Striving to Beat

Gain on Whole Line

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE SEDAN FRONT, Nov. 8 (By The
Associated Press) (6 p. nt.).--The
American troops fought their way for
ward to-day along virtually their en-
tire line, despite the fact that the
weather was about as bad as could be,
This evening the Americans were in
complete control of both sides Of the
Meuse, and had, in addition, occupied
Remoiville Wood. They also crossed
the river at Mouzon, thus making their
line on both sides complete from Viii
lers- s-Devant-M Mouzon southwark.
The Americans started in to-day with
tho knowledge that, with Germany's
action on the armistice conditions i'm
minent, an early cessation of hostilities
was among the possibilities. This
fact, however, only appeared to make
the men more anxious to accomplish
as much as possible against the enemy
while he was deciding what response
to make.
Stiff Defence Encountered
The resistance encountered was
spirited on the whole, though consist
ing largely Of machine gun activity.
The terrain crossed and captured was
on a par with the most difficult ground
the Americans have taken thus far. tt
gives them the most advantageous post
tions possible for further advance.
The principal obstacle in the path Of
the Americans as they work northeast
is a series of hills behind Chaumont-

they already have pushed their line.

Kaiser's Fall
Rouses Fear
1nWashington
Loss of Reparation to
France and Belgium
Seen in Revolt
! BY Carter Field

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The abdica-
tion Of the Kaiser, which but a brief
time ago would have caused the wild
est Joy in Washington, tonight aroused
new fears and apprehensions. This is
just as true of those who believe that
the United States was not fighting
the. German people, but only the Ger
man peoples rulers, as it is Of those
who have thought up to date that
the German people and the German
Junkers must both be thoroughly
thrashed before this world would be "a
fit place in which to live.
AS the news comes to Washington,
the Kaiser has abdicated in favor Of
his grandson, the eldest son of the
Crown Prince-always regarded as the
worst living example, from the Amer
ican and Allied standpoint, Of the thing
about Germany which the free pco-
Piles Of the world have been trying TO
destroy.
XVcW TOrm Oh government
Friedrich Ebert, German who has
no title, will be the Chancellor during
the regency, while Prince Max of Baden
will continue until the new regency
has been placed in operation. A sort
Of constitutional convention, Judging
from dispatches, in the meantime is
to frame new form of government,
particularly for those of the German
states desiring to remain in the empire.
This news creates little satisfaction
here, because officials studying the
brief and almost cryptic cables do not
see any clearly defined road leading
from the present situation to what is
desired, not only by the Allies, but by
the United States.
1t would have been much better. it
is said on every hand, now that the
Kaiser has ruled until the last mo-
ment when he was able to do any harm,
if the free peoples fighting Germany
could at least have had the benefit of
concluding peace with a strong gov
ernment of some sort.
Some of the cables. particularly those
referring to such contingencies as
some of the German states being per-
mitted to withdraw from the empire
cast doubt on the physical ability of
the Allies to exact the reparation to
France, to Belgium. to Serbia and Mon
tenegro. to Rumania and Italy, and to
the shipping and defenceless towns of
England and Scotland, for what the
Huns have done in the last four years.
Feer Russian Debacle
Either Germany will be broken up
into a group of little states, it is
pointed out, each of which will con-
fdently expect to escape all share of
the payment, wrongs committed, or
there will be a revolution, which in
deed seems imminent, which would re-
duce all Of Germany to The possible
level Of Russia, and make all thought
of reparation travesty.
~ suppose" said one high official OF
they Administration tonight, "that
should the German Empire break up
into a group Of small states. that we
might proceed as Germany has done in

NO DATE FIXED FOR NEW
DRAFT BAKER REPORTS

Washington, Jan. 29.-Expansion
of Americas fighting forces beyond
their present strength depends upon
such factors as events abroad and the
shipping situation, Secretary Baker
said tonight in disclosing that the war
department has not fixed date for
another draft, nor even determined
now many men shall be called. =
When Mr.. Baker told the senate
military committee yesterday that
the United States would have half a
million men in France early this year,
and that in all a million and half
could 60 across if ships could be
found to carry them, he referred to
the divisions now in training camps
and those already in Europe. Future
developments will decide what addi-
tional forces will be sent.
Million Men in Second
The secretary made clear today his
opinion that if events made it neces-
sary to call out more than another in
crement of half a million men, the ex-
ecutive's authority to draft men for
fighting units other than reserves
would be exhausted and further legis-
lation by congress would be neces-
sary. He said, however, that under
the authority to call two increments
of the soldiers of 100000 each and
such additional numbers for recruit
battalions and special units "as the
president may deem necessary" the
second draft might bring out in all
as many as million men.
The senate committee today tenta-
lively approved legislation proposed
by the war department to provide for
the registration of youths attaining
the age Of 81 years since June 5, au-
thorizing the fixing of quotas on the
basis Of Class One of the new classi !
fication and empowering the presi.
dent to call men needed for special
industrial or other work. Provost
Marshal General Crowder. appearing
to explain the bills, told the commit
tee it was proposed to hold a new
drawing to establish the order of La
bility of the new registrants. When
the new men have been given their
serial number their names will be in
serted in the classes to which they
may be assigned, according to a plan
now being worked out.

Allies Can Cripple
German Iron Product

Washington, Jan. 28.-Germany's
iron and steel industries-the basis of
the central powers war machine-lie
within easy reach of the great air
navies which the allies are building
with feverish speed. With these in
dustries crippled the whole iron ma
chine of war, built by Hindenburg,
will be thrown out Of gear.
The air navies-from swift fighting
planes to gigantic bombing machines
with wing spread of 100 feet-will
be ready to begin action by the time
atmospheric conditions permit sys-
tematic operations.
" Germany's "iron country" in Lor-
raine and Westphalia, will be the
principal target of the allied air
raids.
Look at the map-Germany's prin-
cipal ore fields,~ the rich Lorraine
beds, lie wholly within 50-mile air.
line from the allied aviation center at
Nancy-less than 40 minutes flight
even for the slowest machines.
These iron mines cannot be des-
troyed, of courss, but by systematic
COMMANDMENT, such as the allies are
building for, their operations can be
interfered with so as to CUT THEIR
OUTPUT IN HALF.
These Lorraine mines produce even
in peace times more than half of Ger
many's iron, and since foreign I'M
ports have been so greatly restricted,
they must be producing in war times
more than three-fourths.
Look at the map again. Germany's
great iron and steel mills at Essen,
Dusseldorf, and Solingen, lie just out
side a 15O-mile air line from the west
ern front.
In the Rhenish- Westphalian district
all Of which is less than 200 miles
from the allied aviation centers, near
ly all Of Germany's guns, shells, RI
fles and other munitions are made.
DESTROY OR CRIPPLE THESE
PLANTS, AND THE KAISER'S
MILLIONS OF TROOPS WILL
STAND LIKE GLADIATORS WITH
BROKEN SWORDS.
A squadron of the great airplanes
carry in a single trip as great a
weight of explosives as battery of
the heaviest long-range guns can de-
liver in days continuous firing.
France and England will be ready
with their fleets of bombing planes
early in the spring, and before sum-
mer the United Safes will begin to
make deliveries in quantities that will
surpass both of them.
The kaiser knows this and he
wants to force the issue before the
air navies get into operation.
