LONG RANGE GUNS
OF U.S.POUND HUNS
Allies Pushing Germans Back on West
and East Fronts

With the American Forces North
west of Verdun, Oct. 2S.-American
long range guns late today began fir
ing on Longuyon. The American long
range fire also is being directed
against the vital Vote de Rocade, on
the railway line paralleling the front.
Bo~mbardment of Longuyon with big
shells is achieving the purpose of the
American advance northwest of YER
dun, in which 10000 Germans have
been killed, wounded or captured in
the last month. That purpose is to
put out of use the railway line run
ming through Longuyon, which is the
only communication between all the
German armies west of'the Mouse riv-
er and Metz and Luxemburg.
With that railway unserviceable, the
enemy will have no line of retreat or
means of obtaining ammunition and
other supplies from Germany except
through Belgium by way of Liege

CITY Hall Is Turned Into
An Emergency Hospital

The County Council of Defense and
a number of the city's business men
have been busy the past few days get
ting i'm operation an emergency hos
pital for which purpose the seconded
floor of the city hail is being used.
While the epidemic is not considered
bad in the city there are several fam
lilies where all members are afflicted
with the disease and il is a difficult
matter to secure the services of a
nurse For this reason the council OF
defense deemed it wise TO establish a
temporary hospital where the efforts
of a nurse might be centralized. Miss
Gertrude Rines, Red Cross Public
Health Nurse, who has spent the past
two months in Hand county, under the
direction of the state board of health,
is in charge of the hospital and she is
being assisted by several young ladies
who have volunteered their services
in the relief work. There are now ten
patients, all i'll with influenza at the
hospital, and the authorities in charge
state that it is a county hospital as
well as city where patients from the
country may be taken. The facilities
are somewhat limited but every effort
will be made to care for any patients
who may be taken there. OF the
patients in the hospital now, only two
are reported in a serious condition,
owing to relapses, from getting out too
soon. The other patients are said to
be getting along nicely. The commit
tee in charge is not making personal
solicitation for help but will appre-
ciate any volunteer services offered
in caring for the sick. Every one en-
| tering the hospital wears a mask and
every ~precaution is taken to safeguard
the workers against contracting the
disease.

Peace Move Grows
In Austria Turkey
Indications Point to Early Armistice===AIIies
Suspicious and Cautious

Basel, Switzerland, Oct. 2S.-Aus-
tria-Hungary, in notifying President
Wilson that it is ready to enter upon
peace negotiations and arrange an
armistice, asks President Wilson in
its reply to him to begin o%vertures on
the subject.
The Austro-Hungarian foreign min
lister instructed the Austro-Hungarian
minister at Stockholm yesterday to
ask the Swedish government to send
the following note to the Washington
government:
Separate Peace Plea
1.-THE Austro-Hungarian government
declares itself ready, in consequence,
without awaiting the result Of other
negotiations, to enter into negotiations
upon peace between Austria Hungary
and the states in the opposing group
and for an immediate armistice upon
all Austro-Hungarian fronts.
ct asks President Wilson to be so
kind as to begin overtures on this sub
ject."
The Austrian note is dated Oct. 2S at
Vienna and is signed by Count julius
Andrassy;, the new foreign minister.
London Sees Surrender
London, Oct 29.-Austria's reply to
President Wilson is viewed here as
unconditional surrender. Additional
interest is given the note in view of
the effect it will have inevitably in the
position of Germany.
1T removes" say the Telegram,
"any lingering doubt as to the total
defeat of Germany, for which besides
being a most grave military misfor-
tune 1t involves ultimate crushing po-
litical defeat as it destroys the mon
strous fabric known as pan-German-
ism"
Paris Suspicious
Paris, Oct. 29.-"The capitulation Of
Austria is the unvarying caption with
which the morning papers precede
Count Julian Andrassy's note to Pres
ident Wilson The editorials of the
papers, however, urge caution lest
there be a hidden snare behind the
offer.
Beware of the last commissions OF
e colossal enemy who is not yet COM
pletely crushed" says the Echo de
Paris. "The situation will not clear
until military defeat is acknowledged
or inflicted. 1t will leave in its train
the central empiI es, including Ger
many"
All the papers agree that Count An
drassy represents nobody and there
fore separate peace is absurd and i'm
possible.
Germany Awaits Proposals
London, Oct 2S.-Germany's answer
to President Wilson's fastest commun-
ication declares that Germany is now
awaiting proposals for an armistice.
Wilson Not to Reply
The president is expected to make
no rejoinder. His personal exchanges
with the German authorities, officials
today said, ended when he transmitted
the correspondence to the Allies. The
next step must be on the part OF the
co-belligerents acting in concert.

FIRST FORECAST
OF NOV. ELECTION
New York Herald Predicts Republican
House, Democratic Senate

New York, Oct. 26.-The New York
Herald's canvass OF the country to
catch i'm advance the drift in the cam
paign for the congressional elections
to be held on Tuesday, November 9Th,
indicates that the senate will remain
democratic, although there will be re-
publican gains, and that the demo-
Gratis will lose the house of represent
atives by a narrow margin.
This is a preliminary forecast based
upon the most authentic reports Dbl
tainable from absolutely unbiased
sources in every state in the Union.
This canvass was made before Presi-
lent Wilson issued his appeal to the
voters Of the Union to return a demo-
cratic congress in both branches to
help him in the conduct of the war.
Senate Is Doubtful
Here is the present outlook for the
new congress:
Denis. Reps Certain Doubtful
Senate :. 46 Al D
House ,S5 21s 80
The present congress stands;
Denis Reps. Ind Vac.
Senate 52 "A
House ..214 207 Z.
A majority of the senate is 40.
A majority Of the house is 21S.
1t will thus be seen that the repub-
licans, if the New York Herald has
been correctly informed, are sure OF
control Of the house unless some I'M
foreseen change takes place. The Ell
feet of the presidents appeal may TIT
the scale the other way. 1t is going
to be close in any event.
AS for the senate, there is a possi-
hility of republican success In enough
states to gain control, but the Her
AIDS reports indicate that the repubii-
can gains will not go far enough for
that
War Chief Issue
The forthcoming election is to be
unique In the history of the United
States. Both parties have abandoned
discussion of purely party issues, n
the war alone furnishes each side with
IFS issues except. as in some cases,
prohibition and woman suffrage have
been factors.

Some Appreciative Readers

In offering reward for the detection of those who steal copies of The Republican from our sub scribers, are not that the circulation de- parmen of this is taking quite the right at these paper thieves It perhaps occurred to the circulation department that the theft paper however great may be the loss to the subscriber however annoying to the circulation department, is after all rather delicate compliment to The Re publican especially to the editorial and repororaI departments.
 Anything worth stealing must be something worth while. Considering the risk and the trouble the paper thieves really pay for their papers than the regular subscribers do and thereby they convey a greater appreciation of the excellence of The Re publican.
 If the papers stolen from The Republican while the title to them yet remained in it. we would not much we could stand the loss but we are interested in and bound to protect our sub- scribers against the depredatons of our unknown and appreciative admirers, hence the reward.
