SHOWS NEED OF
 CONTRIBUTION TO CZECH ARMY FUND
Chairman Ambrose Ex- plains Why American Peo-
 ole Are Asked to Give.

The following statement was made last night by A. S. Ambrose, president of the Czecho-Slovak War Fund committee:
 Several workers have been told that the matter of funds for the Czec1 1oSlovak War Fund is not the concern of American people but only of Czecho- -Slovaks themselves. Such a statement can come only from peo- pie who are perhaps not we'll versed with the situation.
 "In the first place, every Allied ma ton cause whether 1t be England, France or Italy is matter of concern of the United States. Victory for one is victory for each and all. My two sons fighting on the west ern front with Uncle Sans boys, are fighting as much for the United States as they are for Italy; Czecho-Slovak boys in Russia are fighting for France as much as the Serbian warriors are bleeding for Belgium or vice versa. "If the Czecho-Slovaks will reor- ganize the Eastern front and get two or more millions of Russians into ac- | ton, and that they will, in that event not only will this war end sooner but the United States will need SC many men less on the Western front It seems that some people do not real ize that the Czecho-Slovak army is the only army today that can make Russia come back and by so doing they will save many lives of American sons.
 Tt is very plain to me that had Russia remained in this war. as sht was in 1915 and 1916. this war would have ended with one-half the number of the American boys today at tht westerT front and perhaps my boys lives or some other boys lives would have been saved.
 What Russia failed to do we mus do now and what is more we vii have to give two soldiers for ever. soldier that Russia had at the easterl front, for the prisoners that were il Russia are now back in Germany.
 If there is any one that question my Americanism, I would like to SC him straight by stating that I am a much an American in this drive as was in any other drives or work tha I have done for the past three year: and I hope that good people 0 | Brtdgeport will not misunderstan the work that is being done by tn committee for the noble cause con corning not the Czecho- -Slovaks alon but Americans as we'll"

Armistice Will Mean Foes Surrender
WILSON HAS TIED
MAX AND PASSED
HIM ON TO FOCH

NEW YORK, Oct. 24-President Will
son has tied Prince Macmillan hand
and foot and passed him over to Marshal
Foch for judgment.
The new German chancellor put into
Office by the kaiser to challenge America
TO a peace offensive has been as igno-
miniously defeated by the pen as Won
Hindenburg by the sword. Attempting
to overmatch President Wilson at note
writing has proven a costly failure. The
German government now stands reveal
ed before the German people as unable
to negotiate a peace that can save any
part Of Germany's military machine.
An understanding of this fact is alb
soluteiy necessary on the part OF the
German people before a safe peace is
possible. The American answer to
Prince Macmillan means the German
nation must itself become civilization 5
hostage for righting the wrong tnat
is the basic result of the epistolary ex-
changes between Berlin and Washing-
ton.
The German nations responsibility
fixed. That is why Germany will not
be permitted to enter a peace confer
ence until Marshal Foch and the allies
naval advisers have imposed conditions
that will differ in no respect from I'M
conditional surrender.
The only way the German people can
save any part of the wreck of their
fortunes is by overthrowing kaiserlsm
OF their own will and power. To the
present there has been no democratic
movement in Germany, because the
tentative reforms have been staged by
the kaiser from above and have not been
made secure by popular uprisings. In
stead of demanding their full democratic
prerogatives the German people are
waiting to take as few rights as the
kaiser thinks safe to give them in the
interest of saving the HohenZollern dy-
nasty.
No democracy was ever permanently
founded on voluntary gifts Of freedom
from an absolutst monarch. If the
people themselves do not make secure
their charter of human rights by their
own majestic might, they may lose over
night what they have not participated
in creating.
Since under any conditions OF peace
the German nation must first disarm
there will be better terms if the disarm-
ing is done by a self-democratized ma
ton. The longer the process takes, how
ever. the more drastic will be the peace
conditions. The kind of peace the
American people intend to demand will
depend on the extent of the sacrifices
they are called upon TO endure.
The attitude of the American democ-
racy during the period of note writing
by Prince Macmillan demonstrates be-
yond doubt that if Germany tries to
fight il out to the end it will be the end
of Germany.

GERMANS HOLD'TO
VALENCIENNES BY
FLOODING COUNTRY

WITH THE ALLIED ARMIES IN
FRANCE AND BELGIUM Wednesday,
Oct. 23.-(By the Associated Press >
British troops have reached virtually
tho whole canal bank northeast of Val
enciennes. The Germans have broken
down the banks and opened the sluice
gates northeast and southwest of the
city and have flooded vast stretches of
the country in an effort to delay the
British advance. The marshy lowlands
on the east side of the canal opposite
the Raisnes forest resembles a great
lake. 1t is not probable that the city
can be approached from the southwest
because of similar flooded conditions.
The British, however, have fought
their way into the city from the west
and there have been sharp encounters
in the streets between patrols. Fire
from the German artillery has been
generally weak, it being strong only on
villages and towns in this vicinity
Many civilians are still in these places
Heavy shells dropped with regularity
for several hours today in Denain,
which is full of civilians. Without
doubt many were killed and wounded
and the same condition is probably
true in other towns.
NalencienneS still contains many
civilians.

AMERICANS AGAIN
ASSUME OFFENSIVE
ON WHOLE FRONT
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES IN

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES IN
FRANCE, Oct. 23.-(Night. 1.-The
Americans. after repulsing' series of
heavy counter attacks, have again as
sumed the offensive on the whole front
between the Grand Pre- and the Mouse.
In a number of closely allied local
operations they have occupied several
positions which were temporarily ceded
to the Germans. These advances have
again carried them north of Grand Pre-,
Bantheville and Breiulles. Two new
enemy divisions have been thrown into
this front and there are now more than
80 German divisions opposing the Amer
leans.
Reports have been received indicating
that the German artillery fire on the
entire west front has reached the low
est mark since the first few months of
the war. British, French and Ameri-
cans declare there is remarkable pre-
ponderance of rife and machine gun
wounds over shell wounds.
The former injuries are light in the
majority of cases and permit an early
return of the casualties to the line.
On the other hand, the Boches are
suffering heavily from artillery fire and
their losses greatly exceed those of the
allies in normal defensive fighting.
These conditions, coupled with their
lowering morale, which is inevitable in
view of their peace drive, add to the ex-
plantations of the German desire for an
