The American army has thrown a formidable force across the Mouse to the east, bank. The, enemy resistance here has been broken to the point of demoralization and the Americans are pushing northward toward Stenay. By this afternoon the enemy was in full retreat northward. He was offer ing little opposition and the roads toward the north were seen to be full of the fleeing enemy.
 The Americans pressed close upon the heels of the Germans and made their retirement as difficult as pos sible.
 The American casualties were very light despite the opposition to the crossing of the river.
 The work of throwing bridges across the Mouse began soon after dark last night. It was conducted un- der whitening fire from artillery and machine guns. The Americans successes in constructing four pom toon bridges at pont about two kilo- metres east of Brieulles. but lost one by artillery fire when the first bri- gade poured across until formidable force had been assembled on the east bank. The enemy resistance then be- gan to decrease, so badly was he de. moralized. Then the Americans were able to begin their northward push to- ward Stenay.

 the enforcement of international cov- enants.
 Very soon after the address was de- Iivered, anxiety developed in Europe and particularlp in England as to just what was meant by article 2. Appre- hension was openly expressed in the English press that this involved the right of blockade and of the right to capture enemy property on the high seas and perhaps even a curtailment of the right to maintain fortified nav al bases which might not only render the British navy largely valueless as an offensive agency, but limit it's usefulness in protecting the empire.
 Later it appeared that these were precisely the articles sought by Ger many, whose war lords hoped to neu- tralixed the predominance of British saval force while maintaining. in full efficiency it's own land armies.
 Alsace-L Lorraine is not mentioned in the allied memor1dum. The entente governments know, howecer, ad it is assume dthat the Germans understand that by "yighting the wrong" done to France, President Wilson meant in the terms accepted by Germany, the return of the lost provinces to France. W
 The guarantee that final peace con ditiQns will be dictated under inter pretation of principles by the victors without undue argument by the van guished is provided in the armistice terms.
 In placing the matter of an armis- tice in Marshal Foch" hands and at the same time informing the Ger mans through President Wilson, the associated nations have strictly obser- ved the diplomatic amenities while maintaining the purpose to make the armistice g purely military measure which should afford no possibility of . misunderstanding of the fact that it is offered to a defeated army.
 All along there has been a belief that the German high command has been desperately anxious to avoid ad- mission of the complete defeat of
