Wilson replied October IA In severe
language. According to House, he be-
lieved that IF Germany was beaten, she
would accept any terms If she was not
beaten, he did not wish to make terms
with her" This note did not call for
unconditional surrender" but it caused

lin for his advice, asked for military re-
Inducements.
Before accepting the conditions of
this note, which are too severe" he told
the government, I'VE should say to the
enemy: Win such terms by fighting for
them - believe now as before, that
If it's in any way possible, we must bring
about negotiations for an armistice But
we should only enter upon such armistice
negotiations as will permit an orderly
evacuation of the country-consequent
a respite of at least two or three months.
Further, we should not accept any con-
ditions that would appear to make the
resumption of hostuities impossible That
this is the intention, we cannot fail TO

to put us out Of the fight ""' We should
not break off with Wilson too abruptly.
On the contrary, say: Just tell us, what
are we to do anyway? II you demand
anything that is contrary to our national
honor, if you want to render us incapable

ly No.
Leaders Opposed Yielding.
Won Hindenberg added his opposition
to that of Ludendorff's. BY telephone
he told the new chancellor:

Admiral Scheer also opposed yielding
to the President.
Ludendorf was confident that he could
hold the western front if given 10000
reinforcements month. He had made
the same plea on October 8, but, after
four years of war, Germany was unable
to find more men. The idea of "levee

Balkan Front

Yugoslavian guerrilla forces, though
they perhaps warrant more dignified
designation by this time, have struck Is
miles into Northeastern Italy and were
reported fighting in the streets of Trieste
and to be threatening Fiume, both i'm
portant ports on the north coast of the
Adriatic. Hundreds of Italians were re-
ported fighting with the Yugoslavs against
the Nazis
All along 40O-mile stretch of the
eastern shore of the sea fighting is
going on in increasing intensity.
AS early as Monday a large Allied
naval force was reported to be steam
ing up the Aegean Sea in what was
believed to be the preliminary step in
Balkan invasion. Tuesday the British
cast some light on the progress when it
was revealed that the Dodecanese Is
lands of Coo, Lero and Samos had been
occupied. Coo lies about so miles north
west of the large island of Rhodes now
held by the Nazis.
Allied aircraft were active during the
week pounding Rhodes, Crete and Athens.
where the German airfields were the
principal targets.
With the belief that an invasion of
the Balkans is certain, there also has
grown an expectation that the invasion
cannot come before spring. However,
peace trends were increasingly strong

the Nazis to send more troops (15 divi-

Pacific Front

The gratifying announcement that
naval aircraft had blasted the island
of Tarawa in the Gilberts and Nauru,
west of the Gilberts was made by Ad-
miral Nimitz Monday The raid actu-
ally occurred Saturday night and Sunday
morning with the planes taking their
time and indicating by so doing that
the enemy was powerless to retaliate,
although the Japs claimed that out of
200 American planes in the raids, 20
were shot down. 1t is believed
that the destruction on the two islands
was thorough. Later it was added that
Maxim Island and Apamama also were
raided.
In the New Guinea and Solomons
areas important advances were made
when Australians, landing above
Finschhaven, quickly captured the
ports airfield and moved within less
than mile of the city itself while in
the area under Admiral Halsey's COM
mand, all Japs on Arundel Island were
killed and artillery was moved up within
range Of Villa on nearby Kolombangara
Island. Otherwise the southwest
Pacific was relatively quiet.
Over in Burma there was considerable
air activity as the Allies soften the
Japs for the drive which is soon to
come under Lord Mountbatten.

European Front

Allied bombers continued the softening
OF Germany and the occupied countries
along the invasion coast, although the
tempo Of attack was somewhat slowed
over the spectacular raids of recent
months.
Some indication of the problem of
continued daily raids was given in a
statement to the House of Commons
by British Air Minister Sir Archibald
Sinclair who declared that in eight
months ending on August 81, the Allies
had lost 2,098 bombers over Europe. OF
these 1851 were British In August alone
406 planes were lost.
American and British bombers started
the week with heavy sweep over Nazi
airfields and industrial targets In France
and Holland. Lille, Merville, Woens-
drecht and Bethune were bombed. We'd
nesday the German industrial city of
Hanover, often bombed in the past, had
another taste of it. Tremendous fires
were left in the CITY, which is railway
and industrial center. Twenty-six Brit
ish bombers were lost in the attack.
American Flying Fortresses followed
with raid on the naval base at Nantes
and adjacent airfields.
Thursday night Mannheim Ludwig
shaven, the twin cities at the junction
of the Rhine and Nekar, were plastered
by 1900 long tens of bombs and DARN

