PEACE AT PRESENT
I
ATROCITIE8 ON* LAND AND 8EA
MUST FIRST BE PUT TO
AN END.
MEETS APPROVAL OF SENATE
8enator Lodge, Chief Critic of the
President, Expresses Great Gratification
at Decision.
Washington.?President Wilson has
answered Germany's peace proposal
witii a decision which not only fulfills
the expectations of supporters of his
diplomacy, but also dispels the fears
of those who predicted that he would
substitute victories at arms with defeats
at diplomacy.
-No peace with kaiserism! Autocracy
munt go! No armistice can even bo
thought of while Germany continues
her atrocities on land und sea; one
cannot be considered unless it is fully
dictated by the allied commanders
In the Held in such terms as absolutely
provided safeguards and guarantees
that Germany's part will not be a
scrap of paper.
Tbis is in a few words is the president's
answer.
If it docR not bring a capitulation
which may be more than unconditonnl
surrounder, allied tflplomats und American
officials believe it may cause a
revolution in Germany.
The dispatch of the president's reply
was followed by the Issue of this
formal statement at the White House
by Secretary Tumulty:
".The government will continue to
send over 250,000 men with their supplies
every month and there will be
no relaxation of any kind."
Quite outside of the 'formal phrases
of a diplomatic document that was
President Wilson's word to the world
that he had no thought of slopping tlio
fighting at this stage.
The senate chamber rang with applause
of senators as the pr< ident's
answer was read a few minutes after
ft had been announced at the state
department. Senator
President's chief critic, issued a statement
expressing his gratification at
the president's decision. Opinion at
the capltol and throughout official
Washington was unanimously in approval.

SOLEMN WARNING ISSUED
IN CONNECTION WITH LOAN
Washington.?President Wilson Issued
this statement on the fourth Lib?
erty loan:
' The reply of the German government
gives occasion for me >o say to
my fellow oounlryraenf that neither
that reply nor any other recent events
have in any way diminished the vital
importance of the Liberty loan*. Relaxation
now. hesitation now. would
mean defeat when victory seems to
be in sight."
SIMMONS SAYS PRESIDENT
HAS SCORED ANOTHER HIT
Washington.?President Wilson has
made another hit in reply to Germany.
"The President is following the wise
course in dealing with the German
governmTit." said Senator Simmons

dictate the terms of an armistice.
1 had no idea the President would
agree to any peace parley with the
present German rulers. He demands

HUGE SACK IS BEING FORMED;
I i
|
OUR ARMIES ArtC STEADILY
PRESSING GERMANS BACK
TOWARDS THEIR BORDER.
Americans Have Almost Wiped Out;
Argonne Forest as an Enemy
Position of Defense.
j
The men of the once formdiable
J German ariueis holding the Hinden-|
i burn line from north of Cantbrai to
1 St. Quentin are facing eastward, dc- j
I feated and in retreat.
Their backs are the targets for the
! Hrtiish. American and French troops
who bitterly fought hem, step by step,
out of supposedly impregnable defenses
and now nre harrying theni
across the open country toward the
German border. Nowhere is the enemy
attempting a stand in force,
j True, the German border is yet u
! long distance away, but the past two
days of chas<* have materially decreased
the width of the area separating
the invaders from their own Rhine
line.
LeCafeau. the important junction
point 12 milea southeast of Cambrai,
represented the point of deepest penetration
by the allied troops. The British
were the masters of it. All along
the front, however, the Hrtiish. American
and French have been steadily
pressing forward their infantry forces,
aking numerous towns and villages,
while far in advance of them the
hoof-beats of the ravntrv Imranu ! ????
mingled with the roars of the whippet
tanks and the staccato barking of the
machine guns inside the movin;; forts.
Meantime the French and American
armies on that part of the line
running from northwest of Kheitns to
the Meuse river are still pressing forward
in the converging movement
with the armies in the west and gradually
are forming the entire war theater
into a huge sack. The Americans
continue slowly to advance up the
| eastern side of the Meuse. while west
j of the river, in conjunction with the
| operations of the French, they have
j all but obliterated the great Argonne
. forest as an enemy defense postiion.
CAROLINA AND TENNESSEE

! overcoming tf?nly slight opposition
j They then went forward,
j The Rritish wer* well to the east
of Monnechy and Trotsviller.
Northeast of Cambrai. additional {
important gains have been made. The ;

; hard opposiiqn with their rear guards, j
1 Hu this may break at any time as it
j did to the southeast of Cambrai.
?
TO PREVENT TURKEY FROM
SEEKING SEPARATE PEACE.
Rome.?The impression in Italian j
diplomatic circles is that one of the
principal reasons for the German and
Austrian movement in the direction of
peace was to prevent Turkey from
seeking; a separate peace. Turkey was
told it is understood that following the i
new German chancellor's speech and I
armistice proposals that there would |
be formed in all entente countries, and
j especially in America, peace parties.
FIRST GREAT AIR RAID IS
MADE BY AMERICAN AIRMEN
Washington -Word of the first great
American air raid against the German
camps north of Verdun sent a
thrill through war department officials
although no official repeat had
been received to furnish details of the
exploit. So fur as could be learned,
however, the participation of .150 machines
in this one enterprise murks it'
as the greatest air offensive yet un- [
dertaken ~n the western front in point,
of the air forces employed.

