10 our attention, had we not known
Mr. Seymour so well, we would have
inferred that possibly scme of he
languase contained therein was in
tended to reflect upon the characl ~
and qualifications of his opponent,
but of course This cannot be so, Tor
Joe himself has said in the press so
emphatically that he had not, and

the above letter is further ample ev-

he does things. II will be observed

Washinston, Nov. 2.-Gene"al
March said the debacle by Germany's
allies was being pressed TO compile
lion. The events of the pasl week
have resulted in the concentration of
enemy resistanc in one nation. The
Germans havei continued to oppose
the Allied advance on The western
front. The greatest Allied gains have
been on the Italian front, whore
they have advanced thirty-seven
miles. General March said the OBJ
iect was The cutting of tho Austrian
line of withdrawal and thai this had
been accomplished.
General March said that the new
Franco-American attack on both
sides of The Argonne had formed a
decided pocket in lhe German lines,
indicating the necessity for withdraw
al from the northern portion. This
would bring the Americans heaviest
artillery nearer the main German
railway through Stenay.
