President Wilson has Interpreted
the much discussed article three of his
peace terms. Democratic Senators
Hitchcock and Simmons have letters
from.-htm In, which he explains that
article three does not mean free
trade, as some Republicans have con
tended, hut the prevention of future
economic war.
It-Will be recalled that article three
provides: - -
"The Temoval. so far as possible, of
,r,t all economic carriers and the estau-
j imnment 'oi an equality or iraae con
i dltlohs among all the nations consent
v 1ns to the peace and 'associating them-
, selves for itsmalntenance."

Paris, Oct. 28 Germany's armies
have begun a new retreat, mis time
between the Olse and the Alsne. Gen
eral Debenej. 's First Army, In the teeth
of stubborn resistance and repeated
pmintpr-attacks. has . succeeded in
swinging on its right flank so that
It faces east. It has reached Guise
and- the Guise Marie road, driving the
enemy before It. The Hundlng line
la reported to have been broken ,ln
the Guise region.
(Marie Is nn Important railway point
toward which Gepeial Mangln is press
ing east of the Serre.)
General Debeney now Is In position
to push rapidly along the upper Olse
valley toward Hlrson fortress and
Vervlns through a level country de
void of streams. The first result of
his progress Is to force the enemy
opposing .he Tenth and Fifth FJrencn
armies, exhausted by fruitless counter
attacks, to begin a backward move
ment which ls eventually bound to
extend to the front before Rethel.
This will open to the Fourth Army
a double -passage of the Alsno and
Ardennes Canal.
General Debeney's success was won
by sheer hard fighting. The Impor
tance the enemy attached to stop
ping this progress up to Olse may be
gathered from the fact that the Ger
mans jesterday threw In three fresh
divisions, which, however, wero
knocked out.
Numerous villages wero captured by
the French yesterday and an advance
of five miles made at certain points
between the Olse and Serre rivers.
General Mangln swept forward on a
fifteen-mllo front north of I-aon. .

States.
The President is aw arc of the
far-reaching changes which have
been carried out and arc being
carried out in the German consti

negotiations arc being conducted
by a people's government in whose
hands rests, both actually and con

the deciding conclusions.
The military powers are also

The German Government now

The attempt to brlhe a Juror In the

William A. Gray, chief counsel for

Judge Hnuse Is hearing the argumintB

tho refusal to ordej a mistrial :
"If Judge Hause was wrong then and

Stiff Cnrrrinonit'nt Biriifiin Public Ledger
(oinilfl)if, to IK, 1, Public Ledger Ca
Washington, Oct. 28
German is preparing to surrender.
That is the Belief in tho best In
foi med circles here. It is based' on
Ludendoi ft s retirement and on the
tone of Solf's note to President Wilson,
published this morning, and upon the
l elation apparently existing between
tho two. No one predicts the sur
render unhesltatlnglv.
There Is alwa.vs'the possibility that,
upon heating the terms for the ai
mlstlce. the present German Govern
ment may virtuously draw back and
cry out to tho people for a war of
defense. But no one diplomat or
politician thinks such a war could
last long. For the German Govern
ment to break off negotiations and set
tneir race toward war would be too
mucli like Mlllukoff's nnd Kerensky's
efforts to hold tho flagging spirits of
Russia up to fighting.
War Impossible for Germany
War of any duration has become
a miiuarj and moral impossibility
mi ucrinnny. inat is the view of the
Piesidenfs military advisers.
There Is qo question that a cessa
tlon of hostilities Is on the way; It is
only a question of Just when it will
come. '
Facts Are Guide-Posts
This Is not said in advocacy of peace
by this method, any more than a
weather prediction of rain is a prayer
for rain. It Is a statement of tho con
fident belief In the best-lnformed
circles In this capital. It is a deduc
tion from certain known facts, as, for
example, that the military position of
the Central Powers is impossible, that
their morale cannot be long sustained
against present pressure, that tile
President feels that. If he can effect
the end of militarism and secure a
complete confession of Its bankruptcy
without further loss of life, he must
do bo, and that he knows a vital sec
tion of Allied opinion demands peace
on such terms
In a word, the President and some
of his supporters abroad want peace
if all the substantial results of a pence
after a mllltarv decision can he obtain,
ed by Germany's political and military
sunender and Germany wants peace
to have the dynasty and whatever else
she can out of the wreckage, und
knows she must giant peace at the
point of the suotd In a few months,
come vv hut mav.
Out of such n stnte of mind peace
cannot fall to come, whatever gestures
may be made meanwhile by the nego
tiators, and whether we, that is, the
majoiity of Americans, think the best
ending of the war can be effected this
way or not.
AU Terms, Knowing Answer

note suggest a determination of sur

Placard for IlouiilwHl
Nell Bonner, president of tho liquor
men's association, is absent from the
city today, but at the hejulquarters In
the South Penn Square Building olhei
omclals made no attempt to conceal that
thej were for Bonnlwell.
A big placard with flaring red letters,
which was posted on the wall, urged
support of the Bonnlwell candidacy. It
proclaimed: "The Democratic nomlm o
for Governor Is In the open ogilnst the
Notions! Prohibition amendment It
nlso said: "The Kepubllcan nominee for
Governor has declared for It. and Is 'a
bone dry prohibitionist,' "
The same liquor men's officials denied
that 8100,000 had been nseFsed as tho
share of the Philadelphia retail liquor
dealers to "put Bonnlwell over."
They denied also sponsoring a letter
said to have lieen Bent nut to the 17BU
members of the assocl itlon asking for
Individual contributions tanging from
S25 to 8360.
These letters were sent out Irldaj,
the same day Vare-controlled cltj com
mittee threatened reprisals Tho letters
are understood to have carried the fclg
natures of Nell Bonner, president of
the association; James It Pearson,
chairman of the ej.ecutlve board; and
Edward Ludwlg, secretarj.
Anger was manifested around the
liquor men's headquarters over tho fact
that letters urging support of Bonnl
well had been credited to thtlr or
ganisation. '
A sample of the contents tvf thn let
ters follows: a
"CongresH has shown that the nom
ination of Borinlvvcll has shaken its de.
termination because It has postponed
war-tune prohibition until after elec
tion." I'rgro Cord Distribution
In requesting the distribution of curds
urging the support of Judge Bonnlwell
the letter snj-s;
"If every man whose money Invested
unit livelihood are In peril will expend
one dollar ot his money nnd rnelinur of
his time in mailing these cards, these
meddlers with personal freedom can be
overwhelmed In this Htate."
Both Major Smith mid Senator Vare
ma'de brief retorts to the attack by
Judge Bonnlwell.
''Whepever my personal, political or
official acts are publicly criticised by
any person of real, standing In this com
munity," ald the Mayor, "I will make
