WASHINGTON WARNS AGAINST OVE RCONFIDENC i WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—German reports that Prince Maximilian’s reply to President Wilson’s inquiry has been de- spatched and indicating that “in a sense” an acceptance of the President’s conditions of peace, led to an authoritative statement here to-day that the public should be warned | against believing Germany is about to end the war by uncon- ditional surrender. If Germany's reply was despatcheclast night it probably will reach Washington not later than to-morrow night. It would be quite in keeping with German methods, pointed out, to seek at this critical moment to befog the issue and unsettle public opinion in enemy countries by misleading statements to create the impression that the war is over. Aside from other reasons for such a course, the Germans un- doubtedly would have in mind the effect of such a policy upon the Fourth Liberty Loan.

WITH THE ANGLO-AMERICAN FORCES ON THE VA- LENCIENNES FRONT, Oct. 12 (Associated Press).—There was every evidence to-day that the Germans were preparing to make a strong stand on the Valenciennes line, which now has been reached, at least east of the River Selle, by the Anglo-American forces. LONDON, Oct. 12 (Associated Press).—German troops in the region of Douai are retiring behind the Sensee Canal. British forces have reached a line two miles west of Douai. It is believed |Fiel dMarshal Haig’s men will be in the edge of the canal and in the outskirts of Douai by to-morrow morning. The Germans are falling back very rapidly in the Champagne, and his morning the French had advanced for a distance of from three to four miles, After capturing Vouzieres, on the Aisne River, the French have gone me distance beyond that town. So swiftly is the line changing that it is difficult to follow the French advance from point to point FRENCH CROSS THE RETOURNE IN FORCE PARIS, Oct. 12 (United Press).—The French are across the Re- tourne River in great force and pursuing the fleeing Germans toward Rethel, an important enemy base on the Aisne Cavalry and fast automobiles carrying machine guns are harrying the Germans. The French have passed Quilly, midway between Pauvres and Voiziers. WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN THE CHAMPAGNE, Vouziere’ , » Oct. 12.— Guise as well as all of the villages in the whole region south of Laon are burning (This may indicate that the Germans are preparing to evacuate the stronghold they have held so long.) PARIS, Oct, 12.—The Americans are closing in on Dun-sur-Meuse, while their left wing is within five miles of Buzancy, says Marcel Hutin in the Echo de Paris. He says important events which will change the entire face of things may be expected in this part of the Woevre front. Orders found on prisoners show that the enemy was instructed to resist on the Suippe River front until the 13th at least in order to save ili the material possible and to enable the adjacent armies to conduct an orderly retreat. Gen. Gouraud’s attack upset this plan, Although the Germans had | twenty-five divisions in the Champagne sector, twelve of which were fresh, the fear of being rushed caused them to decline battle. The Crown Prince had moved his headquarters from Mezieres in hot haste. FRENCH PENETRATE VOUZIERS Continued progress was made last night by the French troops along the entire champagne front, the War Office an- nounced to-day. The French have penetrated the important | railway town of Vouziers, {Vouziers 1s on the western edge of the Argonne Forest. Last night's communique reported the French within @ mile and three quarters of that town.) The French are holding the general line of the Retourne and the road rom Pauvres to Vouziers, LONDON, Oct. 12.—British forces last night continued their ad- vance north of the Sensee River, Field Marshal Haig announced to-day. The advance is in the direction of Douai, The villages of Hamel, Bre- and Cuiney have been captured. »Further north the British have pushed to the east of Henin-Lietard, northwest of Douai and they are in the environs of Annay. | {Culney 1s less than two miles west of Doua!l. This repreesnts an ional ady of nearly four miles from west of Beaumont. Bre- two miles and a half southwest of Doual, on the road from n-Artols, Hamel js a mile west of Arleux in-Lietard ts four and a half miles east of Lens, and Annay alf miles northeast of Lens. WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, Oct. 12 (Associated ) The e Jay began an attempt to blow up the Anglo- American advance on main battle front, All the bridges across the | River Selle from Le Cateau southward were blown up and the Germans seem to have been digging in furlously along the line of the high ground from 2,000 to 4,000 yards east of the river, rieres ‘ i na nes ne
