STOCKHOLM, July 9-The most

officers are gradually tending toward
the opinion that neither Paris nor the
channel is the probable objective OF
the impending German offensive, but
that il Is Abbeville.
These experts also agree that the
present pause in the German activity
is caused neither by the mysterious
Spanish sickness among the German
troops nor by the epidemic OF diarrhoea
but by extreme complicated and com
prehensive preparations which are re
quired for putting another army OF a
million men in the field.

Every soldier must be made certain
how he Is to roeeed and how TO ex-

him. II is not enough to order a'cer-
tain regiment TO attack here and there,
but every detachment must have bag
gage. food, fodder and ambulances
within easy reach and IN these colos-
sal movements the most Scrupulous
precautions must be taken to avoid
road congestion.
There must also be issued orders

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 AMSTERDAM, Oct. S-That penance for wrong done is far from the German public mind is shown by the remarks of the Rhenish papers on Chancellor MaximiIan's speech.
 Sundays Cologne Gazette enveIops itself in icy silence. The Rhenisch Westphalian Zeitung in fierce edi : torial says:
 "lt is the heaviest blow to the German people conceivable" and adds it means the total abandonment of Germanys Flemish policy and the absolute sur- render of all fruits of victory in the east. Baltic Germandom is threatened with utter ruin and the empires gates open wide to bolshevkism.
 The proposal for the creation of Al. sace- Lorraine as federal state, it re fers to as "the crowning absurdity of all the absurdities for which German policy has distinguished itself in its pacificatory efforts there in the past 40 years"
 Taunts New Government
 The paper taunts the new govern ment with completely misjudeing the position. It's action, it says, is born of vague imaginations and nervous timidity.
 "A peace such as Prince Maximilan advocates the paper continues, "would be a peace to the great glory of Eng land and establish Anglo Saxon world | dominion. As for Germany, she would be pushed into a corner among the nations of the earth" The Volks Zeitung fiercely declares that now the German people, and not the government or the chancellor, have spoken and boasts of "Germany's un. conquered hosts on land and sea-"

 The Essen AIIgemeine Zeituna con fesses of being depressed" at the fac that President Wilson has again beer approached with peace offer which it says, shows "a peculiar kind of op timism" after past experiences.
 Criticizing adversely the chancellor intentions regarding Belgium and tn eastern border states, this paper whicl is the krupp's organ, comes to the con clusion that nothing will bring peac but the enemy's recognition that the. are at the end of their strength.

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-Presdent Wilson has met Germany's peace note with move which will, at stroke develop whether her proposal sincere merely pretenson and if preension it be, fully justify for all
 time before the world the proongng of the with force to the utmost force without stint limit At the time the president has left wide open the door to peace
 Declining to propose armstice while the armies of the Central powers remain invaded so the pres dent today called the German chancellor to state an absolutely necessary preliminary to reply from the entente Allies and the United States whether Germany accepts the principles of peace repeatedly laid down. or merely proposes to accept he as the basis of nego taton and whether the chancellor merely speaks for the German military masters, conducting the war the whole German people.
 As the full significance of the presidents diplomacy Is disclosed 1t becomes evident that he has left open the way to peace and at the same time left the tarist lead of the Central powers with question they must nec- essary answer ill way that will lead to peace or con- front them with an embarrassing situation in their own countries.

RE|MS RUINED BY
 BRUTAL HUN MALICE

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY AT REIMS, Oct. S.-(By The Associated Press)-The last shells fell upon Reims on Friday, after which the Germans re- tired over the hills to save the guns that fired the parting shots, one of which hit the cathedral.
 "The crash of it." said an eye witness to this last blow of brutal force at the inanimate product of sr2r<me art, sounded like an explosion of impotent rage"
 A few more stones fell from the ragged edge of an old breach in one of the arches of the ceiling, another cloud of dust and some smoke rose out of the skeleton structure and German effort at the destruction of the ancient capital of the Remi was ended.
 There is little more the Germans could have done, for Reims today Is in utter ruins, as complete a symbol as even the Germans would wish to leave behind them of the ruthlessness of war as they have waged it. Only the build- ings in tlk outskirts remain erect, and not one of them was left untouched. Toward the center of the town noth- ing but the ragged remnants of walls remain standing while around the ca thedral and other churches, even the walls have been reduced to heaps of debris.
 The cathedral. which required more than two hundred years in the building has been reduced to ruins in four years of more or less constant bombardment. The walls are standing but daylight shows through them in many places. Great holes in the ceiling are grS~Sing larger as the unsupported masonry crumbles and falls.

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-While a continued decrease in the number of new cases of Spanish influenza at army camps was shown in reports to- day to the office of the surgeon gen. eral of the army, the spread of the malady among the civilian population over the country apparently still is far from being checked.
 Reports to the public ,health service showed that the disease was spread ing rapidly in the south and that it also was epidemic in portions of the middle west and far west, heretofore free from it. South Dakota was added to the list of new states reporting the disease in epidemic form.
 During the A hours ending today at noon, 11,750 new cases of influenza have been reported by all army camps. New cases of pneumonia also de- creased, totaling only 2,1S1 and deaths were fewer, 7S1.
 Camp Taylor, Kentucky, reported the largest number of influenza cases, 1,044. Camp Funston, Kansas. re- ported 927 cases and Camp Dodge, Iowa, 996.
 The total number of cases of in fluenza reported from all the army camps since the disease became cpl demic last month now is placed at more than 1S2,000, while pneumonia cases total 19,285 and deaths 5.671.
 The public health service has estab- lished headquarters and undertaken activities against the disease in a large number of states, including Ari- Zona, in cooperation with state and local authorities.
