Interesting Story Of Yes

With The British Armies In France,
Sept. 28. Cambrai has been laid open to
capture by British where and when
the British see fit. It is unlikely,
honvver, that Cambrai wifi be taken
by a precipitate rush, inasmuch as it is
known (hat the Germans have mined1

LEAGUE OF NATIONS. ,
MUST BE MADE PAR T
OF PEACE SETTLEMENT
President Serves Notice That
OldStyle Statecraft Must
Be Scrapped
Washington. Sept. 28- President
Wilson served notice on the European
chancellories, allied as well s Teuton,
that they must scrap their old style
state craft if enduring peace is tt come
out or tne great war.
The United Press is able to state
scmi-officially today that the purpose
behind his New York address last night
regarded a most stfrikingly inde
pendent, is three fold,- namely.
First, to notify frankly and. openly
the allied spokesmen that they must
harken to. their peoples' wishes and
openly clarify their war purposes as
the United States has done.
Second, that they may frankly dis
cuss America's views and say "wheth
er they think I am mistaken in my in
terpretation of the issues," because
unity -of coifnsel and purpose is as es
sential as unity of military command
to properly- win the war.
. Third, that the whole world, bellig
erent and neutral, may knw that Am
erica will not be party to a peace that
sees 'one nation suffer, to the profit of
another; tbat.this nation insists upon
justice to friond and enemy alike at the
peace table; that we insist the .eace
negotiations shall be pubic ito the
world and that' no secret covenants or
barter business shall occur within the
world alliance to enforce peace upon
which we etill insist.
Standing out above his reiteration
of our war purposes, his adherence to
the league of nations idea and like po
sitions he has frequently taken here
tofore is the president 's virtual chal
lenge to the European spokesmen to lay
all their cards on the table now. He
points to the demands of the "plain
workaday people" that the leaders of
their governments declare to them
"painly what it is, exactly what it
is," that they are seeking in this war.
The people of these countries, he
says, "are not yet satisfied with what
they have been told statesmen
must follow the clarified common
thought of be broken."
And on this point.be talked directly
at the statesmen of our associates as
well as to the hypocritical spokesmen
of our enemies. The note of the whole
address soundeil the warning that Am
erica and the allies must think more
clearly now than ever before of the is
sues that hang upon the war and the
purposes that must be realized from
it. "
As for the United States, we are sot
interested in "terms," nor will any
peace based on barter or compromise
be sanctioned, the president declared.
Sinee we cannot accept the word of the
Hohenzollerns, we "can't 'come to
terms' with them," says the presi
dent. Therefore, he points out, any

Once more the Americans came on and

Yesterday afternoon I was able to fol
low the victorious British army well
beyond the Canal Dn Novd to th?
heights beyond, - overlooking Bourloa
wood, notwithstanding that in the morn
ing the Germans held the ground on this
side of the canal- This fact is remark
able, as ordinarily ground over which
the enemy has just retreatv-d is distin
ctly' unsafe. The Germans always
made a practice of covering approaches
to new positions with shell fire, lender
ing the work of bringing up men and
ma'lvrial almost as dangerous as front
line fighting. - -
I spent two hours in absolute quiet,
so far as the enemy. Iras concerned.

