While the world is held in sus-
pense awaiting action Of Germany
on the allied armistice terms, the
allied armies are grimly sticking
to their task Of driving the foe from
tho soil Of France.
Il is probable that the Germans
now holcl-a strip of French soil not
over six or seven miles in width
from east Of vaienciennes to tire
south bank Of the Mosslie river.
Farther south the line runs along
the frontier, but is nowhere more
than a couple Of miles west Of Ger
many domains.
This fact and the obvious ability
Of the allied armies TO complete
their triumph over the enemy, may
bring about a quick decision Of the
German leaders.
Emperor William is at Spa, It is
said, and it 10 possible that the
German. mission at Marshal Foch's
headquarters may receive instruc-
tions by wireless.
TBy the Associated Press.1
While the German government
is considering armistice terms the
allies are successfully carrying on
the task Of freeing Freneh soil Of
the invader.
On the north the British have
captured Maubeuge and driven the
Germans back in Belgium between
Maubeuge and Mons.
Olong the ScheIdt, in Belgium,
where the British hold part Of
Tournai, Field Marshal hais's
men have crossed the river on
nine mile front north Of Journal.
q General Petain's armies continue
their march toward the Belgium
frontier. The French have driven
tho Germans from nearly all the
natural defenses west Of the
Franco Belgian border and If the
advance maintains this pace the
French should reach the frontier
at some points before nishtfail.
East Of the Meuse the Americans
advanced toward Montmedy and
the Briey iron fields. The forward
movement is on front north and
south Of DamvilIers. Further north
toward Sedan there has been only
artillery fighting.
Reports from Germany are that

tinue to spread, especially il the
