October 8 Marshal Ton Ulndenburg sent the following letter to the German chancellor: The High Command insists on Its demand of September 29, for the Immediate forwarding of an offer of pence to onr enemies , , . There is now no longer any possible - hope of forcing peace upon tbe enemy, . . . Tbe situation grows more desperate every day end may force the High Command to grave decisions. . . The chancellor yielded, and October 5 telegraphed, through the Swiss government to President Wilson ; Tha German govern ment rethe President of tha quests United States to take In hand the restoration of peace, acquaint all belligerent " states with this request, and Invite them to send plenipotentiaries for opening negotiations. It accepts the .program set forth by the President In hla message to congress January 8, and jn bla later, addresses, especially the speech of September 27, as a basis for peace negotiations. With a view to avoiding further bloodshed, the German government requests the immediate conclusion of an armistice on land and water and In the air. (Signed) Max, Prince Von Baden. . Imperial Chancellor. The Presidents reply waa not satisfactory to the German government and tha exchange of notes continued until finally the Germans accepted the very frank, statement by the President conveyed In a State department message October 23, that the nations of the world do not and cannot trust the word of those who have hitherto been tbe masters of German policy, and that the government of the United Meuee-Argon- Oasperate Fighting In tha Argonne. the capture of those woods On division the 11th, the Twenty-ninttook command of Its brigade, brigade, its still nnder tbe French Eighteenth division, on the 12th made Impor-tant gains In the Bois dOrmont In conjunction with the operah Fifty-eight- h Fifty-sevent- h tions by the French Seventeenth corps, the Fifth corps (Cameron) attacked In force October 9 and continued Its efforts the next two flays Tha Third division (Buck) progressed on the 9th, and after Berea' fighting Seized Madeleine farm, which had previously proved stumbling block, and .partly cleared the Bols de CuneL The following day It completed the capture of that wood and on the 11th extended Its gains to the northwest.

The until then . continued advance stopped on Hill 288 and the Cote Dame Marie. The division was relieved the night of October 11. Tbe First division (Sumroerall), In a resolute attack, raptured the difficult enemy positions on and near Hill 272 on tha 9th, and established Its line on the 10th north of the Cote de Maldah. Jt also was relieved on the 11th. During the operations of the Oth andt 10th, the One Hundred and Elghty-firobrigade (John B. McDonald) division was atof the Ninety-firs- t tached to the First division, being dl transferred to the Thirty-seconvision on the night of the 10th. The advance of the Third corpe (Bullard) was bitterly contested by the enemy, but October 10 the Fourth division (Hines) fought lta a way forward beyond the road. Two determined assault! against the Bols de 1eut de Faux were broken up, but on the third attempt the northern edge of that wood was attained. The division gained the far side of the Bols de Foret on tbe 11th against severe opposition. The Eightieth division- - ( Croak bite) on tbe 9th, In the face of very heavy fire, pushed forward to a short distance north of the Bols des Ogona. The divisions attack continued, and when relieved two tine daya later It bad reached slightly south and cast of CuneL On the front of the First corps (Liggett) the opposition encountered on the 10th was less deterdivimined, and the Eighty-seconsion (Duncan) by midnight had established Its line beyond Marctj, while the line pf the Seventy-seventdivision (Alexander) ran westward from there. On tbe 11th, however, the fighting was severe, yet the Eighty-seconregardless-oheavy casualties, advanced to a position north of Sommersnce. This town, though In the sector of the First occupied by the division, ws to protect Its own Eighty-secondank. - " Tbe night of October 11 our line ran from east to west roughly aa follows: Mollevllle farm Bols de Is Cota Lemon t part of Bola de Foret south of Cote" Dams Marls Sommersnce Grandpre. While these operations on our First afiny front were In progress, the Thirtieth division of the Sec- ond corps (Bead) attacked Octod should strive all the nor vigorously to hasten. The enemys strong, defenses In the Bols de llomagne and the Bols de Bantbeville bad to be reduced before further considerable progress could be made. To the west heights we faced the strongly fortified position which Included Cote de Chatillon-Landree-Sdes Georges SL Juvtn-Bol- a Loges and Grandpre. Our attacks on the 14th, 15th and 16th In conjunction with Gourauda French Fourth array met violent opposition, especially at the beginning. and although ground waa often taken and retaken several times, our tinea were steadily pushed forward. East of the Meuse, In the French Seventeenth corps the Sixty-fiftbrigade ( Edward L. King) of the division had made Thirty-thir- d some progress, and the Twenty-nint- h division, despite the difficult terrain and severe casualties, had entered woods northof Mollevllle farm. The Fifth division, In tbe face of Intense fire oh Us front and flanks, on the 14tb reached the top of the slopes northeast of Rornagne and cleared the wood north of Cunel. Elements of the division pushed through to tbe northern edge of tbe Bols dee Rappee, but were withdrawn. By dint of the superior deter mlnation of our troops, the enemys lines were broken at a vital point by tb Fifth corps. Cota Dame Marla Taken.

