Paris, Oct. 5.--MThe big news ..* the entry of AlHed troops into St. Quentin is regarded here as mark- ing' virtoally the winning of Foch's great battle. "St. Quentin, this town of over 56,000 people, had been oc- cupied over four years by the Ger- mans, who had made it one of tho main pillars of the Hindenburg line. It covered the right flank of tae German ¢eéntral bastion in France. The inevitable 'sequel to the driviug out of the asap from this enor- | mousiy Important position will be the deliverance of a 'further large stretch of French soil from pollu- tion by.the Germans. The whole German centre in France is now visibly cracking un- der the implacable pressure of the Allies. . And 8t. Quentin has opened tne way for the AMNies to retrace under the wings of! vietary "the painful road which the heroic little British army followed four years ago awid such trenmedous pain and magni- ficent sacrifice during the immortal fighting of the retreat from Mons. Perspectives opened up by the fall -of- 8t.Quéntin are alluring in the extreme. The armies of the Kron Prinz are now placed in such & position that they can only re- main on the Aflette and Aisne at imminent risk of disaster. In Risky Position. ' Turned 'from morth at St. Quen- tin, ceaselessly pressed by Mangin's Ironsides, Who can now see Laon before them, and by Berthejot's men pushing forward from the west of Rheims, these enemy forces are daily ineurring greater and greater danger: IAs experts here see the situation® the Kron Prinz's armies are now in 'a risky position, as were those of Von Hutier on the Avre and ven Boehm on the Marne, . Gouraud's steady progress east of Rheims is only accentuating their danger. The longer Ludendorff holds on, the worse it will be for him. THe only course open to Rim is to retreat.

The full story. of their hair-breadth escapes cannot be told for the mo- ment Suffice it to say, both men disguised themselves with false beards and travelled as common laborers of the lowest class They were, of course," entirely without passoorts or papers of any kind. Speaking Ruma- nian, and a good deal of Russian and French, as well as two or three Slav 'dialects. they tramped the whole dis- | tance from Rbmania to Stockholm Both came through without serious misadventure, thanks to their appear- ance of extreme hWumbleness and ob- vious harmlessness, At Stockholm their journey ended when they got in touch with the Allied ministry. These men told a correspondent hat they left Rumg%ia in a state of preme unrest owing to the conse- queyices set up by the peace conditions imposed on the country by the Ger- mans. The peasantry are a constant Préy to requisitions oh the part of the enemy, which are little less than fero- cioys, not only in Moldavia. but also in Bessarabia, where conditions are now much less supportable than dur ing the war. Disbanded soldiers have been refuseds permission to return. ! Thousands of Rufaniaf soldiers have been disbanded in Moldavia and turn- ed loose in the country, the Germans refusing systematically to allow them to return to their homes in the occu- pied parts of Rumania. They can find nothing to do in Moldavia and their condition is becoming serious. : Ukraine in Open Revolt. : The Ukraine, according to these met, who recently pasesd through it on foot, is in open revolt. A strike of railway workers has disorganized the entire transport system of the country for six weeks. The Germans are requisitioning the wheat through- out the country at the point of the bayonet. The harvest was got out by German troops under protection of machine guns. ing In Russia the peasantry refuse to sell food of any kind. Bread is non- grad. There are peasant uprisings everywhere, and these will apparently bring the Bolshevist regime to an end. The leaders of the Bolshevik are trying to persuade the people that intervention by the Allies is based on an effort to restore Czarism, and are making every effort to discredit France, England and America. Both Ggoa and Bocu insist upon the urgent need Yor Allied propaganda in Russia to counteract the lies the Germans are propagating. . . The German policy in Bessarabia is to provoke discontent against Ruma- nia by making constant forced requi- sition.' In the department of .Hotyu, which is 'under Austrian occupation, the enemy is making every efforts to hamper the administration by Ruma- pair. German paid agents cover thé whole of Bess- arabia, inciting the * people against Rumania. In spite of this, the feel- ing of friendliness toward Rumania is growing daily in Bessarabia. The only harmful elements are the reac tionary policy of the Marghiloman Government and the oligarchic ten- dencies of the great land owners. The effect, however, of these two elements is to cause the various popular tenden- cies both in Rumania dnd Bessarabia to draw 'closer together. Both Rumanian visitors agreed as long as ten, weeks ago. the ~r Appalling Conditions " Among Belgian Children Fate of Coming Generation Rests on Relief Work.
