There has been many Indications in the last few days that the Germans intend' to retire as slow ly and strategically as possible fronr its present position, especially west of1 the Meuse and possibly withdraw en tirely from non-German soil. The vicinity of Mats will continue to be the pivot of this retiring move ment because of its- strategic import ance. Much evidence of this intention on the part of the enemytia especially recognized on the front of the Amer ican second army in the Woevre. The deserters from German ltnes and pris oners corroborate this information and say the German commander is salving every bit of war material in the region and transporting light and heavy guns into German territory east of Met.

The-Austrian armies, shattered by the blow of the Italians, British and French are fleeing pell mell on a front of more than- 100 miles from the Bretna river east and south to the Adriatic. Apparently the enemy has lost all .power of resistance on the im portant sectors of the front Count ies numbers of prisoners are being taken by the allies. 1 General lHaig has again taken up the offensive operations on the front I south of Valenciennes and reports his troops as making good progress early Friday. On the French front and the Amer ican seotors east and west of the Meuse only artillery has been active. East of the iPiave all of the allied armies are marching rapidly toward Tagliamento in pursuit of the Aus trians. The Livenza river 10 miles east of' the Piave and 16 miles from Tagliamento has been reached and crossed, while to the south along the lowlands north of the Adriatic the Italian third army continues to move ahead. The formidable defense of the enemy bastian around Monte Grappa has been broken by the allies and the Austrians are retiring hur riedly from the region between the Bretna and the Piave. Northeast of iMonte Grappa the Italians have forced their way through the Quero gorge and are moving up the Piave valley toward Beluno further enlarging the wedge between the Austrian armies in Ve netia and those in the mountains. There has been no further reports on the propres of the plea of the Austrian army commander for an armistice. Details of the armistice terms given the Turks are still undisclosed in large part. Reports on conditions in Germany are meagre due probably to German conseroship. Reports of the emperor's abdication are stil persistent. ' On the western front from the Dutch frontier to Switzerland the allies-maintain their pressure but ex- cent for the new British thrust near aVlenciennes righting activities are confined to artillery duels, carying in intensity. . The German line south of Valen ciennes is the important sector be tween Ghent and the Meuse and its collapse might compel a German re tirement on a large scale. w S S MR.

Concerning Senator Simmons he says: "One. of Our Greatest Statesmen.'' "Born of New 'England parents and reared in Chioaso.- it ia.most natural that I should-imbibe to seme extent' the opinion prevalent among many of my northern business associates, and especially those of the Republican persuasion, that the leaders of the Democratic party of the South were rather partisan and radical in their viewa upon public questions.'