Russian Front

All along the Russian front from
Smolensk TOO miles southwark to the
shores of the Sea of Azov, the Nazis were
in retreat last week until, as the week
closed, Smolensk, key rail point close to
the border of White Russia, was aban-
doned by the Nazis, Kiev was within ar
tillery range and Dnepropetrovsk. loca-
ton OF Russias greatest power dam
which was destroyed before it fell into
German hands, was in imminent danger
Of capture.
Down in the Kuban area the Germans
are trying desperately to get out of the
brideghead which they had established
on the Black Sea In the Inflated effort
to capture Russia's oil fields. Anapa, last
port in German hands, was seized Thurs
day and with its seizure, coupled with
the steady advance along the shores of
the Sea of AZov, developed a threat to
capture all Germans now in the Crimea
Shortly it will be determined wheth-
er the Nazis can make stand on the
Dnieper front or if they will be forced
to fall all the way back to the Dniester
or even the Prut River. The Nazis have
claimed that the present retreat is
orderly and according to plan to shorten
the lines and make future defensive
phases of the war more easily sup
ported 1t will also be determined
whether the Nazi high command, know
ing now that it cannot win the war, will
evacuate all Russian territory and then
seek a separate peace with Stain in
order to concentrate against the other
Allies, proposal which Stain has
given no indication he would entertain
so long as Hitler and Naziism rule
Germany.
Moving forward under command of
Gen. Andrei Yeremenko hero of the
defense of Stalingrad, Red troops Mon
day broke through the outer defenses
of Smolensk, 80 miles beyond paving
the way for the evacuation of the key
city to the approach to Poland and the
Baltic states which came Friday night.
Tuesday the German winter defense

But they are extremely anxious lest the
feeling that the Nazis are through should
become widespread.
The Germans still have a tremendous
punch and unless some change occurs
in the hearts of those at home, we have
extremely difficult and disappointing
times ahead.
Peace by Christmas, as result of the
collapse of the Germans, is being ruled
out. OF course, political considerations,
tiated with Russia by a non-Hitler gov
ernment, are something else and have
no room in the plans of the Allied
strategists.
The situation in the Pacific is less
spectacular. We receive reports of
American victories in New
Guinea and in the islands Of the Bis
marck archipelago. We hear of daring
raids against the Japanese inundated is
lands. We are told of the heavy cas-
ualties our submarines are inf1icting on
the japanese merchant marine and
navy. We hear about the campaign Lord
Mountbatten is planning to open up the
Burma road.
All are extremely gratifying. But for
the time being we are reconquering with
great effort territories which Tokio's
forces took over without heavy cost.
But all these movements do not mean
that large-scale offensive against the
Japs is on the way.
Gen. Macarthur has done remarkably
we'll with very limited ground force.
The number of shock troops at his dis
posal is a military secret. But we must
not expect too much from him because
he does not have the force required for
large-scale operations against territories
strongly defended and powerfully held
by the japanese. 1t would take mill
tary force about 10 times as large to
make a real dent in the enemy in the
Southwest Pacific.
Of course, Admiral William F. Halsey.
jr., has powerful fleet under his COM
mand. His naval force, the best we
have, is of utmost use, but alone it can
only harass the japanese without defeat
ing them. 1t may raid some of the Jap's
key bases in the mid-Pacifc. 1t may
even stage raids farther west. But it
cannot break the japanese power. In
order to do that the American command
ers must have combined air, ground
and naval force working together. For
the time being they do not have it.
The defensive period in the Pacific
has ended. We have assumed the Of
fensive all along that great front. But
we are not yet in such a position that
we can afford to tackle the japanese
seriously except on the periphery of the
defenses guarding their old and new
empires.

of punishment from him in the other

scattered them so fast and completely

stretch of water.
About year before we jumped into
this global war, I got another impress
sion of this man when it was my fortune
to paint life-size portrait of him. It
was not possible for the admiral to
devote as much time as needed to posing
SO young marine whose dimensions
approximated the admirars volunteered
as stand-in and donned his uniform.
At certain stages of the work it wasn't
necessary for the admiral to be on hand
anyway.
One morning while I worked, the
marine stood completely relaxed, thor
oughly enjoying his new experience.
Suddenly he snapped to attention. I
glanced around and saw the admiral
enter the room. Sensing the boys un-
easiness, Admiral Stark strobe up to him,
put his hand on the youths shoulder
and said, How does it feel to be a
temporary admiral, son? Now just
relax"
The incident revealed the admiral in
his true colors but can be fully appre-
ciated only If you are familiar with
naval seniority relationship and its at
tendant attitudes. In short, while

