GERMANS PLAN
TO GO BACK
VERY SLOWLY
Vicinity Of Metz is Still Sup
posed to be Pivoting
Point.

With the American Army North
west Of verdun, Nov. 1.-(By the AS
sociated Press.)-There have been
many indications in the last few days
that the Germans intend to retire as
slowly and strategically as possible
from their present positions, especial
ly west of the Meuse and possibly
soil. The vicinity Of Metz will continue
to be the pivot Of this retiring move
ment because Of its strategic import
ance.
Much evidence Of this intention on
the part of the enemy is especially
recognizable on the front Of the Amer
lean second army in the Woevre. De-
prisoners corroborate this information
and say that the German command
is saving every bit Of war material in
the region and transporting light and
heavy guns into German territory
east of Metz.
Even reports Of artillery having
been sent from the front east Of St.
gtons have been received and 1t Is be-
lieved the Germans have been tear
ling up narrow guage railways on
some sectors.
Meanwhile the Germans are orgAn-
izing strong defense positions on the
front of the second army. They have
made preparations for meeting attacks
Of all kinds and special measures have
been taken against possible tank at
tack. The artillery has been echeloned
at great depth and corps and division
al headquarters are being moved to
the rear.
The theory is that the Germans in
tend to hold stubbornly to this sector
while swinging. backward on the
north, pivoting on Metz. The Germans
show great nervousness on the Amer
| ican front. .,

London, Nov. An Allied attack
on Germany from the east was fore
shadowed by George Nicoll Barnes,
member.of the British war cabinet in
speech last evening at the American
officers club in London. -.
The armistice with Turkey might
have been signed earlier" said Mr..
Barnes. '.but we held the Turks on a
string" He explained that the Allies
We're committed to free Arab state,
with Oleppo as the capital, and there
was no hurry to get the Turks out Of
the war until Aleppo was captured.
Other places as necessary to the
Arabs as Aleppo also must be sur
rendered.
t. The British have been assembling
ships at the mouth Of the Dardanelles
for some time, and Mr.. Barnes said
he understood the vessels already had
started through the straits. He COM
cluded: ,e
There now is nothing to prevent
the feet from going into the Black
Sea and up the Danube river to Ger
many's back door, and If the Ger
mans are going to defend their terri
| tory they must divide their remaining
forces between the western front and
the back door at which we shall soon
be knocking"

Diaz for an axnistice, argued
