and some time must elapse before it
would be large enough to relieve the

the terms should be such that the Ger

Marshal Foch then asked my views.
replied, in effect:
1.-The general view that an armistice
should provide guarantees against
resumption of hostilities, give the al
lies decided advantage. and be I'M
favorable TO Germany in case HOSTILE
ties should be resumed, meets with
my approval. l think that the DAM
age done by the war to the interests
of the powers with which the United
States is associated against Germany
has been so great that there should be
no tendency toward leniency.
"The present military situation is
very favorable to the allies. The Ger
man forces since the beginning of the
counter-Offensive July Is have been
constantly in retreat and have not
been able to recover since that time.
The condition of the French and Brit
ish armies can best be judged by the
fact that they have been continuously
on the offensive since then and that
they are now attacking with much
vigor.
''As to the American army, the part
il has taken in the operations since
July Is has not been inconsiderable.
1t is constantly increasing in strength
and training; its stats, its services
and its higher commanders have i'm
proved by experience. so there is ev-
cry reason to suppose that the Amer
lean army will be able to take the part
expected of it in the event of resump-
ton of hostilities. therefore propose:

Belgium within 30 days and of all
other foreign territory occupied by
Germany without delay.

CHAPTER TX Continued.

The third phase of the MeuSe-Ar-
gonne operations began October IA.
During the previous phase. important
gains had been made along the whole
front against increasing intensity of
resistance The retirement of the en-
envy in front of the allies TO the west,
which was being accelerated by our
persistent gains in the east, indicated
clearly that be was trying to save him
self from complete disaster, which it
was urgent that we should strive all
the more vigorously to hasten.
The enemy's strong defenses in the
Bots de Romagne and the Bots de
Bantheville had TO be reduced before
further considerable progress could be
made To the west of Romagne
height., we faced the strongly fortified
position which included Cote de Chat
iuOn-Laa dres-St. GeOrges-St. Juvin-
Bots des Loges and Granopre.
Our attacks on the 14th, 18th and
10th in conjunction with GOuraud's
French Fourth army met violent oppo-
sitiOn, especially at the beginning, and
although ground was often taken and
retaken several times, our lines were
steadily pushed forward.

on the 18th reached the top Of the
slopes northeast Of Romagne and
cleared the wood north Of Cunel. Ele-
ments of the division pushed through
TO the northern edge of the Bots des
Rappes, but were withdrawn.
By dint of the superior determine
ton of our troops, the enemy's lines
were broken at a vital point by the
Fifth corps.
Cote Dame Marie Taken.
Unstinted praise must be given the
Thirty-second division, which, nOtwith-
standing heavy losses, October Il bril-
liantly captured Cote Dame Marie, per-
haps the most important strong point
of the Hindenburg line on the western
front The town of Romagne and the
eastern half of Bots de Romagne were
also taken by this division on that
day, while on the following day its
line was advanced about a mile to the
southern edge of the Bots de Banthe-
vile.
The FOrty-second division fought ag-
gressively against the most obstinate
defense, forcing its way through the
western half of Beis de Romagne, its
Eighty-fourth brigade douglas Mac
Arthur) scaling the precipitous heights
Of the Cote de Chatillon and carrying
its line on beyond that position. The
desperate resistance on the left of the
division, south of st. George and Lam
dres-et-St. Georges. however, could not
be overcome
The Importance Of these operations
can hardly be overestimated. The
capture of the Romagne heights, espe-
cially its dominating feature. Cote
Dame Marie, was a decisive blow. We
now occupied the enemy's strongest
fortified position on that front and
fianked his line on the Aisne and the
heights of the Meuse Unless he could
recapture the positions we held. our
successes would compel the enemy to
retreat from his lines to the north. as
we were within heavy artillery range
of his railroad lines.

French Delay Attack.

October % was tentatively desig-

general advance, the fourth phase of
the Meuse-Argonne offensive, but the
French army. which was 20 support
our attack on the left, could not get
ready in time, so the attack of both
armies was fixed for November 1.
In accordance with my instructions
on October Is, two important preIim-
mary operations were carried out dur
ing this period. ID operations against
the Bots des Loges and Bots de Bour-
gogne TO clear the woods east of the
Aisne and north of the Aire and thus
flank that part of the hostile line on
the Asine, and (2) local operations to
secure a suitable line of departure
for the general attack.
