The fall of Aieppo and the fOntsEssed advance up the TiEris are moves of such strategic value taat 1t is not unlikely Turkish opposition shortly win he entirely overcome both in the Holy Land and MesopOtamia.
 The French armies fiRh ting on the 401z-nile front between the Oise and Aisne rivers are keeping up their offensive against the Ger mans and have made additional gains, taking several villages and compelling the enemy to fall hack at various points.
 In the region southeast of Val enciennes around Le Quesnoy the Germans have delivered violent counter attacks against the British. Their efforts to throw back Field Marshal Haig's men from the posi- ti0ns they hold were Unsuccessful. and heavy casualties were inflicted on the enemy by machine gun and rifle fire.

The German government has pre- pared n reioinder to President Will son's last note in which, after again referring to the far-reaching changes which hnye been carried out and are being carried out in the German constitutional structure to which the military powers have heen made subject. 1t declares that Gerniany Is now awaiting the pro- poxnIs for an armistice.
 A London dispatch, however. In reporting the fact that Premier Lloyd George and Foreign secre- tary Ralfour had gone to Frnnce with naval and military advisers. says it ia understood authoritative Is that the allied governments will not reveal their nrmistice terms un- tiI Germany has replied to PresI- dent Wilson's last note, which it probably was expected would con thin more than the mere fact that Germapy was waiting for the terms of the arnistice.
 A crash has come In the pc rsonnel or the GcfRl0m mIkn cOAh1AMMus General LudendOrn, reputed to be the brains of the German army--the man who promised the Germnns he would crush Great Britain and France before the United States could get nnder way fin military sense-has resigned his position as first quartermaster general. and Emperor William has accepted his resignatiOn.

In the resignation of General Luden- dorff Germany loses what often has been described as her military brain
 Unknown before the war. Gen. Erich I4udendorff sprang into prominence in the fall of 1914 as chief of staff to Field Marshal Won Hindenburg. then q general, in the operations against the Russians. When Won Hindenburg was given the chief command in August. 1s16, Ludendorf was appointed first quartermaster general. but his position in reality has been chief of staff and collaborator with von Hindenburg.
 Soon after his appointment as first quartermaster general, Ludendorff be- gan to be looked upon as the real ''boss of Germany and was recognized as the representative of the pan-Germans lat great headquarters. It was Luden- dorff who brought about the retirement of Chancellor von Bethmann- Hollweg, and he was reputed to have been re- sponsible for the appointment to the ichancellorship of Michaelis and Von Hertling, both of whom were described las stop-gaps. The generals rule as first quartermaster general has almost amounted to military dictatorship.
 General Ludendorff was reported to have been the originator of the plan of the German offensive of 1918. The plan called for offensive operations on the western front which would split the British and French armies and com tpel the allies to beg for peace before the strength of the American army could be developed to any great extent Tt was reported that if the offensive failed. then Germany would resort to a diplomatic campaign in order to ob- tain peace.

The defense the Germans are making does not appear like the last stand of. an army in desperate straits, since they are able to force the French to wage winter fighting on successive lines or strongly fortified positions.
 Again today the German lines appear to be flinchng at certain points, notably in front of the First army, General Deb-i eny's men having taken Courjumeiies and INs Ferte, crossed the Peron and ad- vanced -.ward the northeast. There is nothing to indicate. however that this IS not one more of the wel-organized and successive retirements of the enemy to another position prepared in advance.
 General Mangin's troops crossed the Serre east of Assiz-SuF Serre with much opposition. and penetfated the German trenches north of the river. On the other hand, the army of Gensral Gullanmat, on the front eastward toward the Aisne, is eneountering the stronsest resistance from both the artillery and the infantry The enemy counter attacked vigorously south of Macquigny farm this morning. but was repulsed

crowning event of the victorious cam paign of General Allenby, in which he captured Jerusalem and Damascus on his way northward through Palestine and Syria. Aleppo is 1855 miles north or Damascus and 70 miles east of the Medit- erranean sea.
 At Aleppo the railway line from Con stantinople branches, one line going southward to Palestine and the other east and south to Bagdad With Aleppo in the hands of the British, the Turkish forces facing the British army in Meso- potamia are in a more or less precarious position The railroad from Aleppo has been their main source of supply, and the cutting of the line at Aleppo renders it useless to the Turks.
 An advance northward from Aleppo would cut off the Turkish forces in Ar- menia and northern Mesopot6mia an would open road over which to sea help to the Czecho- -Slovak and oher anti -bolshevik forces in Russia.

