Further progress has been made notwithstanding continued tsrong opposition by German machine gunners from behind the natural for- tifications which abound throughout this district. American airmen are also continuing their bombingz opera- tions behind the German lines, their latest effort in this respect having a | béen made against the territory around Briquenay, north of Grandpre, in which 140 airplanes took party, 60 of them being bombing machines. Since the Americans began their op- erations northwest of Verdun more than 45 villages have been liberated, an advance to an average depth of ten miles has been made and more than 20,000 Germans have been taken prisoner.

Asahi Shimbun says that the is | abdication of the kaiser is necessary before peace negotiations become a practical question.

Unknown before the war, General Erich Ludendorff sprang into prom- inenge in the fall of 1914 as chief of staff to Field Marshal Von Hinden- burg, then a general, in the operations against - the Russians. When Von Hindenburg was given the chief com- mand in August, 1916, Ludendorfl was appointed first quartermaster general, but his position in reality has been chief of staff and collaborator with Von Hindenburg. Soon after his appointment as first quartermaster general, Ludendorff be- gan to be looked upon as the real “boss” of Germany and was recognized as the representative of the Pan-Ger- mans at great headquarters. It was Ludendorff who brought abput the re- tirement of Chancellor Von Bethmann- Hollweg and he was reputed to have been responsible for'the appointment to the chanceliorship of Michaelis and Von Hertling, both of whom were de- scribed as stopgaps. The general's rule as first quartermaster general has amounted almost to military dictator- ship. General Ludendorff was reported to have been the originator of the plan of the German offensive of 1918. The plan called for offensive operations on the western front which would split the British and French armies and compel the allies to beg for peace be- fore the strength of the American army could be available to any great extent. It was planned that if the offensive failed then Germany would resort to a diplomatic campaign in order to obtain peace. Since the defeat of the German of- fensive and the successful offensive of Marshal Foch, reports from Germany have been to the effect that Luden- dorff and Von Hindenburg were losing their popularity ~ in Germany, both because peace did not result from the German attacks and because of the heavy casualties suffered: by the Ger- mans. Early in October reports from Ber- lin were that Ludendorff had suffered a physical collapse and that he had decided to resign.

Berne, Oct. 2 General Von Ludendorff has caused a thorough sensation througsout Switz- erland and the central empires and is commented upon as a sign that gen- eral militarism is really abdicating. Among the German and Austrian peo- ples anger and indignation is increas- ing over the fact that the military situation has been so long concealed or wrong presented Will Shake Faith in Military. London, Oct. Service).—General surprise was caused 1in Berlin on Saturday afternoon by the fact that the daily report from German headquarters was not signed, as usual, with the name of General Ludendorff. Later the following offi- cial announcement was issued: “The emperor, accepting the request to be allowed to retire of Infantry Gen- eral Ludendorff, the first quartermas- ter general and commander in time of peace of the 25th infantry brigade, has placed him on the unattached list. The emperor decided at the same time that the Lower Rhenish infantry regiment, No. 39, of which the general has long been chief, shall bear henceforth the name of Ludendorff.” His resignation, it is believed in London, will still further shake the faith of the German people in their military machine. MRS. EDITH KELLY GOULD FINED 50 FRANCS IN PARIS Paris, Oct. 27.—The Correcticnal Court on Saturday heard the charges of Frank J. Gould against his wrfe, Mrs. Edith Kelly Gould, and Mario Casassus, a Mexican. The court fined the accused, who did not appear, fifty 27 francs each on a charge of having had improper relations.

Peking, Friday, Oct. 25. (By The A P.—The American legation has pro- tested against the sanctioning by the Chinese government of the proposed Chinese Trading company under thes auspices of Tsao Yulin, the acting minister of finance, and Tien Wen Lieh, the minister of agriculture. The company as planned would have re- markable special privilages concerning private permits, exchange ‘and dis- counts, amounting to a monopoly on the export and import business of hinCa.

