostilities but the Austrians will in all future time have wholesome res pect and regard of the "sons of Sun ny Italy,"

--W. s. S.-- BREAD CAST ON WATERS" :"

The record of the Huns in this worlds war has been brought home to them in no uncertain manner. Now in seeking an armistice and peace terms the country must now face the condi-- tions to be imposed for their cruelty and barbarisms practiced for the past four and half years.
 Had the German armies fought ac- cording to rules of warfare and had shown at least some semblance of humanity, even to captured prisoners, there would be at least a chance of the BREAD CAST UPON THE WA TIERS, RETURNING"
 That the german soldiers and ger man people have been responsible for this era of crime and murder is not doubted by any intelligent person.
 The great sweep of the Allies into Belgium and across Northern France has revealed evidence, undisputable of the germans inhumanity. This evi- dence makes ones blood boil at the thought of the way in which the Al lied soldiers, made prisoners were treated.
 In the drafting of armistice terms this matter will be given more than passing thought or mention.

METZ IS PIVOT HUN'S RETREAT 
 FROM FRANCE
 
Indications of Last Few Days on Verdun Sectors
 Points to Withdrawal.

With the American Army North west of Verdun,s Nov. (By The Associated Press. )-There have been many indications in the last few days that the Germans intend to retire as slowly and strategically as possible, from their present position, especial ly west of the Mouse, and possibly withdraw entirely from non-G German soil. The vicinity of Metz still contin- ues to be the pivote of this retiring movement, because of it's strategic importance.
 Much exidence of this intention on the part of the enemy is especially recognizable on the front of the American second army. in the Woevre. Deserters from the German lines, and prisoners corrorabate this informa- tion and say that German command is salving every bit of war material in the region and transporting light and heavy guns into German territory east of Metz.
 Even reports of artillery having been sent from the front, east of St. Quentinfi to the Metz and Vosges re- gions, have been received and it is be- lieved the Germans have been teraing up narrow-guag railways on some sectors.
 Meanwhile the Germans are organ izing strong defense positions on the front of the second army. They made preparations for meeting attacks of all kinds and special measures have been taken against possible tank attack The artillery has been sche- duled at great depth and corps and divisional headquarters are being moved to the rear.
 The theory is that the Germans in- tend to hold stubbornly to this sector, while swinging backward on the north pivoting on Metz. The Germans show great nervousness, on the American front.

NO sMADE IN GERMANY. PEACE

The Serpent of Civilize1ion is hiss ing at word which .t,s the greatest privilege of Archangels to articulate. But then it's been rather a bloody round for the German Staff and someone's pulled "as short bell" as thex say in the ring, so "good Mich ael's can come back stronger for the next.
 He's an obliging cuss; ask the kali ser. Neitzsche let the cat out of the bag when he recommended, "Ye shall love peace as a means to new, wars" !" and when mouthed. by these unholy Wilhemstrasse diplomats, the word peace has only tactical significance, calculated to make our victorious line waver. And this latest "scrap of pa- per" stunt has ''non-binding" jok- CT in it about as subtle as ton of bricks.
 Confusion is not to be thrown into the ranks of our allies through over- lures which have nothing to do with "the small still voice. though they are more than the ingenious poison gas against which chemistry now can cope. Peace, as we of the older faiths understand it, leads to fields of con- temptation, or more tritery put, to s'the' inner world of consciousness" !" and concerns itesf but while with e'hand grenades" and indemnities," {" Plato explores the structure of the souls peace and in his Dialogues. maps out g |, Europe for it's future playground,
