London, Oct. 10.
Persistent rumors arc current In
Stockhold that Kaiser AVIlhclm has
abdicated, says a dispatch from the
Swedish capital today.
Reports arc in circulation that u
coup d'etat is likely In Germany in
case tho 'latest move for peace should
fail, according to a Central News dis
patch from Rome. Tho dispatch adds
that the end of the rule of the Holicn.
zollcrns and tho possible establishment
ot a republic in Germany arc pre
dicted to follow tho failure ot the Ger
man peace effgrt.
From Berlin today came extracts
from ti message of the Kaiser to the
German people. In which he Is reported
to have huld:
"The will for defenso must bend all
separate views into one great unity in
this gnwo hour. God grant us some
thing of spirit in this war of libera
tion." There was no indication of when
this outburst was made, but in view
of tho Kulser'd reported abdication the
Berlin dispatch evidently had been
ftelayed.
In oniclal circles in London the
rumor from Stockholm is not credited.'
Humors of the Kaiser's abdication or
Herious illness have been current in
Europe at various times. Recently the
Kaiser was said to be so 111 that he
was forced to cancel all engagements,
and a few days later lie wus reported
to be at Jlannhclm to make an address
und wns forced to take refuge In a
cellar during an Allied air raid.
In Paris a rumor was current yes
terday that Prince August Wilhulm
und not the, Crown Prlnco might bo
designated to succeed the Kaiser. It
whs also reported that Ludendorff was
virtually tha Emperor and that the
military was still in control of Ger
man affairs.

The groat Allied victory around

Tlmo presses upon Prlnco Max. Kor

Tho reply to Austria Is being delayed.
Austria addressed all tho Powers and
apparently tlmo Is being taken for an
exchange of views. The German noto
being addressed bolely to us was ,a
simple matter, and as Austria accepted
all of President Wilson's fourteen
points, the reply to Austria will natur
ally be slightly different from the reply
to Germany. At the most Austria can
only bo asljcd to retire from occupied
territory and perhaps bo questioned
about the nature of her Government.

I Disapproval

Policy Condemned as Under
mining World's Confidence
M'unliliiRton, Oct. 10. Spirited debate
on President Wilson's response to the
German peace offer began today when
tho Senate reconvened after a recess
since Monday. Senator Pittman, of Xe
vada, opened tho discussion by at
tacking Senator Lodge, of Massachu
setts, tho Republican leader, declaring I
Senator Lodto's mlblLMlcd statement
criticizing tho President's noto could
servo no good purpose.
Senator Pittman read Into the record ,
Senator Iodgc's statement nnd also that
of ltepresentntlvo Kess, of Ohio, chair-
i man of tho Ilcpubllean Congressional
Campaign Committee. erllleUlng the
note. He declared the minority leader
has misconstrued the note's meaning
and that such criticism would tend to
destroy tho confidence of the world In
the President ot tho United States.
"The press of the country and the
public understands the message and do
not concur with Senator Lodge In Ills
views," said tho Nevada Senator
"Tho construction given by tho Sena
tor from Massachusetts cannot possibly
servo any good public purpose, but. on
the contrary may lead the German
people and oven some of our cltlr.cns
who are not familiar with the facts to
believe that the President of tho United
States had receded from the positions
taken by hint In his inrss.ige to Congress
on January S, and In his speech delivered
In New Tor. and that ho Is now unduly
anxious to enter Into peace nigotlatlons
with the Imperial German Government.
See KtII Kfl'ect of Crltlelum
"The establishment of su'eh a convic
tion In the minds of the Ucrman people
and many or the citizens ot the United
States would deaden the enthusiasm and
zeal of our people nt home: would be
detrimental to the spirit and vigor ot
our own armies and the armlcj of our
allies In the Held, and would tend to
destroy the confidence of the world In
the President of tno United States,
whose tervice Is cstentlal to a lasting
nnd Just peace.
"Tho President did not "enter Into a
discussion with the Imperial German
Government.' He expressly htated that
ho would not reply mtll tho note was
made more definite In certain particulars.'
Me further polnUdly-asked whether-ttw
imperial Government was ready to ac
cept his terms for a lasting t.nd Just
peace. If they answer in tho affirmative
and proceed Immediately to carry out
all of these conditions, the war will be
won as fully and completely as It Is
possible to win It. If the answer Is in
tho negative or equivocal, then the reply
of tho President will undoubtedly be
only a repltlon of a reference to the
demands he has heretoforcm ade."

policies and methods pronounced by the
President.
"In tho Piesldcnt'a address to Con
gress on January S he laid down defi
nitely and specifically a program for
world peace, embracing fourteen distinct
points," ho continued. "Tills program
was agreed to and adopted by all of our
Allies and received the. hearty approval
of all of the neutral countries of the
world. Yet It did not satisfy the Sena
tor from Massachusetts. In tho United
States Senato on August 23 ho laid down
his own program for world victory. The
spirit that tho two programs breathe Is
as different us mlgjit Is from Justice.
Tho program of the' Senator from Mas
sachusetts means war for victory, re
venge nnd advantage, while the program
of tho President means war for victory,
Justice and everlasting peace.
t "Tho opposition of any statesman of
the Senator's great ability and learning
to tho efforts cf the President of the
United States, upon whom the dut) de
volves to successfully conduct thld war
and bring about a lasting peace, would
have' Its effect; but when that states
man Is the leader of the Republican
party In tho United States and by virtue
cf that position In tho United States,

becomes a matter of grave concern tu

forced their way through Cunel Wood,
which was bristling with machine
guns. This success made it easier to
storm the JIamelle trench of the
Kricmhlld-Stcelung line b), sweeping
away the Hanking (ire which had pre
viously rendered Its capture so difficult.
.storm JIamelle llefeme
Complete reports show that the Ma
mello fortifications have been captured
by the Americans. To do It the troops
had to storm the redoubtable Hill 2C9.
which was taken as early as 10 o'clock
yesterday morning. Hill 203 was cap
tured a half hour later. The advance
hero had been momentarily checked by
llerco resistance and tho stlffest kind of
inachlno-gun lire, but tho Americans had
to resolutely gone after their objective
and the advance artillery tiring had been
so complete that nothing could stop
them. .
More than 1S00 prisoners had been
counted up to late in the afternoon.
These were confined In the cages and
more were coming In. From a strategic
point of view the victory was inoro Im
portant than at first appeared. From
just north of Uomagne and east and
west of tho point carried by tho Amer
ican troops there Is nothing but level
ground and no more serious enemy for
tifications to encounter.
Ideal conditions for the Americans are
In prospect, and the Germans have lost
a large part of their strength thefr tre.
mendous fortifications and concrete pill
boxes.
ID-hour lloinbarduifiit
After nn Intense nlncteeti-hour bom
bardment, which nearly destroytd and
shattered tho German defenses, the
American Infantry began Its advance at
3:30 o'clock. All along the front a
heavy mist was hanging nnd aerial ob
servers were unable to report for sev
eral liours whether tho attack wus a
success or a failure.
The first reports that began to strng.
glo In before noon told of the success
of the engineers, who were on the cov
eted Hill 209, which they declared they
could hold against any 0rmau attuclc
