is large three-story house, with
walls two feet thick, heavy iron

Monuments of the War-Reims.
Aside from the general ruin through

most outstanding, is the cathedral at

GERMANY SCENTED DISASTER.
Hurried 10 Hequsst Arn,isties When
Foeh's Plans Became Known.

Paris, Jan 7.-Germany hurried to
request an armistice when she saw that
a new allied Offensive was to be
launched on The Lorraine front on Nov.
l. by 100000 T7an under command Of
General de Castelnau, says the EH-
celsior.
Italians were concentrated on the
front between Briey and Chateau
Salins, it was said. They were sup
ported by 200 guns % all calibers.
and had 500 tanks available on 4
front of about forty-hvc miles. Duke
Albrecht. Of Wurttemburg. the German
commander on this froat had avail
able only twenty-five divisions of in
ferior lighting quality. These divisions
contained approximately 10000 men.
He had only 900 guns.
This allied attack, the Excelsior con-
tinues,- would have carried the war
into annexed Lorraine and into Rhen-
ish Prussia, threatening to cut off the
German army in Belgium and in the
Ardennes from its bases.
German general headquarters. real
izng that the divisions on other Sec
tors were exhausted and that its forces
were demoralized and worn out, avert
ed catastrophe by pleading for an
armistice. The Excelsior concludes:
The success of the offensive was
assured, but it could not have made
victory more complete than it already
was because Germany accepted all
our conditions. Marshal Foch deemed
it useless to cause further shedding
Of blood and consented to stop hosti-
Titles. although Germany was then in
q desperate plight"
