Enemy resistance here has been broken to a point of demoralization and the Americans are pushing northward toward Stenay. By. this afternoon the enemy was in full retreat northwards. He was offering little opposition and the roads toward the north seem to be full of the fleeing enemy. The Americans pressed close upon the heels of the Germans and made retirement as difficult as possible. The American casualties were light despite opposition to crossing of the river.

London, (via Montreal) Nov. 5.—The allies have decided that. Ger- many must apply to Marshal Foch, the allied commander in chief, for an armistice, Premier Lloyd George declared in parliament today. ; W ashington, Nov. 5.—Diplomats and officials here believe the terms of armistice for Germany signed for the United States and allies at Paris yesterday are in the hands of General Foch for presentation to the Ger- man commanders on the western front. There has béen no.official explanation of the method determined upon of acquainting the Germans with the surrender conditions under which they may end the war. : Until today it had been assumed that the terms would be sent to Germany through diplomatic channels, but the almost unanimous opin- ion is that the matter will be handled almost entirely on the field by the allied commander. Whatever may be the channels of communication it is evident that no time has been lost and that an immediate reply is a possibility. The text of the armistice terms had not been received when ar- rangements had been made for the usual cabinet meeting. The presi- dent and his advisers. were fully informed, however, before the docu- ment was signed. RESTS WITH GERMANY | The issue of peace or war rests with Germany.
