It has reached Guise and the Guise-Marie road, driving the enemy before it. Swift Advance Posaible. General Debeny is now In a posi tion to push rapidly along the upper Oise Valley toward Hirsona nd Vervlns through a level country devoid of streams. The first result of his prog ress is to force the enemy opposing the 10th and 5th French armies, exhausted by fruitless counterattacking, to begin a backward movement which is eventu ally bound to extend to the front be fore Kettle!.

Lillo today opened wide her gates in formal recep tion to a division of the Fifth British army. She paid a Biipreme tribute of gratitude to those representatives of the army which a few days ago released her from the heavy hand of German bondage. fii 1792 there was a similar day of re joicing in Lille, when the Austrian siege of the city was broken. A cen tury later came the centennial celebra tion of this event. Today's demonstra tions surpassed both of these. All the inhabitants of Lille and many people from the surrounding territory scores of thousands thronged the streets, which were bedecked with the flags of the allies, to return thanks to their deliverers and to cover the war scarred veterans with flowers. The main ceremony was held in the center of the city, about the statue of the Hpirit of Renaissance of 1792, where the German officers were parading but a brief time ago and imposing their arrogance on the unhappy inhabitants. This morning found Liiie dressed for the occasion. Thousands of allied flags covered the buildings of the entire city and everywhere the red, white and blue were predominant the national colors of France, Great Britain and the United States. Lille had possessed but few American flags, but tho women of the city had applied themselves industriously to making the .Stars and Stripes, and the sister republic across the sea was gen erally represented. Grand Place, where the ceremonies were held, was like a brilliant scene from an opera. Overhead a great fleet of British airplanes swirled, like so many silver birds. As Lleutenant-Gen-cral William R. Birdwood rode into the city at the head of his troopa the crowds broke loose in a tremendous ovation. The members of the British staff were thoroughly smothered by the avalanche of roses thrown by women spectators. The Mayor, Charles de la Salle, with Prefect A. Regnler. of the Department of the North, municipal officials, the bishop of Lille and other ecclesiastics greeted the British forces. SENATORS SC0RE WILSON (Continued From Ftrat Pape.) leaders, for partisan political ends, are making a deliberate effort to "distort and misrepresent" the third peace prin ciple. He emphasized that the Repub lican "free trade attack had been with held until the present political cam palgn. This drew from Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, tho Republican leader, the declaration that he had not in dorsed all of the President's 14 prin ciples, and had especially opposed the term which, he said, proposes to guar antee Turkish sovereignty. Re-election Purpoae Alleged. Senator Pittman. of Nevada (Dem.). made a vigorous attack on Republican leaders, especially on ex-President Roosevelt and Chairman Hays, for their statements concerning the President's moves In the peace negotiations. The "ungodly purpose" of re-election Is the motive. Senator Pittman declared, charging Republican leaders with ex hibiting lack of respect for the Presi dent and with doing everything to dis credit him. Senator Ashurst, of Arizona (Dem.). referred to the attacks on President Wilson by Theodore Roosevelt, declar ing that the ex-President also had criticised Senators Lodge. Smoot and Penrose at the time the Progressive party waa formed. Caara-ea Declared ITarrne. "The things Colonel Roosevelt said about Senators Lodge, Smoot and Pen rose were just as untrue as the things he haa said about President Wilson," said Senator Ashurst. Because of Republican opposition, plans to adjourn Congress from tomor row until November 13 failed and both houses adjourned until Thursday, when Republican Senators plan to continue the peace and political discussion. The House had adopted the resolution for adjournment, but after the Senate failed to act It annulled its action. Ukraine Has New Cabinet.. AMSTERDAM. Oct. 2S. A new Ukrainian ministry has been formed with M. Lisogub as Premier, says a dispatch, from Kiev, received today. NEW YORK. Oct. 28. Colonel Theo dore Roosevelt, answering president Wilson's appeal for return of a' Demo cratic majority In Congress, urgeu voters of the Nation, In an address here tonight, to transfer control to Re publican leadership. Such an outcome of the election, ne declared, would assure "our allies mat America is determined to speed up the war and Insist on unconditional surren der" rt tha enemv and would serve notice on Germany "and her vassal states that they would nave to uwi henceforth "with the resolute ana straightforward soul of the American people and