RETREAT ADMISSION MADE NEW DRIVE DIRECT TO RHINE IS NOW LOOMING CLOSELY General Malleterre Foresees Attack by Allies in Lorraine With Heart of Hunland for Its Objective. Teutonic Official Statement Declares v That Allied Attacks In Cham C pugn Were Repulsed. V BERLIN, Oct. 10. British and Amer ican troops followed the retiring Ger mans on both sides of the Roman road In the direction of Le Cateau, says the official statement issued today by the German army general staff. The Ger mans retreated step by step to new positions, fighting all the way. "On the battle front between Cam brai and St. Quentin," the statement adds, "we occupied positions in the rear. We have evacuated Cambrai." The text of the statement reads: "On the battle front between Cambrai and St. Quentin we occupied positions in the rear. We have evacuated Cam brai. HUM Use Tanks. 'Southeast of Cambrai, by means of successful counter attacks. - supported by tanks, which in the evening of Oc tober 8 put us in possession of Seran villers and the heights on both sides of Ksnes. Bavarian and Rhineland di visions primarily, as well as troops of the German Jaeger division, rendered essentially easier disengagement of the enemy. "In the face of strong infantry at tacks our trcops retreated step by step toward new positions, fighting all the way. In the evening the enemy stood east of the Bertry-Eusigny-Bohain line. 'In the Champagne enemy partial at tacks on both sides of St. Ktienne were repulsed. 'Between the Argonne and the Ornes ridge, American troops in co-operation with French forces again advanced in uniform attacks on the eastern bank of the River Meuse. Heavy Losses Alleged. "On the border of the Argonne forest attacks failed with heavy losses for the enemy. Cornay, into which the enemy penetrated, was recaptured. "Main thrust attacks delivered be tween the Aire and the Meuse were di rected against Sommevance and Ro magnc. Both places remained ia our hands' after fluctuating fighting. En emy forces penetrating via Romagne and east thereof as far as Cunel were driven back. "On the eastern bank of the Meuse we repulsed the enemy at and to the east of Sivry. We recaptured Sivry, which had been lost temporarily. Northwest and east of Beaumont an assault of the enemy failed before the" lines held by the Austro-Hungarian chasseurs and Rhineland regiments." (By General P. II. G. Malleterre, of the l French Army. Copyright, 1118, by the Press Publishing Company, the New Tork World. Published by arrangement.) PARIS. Oct. 10. Special.) As the great battle spreads it becomes more violent. The entire front from the Yser to the Meuse Is afire. Only the eastern sector, between Ver dun and the Vosges Mountains, main tains a mysterious calm. It seems clear that Marshal Foch's maneuver turns toward envelopment of the front he has attacked. While the armies of Debeny. Mangin and Guillaumat hammer at the center from St. Quentin to Rheims the Brit ish and Belgian armies are following up the great left wing movement, aimed at the encirclement of Lille and Cour trai, and the Franco-American forces are pushing the right wing northward on both sides of the Argonne forest. The Germans are resisting energet ically. While we cannot yet perceive whether they are carrying out a great strategic retreat, as the German press likes to phrase a rearward movement, nevertheless they are withdrawing from the region in the neighborhood of Lille, more particularly in the La Basse sector. Gains Made Everywhere. Allied attacks are making progress in all the sectors, accomplishing It by fierce fighting. The Hindenburg line has.been broken at its sensitive points Cambrai, St. Quentin and Le Catelet. The map shows that the German high command still has much room in which to execute a retirement which will bring its badly mauled troops to posi tions which will protect the soil of the empire, but we also see that the glacis covering enemy territory in which the Germans are continuing their hard struggle diminishes in width with each allied bound eastward. The "whole of Belgium separates the northern and central allied armies from the Rhine country, while on the other hand the allied right wing through Alsace Lor raine comes into direct contact with the empire. The general allied offensive against Germany is in direct opposition to the German strategic offensive of 1914. Pivoting in Alsace-Lorraine, one must recross the roads of Belgium and Ar dennes, we may easily see the reason or tne decisive strateirv of thx nine. by seeking to break the Lorraine pivot. tnereDy gaining quicker access to the Rhine country, through Luxemburg ami the Palatinate. Kaaler Route Sought. In 1914 the colossal maneuver of the German staff sought out the roads of France to Paris by wheeling on the great fortified Meuse barrier. The dis tance was certainly greater from Aix Lachapelle and Malmedy to the Aisne than if the route had started from the WAR VETERANS ORGANIZE Ovcr-the-Top rost Xo. 81 Instituted at Grand Army Hall. With 43 charter members, Over-the-Top Post No. 81, Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, was insti tuted last night in the Grand Army hall at the Courthouse.

