Every town the British ha,ve captured has been pillaged. Usually the Huns break up and destroy whatever they are un able to carry off. There are further signs that the Germans either are carrying out or are on the verge of beginning a re treat from the Scheldt line as the British advance north of Valencien nes out in the direction of Mons and Maulieuge. They are less than IS miles from Mons and about fifteen from Jlaubeuge. Alsatians After Kaiser There was sharp fighting at Bnn-j sies before all the Germans remain ing In the town were subdued. As the enemy retreated he exploded mines under roads and railways. Many Alsatians have been captur ed. A large number of these ex pressed a desire to Join the French rrmy. saying they had been dragged into the Gorman army against their will and desired more than anything else to fight the emperor's forces.

Holding the Metz-Thionvillc gate way, supplemented possibly by occu pation of the fortress of BtrassburR, would enuhlo the allied forces not only to dominate the German forces on the front, but would give an open road to Germany should a resump tion of hostilities bo threatened.

It was delivered to Freder ick Oberlin. the Swiss charge here, last niiilit at !l n'ebick and soon af terward was on the eabb's in plain Kmrlish. Apparently the exchanges which hud been in progress between Washington and the allied capitals terminated late in the afternoon, en abling the president to replv iust 11 hours after the official text had been delivered.
