{President Wilson has answered Germany's
latest note regarding peace.
In brief, he informs Germany that the
only armistiice he would feel justiifiefl i
in submitting for consideration to the ;
1 ' allied governments would be one'
which wouici put tne n-.-mi.eu iota?,*=*.
and the allied powers in position to'
enforce any arrangements that may '
be entered into and to make a renew-j

To this end the president nas iraua-j
rciitted his correspondence with the
present German authorities to the allied
powers.
"Not peace negotiations, but sur.j

The allied armies in France and

(Particularly vicious fighting is in1

where the Americans in their endeavors
to overcome the natural obstacles j
barring the way northward to Sedan,
are faced by picked troops with orders
to hold them back at all costs; in the
region from Le Cateau to the north o?
Valenciennes where the British and
some Americans gradually are tearing

Tournai and Audenarde, where
the British also are hard after the
B enemy.
Notwithstanding the frantic endeav
rors of the enemy to maintain their
positions on all three of these sectors,
material progress1" has been made, j
Likewise, north of 'Laon the French ;
on an eight mile frdnt have delivered
a thrust chat carried them forward
from two to three miles. Into the ;
hands of the British have fallen 2,000 j
more Germans while the Americans j
west of the 'Meuse also have gathered .