The great advance through Belgium Having been executed the French armies were driven back toward the Marne and Paris. Had the offensive then spread to Lorraine it would have caught our armies in an immense vise, but the east ern armies under Castelnau and Dubail having held the offensive back it be came impossible to redress the French armies from the Marne to the Meuse. In the advance of the allies' left wing across Belgium it will encounter both at the Scheldt and at the Meuse bar riers more difficult than oppo Von Kluck and Von Bulow In August. 1914. Atl?ast it will have the effjet of lib erating Belgium, but it is on the allied right wing that will fall the strategic role of liberating Alsace-Lorraine and of carrying invasion to the enemy's country. The German high command will nat urally offer the most determined re sistance there. In the Ardennes and Longwy region, in the Lorraine mineral district of Briey and Thionville. in the defensive system of Thionville-Metz-Strassburg there are ways of access to the Rhine. The fate of Germany may be decided there. It is very probable that the shortening of the German front will be brought about as much by for midable allied pressure as by lack of effectives and material In Germany. Hunt Prepare Deteasen. The German high command has pro vided very strong positions, which it must have organized powerfully- in the region embraced within the boundaries of the Scheldt, the Meuse and Lorraine. It has the northern railroad whicli bor ders the frontier of Belgium and the Rhenish railroads, which give It facili ties for moving supplies. It thus hopes that Winter will find it secure in con ditions of "temporization," but the bat tle will continue, and it will dictate destinies. We wish to draw the attention of American leaders to rumors which are current concerning German losses and available reserves. There is a tendency to exaggerate both. We know the number of prisoners and the quantity of material captured. It is difficult to estimate the losses in killed or in to tally disabled. Enemy resistance alone will give the basis for a correct esti mate. It is the same in regard to ru mors of the forces available i-n Ger many. Some say the German conscript ed class will yield 750,000. This is ab solutely false. Before 1914 the census showed that this class numbered less than 600.000 men, of whom 100,000 had been found unfit for military service. It is not possible that young classes ot IS years, with deductions for volun teers and for rejected men, can yield SOO.OOO recruits; the number Is below that figure.

President Wilson's reply to Prince Maximilian found full est support in this evening's news papers. Tie 'Westminister Gazette says: It fulfills the hopes and ex pectations of the allies in Europe." The Pall Mall Gazette says the answer will put to an effective test the sincerity of the German overtures." The Standard says the questions asked by President Wilson "go to ttie root of matters and indicate very clear ly the insincerity, weakness and hol- lowness of the proposals put forward by Prince Maximilian." All Demands Met. Commenting on the reply sent by President Wilson to the peace proposal of the central powers, the Manchester Guardian says: 'It is admirably conceived alike in form and substance. It is dignified, conciliatory and firm and it lays down exactly the conditions which the situ ation demands." Viscount Grey, the former Secretary for Foreign Affairs, in the first speech he has made in two years, said he thought peace was within sight, but not within reach. He praised the wis dom of President Wilson's reply to the German note. Viscount Grey spoke at Westminster at a "league of nations" meeting. PARIS, Oct. 10. Rene Viviani, former Premier, writing on President Wilson's reply to Prince Maximilian in the Petit Journal, says: "The note is firm without brutality; lofty but devoid of that insolence with which Germany has eo often accom panied her trampling of the van quished. It is substantial, furnishing irrefutable arguments for the reason and conscience -of everybody, even in Germany. Light Answer Unsnited. "Some might have preferred that it be more trenchant, but when blood is flowing from so many gaping wounds no man can lightly answer with a simple denial euch proposals." ROME, Oct. 10. "The answer of the American Government to the proposals' of the central powers is what the whole entente in its soul looked for," says the semi-official Stefan! News Agency. "The terms used in answering the German note are a clear demonstration that President Wilson is aiming at a just and lasting peace. "The Italian government is alive, to its duties and is proceeding in most complete agreement with Its allies. It is sure of interpreting the unanimous desire of the nation." President