The officer was in chargo of a Stokes gun at Zeebrugge. Ten min- utes after the engagement began the ammunition of the gun was blown up. Walker's left arm was fractured and he was perforated with shrapnel, He stuck to hiv gun till he fainted. “It was quite exciting,” he said, Fifteen American junior naval of- ficers who for more than a year have been indulging in the exciting game of chasing submarines, and getting a lot of them, arrived with skeleton crews to return with more subma- rine chasers, A healthier, brighter or more enthusiastic bunch couldn't be wished for. ‘They were all jubi- lant over the thought of crossing the ocean again in the cockle shells Sturdie," an English sheep dog, was the mascot of the boys, He had been with them eight months, The first time he went out in a chaser the latter got a submarine, So ho's ff Ostend, Oudenburg, Ettelghem, Varssonaere, St. Andre and St. Michel.

TO PEACE PROPOSAL | March Tells Senators Germans | Ludendorff Gave Gloomy Have Evacuated Belgian Coast to Holland Border, \wasmrvaton, oct. 19. — More than 2,000,000 American soldiers now have gone overseas, Gen. March told the members of the Senate Military Committee to-day at the War Depart- ment conference. British patrols participating in the Allied advance are reported to have reached the Holland frontier opposite Bruges, Gen. March said he was in- formed in to-day's early despatches. While the conference was in prog- ress Gen, March was notified that the Germans ‘had evacuated the en- tire Belgian coast up to the Holland boundary and that it is now in pos- session of the Allies, The German retirement from the Belgian coast district, Gen. March added, is Increasing in breadth and speed, The movement to the rear, on the whole, he added, is extremely rapid, as shown by the fact that the terrtitory, evacuated in four days totals more than 800 square miles. Gen, March did not attempt to an- alyze the military situation on the western front as a whole or to point out objectives of the various attacks, He called attention to the fact that the German retirement, starting last week on a sixty-mile sector between the Olse and the Argonne, had spread until it affected all except fifteen miles of the 250-mile front from the coast to the Meuse. The Hindenburg defense system 1s now entirely behind the Allied ad- vance and Marshal Foch is continu- ing his pressure without giving the enemy the slightest opportunity for a rest, he added, ‘To the south in France, the General said, renc.:1 aiiacks by Anglo- American fore:s solith of Douai have carried the allicd line to the hastily co: itructed German defense system which follows in a general way the Sensee Canai and marshes, No at- tempt to cross this barrier has yet been reported, While this retirement was in pro- gress, he said, the American Army northwest of Verdun wes fighting its way forward against stiff resistance.

LONDON, Oct. 19—(British Wire- lesp Sprvice).—Interesting particulars are now available concerning the re- cent happenings in Germany leading up to the sending of the German re- ply to President Wilson's questions, According to the Essen Zeitung, the decision to reply affirmatively was taken at a dramatic meeting of the Crown Council in Berlin, where Gen, Ludendorff made a gloomy report on the military situation. In the presence of Emperor William and all the federated princes, tho General, according to this newspaper, declared the situation was such that Germany might be invaded within a few weeks. In view of his great Promises of last spring he was mado the subject of bitter reproaches, Princo Max of Baden, Imperial Chancellor, said the war must be stopped at once. King Ludwig of Bavaria sharply crittcised Luden- dorff, while King William of Wuzt- temberg declared a heavy respond bility rested upon the Emperor. TR Grand Duke of Hesse complained { military interference in politics matters. The Chancellor finally et the recriminations short, the newt Paper adds, by proposing submissic to President Wilson's terms, . Indications that Gen, Ludendorff was probably correctly represented in his attitude by the newspaper is con- tained in a message from the Berlin correspondent of the Danish newspa- per, Berlingske Tidende, who reports that at the end of September Luden- dorft declared he had lost the game and could only hold the west front a fortnight, At the same time Bul- garia gave in, and concurrently with Ludendorff's declaration of his defeat there came an ultimatum from Aus+ tria-Hungary, stating that Germany should request peace, as otherwise the Dual Monarchy could not take any further responsibility, a Czech revo- lution being expected, the correspon dent adds, It is held here that Baron Burian’s speech on President Wilson's last nute js also in the nature of an ultimatum to Germany, peremptory in character, although similarly masked in cour- teous phrasing. It is considered plain from this speech that for Austria- Hungary the war is over, that she cannot go on any longer and that if Germany fails to satisfy President Wilson and the Allies then the ofily alternative of the Dual Monarchy is @ separate peace.
