JUNIOR PIONEER DEAD
( cupation-of Lille was its primary
objective. 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..

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." -,--,

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

"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

"The Leipzelger Volksgeitung, under