In his sta.ement Mr. as questioned the motives and fidelity 9f vour rep- resentatives in congress. He has thereby impunged their lovalty and denied their patriotism. !1is chalienge Is 1o you who elected thos: represen- tatives. "You owe it to them, to the honor of your great partv :nd to vour own self respect to meet hat chal- lege squarely, not only as republicans, but as Americans, 1, as your chairman, call upon you o do it. : “Mr. Wilson accords the no eredit whatever for vorted the ‘war measures' proposed by his administration, although they have done so with greater unanimity than the members of his own party. De- spite that ract, he accuses them of h_avm;; tried to usurp his proper func- tiosn. “At no time and in no way have they tried to take control of the war out of his hands. The president knows that. The country knowns it. A more ungraciovs, wore unjust, more wan- ton, more mandacious a ation was never made by the mast reckless £tump orator, much less by a president of the United States, for partisan pur poses. It is an insult, not on'y to every epublicans having sup- lo: repubiican in congress, but to every loyal 1epublican e land. It fully merits the resentment which rightfully and surely will find ex- bression at the pollo.s “Mr. Wilson grudgingly admiis that the republicans have bsen ‘pro-war'. Then why does he demand their de- feat? Cecause they are still pro- war? Hardly that. No. It is hecguose they are for peace through, not with- out, victory; bacause thay do not be- lieve lastinz peace can be obtained through negotiations; because they consider that ‘U. S. stands for uncon- conditional surrender as well as for the United States and Unecle Sam.’ The democratic congress does not. Mr. Wiison does not. There is the issue clear.as the noonday sun. The coun- try will decide. 5 “Mr. \Vjison wants only rubber stamps, his rubber stamps, in con- gress. He sass so. No one knows. it Petter than democratic congressmen. He cails for the defeat of pro-war re- publicans and the election of anti-war democrats. < lle, as the cxecutive, is no longer satisfied to be one branch of the government, as provided by the | constitution, Republican congressmen must be defsated and democratic con- gressmen must, as they would, yield in everything. That s evidently his idea—the idea of .an autocrat calling himself the servant ‘but hidding for the mastery of this great free people. “Repu.bllcans in congress have seem- €d to him goed enough when they as- sented. as they did’ assen‘ with high- €St patriotism and sometimes against their best judgment, to his appeal. Re- publicans at home have ssemed to him £ood enough to send fully a million of their sons into battle, to furnish at least half of the army and far more than half of the money for the win- ning of the war, but thkey are not considercd good enough to have a voice in the settlement of the war. "B_ul. Mr. Wilson's real purpose has nothing to do with the conduct of the war. He has had that fromn the begin- ning, has it now, and nobody dreams of interfering with his control. He wants just iwo things. One is full power to setric the war p: ely as he and his sole, unelected, unappointed unconfirmed. personal advisor may de- termi Th2 other is full, power as the ‘unembarrassed spokesmnan in af- feirs at home' as he actually demands in his stat:ment, to reconstruct in peace times the great indusirial affairs of the nation in the sathe way, in un- impeded conformity with whatever socialistic Joctrines, whatever unlim- ited government ownership notions, whatever unlimited government own- ership notions, whatever hazy whims may happen to possess him at the time, but first and above all. with ab- solute committment to free trade with all the world, thus giving to Germany out of hand the fruits of a victory greater than she could win by fight- ing a hundred years. A republican con- sress will never assent to that. Do you want a congress that wili? Germany does. Germany looks to Mr. Wilson to get it for her, as he pledged himself to do in one of the few of his famous articles whioi is explicabie. Germany Understands that. See the New York World, spokesman of the administra- tion, of last Saturday and read the testimeny of Henry O. Emery, former head of the {ariff commission, just re- turned from .seven months in Ger. mmany. ‘The German people,” he says, ‘seemed to realize. that- in Fresident Wilson' lay iheir only salvation. They turned to him in the brulief that he is the one great political leader who can be trusted to make permanent peace which shall permi: equal econ- omic development.” He is.

