NO SPRING CAMPAIGN
IBy Carl D. Groat, United Press Staff
Correspondent

[By Carl d. Groat, United Press Stan
Correspondent
WASHINGTON. Oct. 1S.-"The
next two weeks should determine
whether we shall have a spring offen-
sive.
'In the meantime, we are proceed
ing on the theory that the war is
going on and that a spring campaign
on big lines must be fought"
This summary OF the war and peace
situation came today. ito the United
Press from general -ofifcer, holding
one of the most important places in
the army establishment. but prevent
ed by army rules from talking for
publication, If his name is used.
II believe" he said. that by the
first of November We should know
whether Germany is going to yield
on President Wilson's terms. l am
certain that Germany wants peace
very badly.
'It Is now just question with her
as to what price she is willing to pay
for keeping the American-allied
armies off her soil"
He declared that it would be fatal
to go on any assumption other than
all the lighting branches are going
ahead with their plans on scope
greater than ever before and with a
speed and enthusiasm hitherto un-
equalled.
Some weight mas been attached
here to the fact that news reports
fail to show an abnormally large
number of prisoners In the present
big advance in Belgium.
Secretary of War Bakers attention
was called to this phase of the situa-
tion and he pointed out that the de-
partment has no late accurate reports
of prisoners. On the other, hand, he
suggested that the apparent lack of
big bags of prisoners might be due
to the fact that thus far the Belgian
attack has been largely frontal.
The allies are making for another
main objective, Valenciennes.
The effect of constant retreat, plus
the repeated German official promises
of peace, has been to shake Teuton
army morale to it's roots.
The German plainly is going back
to his home lines. If the nation does
not yield, there will be battle royal
along the German border defenses
next year-a defensive fight on Ger
many's part which can be kept up a
long time and at great cost to the
allies. This phase of the situation
causes officials here to suggest that
now Is the time to go on-not relax.

from which the Boches had been

Both operations netted important
gains without heavy cost.
Artillery activity has greatly in

Allies Driving Home Victories.
LONDON, Oct. 18.-The allies are
rapidly driving home their victories
both on the west front and in the
Balkans.
While the Germans are being
thrown back by continuous hammer
blows from the North sea to Verdun,
allied troops are overrunning Serbia
and have successfully invaded Monte
negro.
Official reports show fully two
thirds Of Serbia reoccupied, the Mon
| tenegrin town of Ipek captured. the
allies within less than sixty miles Of
Austrian soil at two points, and the
| Austrian army in Albania being rap
| idly outflanked from the north.
The entire Belgian coast appears
to have been evacuated by the Ger
| mans. The Belgians are officially re.
| ported on the outskirts OF Bruges,
| while it is reported that the enemy
has fled from Zeebrugge, the last re-
| naming German submarine base on
Belgian territory.
Bruges is only seven miles from
the Dutch border. Further south the
allies have passed Thielt and are
| within less than fifteen miles Of
Client. Across the border, in France,
| the British are officially reported on
| the outskirts Of Tourcoing and are
rapidly approaching Roubaix. Douai,
which the British had dominated for
weeks, has been entered.
The Anglo-American attack yester-
! day between Bohain and LIE Cateau
| carried them within less than a mile
of the railway center of Wassigny
and shortened the distance to the
vital enemy base of Hirson to twenty
miles. LIE Cateau was completely
cleared of Germans.
More than 5000 prisoners were
taken in these operations.
