PRICE TWO CENTS REVERSES ARE PILING 0P AGAINST CENTRAL POWERS All Along the Front From Rheims to the Meuse, a Distancé of More Than Fifty Miles, the Americans and French . are Pressing the Germans Back Step by Step—No- where is There Rest For the German and Austro-Hun- ¥ garian Armies in the Field—French Have Captured Beirut, Capital of the Vilayet of Syria. (By The Associated Press.) The troops of the French General Berthelot have delivered a successful blow against the Germans northwest of Rheims which adds materially to the menace, that is hanging over the German front from the North sea to the Swiss border. This was the. cap- ture of Berry au Bac, on the north side of the Aisne, about ten and a half miles northwest of Rheims and only a scant five miles from the eastern end of the famous Chemin des Dames ridge at Craonne. A further advance north- ward across the railroad not alone will put the great stronghoid of Laon in a pocket but alse will outflank Neufcha- tel, another enemy stronghold, on the west. The Turks also have suffered a seri- ous blow in the loss to the krei f Beirut, capital of the vilayet of Syria The occupation of this seaport on the Mediterranean by a French naval di- vision gives the allies a base for the landing of men who can operate in all directions against the Turks over the roads radiating from it. Although peace talk still is in the air, there is no peace for the German and Austro-Hungarian armies in the field. While attempts are being made in “well informed circles” in Germany and Austria-Hungary to show that the latest peace proposals of the cen- tral powers are honest expressions of a desire for a “just peace,” Marshal Foch's armies are proceeding without pause in their iask of clearing Bel gium and France of the invader. And they are continuing to meet with great successes. Likewise in Serbia and Albania, the Serbs ang Italians are fast reclaiming enemy-occupied territory, while at last reports th: British General Allenby in Palestine still was hard after the retreating Turks.

All along the front from Rheims to the Meuse, a distance of more than fifty miles, the enemy everywhere has met with serious reversés.and is fall- ing back under the heavy pressure that is being imposed against him. at some places in disorder. Where the enemy is trying to resist, the French and Americans are meeting their counter-thrusts with splendid stamina and gradually forcing them to give ground step by ‘step. 3 Cast of the Argonne forest, between that great wooded bastion and the Meuse, the Americans have further ad- vanced their line, notwithstanding the fact that the enemy has thrown in largq reinforcements ‘to hinder the blotting out of the forest and the forming of a junction by way of the Aire valley between the Americans and the French troops on its western side. In the latest fighting the Americans drove the Germans out of Chatel Chi hery, northwest of Apremont, and ob- tained command of the heights west of the Aire. The latest German officia! communication reports that the Amer- icans Monday evening began a new attack in this region. Taken altogether, the entire south- ern front of the Germans seems to be in a rather serious situation from La Iere to the north of Verdun. Laon, the great storehouse of the, Germans northeast of Soissons, is reported to be on fire, indicating the possibility of an early falling back; the Chemin des Dhmes defenses are outflanked at both ends; Rheims has been restored and the Germans pushed back more than ten miles north of it, while east- ward General Gouraud's armies and the Americon First army are brilliant- ly carrying out their part of the great converging movement that seemihgly at no far distant date will force the enemy materially to readjust his line. A further indication of the troublous times in the German army is the re- port that Field Marshal Von Hinden- burg has resigned after a stormy in- terview with Emperor William, during which Von Hindenburg informed the emperor that a German retreat on a large scale s necessary. 784 NAMES IN TWO ARMY CASUALTY LISTS Washington Oct. 7.—The foliowing casyalties are reported by the Com- manding General of _the American | Expeditionary -Forces: Killed in aetion 41; missing in ac- | tion 57; wounded severely 185 from wounds 18; died from a. and other causes 1: died of disease| 3° died from aeroplane accident 1; prisoners 1; total 397.

Washington, Oct. j.—Immediate re- jection of .the German and ‘Austrian proposal for an armistice ard peace negotiation was demanded in the sen- ate today by leaders voicing the com- mon sentiment of the membership. There was no dissent from the view that an armistice wold defeat all that America and ‘the = allies have been figkting for, and every speaker during two hours of a spirited session de- voted entirely to discussion of the en- emy’s latest move joined in declaring tha: only through military victory could the cause of the allies and hu- manity be won. The suggestion of such a step was scornfully denounced as ap insidious attack of a losing en- emy. Senator’ Hitchcock of , Nebraska, chairman of the senate foreign rela- tions committee, Republican Leader Lodge ‘of Massachusetts, ranking mi- nority leader of the committee; Sen- ators Poindexter of Washington, Mec- Cumber of North Dakota, Pittman of Ngvada: Ashurst and Smith of Ari- zona, Nelson of Minnesota, and Reed of Missouri were among the speakers representing both political parties. The" discussion which was made to vacate galleries closed as a precaution against the Spanish influenza epi- demic, may be renewed next Thurs- day when the senate reconvenes after a recess. z After Senator Hitchcock and others had declared an armistice impossible Senator McCumber introduced a reso- lution, . proposing as the first requisite to any peace negotiations. absolute surrender by Germany, including dis- solution of her army and navy and pledges for complete indemnifications. The resolution was referred to the for- eign relations committee. Although first pointing out that Germany’s offer contemplates accept- ance’ of President Wiison's fourteen peace terms, Senator Hitchcock declar- ed (hat-the request for an armistice is “absolutely abhorrent” to every mem- ber of the:senate. “It is unthinkable,” he said, “that the German and Aus- trian proposals will be accepted and he insisted that not only must Alsace Lorraine be restored to France, but that, in any peace negotiations, an or- ganic change in Germany's laws must be had so that the allies will deal with representatives of the Germany peo- ple.” Declaring that an armistice would mean loss of the war. Senator Lodge sail the allies must gain a complete military victory and that Germany must be “put behind the bars” He pointed out the danger of the “peace offensive’ which he predicted last August the enemy would make, and said he did not believe President Wil- son contemplates accepting any such proposal as that made by the enemy. Senator ‘Poindexter in the digcussion and other sa2nators W of . develon- committee should keep in close touch with the situation. It was suggested that in event of a recess, an agree- ment for prompt reconvening upon call of leaders, should be made.

NO-LICENSE FORCES GAIN ONE TOWN New Haven, Conn, Oct.” T.—Eleyen towns changed their stand on the li- quor question today in the vote on the license issue in Connecticut's “lit- tle town elections.” Twenty-six towns in the state voted and the pro- hibition forces won in six towns that were enrolled in the license column a vear ago, while the “wets” were suc- | cessful in five towns that were “dry.” The net result is a gain of one town for ‘the no-license forces, making the state tabulation 67 license towns and 101 no license.

OFFICIAL FIGURES OF MASSACHUSETTS PRIMARIES Boston, Oct, The official figures of the vote at the recent state pri- maries gives Channing H. Cox, repub- iican candidate for the nomination for lieutenant governor, a vote of 58481, instead of 53 981, as announced Satur- day. A clerical error in reporting the official figures was discovered when comparison was made with the returns tabulated by the press election night. These gave Cox 38,390. The other figures virtually were the same as those pronounced by the press, the official- count taking off six votes from the plurality given Richard H. Long, the democratic candidate for governor, by the press canvass. 4 v E e
