Reply by President Wilson
 To Latest Teutonic Peace
 Note Not ( Considered Likely
By Associated Press.


 WASHINGTON. Oct 2S. - The German governments reply to Presi- dent Wilson's last note asserting that the negotiations for peace are being conducted by peoples government with actual and constitutional pow CTS and that the terms of the Ameri- can and allied governments for an armistice are awaited, reached the Swiss legation by cable.
 This communication is regarded here merely as an acknowledgement of the presidents communication with an indication of the anxious de sire of those in power at Berlin to hasten the coming of definite state meiit of the terms upon which their enemies will permit hostilities to cease.
 The president is expected to make no reioinder His personal exchanges with the German authorities, officials said today, ended when he transmit ted the correspondence to the Allies. The next step must be on the part of the belligcrents, acting in concert.
 Germany's rejoinder to Wilson's last note was rather unexpected here. Pending receipt of the official text through the Swiss legation comment was withheld. Generally, however, the note was not regarded as one re- qui-ing an answer.
 The diplomatic situation is just where 1t was when President Wilson informed the German government that it5 request for an armistice and peace had been transmitted to the AL lied governments. The next step ex- pected was the submission of terms of an armistice to Germany.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2S. Peace negotiations and President Wilson's statement asking for the return of a democratic congress were vehicles of partisan debate in the senate today which continued throughout the ses- sion and blocked the plans of com gres to adjourn tomorrow for over the elections. Senators who know, said the Hres'dert's appear raised the question as to whether the will of the president, or the will of the American people is to determine the policy of this country in ending the war.
 Senator Poindexter declared that the president assumed more author ity than was given him under the constitution in fixing peace terms. Democratic senators led by Hitch cock of Nebraska, vigorously defend ed the president, answering the con tention that the third clause in Will sons IA peace principles was a free trade" plank. Hitchcock read letter from the president saying that his words left every nation free to de- eide its own internal economic pol icy. but that the tariffs adopted should apply to all nations alike.
 Senator Ashurst of Arizona in re- ierring to the attacks by Col. Roose- ,elt, declared that the former presi- dent also had criticized Lodge, Shoot and Penrose at the time the progress we party was formed and said things ust as untrue of these men as things ne is saying about the president.

Prospective Retirement Of
 Hohenzollerns Causes Few
 Tears Among the Germans
By Associated Press.

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 2S-President Wilson's note to Germany was print ed in the German newspapers on Thursday evening and on Friday morning. The Vossische Zeitung of Berlin printed the English text along side the note in German.
 Many papers apparently contem- plate without excessive lament the prospective disappearance of the Hohenzollern family dynasty. The emperor's abdication is again strong iy reported to be impending.
 Ii is noteworthy that the frank fort Gazette hints at a coming sac rifice' with comparative equanimity and both the Berlin and Frankfort stock exchanges showed an improved tendency as the result of President Wilson's note.
 Fears are not concealed that the entente conference at Paris will put forward demands incompatible with German honor," but the anxiety to know the exact terms of the associat ed governments puts everything else in the background.
 Anger and shame are bad counsel lors," says the Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin, which is content to leave the decision to the army leaders.
 It is a significant sign of the times that Prince Lichnowsky's pamphlet blaming the German government for starting the war and saying that Eng land did everything to avoid it. has been permitted to rcappear in Ger many.

 WASHINGTON, Oct. .2S. - Press dispatches to the Hague, transmitted to the state department, say that General Ludendorff has resigned his post as first quartermaster general the real leader of the German army, as the result of his complete disagree ment with Prince Maximilian, chancellor.

According to the dis patches from Switzerland, Luden- dorff's successor probably will be General Won Seckt, who was Von Mackensen's chief-of-staff in Ru- mania.

