"Donkey's Head" in the Argonne Forest,
Was Strong Position.

With the American Army Northwest
of Verdun, Nov 5 (by the Associated
Press Hidden away in almost the ex-
act geometrical center of the Argonne
forest, far behind the present American
lines, is a position called by the French
at the outset of the war "Donkey's
Head"-which, because of the magnitude
of the operations along the wide front.
thus far has escaped especial mention.
According to unofficial dispatches late
in 1914, it took the Germans months to
capture this veritable fortress from the
French. 1t is one of the glorious, though
heretofore unwritten chapters in Ameri-
can military history, that the doughboys
swept over and past this place in few
days, and wrested from the enemy with
out great difficulty position that might
well be considered invulnerable.

Armistice terms upon which hostilities

on land and sea and compel the eyacua-
tion not only OF occupied territory, but
OF part of its own soil. Official announce

made last night by Secretary Lansing,
who added only that diplomatic unity
has been achieved under conditions OF

New Jersey to vote in the congressional

While confident that the conditions to

short Of unconditional surrender. many
military and diplomatic observers here
believe they will be accepted. With hei
last and principal ally out of the war
Germany, they say, must realize the
futility Of continuing the unequal strug-