not merely with the obscure purposes and wavering will oi jar. n n- nerlarinir that "half the leaders or the President's own party opposed him when he had committed himself to war measures," Mr. Roosevelt asserted that heads of the Republican organization in Congress supported the Administra tion when a declaration of war was needed, when there was a demand for the draft, when the Army was sent overseas and wnen money was re quired by taxation or by loans. Bitter Jest Quoted. The former President spoke at a meeting under the auspices of the Re publican Club at Carnegie Hall to ad vocate the election of "the Republican state ticket In New ork and oi the Republican Congressional ticket throughout the Union." Rebuking what he termed the "ser vility" of Democratic leadership, the Colonel said it was "small wonder that in tho cloakrooms of the House the bitter Jest circulated: 'Here's to our czar, last In war, first toward peace, long may he waver!"" Mr. Roosevelt criticised the general course of the Administration through out the war, contrasting the Presi dent's appeal with Lincoln's outright refusal even In the darkest days of the Civil War to apply any party test to fitness for office. The Colonel said that Lincoln "ap pealed to all loyal men of all parties and asked that candidates for Congress be Judged, not by the standard of ad herence to his personal administration, but by their unconditional support of the war." Rhetoricians Wonld Be Displaced. Election of a Republican Congress, tha Colonel continued, would be under stood abroad as meaning that the pro Germans and pacifists and Bolsheviki and Germanized Socialists could not longer be counted on as efficient and tortuous tools, that the fighting men and not the rhetoricians were uppermost." Mr. Roosevelt Interpreted tne presi dent's reference to the "anti-Admin-Istration" attitude of Republican mem bers of Congress as based on tholr "de mand that inefficiency, waste and ex travagance be remedied" in the- war conduct working department.- We Republicans pledge ourselves to stand by the President so long as he stands by the American people and to part company from him at any point where in our Judgment he does not stand br the people." he said. "This is the people's government; this is the people's war anil the peace that fol lows shall be the people's peace." Truth Declared Resented. Quoting a press dispatch to the effect that Republican Senators, euch as McCumber, Nelson and Lodge "are as highly thought of in France today as are the American generals," Colo nel Roosevelt declared that "nine times out of ten this Administration has never led the people"; "has been reluc tantly forced forward into action by criticism against which it has violent ly protested" and "has sullenly and sometimes maliciously sought to punish the men who by their truth-telling have forced It into action." "In a word," the Colonel said, "the Democratic party, under the leadership of the Administration, has carried par tisan politics during the last 18 months to an extreme never before known In this country in a time of war. As among loyal upholders of the war, it has come dangerously near creating a condition of one partylsm. "The test insisted on has been not loyalty to our allies and hostility to Germany, but adherence to the Admin istration," he declared, adding that President Wilson's request of October 14 that citizens should subscirbe to the loan, but "leave to the Government of the United States and of the allies the momenfous decision Initiated by Germany" could be Interpreted as meaning that they "should both put up and shut up." Colonel Roosevelt asserted that it the Administration had used with mod erate efficiency the results of lavish generosity of Congress our Army and the allied armies would have been "doing last March what they are actu ally doing now In October." After asserting the war must be put through "to our last man and our last dollar." tho Colonel declared "we should accept no peace not based on the unconditional surrender of Ger many and her vassal states." He asserted that the President's lat est notes had placed him in such a position that he had either to "sacrifice America and humanity" or to "respond in such a wanner as to stultify his own diplomacy." t Replying to the statement Issued by President Wilson, Colonel Roosevelt , said in part: - I "This meeting is held under ceculiar i 'circumstances. If the President is right in the appeal he has Just made to the voters, then you and I, my I hearers, have no right to vote at this election or to discuss public questions 1 I while the war lasts. If his appeal Justified, only that faction of the Demo cratic party which exhibits toward the President rubber stamp attitude of com plete servility is entitled to enter Con gress and no man who Is a Republi can and no man who, whether a Re publican or not. puts loyalty the people ahead of loyalty to the serv ant of the people Is to have a voice In determining