This seemed to be the first impression of thinking Frenchmen, after President Wilson's ultimatum-like note. Either Germany must chuek the Kaiser and the whole im- perialistic gang, or there will be no armistice and no peace, un- til Marshal Foch's sword forec- es an unconditional sdrrender from Von Hindenburg. WITH BRUTAL FRANKNESS THE PRESIDENT POSES This Is the View a Berlin Pa- per Takes of the Leader's Boxing Style, Amsterdam, Oct. 28.--Although the German newspapers are not satisfied with President Wilson's atest note, many of them say that it means progress towards peace. This feeling was reflected in the opera- tions on the Berlin Stock Exchange in an advance in prices. 'The Kronz Zeitung of Berlin, however, ap- parently does not look for an early ending of the war. This newspaper, which hitherto has refrained from opposing President Wilson's de- mand, advotates the war to the end. It says, "The President," in the style' of an Ameritan boxer, "has posed himself for a last blow in the face of the German people, express- ing his intentions with brutal frank- ness. C.P.R.

It is due to Dr. Solf, German foreign secretary, to say that his note is precisely what the occasion demanded." "If peace, as the new posture of Germany warrants us in believing, is coming within reach," the news- Paper continues, "there must be no delay in taking steps to end nos- tilities. There is no justification in figliting on dor what can be had for the asking. The terms of the armis- tice must be rigoreus, put must not be needlessly so."

(Canadian Press Despatch) Paris, Oct. 28 --Germany's arm- ies have begun a new retreat, this time between . the Oise and the Aisne. General Debeny's first army in the teeth of stubborn resistance and repeated counter-attacks has succeeded in swinging on the right flank so -that it faces east. It has reached Guise und Guise-Matle road, driving the enemy before it. General Debeney is mow in a posi- tion to push:rapidly along the up- per Oise valley toward Hirson and Vervins through level-eountry .de- void of streams. The first result of this progress is to force the enemy opposing the 10th and 5th French armies, ex- pausted by fruitless counter-at- tacks, to begin a backward move- ment which is eventually bound to extend to the front before Rethel. This will open to the 4th army a double passage of the Aisne and the Ardennes canal. Gensral Deben- ey's success was won by sheer hard figiiting. The importance the en- emy attached -to stopping this pro- Eres the Olse may be gathered from Be that the Germans yes terday "threw in three fresh 'divi- gions, which, howdver, were knock- ed out.
