Sentiments of a Barbarous People.
Paris, Oct. 22.—“The German note is a typi-
cal document,” says Le Matin. “It expresses the the general situation seemed to be that the al-
sentiments of a barbarous people who failed in
their foray.” Le Petit Journal says the note is
“proof that the German high command consid-
desperate."
Door Left Open for Quibbling.
Paris, Oct. 22.—The latest German note is
generally believed here to be equivocal and both sides of Banthevifle7broke down",
phrased to leave the door open to all sorts of quib-
bling. No evidence is seen of a genuine desire to
accept the only way in which peace can be con-
cluded. It is generally thought the reply will not
satisfy Washington.

Two Recent Cases Disprove Denial.
• London, Oct 22.—Newspapers almost with-
out exception, view the German reply with impa-(
tience and distrust “Germany is still. impeni-
tent,” is the general belief.
With reference to the German denial that the
German naval forces had ever purposely destroy-
ed life boats with passengers, two of the most re-
cent cases are the Landovrey Castle, a Canadian
hospital ship, and the French steamer Lydiana.
After the Lydiana was torpedoed, two whale events.
I boats and a raft were lowered with survivors. A
submarine rammed both.
, Belgians Will be Released by Huns?
Allied forces which swept the Genpans from
Flanders, captured a I5-inch cannon with which
the Germans bombarded Dunkirk for one year.
The gun was undamaged*. The Germans also
were forced to abandon coast defense guns,
many of which were intact .
HUNS HURRYING FROM BRUSSELS.
Amsterdam, Oct. 22—German forces in Brus-
sels are working incessantly to remove war ma-
terials from that city, according to dispatches.
Many legiments of German troops are leaving

people. Antwerp is not yet affected by recent

Official comment is withheld awaiting an in-
dication of the President's views. Informal opin-
ion is agreed that immediate peace is not at hand.
Some observers fe^l that no answer will be made.

the German command is ready to accept dictated STRONG FRENCH FORCES ATTACK
terms of an armistice, they should approach al- _______
lied forces on the subject.
A private dispatch from Germany, published French forces attacked this morning on the cen-
in Copenhagen, says that troops on leave are re-
ceiving private orders not to return to the front
and to this extent demobilization has begun. Mil-
itary men here regard this as inconceivable.

Development of the plan being followed by the German high command in the retreat _from
northern France and Belgium, shows Metz is being used as a pivot. While the Germans arepour-
nig fresh divisions into the line fronting the Americans northwest of Verdun, the rest of the Ger-
man legibns are swinging backward toward the Belgian frontier.
Several situations on the front make it probable that Foch will interfere with the orderly re-
tirement of the enemy. The Hunding line is apparently outflanked in Belgium and attacks in the
Oise region threaten a disorganized retreat. The French and British are boring into the enemy^s
positions so swiftly they may outflank the Germans still holding the line to the southwest. Thejen-
emy is expected to abandon Valenciennes quickly. . 1.4. ,
I BRITISH TROOPS ADVANCE WITHIN
MILE OF TOURNAI, IN BELGIUM
' London, Oct. 22.—British have advanced to
the left bank of the Echillon river and captured
the western part of the village of Thiant, 5 miles
southwest of Valenciennes and have advanced to
within one mile of Tournai.
The official statement says our troops made
further progress between Valenciennes and
Tournai. The enemy’s resistance on this front is
. In the Tournai sector, after sharp
fighting, we drove the enemy from the village of
Orcq and Froyen woods.
Thirty-six tanks, comprising one battalion,
save at least one thousand casualties every day
they are in action, according to calculations by
war experts. Major General Heley said but for
