press conference yesterday. but other
officials talked informally.
The Franco-American push in the
Juvigny-Chauvigny region is OF es-
pecisl Importance because it places
US in a more advantageous position
than we had occupied about Sotssons.
This place is better protected from
the menace OF any counter offensive
action. But. even more important
the present operations permit the
allies to operate along the ridge line
running up to the Chemin des Danes,
instead Of proceeding to go up
against German positions on the line.
Operations in the north are being
closely watched, for there is an op-
portunity OF clearing OF the Germans
from France before the dead OF win
ter. provided allied successes are SUI
hciently extended.
As the western line now shapes up.
there is strong pressure in the eE-
treme north in the general vicinity
of the Drecourt-Queant switch, and
far to the south in the Rheims re-
gion. As this increases, the German
center becomes more and more un-
tennbIe. and his retirement is as
sured.
Seems Certain Now.
That he will go to the Hindenburg
line within the next week seems GER
tain. Whether he can be rooted out
of that stronghold and pressed on
back, demoralized. is something that
only the future can tell. but 1t may
be said that there is strong military
opinion that the retreat can be forced
beyond the Hindenburg defenses.

On Tuesday the Senate Finance
Committee expects to begin hearings.
This marks the real making of the

TWAS EVER THUS"
Young Archibald Smith

Young Archibald Smith
Was rosy of cheek,
Enjoyed good health,
Drew fifteen a week.
And thought it high time to be
married
He loved Daisy Brown,
Who worked in the store
And sweet Daisy drew
Just ten dollars more.
And was small enough to be carried.
Now Archibald heard.
That as cheaply as one
Two could live
And enjoy much fun,
So he popped the question to Daisy
Of course she said eyes
And the sweet little miss
Tipped on her toes
To give Archie kiss,
And this drove the poor fish half
crazy.
they went to a preacher
Who spoke few words,
Which sounded to Archie
Like song Of the birds.
Tho the poor boob tried hard not
to show it,
The kid was so happy
He wanted to rave;
The preacher had really
Made Archie a slave,
But the poor gink was too simple to
know it.
One year after this
Young Archie appeared
One day at the store
A vision most weird.
Resembling the last rose of summer
1t seemed that the stork,
On a gay jamboree,
Got mixed in addresses
And brought Archie three.
Which put the poor bow on tho
hummer.
Now, there is a moral
To this little tale;
Tho fishing for minnows,
You may catch d whale.
So It's well to consider your tackle
And if to the altar
You're preparing to sneak,
lis well to be drawing
One hundred week
Else loves bonds may turn to a
shackle.

CRUSHING Of HUN
Mayors of Towns in Favor of
Rejecting All Terms But
Unconditional Surrender

LONDON, oct. 22.-As proof Of the
futility OF German attempts to weaken
the will of the British people by peace
talk, the Daily Telegraph publishes a
series Of messages from the mayors of
more than 90 English towns, repre-
senting every phase of municipal life.
They all breathe but one spirit, name
lY, that thele must be no compromise
with the foe. These are messages from
a few of the principal towns:
"Birminghani-Germany must be re-
! quired to accept the terms imposed by
the allies and stern justice must be
melted out"
"Bladford-After what Germany has
done. there must be nc compromise. II
is absolutely essential that there should
be British supremacy Of the seas"
"cArdiif-Any compromise with Ger
must be handed over"
"Hull-1he allied troops should oc-
cupy Essen and march to Berlin"
"Blaokburn-To - bargain with the
Germans is unthinkable after the his
tory OF she past four years"
"Blackpool-The Germans asked for
a good hiding and deserve to get It."
"Canterhlry--ln no circumstances
must we make peace until every man
and woman in Germany who has been
brutal to our prisoners has been pun
ished and ~reparation given for all the
damage"
"Exeter-Let Germany surrender at
the bar of the worlds justice and re-
ceive Just sentence for her crimes and
conduct. The allies win be just, but
dare not be generous"
~"Hythe-ln this town no compro-
mise is nailed on our mast"