FAYS Chairsadn of the Republican National Comimittee Takes President Wilson to Task fer Chief Executive’s Appeal to the Nation to Return a Democratic Congress—De- clares It is an Insult to Every Loyal Republican in the Country—Secretary Tumulty in a Public Letter Replies to Protests Against President Wilson’s Appeal. Bgress by recalling quotations from ut- terances by Colonel Roosevelt, former Pred.Gent Harrison, Senators Lodge and Penrose and former Senator, koraker in the campaign of 1898 af the close of the Spanish war. The Cuyahoga county committee teledraphed the White House taking issue with the president’s statement. Secretary Tumul writing at the president’s direction, simply commend- ed the statements he quoted and also various editorials appearing at the time in leading repubiican newspapers to the committee’s consideration with- out comment. The first quotation was from Col- onel Roosevelt, identified as republi- can candicate for governor of New York in 189S: “Remember that, whether you will or not, your votes this year will be viewed by the nations’of Europe from one standpoint only. They will draw no fine distinctis A refusal to sus- tain the pres; this year will, in their ‘eyes, be read as a refusal to sustain the war and to sustain the efforts of our-peace commission to se- cure the fruits*of war. Such a re- fusal may not inconceivably bring about a rupture of the peace negotia- tions. It will give heart to our de- feated antaZonists; it will make pos- sible the interference of those doubt- ful neutral nations who in this Strug- gle have wished us ill. “You could not get the benefits of the victories -of Grant and Serman only by re-electing Lincoln, and we will gain less than we ought from the war if the administration is not sus- tained at these elections.” From former President Harrison, pleading for the election of a repub- lican congress: . “If the word goes forth that the people of thé United States are stand- ing solidly behind the president, the task of the peace commissioners will be easy, but if there is a break in the ranks—if the democrats score a tell- ing victory, if .democratic senators, congressmen and governors are elect- ed—Spain will see in it a gleam of hope; she will take a fresh hope and a renewal of hostilities, more war may be necessary to secure to us what we have already won.” From Senator Lodge: “But there is one question on which I wish to say a few words and that seems to me to override all others. .1t is whether we shall stand by the administration and the president at this juncture. If we give. a victory to his political oppo- nents, we say not only to the United States, but we say to the world, we say to the Spanish commissioners in Paris. that the people of the United States repudiate its result and repudi- ate the man who has led victoriously the war and is now leading us back to peace—William McKiniey.” From Senator Penrose: “In his re- cent speeches the president has ap- pealed not to a partisan but to a na- tion spirit. He wants Pennsylvania te remain the keystone state for the republican party. It is difficult to overestimate the supreme importance of sustaining the president of the United States and the republjcan par- ty at the present critical crisls in our foreign relations.” From Senator Foraker: “The war came while a republican administra- tion was in power and must now be settled by that administration. I do not believe any fair-minded demoerat would question the fitness of the re- publican party for the discharge of this duty, but, however it might be otherwise, the work is already in the hands of President McKinley. What he wants is the support of the house of representatives.” Secretdry McAdoo tonight issued a statement supplementing - the presi- dent’s appeal, declaring that the only way to secure continued unity of com- and in America is to return a con- gress in full sympathy with the presi- dent’s views, policies and ideals. “Before ' America entered the war,” Mr. McAdoo said, “the allies had suf- fered repeated reverses because there ‘was no unity of command. They were divided among themselves in authori- ty. The first act of the president was to compel a unity of command under General Foch. Ever since that time America and her allies have been win- ning victories and a triumphant con- clusion of the war is in sight as long as unity of command and of action is preserved. Unity of command in Europe must be back up with unity of command and action in America.” ROADHOUSE RAIDED AT CUMBERLAND, R. I Woonsockes, R.