PHOENIX, Oct. 2S.-"We have re ccived no news whatever concerning Frank" stated Frank Luke, ST, to- day. The father of Frank Luke, IT,, one of the foremost fighting fliers of the American forces in France, is alarmed for the safety of- his daring Son. but is hoping that he has met with no fatal mishap.
 "If Frank has been missing since Oct. O." continued Luke, i've are hoping that he is captive within the German lines and that he has not been killed in combat 1 think at is most probable that he is a prisoner. Had he been killed in combat the Germans would have given it out at once. while they would not have been in a hurry to report his capture"

 WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY WEST OF VERDUN, Oct. 2S. - Lieut.. Frank Luke of Phoenix, Ari- zona. one Of the most daring of the American aviators, has been missing since the night of Oct. 20. On that night he started cut on a bombing expedition and SO far has failed to return.
 Lieut.. Luke. although not yet of- ficially credited as being an ace, is believed to have at least nine victor ies to his credit, for which he will re- ceive official recognition. He has earned the reputation of being specialist in the destruction of enemy balloons, IA of which he has set afire.
 An expert at getting" balloons in their beds, Lieut.. Luke's favorite method was to drop within l50 feet of the earth and, indifferent to the of his wings with bullets. ac- complish his task of destroying the enemy balloon in its berth.

Boilers Exploded?

SEATTLE. Oct. ZS.-With no sur vivors found thus far to describe the last moments before the sinking of the steamer Princess Sophia several theories regarding the cause of the disaster have been formulated by shipping men. The most generally accepted is that after the ship was pushed by the hurricane off Wander bilt Reef, the furnishing waters eX- ploded her boilers or else otherwise her tanks would have kept her afloat. or the 343 persons believed lost, the bodies of 150 have been recovered. It is reported that the shore for miles around is strewn with bodies.

 The Princess Alice, a sister ship of the Sophia, arrived at the scene oi the wreck yesterday, it was thought here today. When the Alice leit Van couver for the north Thursday 1t was thought she would arrive Sunday to take off the passengers and crew of the Sophia. Instead the Alice will come back as a ship of the dead.
 Others Joined Crew.
 According to wireless rom lht Cedar, 343 persons were aboard the Sophia. Lists sent from Sbagwkay and Vancouver placed the total al around 335. l. was thought possible that several joined the crew at the northern port at the last moment and were not on the Sllagway and Van couver lists.
 l. R. Young, whose body was brought to Juneau, was chief cngin- ger of the Yukon river steamboat Dawson. He resided in Vancouver. Capt Frank Gossie, whose body also was found, was second officer of the Sophia. Mrs. II. NJ Bridges, another recovered. was the wife of the pro prietor of the Yul,onia restaurant oi Dawson. Y. T.

PARIS. Oct. 2S. - Germany's ar mics have begun new retreat, this time between the Disc and the Aisne. Gen. Debcncy's First army, in the face of stubborn resistance and re- pcated counter-attacks, has succeeded in swinging on its right flank so that it faces east. It has reached Guise and the Guise-A Marie road, driving the enemy before it.
 Gen. Debeney is now in position to push rapidly along the upper Oise valley toward Hirson and Vervine, through a level country devoid of streams. The first result of his pro- gress IS to force the enemy opposing the Tenth and Fifth French armies. exhausted by fruitless counter at taclls, to begin a backward move ment, which is eventually bound to extend to the front before Reithel..
 This will open to the Fourth army a double passage of the Aisne and Nrdennes canal

 . Gen. Debeny's success was won by sheer hard fighting The importance the enemy attached to stopping this passage up the Disc ma. ae gathered from the fact that the Germans yes terday threw in three fresh divisions which, however, were knocked out.
 FRENCH ARMY HEADQUART- FRS, Get. 29.-Rcuter's correspond cnt cables:
 This evening Gen. Debeney's army after three days and nights of inces- sant fighting, dislodged the enemy from the Hermann line, pursuing him to the next line, few miles north, in ,crsected by streams and here and there great patches of thick woods, admirably adapted to the purposes of defensive warfare. Yet, in three days, we have covered as many miles in depth as in the same number of months last year. I should hesitate 70 say that Falcncicnnes has not by. now been forsaken by the enemy.

They have also transformed part of Alsace into great entrenched camp in which carefully prepared defense positions will make up for the lack of human material The Germans have expected a unified attack by the French and Americans against the German left wing and are fearful that the Allied troops will break through IS they have done in other attacks.
