With the American Army, North
west of verdun. Wednesday, Oct 16.
I'm its successful advance north of
the ,Argonne forest today the Amer
lean first army reached Champig-
neulle, one mile north Of st. Juyin.
A little further east toward the
Meuse they gained possession Of the
Cote de ChadI1on.
East Of the Meuse the Americans
moved forward to Bois de la Grande
Montangne, the summit of which
they now hold.
In the center of the front between
the Argonne and the Meuse the
Americans are now south Of the
Loges wood and hold the Cote de
Ghatillon.
After having captured Grand Pre-
village, the Americans advanced
their lines to the eastward and oc-
cupied Moulin les-Pas. They surged
forward until they had taken control
of Loges wood one and a half miles
north of Chevieres.
The American advance was every
where desperately contested, espe-
ciaIly during the crossing of the
Aire river, but the Americans pres
sed on.
A part of, todays work consisted
of consolidation OF positions on Hill
1872 just north OF st. Juvin. The
American artillery was active all day
and the German guns responded
freely. Infantry fighting, however,
was limited to the left flank of this
sector.
Additional evidence has been re-
ceiyed from prisoners that the Ger
mans are putting in the best divi-
sions they have in the effort to check
the American advance.

Washington, Oct 17.-Great events
are impending in Germany. That
they will come within a day, week
or month, officials will not hazard
a guess; that they are inevitable, no
one in Washington doubts.
Unofficial reports from Holland
and Switzerland that Germany i'm
mediately, will accept President VII
sons peace terms are without con-
lrmation here; nor. is there any in
formation that Germany's reply has
been drawn. ...., 49,.
In fact Swiss dispatches saying the
reichstag will meet tomorrow to dis
cess President Wilson's note would
indicate no reply has yet been draft
ed.
Internal conditions as well as the
military situation are expected to
dictate both the form and promptness
of GerInany's' answer. One was re-
garded as only little less serious
than the other; and there was al
ways the possibility that combined
they forced the German leaders to a
conclusion even before the first note
asking for an armistice was dispatch
ed.
From behind the veil Of secrecy
within the empire, rumblings OF dis
content long have been reaching the
outside world but the extent Of the
upheaval cannot yet be accurately
guaged. The fact that radical changes
are being made in the German legis-
Iature and unofficial reports that the
kaiser had relinquished his power to
declare martial law, were further in
dications that the power Of the junk
ers is waning.
On the battlefield there was a
clearer view OF the extremtties which
the enemy has reached. Latest re-
ports told of a, German retreat in
Northern Belgium on a tremendous
scale,

Although the statement issued at

that yesterdays rumors were pre-
