Valenciennes is the' next important station east of Lille on the great trunk railway along the northern -frontier of France. But it is not enough to recover these great industria towns. -We must recover them as far/as possible unscathrd, and that can only be done by mane vering the. enemy out of his positions. Instead therefore, of attacking Valenciennes from the' front, we are working 'around its flanks, and the, most ambitions of these flanking movements aims at 'penetrating a wedge. between the Scheldt and Sambre.' This' last movement is of the third and fourth' British armies, with American division' taking part. LAST OBSTACLE. We have secured our position across the Scheldt canal at Maing, and though our forward- progress farther east near Mormal wood is not sd rapid, we just arrived outside of Le Quesnoy,.~iM~~bba-.Rae.. - P CR~fOS I BELI Wild 'AccI laim: of Socialists alllStorm Signal by Pan German Press. BY H. J. LEAROYD. (London Times Cable Service.) (Copyright, 1918, by the Public Ledger Co.) LONDON,"Oct. 28--Ludendorff's retirement dwarfs all other ' recent events in Germany. Hague dispatches, much delayed, de scribe extraordinary scenes of enthu siasm in Berlin over Liebknecht's lib eration. The populace cried, "Away with Scheideman, away with the reichstag." CALLED STORM SIGNAL. The newspapir Rundschau comments: "This is a storm signal wherefore may' be estimated what' may await us from the excited feeling of certain misguided sections of the p'opulation." The.Independent Socialist Hoffman said the 'Prussian house of deputies, socalled people's government, was a comedy, and foreign countries should not be deceived. Let the kaiser place his 60 castles and the junkers their luxurious apartments at the disposal of retur'ning 'darriors, he said. Hoffman-was called ' to order amid disturbance when he asked the house why it became so modest, exclaiming, 'You seem to 'wish the king, of Prus.sia should exchange his crown for a tall hat." -,--, - 'OPINION VARIES.'.

THE HAGUEOct. 28.-Independent Socialist Leader Haase told the reichs tag that working classes all over Ger many are demanding that a republic be substituted for monarchial form of government. - Independent Social Democrats. are holding great meetings throughout Germany. These meetings are report ed to be followed by great street dem onstrations. The Frankisdhe Tages post writes, "National defense and the gathering together of all forces for re pelling President Wilson's demand is not possible because people would as sume that heroic efforts were demand ed of them, not to -save the fatherland, but to insure the throne of William 'the Second. "The- German people fear that con tinuation of the war will add further hundreds of thousands in casualties, and that German land might be de stroyed as Northern France has been laid waste only to maintain the kaiser In 'full possession of power. Had Wil iam the Second followed'the example of the gretatest monarch and' of his own free will divested himself of pow er like Charles V., his position in his tory would have been other than it will 'be when, in obedience to Pres ident Wilson's cgmmand, he will have., to resign his throne and end life as a private individual." "The Leipzelger Volksgeitung, under heading, "Protection Against Gas At tacks," says: "We learn from a trust worthy source that police of Berlin and other places in Germany are provided with gah hand bombs, which are to be employed against nibnatrationa."
