Iomatic Discussions.

Washington, Oct. i9.-Beyond
press dispatches from Switzerland
saying the new German note would
be dispatched tonight, the State de-
partment had no intimation what
ever of the time or the nature of the
German response to the president.
Officials heard without comment the
report that Germany would accept
President Wilson's conditions "gen-
eraliy' with a reservation that sub
marine warfare must continue to the
end of the war.
About the State department this
was regarded as an indication that
the Berlin government, without con-
ceding the surrender that it has
been told must precede an armistice.
would seek to continue diplomatic
discussions in the hope of eventually
weakening the position of its en-
emies and winning the earnestly de-
sired negotiated peace.
1t was reiterated that only COM
plete acceptance will satisfy the
United States and the allies, and
that an effort by the Germans to
evade the issue would cause the
president promptly to refuse to con-
tinue the correspondence.

west of Rheims, Oct. ,l9-Perhaps
the most glorious page of American
military history in this war has just
been concluded in the Champagne
battle, in which two divisions of
United States troops-the Second

adequately heralded part of forcing

famous city of Rheims.
The work of the Americans was
more notable because one of the
American divisions, the Goth, entered
the terrific battle at an important

without having ever having heard
