C., Oct. 19.—President Wilson. has answered | the peace note of Austria-Hungary with the statement that the/ Austro-Hungarian government must satisfy the national desires ; of their own people, and that they, the people, must determine the terms of peace! The note calls attention to the tenth condition of peace enunciated by President Wilson on January 8, which says} the people of Austria-Hungary should be a¢corded the fullest op-; portunity for autonomous development. The note calls the atten- | tion of the Austro-Hungarian government to America’s recognition | of the Czecho-Slovak nation as a de-facto government and also} comments upon the tentative recognition accorded the Jugo-Slav republic. ‘\, GERMANY’S ANSWER NOT READY. Basel, Oct. 19.—Germany’s reply to President Wilson will not; be completed and dispatched for several days. It is expected the! reichstag will meet Tuesday. The grand admiral of the fleet and, chief of the naval staff have arrived in Berlin for a negotiation. It} is expected the reply will be so worded that the door to peace will) be left open. German workmen to the number of thousands have participated in peace demonstrations. On the other hand German! . political and economic associations urge stubborn resistance. H MORE PEACE PARLEY. | Copenhagen, Oct. .19.—Germany’s reply to President Wilson, | says the Politiken, will answer President Wilson’s ‘charges of Ger- - man cruelty and will declare the German submarine warfare cannot! cease until there is an armistice. The reply will not reject Presi-! dent Wilson’s demands, but will ask for further négotiations. PANIC IN BERLIN. i Paris, Oct. 19—There was another panic Thursday on the} Berlin bourse.

German engineers have been working on the line of defense running through Ghent, and along the Scheldt river and it is prob- ble the British, French and Belgians will be forced to fight hard before they can make much of an impression on this position. Al- though the Germans have lost many men, and guns, they appear to have extricated large portions of their forces from the perilous positions. Sastward toward Tournai and Valenciennes the Germans are pursned relentles h vre approaching Chereng. less than eight miles west of Tournai. A Wide Bre®ch. Southeast of Cambrai the allies have made a wide breach in the German line along the lower Selle, and the Sambre canal, and continue to fight their way eastward. The British and French war offices report the capture of more than 4,200 prisoners in the fighting here and a score of villages have been taken. On the north, the British are within tio miles of the Sambke sas canal at Chatillon. The French have taken Andigny forest, and have reached ‘the canal on a front of nearly nine miles south of the forest and on the bend of the Oise north of Noyalles, three miles cast of the railraad junction of Guise. The allied wedge | makes pockets to the north and to the south. The Germans are with.lrawing from the southern pocket with the French in close pursuit. East of Rethel, the French have reached the Aisne on a wide front, and captured Ambly-Haut. Not one of the 140 airplanes which took part in the all-Ameri- can bombing raid behind the German lines at Verdun Friday failed to return. Twelve German machines were brought down by the scouting machines protecting the bombers. YANKS LEAD ATTACK With the Allied Armies East of Cambrai, Oct. 19—Tanks manned by Americans led the assault on the German forces en- trenched on the eastern side of the Salle river yesterday. At one point the Germans delivered a counter attack and momentarily gained ground, but the tanks quickly drove the enemy out of his trenches. American engineers working under gunfire bridged the river, and then the American infantry and artillery swept across. EVACUATING BRUGES. Amsterdam, Oct. 19.—The evacuation of Bruges already has begun, according to an activist Belgian deputy. who is quoted thus by a newspaper at Rosendell on the Dutch frontier, which says the deputy himself has arrived at the border. TAKE 15.000 INHABITANTS. With the British Forces in France, Oct. 19.—During the last ‘fifteen days of their occupation of Lille, the Germans took away into captivity 15,000 inhabitants of the city. ALLIED FORCES WITHDRAW. Archangel, Northern European Russia, (Thursday) —Oct. 18. —Allied forces on the Dvina have been withdrawn a little over six miles in the face of an attack by greatly usperior forces reinforced from Petrograd and commanded by competent officers. The with- drawal was successful under a heavy bombardment. At last re- ports the Bolshevik troops were reported advancing, and the allied forces were under a heavy fire of shrapnel and pom poms. The positions abandoned by the allies were held a week against greatly superior forces. The allies operating on the Dvina and Viga rivers have been handicapped by a fall ‘of water which barred progress by gunboats at critical times KISSES DELAY RIDERS. x With Allied Armies in Belgium, Oct. 19.—Runners and dis patch riders obliged to pass through Coutrai and other towns have not been making as good time as usual. This fact came to the knowledge of a British brigadier-general who ordered a dispatch rider brought -before him. The rider blushingly acknowledged the charge was true, but he said that he and his comrades could not help the delay, for “every time we go through a town we have each been soundly kissed. It would not do for us to tell the women and girls it was not to be done. They simply ins sted upon stopping our motorcycles and kissing us en masse.” i What the brigadier-general said is not recorded, but the rider was dismissed without further reprimand. SHELLING GERMANS. With Allied Armies in France and Belgium, (Friday, 10 p. m.)—Oct. 18.—British and Amerivan troops south of Le Cateau captured 1,200 prisoners and 120 guns today and advanced about four miles. On the Belgian coast British warships are shelling retreating Germans. Bs AMERICAN PLANES HELP IN RAID. , With the Americans Northwest of Verdun, Oct. 19.—All of the planes which took part in. the all-American bombing party back of the German lines have been accounted for. While the bombing. squadron attacked the towns and villages, small scout planes attacked the troops alon gthe road with machine gun fire.