the greatest questions ever Brought before this fvation. . . Politics Put Aside. "When this war broke outl and all those who believed as I did cast all thought of politics aside and put our selves unreservedly at the side of the President. "Of cour-e if Mr. Wilson had really meant to disregard politics he would have constructed a coalition, non-parti san Cabinet, calling the best men of the Nation to the highest and most im portant offices under him withou regard to politics. "He did nothing of the kind. In the positions most vital to the conduct the war and in the positions now mos important in connection with negoti ating peace he retained or appointed men without the slightest fitness for the performance of tasks, whose .sole recommendation was a supple eager ness to serve Mr. Wilson personally an to serve Mr. Wilson's party Insofar as sucn service benefited Mr. Wilson. "I am glad that Mr. Wilson has now cast oft the mask. His appeal is now pure partisanship. . . . "I ask all patriotic Americans to con slder Just what is meant when th President says that In the present Con gress 'the leaders of the minority al though unquestionably pro-war have been anti-Administration." Vnfailtng- Support Given. "These leaders supported the Ad ministration when a declaration of war was needed. They supported it when there was a demand for the draft. They supported it when we sent the Army overseas. They supported every de mand for money, whether by taxation or oy loan. t "They supported it or gave it initi ative and guidance on every issue where it stood for vigorous prosecu tion of the war; and they supported it on these lines when the leaders o President Wilson's own party opposed him when he had committed himself to war measures and yet President Wil son now makes a partisan appeal In favor of the Democrats who opposed tne war measures and against the Re publicans who supported them. isow, wnat aoes Mr. Wilson mean when he speaks of these leaders as being, although 'pro-war,' yet 'anti- administration'? "He means that when the War De partment was administered with utter inefficiency they investigated the' mat ter and insisted upon efficiency. He means that when they found that nothing effective was being done shipbuilding they Insisted that the work be speeded up. He means that when they found that $600,000,000 had been spent for airplanes and yet that not an airplane had reached our soldiers at the front, they insisted that our sol diers should get the airplanes for which the people had paid. "Antl-Admlnlstratlon" Defined. .Mr. Wilson regards it as 'anti-admin istration' to demand that our gallant men at the front receive the guns and the auto-rifles and tanks and airplanes and shoes and clothing for which Con gress has appointed so many billions of dollars. "The entire offense of the Republican leaders in Mr. Wilson's eyes is that they have demanded that inefficiency, waste and extravagance be remedied. Such a demand he treats as "ant I -ad ministration." "Henry Ford has announced that he does not believe in patriotism; that he thinks the flag is silly, and does not believe in it, and that when this war is over he will pull down the flag and never hoist it again. "The son of this multi-millionaire stays at home, while hundreds of thou sands of men of small means leave their wives and children and go to the war. But Mr. Wilson is supporting Mr.Ford for the Senate. "On the other hand. Senator Weeks does believe in patriotism. He does believe in the war. His only son ie fighting overseas at this moment, facing death side by side with his com rades from every rank or lite. jut Mr. Wilson is opposing Mr. Weeks. "There are dozens of such cases, and the only explanation possible for the President's attitude is that he makes Ser- SPUR.WO0D Just to mention two of this collar's good points, look at . its spurs!

"The President says he is anxious about the effect on Germany and our allies of the election of a Congress which would follow the present Re publican leadership of the House and Senate. He need be under no anxiety. It would be clearly understood abroad as at home. Our allies would know that it meant that America was determined to speed up the war, to back her own Army and he armies or tne allies to tne limit, to tolerate no corruption or inefficiency in waeMrtsr the war and to insist on Germany's unconditional surrender. "Germany and her vassal states would know that in this country the pro Germans and pacifists and Bolshevists and Germanized Socialists could no longer be counted upon as efficient and tortuous tools: that the fighting men, and not the rhetoricians, were upper most, and that henceforth the Germans would have to deal with the straight forward and resolute soul of the Amer ican people, and not merely with the obscure purpose and wavering will of Mr. Wilson. "And finally, let our people remem ber that the incoming Congress will deal with the vital questions of recon struction after the war.