1 PEACE TERMS ARE
ACCEPTED BT FOE
ANSWER IS APPARENTLY FAIR
BUT SNAP JUDGMENT SHOULD
NOT BE TAKEN.
GREAT DANGER POINTED OUT
This Latest Turn in Events May
Cause Slowing Up on Sales of
Liberty Bonds.
Washington.?Germany's reply to
President Wilson's inquiry, intercepted
as It was being sent by the great
wireless towers at N'auen and forwarded
here in an official dispatch
from France, declares Germany is
ready to accept President Wilson's
peace terms, evaluate the invaded territory
as a prerequisite to an armistice
and that the bid for peace represents
the German people as well as
the government.
Although on its face the text of the
German note seems to he a complete
acceptance of President Wilson's
terms, the peope of the United States
and the allied countries should he cautioned
against accepting it as such a
compliance of the president's demands
as will mean immediate cessation of
hostilities.
As President Wilson was in Now '
York and reserved comment on the,
note, his views cannot be stated now j
and none of his official family here
in Washington cared to speak for him.
Should President Wilson finally decide
that there is enough sincerity
in Germany's proposition to transmit
i? to the allies, as the German chancellor
requested, it should be borne
in mind that Great Hritain. France I
| and the other entente nations must he '
| taken into considernion for decision :
as to whether an armistice should :
he granted or whether discussion j
I should he undertaken to carry out the
I details of the application of President
; Wilson's peace terms.
The greatest danger facing the people
of the United States, officials suid
: here, was that they might hastily consider
Germany's proposition as the
unconditional-surrender which the cobelligerents
demand nd relax their efforts
to continue the victories at arms
and carry over the fourth Liberty'
loan. On every side in official quarters !
j it was stated fha this view of the situ:
ation could not he placed before the
i public too srongly.

SECRETARY OF WAR BAKER \
SAYS LOAN MUST BE TAKEN
j Washington.?Secretary Baker re-!
j the message that the Liberty loan
i must go over the top" whatever the
: result of peace proposals.
I This was the only comment the
; secretary would make in the peace,
I overtures. His own explanation of
I his trip shows that it was taken to,
j pave the way for war on a greater1;
j scale.
"The army has done and is doing i
all that a proud and grateful couni
try could ask," Mr. Baker said on
j reaching Washington. "And the time
; has conie for us to put in every ounce j
: of our strength to assure its complete j
j victory. The people at home have a ,
! solemn responsibility for their share i
i in the final Result.
1 "The Liberty loan must go over the
| top! Its success is both our message
! of gratitude to the hoys who are bruv- |
ing war's worst perils in defense o: j
I our liberties and a message to Her-;
many that our people at home are as
resolute as our soldiers are brave.
"Whatever the result of the peace !
proposals, the war department must
proceed at full speed with men and .
supplies, and the people must sup- !
port the army until the boys are
hack with the fruits of victory safe
and assured. If every American could
have seen our hoys in khaki as they
stormed the Herman trenches, assail
ed shrapnel, high explosives and machine
guns, he would he eager to sub- '
scribe his all to the Liberty loan, the '
success of which after all Is the meas- ;
tire of our support of the cause.
PROBABLY 500 ARE DEAD AND

that an nnswer to the three pertinent

FOE STILL FLEEING FROM

On the wings of necessity the Germans
arc flying eastward from their
old battle positions from Doui ato LaFere

some haven of safety from the
talons of the allied hawks which
everywhere are menacing them.

the peace feelcis in the air. President
Wilson, Secretary of State I*ansinR.
Secretary of Treasury McAdoo and in
fact, all of tlie high officials of the

citizenry that the situation is still
critical and that everyone .should rally
to the support of the fourth loan.
BRUTES THEY WERE WHEN WAR
BEGAN, BRUTES NOW THEY ARE
London. A. J. Balfour, the British
foreign secretary, speaking at a luncheon
given to a party of American editors.
said:
"We have to make a right peace
and I do not think a right peace is a
very easy thing to make. Our enemies
are attempting to change their constitution
hut appear to have no notion
that what we call a change is not
so much a change in the formal purpose
of the governmnt as a change
of hearts whereby that government is
to he directed and animated."
Mr. Balfour said the Germans had
shown no material improvement in
their dispostion during the four years
of the war. , "Brutes
they were when they began
the war. As far as I can Judge, brutes
they remain at the present moment."
"One would have thought." continued
Mr. Balfour, "that those who
brought in America to their own undoing
by crimes of this sort would
have shrunk a little from repeating
them at the moment when their fate
is to be decided by America, perhaps
even more?than by any other of tho
co-belligerents."
