tempted to hinder the Americans with the result that at least 10 of them were sent down crashing. Two of. these be- hind the American lines. Several American pursuit planes escorting the bombing machines blocked one German from returning to his own lines and drove him in the direction of St. Mihiel. One of the American aviators sent a German down near Bayonville.
 Raiders Equipment
 The expedition consisted of four squadrons of bombers, two Squadrons of pursuit planes which attacked Ger man infantry; two squadrons of scouts, flying at an altitude of 1000 meters to protect the bombers; two squadrons of scouts flying at from 1000 to 5000 me- ters and three squadrons flying at A. 300 meters to protect the bombers. The bombing machines flew at 4,000 meters.
 One American plane, damaged dur ing the flight, landed north of Brieulles which was a No Mans land. The aviator was injured, but American in- fantry rescued him despite German ma chine gun fire. The aviator is in a field hospital but his wound is not serious. Another American machine is missing but is believed to have landed within the American lines. The afternoon was somewhat cloudy The expedition apparently was a big surprise to the Germans, for F'okkers did not appear until bombers in some instances had accomplished their tasks and started back. The scouting ma | chimes were at the Fokkers and shoot ing as soon as they hove into sight The day is considered to have been tn, most successful in the history O American aviation.

 PROBABLY TODAY
AMSTERDAM, Oct. 1s.-The German reply to President Will son probably will be dispatched on Saturday afternoon according ! to advices received here.
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-LittIe new information reached Washington today about the developments going forward in C. many upon which will depend the nature and time of the next move toward peace. The situa- tion apparently is what it has been for several days. The Germans are has tenlng their constitutional and elec- toral reforms in the hope of present. ing a government with which tn. United States and the allies will deal In restoring permanent peace while conferences proceed on the question of now far the military machine shall go toward meeting conditions prece- dent to consideration of the plea for the ardently desired armistice
 Expected to Wait
 There is no evidence here of great disappointment over the failure of a new note to come from Berlin as quickly as persistent reports through neutral countries have indicated it might be expected. In fact, when President Wilson's reply to Prince MaXimilian was dispatched it was as sumed that considerable time must elapse before the Germans would be heard from again. In view of the vir- tual demand for an unconditional sur render, the hour for which no one here was ready to predict had come. Of course, it also was assumed that at least one more trial at bargaining was to be expected so another note is looked for as soon as those ih power at Berlin decide they are in a position to make a proposal likely either to receive consideration or to cause q rift in the allied camp and strengthen ] the situation at home.
 Watch Western Front
 The attitude in Washington is one of confident waiting for the break that ultimately must come, even though another winter and spring campaign may be necessary. Every one is watching the western front. The great retreat of the Germans there is being carried out without demoraliZation, indicating that discipline and fight still is left in the kaiser's war machine. It is realized that a successful stand before the German borders are reached may govern the tone of the next diplo- matic communication and give the war lords another period of grace.