Wilson's reply to the pro posal of the Imperial German Chancel lor, Prince Maximilian of Baden, for an armistice and the beginning of peace negotiations reached Rome while Ambassador Thomas Nelson Page was giving a luncheon in honor of Samue Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor. The President's reply was received with applause. President Wilson Toasted. Leon ida Bissolati, Minister of Mill tary Aid and N ar Pensions, made an address toasting President Wilson, "who Is not only President of - the United States, but is our President." MADRID, Oct. 10. President Wil. son's reply to the latest peace pro posals of the central powers was marked by a serene clearness, says the Epoca. Germany, the newspaper adds, must now demonstrate before the entire world whether her intentions are dictated by sincerity or duplicity. President Wilson, by the clearness of his response, will compel Germany to imitate him. on that part of the line running from northwest of Rheims to the Meuse River are still pressing forward in the converging movement with the armies in the west, and gradually forming the entire war theater into a huge sack. The Americans continue slowly to advance up the eastern side of the Meuse, while west of the river, in con junction with the operations of the French, they have all but obliterated the great Argonne forest as an enemy defense position. To the west of the forest in the Aisne Valley, and still farther westward, the French also have made further gains. - Huns Resist Strongly. Throughout the entire region the Germans still are offering stubborn resistance, mainly with machine guns, realizing the importance of holding back their foes while their armies in Belgium and farther south make good their retrograde movement. Secretary of State Says Justice With out Mercy and Mercy Without Justice Kqnally Unchristian. AUBURN. N. Y., Oct. 10. "If an other world war is to be prevented, strict justice and the common good must be the underlying; motives of those who are charged with the re sponsibility of drafting the peace treaty after Prussian militarism is crushed." Secretary of State Lansing said tonight, in an address here. He waa speaking at the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the found- I lng of the Auburn Theological Semin- I ary. I While stern justice must be tempered with mercy. Mr. Lansing said, when me time comes to balance the account the authors of the "frightful wrongs committed against mankind should not be forgotten." He urged, however, that the Amer ican people discriminate between the Ignorant and the intelligent, between the responsible and the irresponsible, between the master and the serf. Principle Already Laid Down. "The principles on which a general peace will be made between the war ring nations," said Mr. Lansing, "have been clearly stated by President Wil son. These principles of justice must guide those charged with the negotia tions of the great treaty of peace, and must find expression In that momen tous document which will lay the foun dation for a world transformed. ' "Thoughtful men must know that the peace which is to come will not be a lasting peace if Its terms are written in anger or If revenge rather than the desire for strict Justice and the com mon good la the underlying motive of those who are charged with the grave responsibility of drafting the greatest treaty which this world has ever known. "I think that it is sufficient In these days of toil and struggle, while the beast controlling the peoples of the central powers is Btill at large, to as sert that the Peace which will come when the world is safe will be a peace founded on Justice and righteousness. Mercy Important Factor. "Let us not forget that, while stern justice without mercy is un-Christian, mercy which destroys justice is equal ly un-Christian. When the time comes to balance the account and it seems to be drawing near as the vassals of Germany fceck refuge, from the day of wrath the authors of the frightful wrongs com mitted against mankind should not be forgotten. 'The period of readjustment and res toration which will follow the disor ganization and destruction caused by the war will tax human wisdom to the uttermost. The hour of triumph is drawing near. T ho day of the war lords is al most over. "To those noble Americans, our friends and brothers, to those who have made the supreme sacrifice and to those who have dedicated their lives to the cause or their country, to the brave men of the allied nations who have so gallantly died that liberty might live, we owe a debt whicli imposes on us the obligation of making certain that their service and sacrifice have not been In vain. They fought and are righting for better world. It lies with us to do our part to make It better." THOMAS C.
