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."

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.

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

classical Lorraine base, but the German
staff reckoned on free passage through
Belgium, and Insufficiency of the de
fense system of Northern France. 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.

Lofty Motives of President Com
mented On; Strong Appeal Made
to Reason and Conscience.
I.OXDO.V, Oct. 9. 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."

BEND. Or., Oct. 10. (Special.)
Thomas C. Taylor, a past grand com
mander of the Knights Templar.
dropped dead In the Masonic Temple
here today. Just pior to the opening of
the afternoon session of the grand
commandery of the state, which he was
attending.
Mr. Taylor had arrived on the morn
ing train from Portland, accompanied
by Mrs. Taylor, and had attended the
morning services apparently In his
usual health and spirits. He marched
in the parade to the Pilot Butte Inn for
lunch, but complained of feeling de
pressed. Returning to the hall after lunch he
ascended the stairs, falling as he
reached the top. Death was almost in
stantaneous. Physicians pronounced
the cause apoplexy. Immediately fol
lowing the death of their brother the
meeting was adjourned to some time at
the call of Grand Commander Kiddle.
Mr. Taylor was one of Eastern Ore
gon's best-known men, having lived at
Pendleton a number of years, where
he amassed a comfortable fortune in
stock-raising. He retired a number of
years ago and was living in Portland.
In 1908 Mr. Taylor was elected grand
commander of the state for the Knights
Templar. At that time he was active in
politics in the state, having been elect
ed President of the State Legislature,
following several able terms in that
body.
Mrs. Taylor was on the automobile
ride given to the visiting ladies, from
which she did not return for several
hours after the death of her husband.
Mr. Taylor lived at 609 Main street,
Portland, having come here six years
ago after he retired from business. He
moved to Pendleton from Dayton.
