Lar,ino Awaits Text Of Note.

Washington. Oct. 81 - Secretary
Lansing today had reason to believe
the German reply to President Wilson
would be received very shortly. per
haps before The day was over.
The secretary did not indicate what
information had reached him to clear
up the uncertainty regarding the COM
ing Of the German reply. He said, OF
course, there could be no comment on
the various versions Of the probable
nature Of the note.
There have been so many conflicting
reports officials are guarded in their
comment They are waiting to see
the text OF the note and in the mean
time are not inclined to spend much
time specializing whether concessions
the Germans are said to have deter
minted upon will meet the conditions
which must be met to permit further
exchanges on the subject OF peace.
That the Swiss legation. thru which
the note will come. it twas said this
morning. not even an intimation had
been received that communication
was on It's. way.
viii Not Give Out WireIess Version.
A wireless version OF the German
reply to President Wilson reached the
state department today.
The note as received by wireless viii
not be made public here nor will offi-
cials discuss London dispatches de-
scrtbing It's contents.

London Oct c1.-More than 5000
prisoners were captured by the Brit
ish yesterday north Of lie Cateau
where the Selle river was crossed on
a wide front, according to Field Mar
shal Haig's statonent today.
The German positions were OF great
natural strength and were strongly
held and there was heavy fighting
thruout the day. The weather was
unfavorable and the river was in food,
in the fighting.
In the valenciennes region the Brit
ish are approaching st. Armand. six
miles northwest OF Valenciennes. North
of Tournai they are pushing forward
to the line of the Scheldt river.
Fifteen thousand retreating German
soldiers have been interned In Holland,
after being cut off by Belgian troops
moving northward from Eecloo. ac-
cording to reports from the frontier
reaching Amsterdam and transmitted
by the Exchange Telegraph Company.
Belgian soldiers took charge OF the
Dutch Belgian border Saturday night
and were received enthusiastically by
the populace.
Scenes OF happiness at Brugcs
eclipsed those at Lille after the liber
alton OF the two cities, according to
the correspondent Of the Daily Mall.
The correspondent writes:
"When the only American woman
left in Bruges was told Of the deeds OF
Americans in France she cried with
happiness:
oh. II had only known that.
Bruges was fined enormous sums on
various occasions, the correspondent
adds. The city was searched four
times for copper. The works at Bruges
were robbed OF every scrap OF machn- =
cry. The Germans paid for nothing
except for food and drink and then In
paper money. The town Itself is intact
and the old belfry and the front of the
Hotel de Vile are unintured- Most or
the pictures remain in the gallery and
Bruges seems to be as rcstful as in
the old days except that all the bridges
are gone.

They added that the Americans in
taking over this sector would find more
formidable opposition than any place
else on this front. A strong German
defense was necessary on this sector,
they said, because it was necessary to

Wilson's Reference to lnhuman Acts
rBy the Associated Press.1 ]

London, Oct. 21.-The German re-
ply to President Wilson's note. the
text of which was received here to-
day by wireless, says Germany hopes
the United States will approve OF no
demand which would be irreconcilible
with the honor of the German people
and with the opening Of the way to =
peace Of justice.
Germany ceases to torpedo passen-
ger boats. Germany has dispatched

The German government suggests
that an opportunity be brought about
for fixing the details Of evacuation OF
occupied territory,
Protest Cruelty Accusations.
Germany protests against the refer
ences Of President Wilson to illegal
and inhuman acts. Denial is made
that the German navy purposely de-
stroyed lifeboats with passengers. The
German government proposes that
the facts be cleared up by neutral
commissions.
Germany, according to information
received here, has asked a neutral gov
ernment to inform President Wilson
that Germany is prepared to agree to
permit a neutral nation to investigate
charges of depredations.
Seeks to Excuse >Oestruetion.
Announcement is made of funda-
mental change in the German consti-
tuition, providing for representation OF
the people in the decisions concerning
peace and war, and it is said the pres
ent government has been formed in
complete accordance Herewith.
Germany claims the sanction OF In
ternational law for carrying out de-
struction of property in retreats and
says her troops are under strict in
structions to spare private property.
Where transgression occurs, the note
says. the guilty are being punished.
People Will Rule.
No future German government will
be able to take or hold office unless it
possesses the confidence of a majority
of the reichstag, the note announces.
Germeny has agreed that conditions
of an armistice should be left to the
military advisers and that the actual
standard of power on both sides in the
field should form the basis for arrange
ments.