atmosphere.. Many ofj these, including
advanced field guns twerp far behind

(Continued on fiage thre'
peace in which the Teutons participate
must be irion clad and strongly riivet
ed. The best machinery to accomplish
this, he still sees in. the Jeague of na
tions, which, he adds, cannot be form
ed before the peace sitting (because it
would then be merely a new, alliance
confined to nations associated against
a common enemy) and it cannot be for
mulated after the peace settlement. It
must be an "essential part of the
peace settlement itself," the pf-esi-dent
declared. "It would be folly to
leave the guarantee to the subsequent
voluntary action of the governments
we have seon destroy Russia and de
ceive Rumania."
As a result of the president's ex
pressed hope that the allied statesmen
"will speak as they have occasion, as
plainly as I have tried to speak," the
general belief here isi that Lloyd
George and Premier Clemenceau will
soon opj?n!y dijpeuss 'the president's
latest expression on American war pur
poses. For several days thero has been
a strong undercurrent of feeling in of
ficial and diplomatic quarters here that
this should be done.
The president emphasized that the
justice to be obtained by the league
must involve no discrimination toward
any people.
This he set forth explicitly in a set
of fivo principles which he enumerated
as "tho practical program" of Amer
ica's peace terms, and for the mainte
nance of which "the United States is
prepared to assume its full share of
responsibility"
Five principles Set Forth
These principles were, he' atd
"First, the impartial justice meted
out must linvoVve 'no 'discrimination
between those to whom we wish to bo
just aud those to whom we do not wish
to be just. It must be justice that
plays no favorites, and knows no
standard bnt the equal rights of the
several peoples concerned.
"Second, no special or separate in
terest of any single nation or any
group of nations, can be made the bas
is of any part of the settlement which
is not consistent with the common in
terests of all.
Special Covenants Cat Out
"Third, there can be no league or
alliances or special covenant and un
derstandings' within the general and
common family of the league of na
tions. '
"Fourth, and more specifically, there
can be no special, selfish economic
combinations within the league end no
empolyment of any form of economic
boycott or exclusion except as the
power of economic penalty by exclus
ion from the markets of the world may
be A-ested in the league of nations it
self as a means of discipline and con
trol. "Fifth, all international agreements
and treaties of every kind must be
made known in their entirety to the
rest of the world."

STANDS FIVE CENT
By Carl 0. Groat
(United Press staff correspondent)
Washington, Sept. 28 American son:
centration on the west front, is direct.
fectio-n. 1 - .. " ,'. . .-
This interpretation was drawn today!
from Chief of Staff March 's press con
ference, in which he pointed out that
Germany now is no longer able to aid!
a hard pressed ally "Such as Butimria.
The downfall of Turkey andhe re
entrance of Rumania were foreseen by
j f . " . .,V -UKMICfcll UU
March as iiumuiient possibilities if a
separate peace is made with Bulgaria.
Tho Danubo front would be established.
Whereas last week March said the
war situation was - "continuously
good," he characterized it today as
',' continuously better. "
Dwelling largely' ori the Bulgarian
situation, the chief of staff pointed
out that her defection was important
not alone from a dipUxmatie standpoint
and from the general offect on the
grand strategy ctf the war, but also as
illustrative of tho striking effect of
wea..frot soBeentration....,, . , s,
rrevioiwiy, te pointed out, the Ger-f
man had been able' to devote some di
visions to other ." than the west front ''
when necessary, Tbt day has passed;
he said. . , -
The big concentratidn of the entire
American army, plus the French atid
British forces, holds the Gorman in the
west.
March declared we see the result in
Bulgaria's plea for a separate peace,
which, he suggested, foreshadows the
elimination, of Turkey and the re-en
trance of Knmania. ,
Turnia to the general .military sit
uation, March re stated that official re
ports said the Americans had taken
HO00 prisoners In their drive aud the
French 7000.
The American attack was character
ized by tho sharpness and rapidity cus
tomary with the handling of our troops
in France, March said. These ifactors
contributed largely to the five or six
mile gain on the first day.
The American advance has proceed
ed entirely beyond the Hindcnburg
line and is now facing what is known
as the Kriemhild line. -
As for the British attacking in force
in Cambrai, the chief noted that ths
Tommies are now within three miles
of the 'town' and have taken 10,000
prisoners and 200 guns.
A map Mari-h displayed showing tho
JJalkan drive pictured graphically thn
ugly allied thrust against the Bulger-,
ians. The Palestine drive was termed
by II arch a picturesque and important
movement.
Answering specific, questions, March
stated that the Eighty (Fourth divis
ion is now practically all in France;
that the Connecticut troops are in tho
Twenty Sixth division (last reported
in the" lino near tho St, Mihiel sec-,
tor.) ' i ''
