principles of self-determination laid
down by President Wilson, 0 have
begun to clamor for independence.
Sensational scenes in the ~reichstag

Deputy Stychel claimed the right of
independence, declaring the time had

by the strongest feeling of justice
which lies in mems heart. German

administered and the Poles had not
been permitted to become the equal of

Americans Advance Their Posi-
tons in Face of Strong
Enemy Resistance.
HOLD VANTAGE POINTS
Yankees Take Some High Ground and
Germans Counter Attack Four
Times in Effort to Dis
lodge Them.

With the American Army Northwest
of Verdun, Oct. 26.-After very severe
fighting, the Americans have slightly
advanced their positions.
The gains are slight but are re-
garded as extremely important,
especially On the left where high
ground dominating much of the sur.
rounding terrain has been gained.
There has been comparatively little
alteration in the positions on the cen
ter, but the American Footing In Bel
leau woods, east of the Meuse, was
more securely fixed, Notwithstanding
the determined efforts of the Germans
to force the Americans back.
The fighting for positions just be-
yond Belleau woods began at 4 a. M.
when the Americans drove their way
forward. At daylight the Germans
counter attacked and since the fail
ure of that operation have launched
three other attacks, equally ~unsuccess-
full.
On the extreme left the gains made
by the Americans left them on the
ridge extending from Talma farm to
Bellejoyeuse farm, on a line through
the Bourgogne woods.
Clouds Hamper Air Fighting.
Clouds and ground mists reduced
aerial activity to a minimum, but ar
tillery employing both high explosives
and gas projectiles in guam
titles were used by both sides. Be
sides the artillery action at points.
the Germans devoted much fire to the
back areas and in that portion of the
front about Bantheville, where the
American line was advanced slightly.
Despite the desperate resistance of
the Germans and their apparent inten-
tion to initiate a counter offensive, in
formation falling into the hands of
the Americans continues to indicate
an enemy withdrawal to the Briquenay
line.