AMERICANS WRECK-PAGE ONE
 WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Oct. IS. s D. m. (By the Associated Press)- More than sixty American day bomb- ing aviators today attacked Bayonville. Buzancy and other towns north of the American line at Grand Pre-. Escorting planes downed ten German machines.
 This is said to have been the largest enterprise yet carried out by an all- American flying force.
 More than four tons of. bombs were dropped by the American air forces, the bombers paying particular atten- ton to Bayonville, where a concentra- tion of German troops had been re- ported. Buszancy received its share, owing to it's importance as a railway town and the supply depots there. In the region of Bayonville, 20 fokkers at tempted to drive off the Americans, who kept the upper hand everywhere.
 Other Towns Raided
 The Americans also bombed Remon- vile. Briquenay. Verpel. Cleryle grand, Aincreville and Imecourt. each of these towns being either a German supply point or an army unit headquarters. Different observers reported explosions with great clouds of smoke in Bayon- vile, Remonville and 1mecourt. The aviators took advantage of the first clear weather in three days, the eXpe- dition starting soon after midday. In the region of BuZancy sixteen folk kers endeavored to head off the Amer jeans but scouts drove them off permit ting the bombers to accomplish their mission. In the region of Verpel ner- " Boche single-hapded attempted tc attack the bombers, but was quickly | down.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, Oct. -1S.-Indepen- dence of the Czecho- -Slovak nation was declared formally today. The declara- tion. renouncing allegiance to the Hapsburg dynasty and announces principles for the foundation of @ re- public, was issued in Paris and copy handed to President Wilson by J. Cisar of the councils staff in Washington.
 The document after announcing the independence of the Czecho- Slovak na tion, and reviewing the events leading up to this event, continues:
 Text of Document
 We cannot and will not continue to live under the direct or indirect rule of Serbia, the would-b murderer of Rus sia and Rumania, the murderers of tens of thousands of civilians and sol diers of our blood, and the accomplices in numberless unspeakable crimes committed in this war against human ity by the two degenerate and ire sponsible dynasties. We will not re- main a part of a state which has no justification for existence, and which, refusing to accept the fundamental principles of modern world organiZa- tion, remains only an artificial and inn moral political structure, hindering ev- cry movement toward democratic and social progress. The Hapsburg dynas- ty weighed down by a huge inheri- tance of error and crime, is perpetual menace to the peace of the world, and we deem it our duty to warn human ity and civilization to aid in bringing about it's downfall and destruction.
 Rejects Divine" Stuff
 We reject the sacriligious assertion hot ezGA A1a. T Hohenzollern dynasties is of divine origin; we refuse to recognize the di- vine rights of kings. Our nation elected the Hapsburgs to the throne of Bohe- mia of it's own free will and by that same right deposes them. We hereby declare the Hapsburg dynasty un- worthy of leading our nation and deny all of their claims to rule in the Czecho- Slovak land, which we here and now declare shall henceforth be a free and independent people and nation.
 Accept Democracy
 I We accept and shall adhere to the ideals of modern democracy, a5 they have been the ideals of our nation fol centuries. We accept the American principles as laid down by President Wilson; the principles of liberated mankind-of the actual equality of na- tions-and of governments deriving al their just power from the consent o the governed.
 We, the nation of Comenius, canno but accept these principles. expressed in the American declaration of inde. pendence, the principles of Lincoln ant of the delaration of the rights of mal and of the citizen.

TEUTONS RETREAT :. PUTS BELGIUM IN
 JOYOUS SPIRITS
Country Freed From Huns
 Celebrates; People Dance,
 Parade, Sin g; Allie S Praised As Liberators

WITH THE ALLIED ARMIES IN BELGIUM, Oct. 1S.-(By the Associ- ated Press)-The speed with which the Germans are retreating from Belgium and northern France makes it appear that they are twice as anxious to get out now as they were to get in four years ago. The country, freed from the Huns, today is wild with joy.
 In Lille the population celebrated throughout last night. shooting fire works and dancing in the streets, while whole streams of old and young wo- men and elderly men paraded around arm in arm singing the Marseillaise. The soldiers and official photographers were smothered with kisses, and babies by the scores were held up to be kissed by the British soldiers.
 Every street in the city, which shows no outward signs of war, is bedecked with the colors of the allies, especially with the British union jack, on which was written, "Glory to our liberators." The citizens explained that they had kept the flags well hidden in their houses especially for this occasion, for which they had been waiting four years and were certain would some sooner or later.
 Roses for Soldiers
 Flowers plucked from nearby fields ana roses from gardens were thrown lhto automobiles and pressed upon every man wearing the British uniform, The fighting British troops did not sweep through the city, but passed on either side of it in hot pursuit of the Germans fha h c oP x1r6o o1a at o'clock yesterday morning after blowing up the bridges on the other side of the town. This was a useless proceeding, because the British troops did not need tl4em. They went outside the city because they did not desire tc elve the Germans the slightest excuse for bombarding it after they were ] forced to leave.
 Refugees Return
 scenes similar to those in Lille were repeated everywhere over the vast | stretches of territory wrested from the | Germans. All the roads in the rear | contain the familiar carts of refugees on which are the usual household goods and babies. But these wagons looked strange. The men, women and children with them are laughing and sihlllng as they hurry to get back tc their homes. The last time the, travelled these roads they were goine In the other direction fleeing in ter. TOT from the enemy.
 Many of these refugees, living in q zone scared by war, will not find theil homes at all. Some of them will fin( only wrecked and fire scared skele tons. But there are many more wh Will find their homes intact, for tn, allies armies almost everywhere oi this front have been long ''in the blue