Born down in the landlocked coal

Italian Front

considerable progress was made in the
fighting on the Italian front and at least
two important stepping stones for fu-
ture operations by the Allies were seized
with the capture of Sardinia, which was
evacuated by the Germans the first of
the week, and Corsica, which was over
run by a combined French army and
Italians who joined in the drive against
the NaziS whose escape to the mainland
was being hampered by heavy air and
artillery attack.
From these two islands flanking beach,
heads can be sought far up the coast of
Italy and the Riviera and the Rhone
Delta of France are brought temptingly
near. Corsica, especially, provides a
number of airfields, the value of which
shortly will become apparent. =
AS early as Monday, 1t Gen. Mark
Clarks American 5th Army had seized
control of the Bay of Naples by captur-
ing all the heights of the Sorrento Penin-
sula which dominates the harbor. Oc-
cupancy of the islands of Capri, Ischia
and Procida off the mouth of the bay

the city was started at once by the
Germans. Ships were scuttled in all the
berths in the harbor and all other harbor
facilities were blown up in order to
slow the Allies in their efforts to en-
ploy Naples as main base for further
ingtcampaigning northward.
Gen. Badoglio, in a statement Mon
day over the radio, called upon all Italian
troops to join the fighting on the side
OF the Allies and his plea found a quick
response on Corsica where some 10000
troops and many others in the civilian
population joined the French.
Throwing everything into full-scale
drive, Gen. Clark moved his lines to
Olveto-Citra, "a miles east of Salerno,
from where it curved around to the
Sorrento hills.
Because of the weight of the American
attack, the Nazis were forced to con-
centrate most of their strength in that
area and the British 9th, under L. Gen.

trenches. As at present, there was talk
about tranfer of several divisions from
the eastern to the western front, and it
was debated whether Germany could
afford to give up the Ukraine and its
sorely-needed food supplies.
Prince Max decided to accept the
Wilsonian terms, telling Ludendorff that
If they were not accepted the Allies
could invade Germany and lay waste to
the whole country.
Thus was the ground prepared for the
armistice, but between that time and
November II Turkey surrendered on
board the British ship Agamennon on
October 80, Austria Hungary made
separate peace on November 3, there was
mutiny among the German sailors at
Kiel November and by November 7
Northwestern Germany was in the hands
OF revolutionists and the Communist
leader Eisner had proclaimed Bavaria
republic. BY November 9 the revolution
had reached Berlin, and the question was
whether the anarchist Bolshevist groups,
WHICH had started the revolution, would
be able to organize a government of
workers and soldiers councils" along
Soviet lines, or the Social Democrats
would have sufficient influence to set I'D
constituent assembly on constitutional
lines.
Compared With Italy.
The surrenders of Bulgaria, Turkey
and Austria have been compared with
the recent unconditional surrender of
Italy. Better terms were given Austria
than were offered Germany, but Clemen-
ceau observed:
I'VE have left the breeches of the
Emperor and nothing else"
House quotes Lloyd George as saying
that "as soon as Austria is out, Germany
will capitulate at once"
Political conditions inside Germany.
such as we know them, are far different
than they were in 1918. The press, though
censored and curbed, retained consider
able freedom of expression on political
issues; trade unions were strong; political
parties, especially those with socialistic
tenets, were allowed to meet and issue
propaganda. There was no Himmler, and
no machine guns at strategic street in
tersections to be turned on a rebellious
populace; no indoctrination of the young
people. beginning at the cradle, and no

stage in life and has never lost that
enthusiasm. A graduate of Annapolis,
he received his commission in the Navy
in 1905 and married Katharine Adele
Rhoads two years later.
Since 1914 no other Navy mans efforts
have been more high-hghted nor more
productive. He was on the staff of Ad-
miral Simms, commanding United States
Forces in European waters, during
World War I, and thrilled at receiving
the rank Of admiral in 1899.
Most any big corporation would like
to have Admiral Stark on its sales staff.
He would be salesmanager in no time
Probably his greatest task and con-
tribution to the country was selling Con-
gress and American citizens on the
largest naval expansion program in
peacetime history. How glad we were

ments. The Admiral had to stir up a

He Is medium built man with pow
erful body and distinguished head. His
ruddy complexion is complemented by a
shock of steel gray hair, clear blue eyes
and strong determined chin.
I found him a combination of student
and man of action, a strict detailist
with keen ability to envision problems
in their larger dimensions before most
other folks get the point. When skip
per aboard ship, he personally inter-
viewed every new member of his crew.
He felt all his men aboard were like
one big family. He never permits his
official status to dampen his sense of

an experience not soon forgotten. Ever
