YANKEE TROOPS FACE HOT FIRE IN SEDAN DASH Artillery and Machine Gun Fighting Mark Drive of Yankees in Night AVlth tlie American Forces on the Sedan Front, Nov. 9.—The Ameri can army east of the Meuse contin ued to advance to-day despite strong machine gun' resistance. The Amer icans went ahead in this region "both north and south of Dnmvillers. Along the line of the Meuse, on the front from Sassey to Marlincourt last night was marked hy artillery and machine gun fighting. The roads leading eastward from Sedan, Stenay. Conflans and Long-! uyon are reported by the American aviators to be packed with cannon and various vehicles making in the ( direction of Metz. Vehicles are laden with everything portable. The Americans have moved so far forward Into the bills east of the Meuse that their front Is far longer than originally intended. In addl-j tlon they have bad to protect their j constantly lengthening right flank; against the enemy wedge as they nd- j vanoed on to the heights, until the; front was abnormally long. But now the unit has found Urno, to swing southward In a brief, swift; march and mop up the river hank, i driving the Germans from their last strongholds at the diffcult bend in the stream. Thus the Americans! have secured their liason with the, Franco-American troops to the oast'l and Infinitely strengthened the pos sibilities of a further udvanre. One American division east of the| Meuse reports a gas nnd high ex- j plosive bombardment of unusual In-; tensity. West of the Meuse the da) | continued to produce little activity, save that displayed by machine gun and artillery. Though, ""all other developments are oventhadowed hy the entry of) the Americans into the western por-j tion of Sedan, the capture of Vilosnes and Slvry was an achievement not j only of Importance, hut an additional! testimonial to the value of those troops who battled their way across the Meuse.

TO HAGGLE FOR BETTER TERMS Kaiser Perhaps Appearing For Last Time as Hun Su preme War Lord Washington, Nov. 9.—The ques tion of whether Germany will sur render immediately, or wait to be crushed between the advancing al lied and American armies on the west front and revolution at home, rested late last night with an extra ordinary conference at German great headquarters. Marshal Foch has given until 11 o'clock Monday morn ing, Paris time, for the answer. Kuiscr Defies Civilians At the conference the Kaiser is reported to bo, perhaps appearing for the last tinie as supreme war lord, and, according to German wire less reports, defying the civilians who ure seeking through submission to the inevitable to save something out of the wreck of an empire. A courier was duo some time during the night with the text of the Amer ican and Allied armistice terms, hamled to the German envoys be hind the Allied lines hy Marshal Foch. lie carried the word, sent ahead by wireless, that the Allied commander-in-chief had refused a provisional cessation of hostilities [Continued on Pago .] and demanded an answer within seventy-two hours. The American government was advised from Paris late yesterday of the reception of tlie Germans ty Marshall Foch at 10.35* o'clock in tlie morning and its result. Secretary Lansing immediately made tlie news public at the State Department. Later unofficial information of the movements of the German courier ynd knowledge of the difficult roads over which he must travel for one hundred miles after leaving the Al lied lines, led to the conclusion that he could not get back with a reply before to-morrow even if not kept waiting for a decision. Eiul Must Conic Quickly In the meantime tin* result Is waited here with entire confidence and calm. American and Allied mili tary men say tlie end must come quickly one way or the other; that if the Germans are unable to agree among themselves and accept the Allied terms the problem will be settled for them with no great de that a final effort to quibble with hostilities stopped is ended, on the theory that even tlie Kaiser himself must realize that unless peace is made quickly there will be no gov ernment in Germany to make it. Revival in New York, and else where of the premature peace dem onstrations started by the false re port of the signing of the armistice led President Wilson to direct Secre tary Lansing to announce that as soon as any decision in regard to the armistice was reached it woulld he made public immediately by the government and that any statement that news regarding this event was being withheld was utterly false. Envoys Have Full Power An interesting question was raised hy the statement in the report to the American government on which Sec retary Lansing based his statement that the German envoys came with full powers. Since the delegates did not use lull powers either to sign or reject the terms and instead re ferred them to Grand headquarters, it was regarded here as certain that they came with the hope of accom plishing something more than the signuture of an armistice. It was be lieved their purpose was to inject matters which can be considered only at the peace conference. It lias been made very clear, how ever, and emphasized in official dis patches from France that Marshal Foch's powers were limited strictly to the drastic military program pre scribed by the Supreme War Coun cil at Versailles.
