 UNDATED AR LEAD BY THE AS SOCIATED PRESS.-Although emis- saries of Germany in search of an armistice are reported to have started for France, there is as yet no official indication that they have reached the headquarters of Marshal Foch, the man in whose hands lies the absolute power of granting or denying to the fast remaining combatant of the en tente allies the cessation of hostilities it now so urgently requests.
 Meanwhile the great battle which has as its purpose the driving of the Germans from French and Belgian soil continues from the Mouse river to Belgium. Everywhere the Ger mans are giving ground, and rapidly the vast sack is being cleared of enemy forces.
 Sedan, famous as a fortress in the Franco-Prussian war and the back bone of the German line of retreat from the southern portion of the bat tie front, is partly in the hands of the American troops and with it's fall will vanish all the dreams of the Ger mans of being able to fall behind the line or the river Mouse and hold a footing on French soil west of the Luxenmburg border. Also by the cap ture of Sedan the lateral lines of com munication with the great German fortress of Metz are cut or dominated by the guns of the Americans and thus rendered unavailable for enemy use.
 From the west of the American sec tor to the east of St. Quentin the French have again driven forward, lib erating many additional towns, vii lages and hamlets. At some points since Wednesday they have penetrat ed to a depth of ten miles notwith standing the heavy ground, due to rain and mud and at last accounts were still pressing onward and meeting with moderate resistance by machine gun rear guards. From the region Oi Origny the French guns are now dominating the important railway junction of Hirson, which the enemy must use in a retreat from the dis trict east of St. Quentin toward hi: frontier.

OVER ROUGH GROUND

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE SEDAN FRONT, Nov. 2, 2 p. n. The Americans Thursday, east of the Mouse, fought over some of the toughest country in France, taking the heights south of the Woever for est and advancing more than four kilometers, notwithstanding desperate rear guard activity of the German machine gunners.
 Hill $50, the great hog-back be tween Laon and Marvaux was taken in the morning by the Americans. The Americans pushed through the series of woods and over the rolling coun' try, reaching the regions of Bande' vile, Brehevxille and Lissey.
 The German machine gunners fought as if they never had heard oi peace talk, holding to their nests in many cases until they were killed or blasted out by the American ar tillery. In rear guard actions, ma chine gunners fell back into series of fox holes and dug outs, all well supplied with cartridges, the real guard fighters carrying their guns from one trench to the other unti shot or taken prisoners.
 After an all day struggle in th' dense woods and hills the Americans late today released the most easterl! heights of the Mouse, dominating miles of open country north of Dom villers. the Germans literally havinI been pushed out of every foot O ground.

HERMAN AllAl OAN THE SEDAN FRONT, Nov. ', 6:3O D. m. (Ry the Associated Press).- The matter of peace negotiations fail ed to slow down in the slightest de- gree the operations along the front to. day. The news that Germany had taken definite steps to secure an arm istice reached advanced headquarters but was not accompanied by any or ders affecting the big drive now in progress, and it is expected that the American line will be carried forward without pause.
 With that part of Sedan resting on the western bank of the river occu- pied, the American army is consoli- dating it's positions and preparing for a further advance.
 Vilosnes, Sivry and Haraumont. to the south and east of Dun-Sur-Meuse, were among the places taken this morning. The American troops are in close touch with the line between Thor and Martincourt, where the road bed has been destroyed, the material hay ing been carried away to strengthen the German positions on the heights beyond. To the south of this, Rem lily was captured.
 It is estimated that the Germans are determined not to yield Sedan unless absolutely forced to do so. They have made big concentrations on the heights back of the city and in such places as can be defended both above and sbelow on the river. Concrete entrenchments near the city are strongly held, while all the woods and bridges in the neighborhood has either been destroyed or mined.

But the Associated Press denial and the Review bulletin held them back They had faith in the reliability of news serv- ice that covers the earth, that IS absolutely impartial, and that has never failed in any great news event since its organization.
 And their faith was justified, for the arm istice had not yet been signed at 9 o'clock last night, and last word from the front was to the effect that the American troops were still fighting for Sedan.
 Many of the great cities of the country were victims of this colossal news hoax. They had celebrated in New York, Den yer, Chicago, Salt Lake City and elsewhere.

 evening reiterations of an official
 denial issued by Secretary Lans-

 For a time the citizens committee which had planned demonstrations in of peace within a few days held their balance and announced their determination to await an Of- fieial announcement. But excitement on the streets rose to hysteria, crowds assembled before the White House and government departments and soon the committees were as wild as any body else and the demonstration was under way.

QUAINT OLD INDIAN COINS
SO Adulterated That They Were Not

In 1908 the Independent state Of Hy-

current up till that time. The old mint
Of Hyderabad was little more than a

Of which was In the anvil and the 9TH

q sledge hammer made the impression.
There was no regularity in shape,
weight or stamping, nor was the metal
uniform In quality.
The mint could not furnish supplies
fast enough, and licenses were issued
to coppersmiths to assist in production.
Naturally, the Scientific American
states, nonlicensed persons began to

lead was so fragrant that when several
tons Of these coins were sent to Eng

on account Of their impurity and were
finally worked up into brass for local