siye and the successful offensive of Marshal Foch, reports from Germany have been to the effect that General Ludendorff and Von Hindenburg were losing their popularity in Germany, both because peace did not result from the German attacks and because of ths heavy casualties suffered by the Ger mans.
 eral Ludendorff was responsible for the official statements issued from German general headquarters. He is the man who explained to the German people how the German troops during the last three months have carried out "strat- .egic withdrawals"

The crossing of Forges brook was ac- complshed in the first day of the ad- vance under a heavy fire. The brook runs through marshy lands, and in order to bridge it the engineers had to lay bundles of faggots on Doth sides of the stream. The crossing was made in rec ord time and then began the battle of the Argonne, which lasted for more than two weeks,
 MIGHTY OBSTACLES OVERCOME
 Compilations made by army officers show that of the more than l65 square miles taken from the enemy, since Sep. tember 26. almost one half were heavily wooded and machine gun-iufested The Americans had to take by storm 159 hills and high crests, most of which were heavily wooded and defended by strong machine gun attachments. Of the hills, Al were west of the Mouse and IS east of the river. The Germans also had to be driven from 430 ravines. ali defended by machine guns and nearly as hard to take as the hills.
 General Pershing's men have had to advance against the pick of the Ger- man army fighting desperately to hold this important front Their difficul ties are understood more easily when the number of hills, woods and ravines they have had to, take is considered
 STRONG NATURAL DEFENSES
 With the American Army Northwest of verdun, October 27--(By the Asso- ciated Press )-Natural positions fer oe lafise tefd By tKs c etsfs4syss sff.< the American line ,-.4re probably as strong as any along the entire battle front from Switzerland to the sea. These positionsf which the Americans are now facing3 are especially stpong, owing to the thiclSly wooded districts and series of hills and ridges. Talk ing advantage of these natural military positions the Germans have thrown in strong forces of men and brought up immense quantities of artillery of vari- ous calibre, determined to hold what has been called the eastern pivot of the defense line in France at any cost.
 ARGONNE ALL OVER AGAIN
 From the Grand Pre- pass where there has been fierce fighting for nearly two weeks, the Americans face the Bois De Bourgogae and Boise De Basse. which really are continuation of the Argonne forest Back of these great woods is the Foret De Bouit. all of which forms splendid protection for troop concentration and concealing ann intuition and heavy artillery. Here the Americans are preparing for the battle of Argonne all over again.
 German prisoners report that the Bois De Bourgogae Is literally filled with machine guns. many of them in the hills and ridges within the forest and even installed in trees. Further east the Germans have taken advan- tase of the more wooded tracts of the Bois De Barricourt and the Bois De

The Americans attacked on a front of 70 miles from the Argonne to the Mouse and the advance has been made in the face of almost insurmountable difficulty, due particularly to the nature of the ground which is covered with hills, deep ravines and woods. In addition the Americans had fronting them four or ganized systems of trenches-the Him. denburg line, the Hagen position, the Velker position and the Kriemhilde po- sition. They have forced their way through all these lines. Ahead of them lies the Freya position, which has been reached at one point in the region Of the Banthevlle wood. The advance has been particularly stubbornly resisted every foot of the way. and have used more than 8 divisions on the 20-mile front
 The enemy continues to make a for midable effort to hold this front in or der to protect his great lateral line of communication running through Hirson, Mezieres. Sedan, Mont Medy and Lon guyon. The line already is threatened, and should the Germans lose it they will lose their main line of communications from Germany into occupied France. PRISONERS AND BOOTY TAKEN
 In addition to the prisoners, General Pershings men have taken more than 137 guns of large caHber numerous ma sciiissc suns sastd alsS t-tursfs ssars, A sf@al store of ammunition and much war ma terial. including locomotives and railway cars.
 Since September 26 the Americans have fired more than 2.50oo00 shells, the num- Der at times reaching as high as 150000 daily The guns used included great number of heavy ones, and also some captured from the enemy
 American aviators and anti-aircraft guns in the period since September T, have brought down 230 enemy machines and g enemy balloons, despite adverse flying conditions and bad weather at times. Bombing airplanes dropped more that 10000 kilograms of explosives on railroad centers, troop concentrations and other points behind the enemy line. FORTY THOUSAND ENGINEERS
 From the view of the engineer the most difficult task faced has been the re- pairing of roads and the movement or supplies, men, ammunition and food to the front More than 10000 engineer troops are employed day and night re- building l-Shattered roads, using, where possible, crushed rock from the villages destroyed by the German shells.
 In the Argonne hundreds of yards of German barbed wire entanglements fas- tened from tree to tree at various heights, had to be bridged as 1t was in- possible to cut them. In addition many roads in the Argonne were of black loam which became morass in rainy weather. The engieners were compelled to virtual ly build bridges over many miles of these roads.
