NO RELIABLE NEWS

LONDON, Oct. 17.-Late tonight the foreign office was still without news of any German reply to President Will son or any further development in the peace situation as affection Turkey or other enemy powers. Rumors more tantalizing than reliable are still com ing from Holland. For instance the Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant, which erroneuosly announced the German re- ply, today brought alleged news of German abandonment of the policy of devastation, but a Berlin dispatch through Reuters Amsterdam corre- spondent tonight declares this an nouncement, quite baseless."
 Among the rumors was one that General Ludendorff had resigned. An other that the German reply would be protest against the tone of Pres ident Wilson's note.
 Meanwhile the attitude of the re- public is that it is a matter of little consequence what reply Germany may make. Much more interest is display ed in the question whether the Ger man army. pressed on every hand by the allied advances on all fronts will be able to escape.
