cussions will bring forth a durable
peace for the whole world.
IT is stated by the newspapers that
the note was carefully considered by
the war cabinet consisting Of the
chancellor, the vice chancellor. and
secretaries without portfolio and that
an agreement was reached after .

ANSWER To WILSON
WILL BE Indefinite

occupied territory would not be met.
Berlin papers point out that "if the
enemys overwhelming superiority in
men has overthrown all calculations"
the Germans have nevertheless proved
themselves brilliant and capable and
can not be destroyed as a nation.
That the truth is beginning to per-
meate to the remote parts Of the coun-
try is shown by a chance copy of the
Posen Noueste Naehrichten that has
reached here whose editorial makes a
remarkable admission. 1t says:
"The new chancellor has directly
approached President Wilson, which
may seem surprising to many. The
president has always been held up to
desecration in the German press as a
fanatical war maniac. We were all
the same in this respectA it was be-
cause distorted facts were given US.
1t is now known President Wilson is
no war maniac but desires peace
for the whole world"

HUNS NEAR DISASTER.
Continuity Of Allied Attacks Confusing
. Enemv.

. Enemy.
Paris, Oct 12.-Today finds Germany
a little nearer the brink Of disaster.
Marshal Fochs broom this time has
swept the. enemy back from a wider
front than ever before.
General Ludendcrff now is reaping
the results of the cardinal error he
made in thinking the allied offensives
were bound TO be spaced at wide in
tervals like his own.
The continuity of the attacks have
dunibfounded the Germans and 1t is
plain there is vacillation at grand
German headquarters. For instance, it
appears the evacuation of the Belgian
coast was ordered and the orders coun-
fernandez. which indicates General
Ludendorff no longer Is guided by mill
tary necessity.
In the meantime General I.udendorff
is letting precious time slip by for
which it is likely he will repent sooner
or later.
Marshal Foch in the preface Of his
celebrated book on the Conduct OF
War" says:
"Nogi's army at Mukden sought not
so much to crush the Russian right
by flank attack as to get on his rear
and thas deter,nine the retreat OF all
the enemys forces"
The allied commander in chief seems
now to be applying that principle IN
France. The German front forms a
vast salient from the Escaut to the
Meuse, the extreme point Of it being ut
Anizy. Marshal Foch is attacking it
not alone on one flank but on both al
ternately, while he is pressing the CEN
ter in the section between LaFere and
Berry -au- Bac to prevent the enemy
breaking contactsand slipping away.
