CAN'T BE USED AS BASIS Dtwa Chancellor Speak For Military Masters or the Whole German Peo ple? Preidemt' Note a Master Stroke. Washington, Oct. 8. President Wil son has met Germany's peace note with a move which will, at one stroke, de velop whether her proposal is sincere or merely a pretension, and, if a pre tention it be, fully justify for all time before the world the prolonging of the war with force to the utmost, force without stint or limit. At the same time the president has left wide open the door to peoce.. Declining to propose an armistice whi'e the armies of thV ."ntJrvl row ers remain on invaded soil, the presi dent today called on the German chan cellor to state as an absolutely neces sary preliminary to a reply from -the entente allies and the United States,, whether Germany accepts the princi ples of peace as repeatedly laid down, or merely proposes to accept them "as the basis of negotiation" and whether the chancellor merely speaks for the German military masters conducting the war or the whole German people. Way to Peaee Still Open. As the full significance of the presi dent's diplomacy is disclosed it be comes evijdent that he has left open the way to peace and at the same time left the militarist leaders of the central powers with a question they must nec essarily answer in a way that will lead to peace or confront them with a most embarrassing situation in their own countries. Among diplomats here the president's communication is regarded as one of his master strokes. It is pointed out that upon cursory examina tion it may not show such strong terms as some may have desired. All the i president's advisers, however, are con- ; fident that as a close consideration re- veals its full import will be apparent that it is a long step forward if Ger many really means peace, and that if she does not it will strip bare anoth er hypocrisy of German diplomacy so completely that the responsibility for prolonging the war never can be charged to the allies, even by the Ger man people themselves. . The text of the president's commu nication was made public today by Secretary Lansing, together with the official text of Prince Maximilian's note now published in America for the first time. At the same time officials let it be known that there would be no reply at present to the Austrian note, similar that of the German chancellor. It is not considered necessary to deal with Austria until the time comes for a re ply to her dominating ally. In announcing his action. Secretary Lansing issued the following: Swiss CharsrC Note.

In ex plaining this today the railroad ad ministration said much misapprehen sion existed as to the-new arrangement, particularly among Southern cotton shippers. Many shipments of cotton recently - have been diverted . to ocean routes to relieve rail lines, and the as-, sumption of marine risks by the. gov ernment was prompted mainly by this condition.

WILSON MAKES INQUIRY While Peace Maneuvers Continue, the Allied Forces Everywhere are In flicting Defeats Upon the Cen tral Powers. (By The Associated Press.) The complete withdrawl of the troops of the Teutonic allies from oc cupied territories is - essential to the commencement of any peace discus sions with Germany. This fact has been made known to Germany and Austria-Hungary by" President Wilson in answer to the recent appeal of the German imperial chancellor for an armistice on land and the sea and in jiie air and "the discussion of possible r means for ending 'the wax." 'v ' In addition, President Wilson is desirous of knowing, and has directly asked the question, for whom the im perial chancellor was speaking when he advanced his proposal whether it was for the ' constituted authorities of the empire who have been conduct ing the war or for the whole German people. The president also desires to know if Germany in seeking peace ac cepts the terms already laid down by the president as the basis for the ending of hositdlities. Meanwhile the entente allied forces everywhere are defeating the armies of the Teutonic allies. In France they are fast carrying forward maneuvers which are resulting in the enemy's line giving way from the region of Cambrai and Verdun. Likewise in Macedonia and Turkish theatres the cleaning up process continues un abated. Over a front of 20 miles between Cambrai and St. Quentin the British, American and French troops have started a mighty drive, which in its initial stage has thrown the enemy back from highly prized tactical po sitions to a depth of from two to five miles. Numerous towns have been captured and seemingly all the great defensive positions of the enemy in this region have been obliterated. Large numbers of prisoners have been added to the already great throngs captured since the allied offensive begun. In addition terrible casualties were inflicted on the enemy by the heavy artillery Are at the, beginning of the attack which began early Tues day morning, and the machine - gun and rifle fire of the attacking forces against the enemy who resisted stub bornly at various points. The American troops, fighting alongside the British always were in the van, and when night fetl their positions were where the points, of penetration of the German line were greatest. At last accounts hard fight ing was still in progress with the enemy steadily giving ground. On the southern part of the battle front, " from the Rheims sector to the Meuse river, the French and Ameri cans are carrying out successfully their converging movement north ward and on all sectors have gained additional ground. Northeast of Berry-An-Bac the French have driven their line to the junction of the Aisne and Suippe rivers, placing -the German front around Laon and eastward in greater jeopardy. In Champagne General Gouraud's forces have increased their gains all the way eastward to the region of the . Argonne forest, wiile on the eastern side of the forest the Americans have improved their battle froyt along, the Aire valley. In Macedonia the Italians and Ser bians are still forcing the enemy troops to retire in Albania and in Serbia while. "in Palestine the British have driven the Turks more than 30 miles north of Damascus. Reports are to the effect that the Turkish cabinet has resigned and that the Turks have sent delegates to Greece to talk peace. TROOPS WARNED THAT HTJITS ' ARE STILL ON OCCUPIED SOfL Washington, Oct. 8. General" Diaz, h commander-in-chief of the Italian army, has issued a general order re minding his . soldiers that the enemy still is on Italian, French and Belgian soil and - calling on them not to be weakened by flattering hopes of .peace,' but-to hold themselves in t readiness to completely -crash the enemy if hie-peace : - " '- .

GENUINE OPEN WARFARE rj. . .r .- " Enemy, Whose Reply is Welt .Extraordinary Task Accom plished Ahead of ehedole. British Headquarters in France, Oct. 8. (ReutersO The attack begun this morning by - British and American forces on the Cambrai-St. Quentin front has become -open warfare in the real old sense of the term the developing of . various carefully worked out man euvers into one great general scheme which is to combine in securing pre arranged objectives and the rounding up of as many Germans as possible. The Anglo-American attack was laucbed. at. 2: 39 o'clock in the morning. In the darkness of the hour of a quiet moonless night twenty miles of guns suddenly crashed forth in a hideous dis sonance, Another phase of the battle commenc ed at 4 130 o'clock and yet another phase when the first grey dawn, was filtering into b dull sky which presently ful filled its threat to rain. The enemy's artillery response was weak. This confirmed the idea that the Germans steadily were withdrawing their guns. It had been necessary to assemble the assaulting waves to the' east- of the Hindenburg line and to get the masses of men in through the intricate and battered trench system in the dark. It was a task of extraordinary difficulty, but it was accomplished well before the zero hour. Comparatively few tanks were em ployed. " In f act, this was a night sur prise and it must have minimized alike their opportunities and the .necessity' for the assistance.
