ABOUT THE WAR.

Douai, south of Lens, was almost
enveloped Sunday, and Cambria has
been further endangered through the
capture of the village of Aubencheuil-
Aux-Bois, five miles to the southeast,
where more than 1000 Germans were
made prisoner.
In the vicinity of Laon conflagra-

Through the operations of the

the German menace, for there they
have materially pressed back the en-
envy. Likewise eastward through
Champagne to the Argonne forest the
French and Americans have fought
their way forward in titanic struggles,
capturing numerous villages, crossing
the Aisne canal and pursuing the en-
envy along the entire fronts of the
Suippe and Arnes rivers, both of
which have been crossed at several
points.

Washington, Oct. 8.-President Will
son will reject the Teutonic plea for a
compromise peace and he will do so
as spokesman not only of the United
States, but of all the other nations
fighting the central powers. AS the
result of exchanges of opinion be-
tween the President and the heads of
the allied governments now in pro-
gress, Germany will be informed,
it is believed, that peace can be
obtained only by unconditional sur
render, and that an armistice can be
granted only upon the basis of the
evacuation of Belgium, France and all
other invaded territory
The troops of French General Ber-
thelot have delivered successful
blow against the Germans northwest
of Rheims, which adds materially to
the menace that is hanging over the
German front from the North sea to
the Swiss border. This was the cap
of the Aisne, about ten and half
miles northwest of Rheims and only
scant five miles from the eastern
end of the famous Chemin des Danes
ridge at Craonne. A further advance
northward across the railroad not
alone will put the great stronghold of
Laon in a pocket, but also will out
flank Neufchatel, another enemy
stronghold in the west.
The Turks also have suffered a Sc
rious blow in the loss to the French
of Beirut, capital of the Vilayet, Syria.
The occupation of this seaport on the
Mediterranean by French naval divi-
sion gives the allies base for the
landing of men who can operate in all
directions against the Turks over the
roads radiating from it.
Although peace talk still is in the
air, there is no peace for the German
and Austro-Hungarian armies in the
field.
Marshal Foch's armies are proceed
ing without pause in their task of
clearing Belgium and France of the
invader, and they are continuing to
meet with great successes.
Likewise, in Serbia and Albania the
Serbs and Italians are fast reclaim
ing enemy occupied territory, while, at
last reports, the British General AL
lenby in Palestine still was hard after

While further good gains have been
made by the British east of Arras,
where the operations have in view the
capture of the highly important town
OF Douai, and other advances have
been recorded between Cambria and

ent centers in the fighting in Cham