It became more end more evident that the time soon must come when w should have to consider terms and conditions under which hostilities might cease. Tha discussion of armistice terms in a general way by tha allies bad In fact begun. In a conversation I had with Marshal Focb October 13 be spoke ef the notes exchanged between the Germans and President Wilson, and expressed some apprehension about how far the President might commit the aUlea, He said be hoped the President would not become Involved In a long correspondence and allow himself to be doped by tbe Germans, and added that so far Mr. Wilson bad sot consulted the allies. 1 .replied that we need have ne fear on that score, ae of course Mr. Wilson would not act alone. I this discussion I gained the Impression that Foch favored demanding tb surrender of the German armies. At my request Col Lloyd Grts-cocabled me tbe views of Lord Milner and Gen. 8Ir Henry Wilson for tb 'British. Briefly, Lord Milner said that be occupied a middle position between those demanding unconditional surrender end those who wanted peace Immediately on the beef term possible. Ha thought an armistice should be granted only on condition that Germany lay down her heavy guns and give some naval guarantee such as the possession of Heligoland. General Wilson doubted whether It would be possible to indict crashing victory before winter, as the British army was very tired and the French more so, and the Americans nof yet prepared to nae their great force, but be thought armistice conditions should make It Impossible for Germany to resume operations. The First army was a tried and seasoned force equal to the best on the. western frontat the time 1 turned It over to the immediate command of Major General Liggett. In order that tbe army might understand the value of Its recent achievement! and realise tbe urgency of continued vigorous effort, I aent the following message to the new army commander October IT to be transmitted as a telegram to corps and dl vision commanders: "Now that Germany and tha central powers are losing, they . ' are begging for an armistice. Their request Is an acknowledgment ef- - weakness and clearly . means that the allies are winning tbe war. That la the best of reasons for our pushing tha war m.ore vigorously at this momenL Germanys desire Is only to gain time to restore order among ber forces, but she must be given no opportunity to rera- - -perate and we must strike harder than ever. Our strong blows are telling, and contin- ued pressure by ua has com-- . pelled tbe enemy to meet ns, enabling our allies to gain on other parts of the tine. There - cb be no conclusion of this, war until Germany la brought -- to her knees. The enemys most Important defensive position on the Rornagne heights was In our firm possession, and his final defeat waa only a question of time. He had fought desperately to hold bis ground, but had been compelled to give way steadily before our effective blows. We could have gone forward without special preparation and succeeded In driving the enemy from the field, but tbe situation led to the conclusion that his defeat could best be accomplished by one powerful stroke by a writ organised . offensive. The difficult and continuous offensive from September 26 bad been very trying on our troops and had resulted in a certain loss of cohesion. It was, therefore, deemed advisable to take a few days for the replacement of tired troops, the renewal of supplies, and the Improvement of communications. Franeh Delay Attack. October 28 was tentatively designated for the beginning of the oext general advance, the fourth e offenphase of the sive, but the French army, which was to support our attack on tbe left, could not get ready In time, so the attack of both armlea waa fixed . for November L- - In accordance with my Instructions on October 16, two Important preliminary operation were carried out during this period. (1) operations against the Bols des Loges and Bola de Bourgogne to dear tbe woods east of the Alsne and north of tbe Aire and thus flank that part of tbe boqtlle line on the Alsne, and (2) local operations to secure a suitable line of departure for th general attack. e battle During the my personal quarters were on fry train, which lay partially hidden In tba wood on a spur near SouUly. While there I spent portion of each day at official headquarters giving directions regarding operation and deciding other Important I usually occupied the questions rest of the day st tbe front In close touch with corps and divisions Although. I bad now relinquished the Immediate command of the First army. Its activities and those of the Second army, carried out under my direction, required close supervision.
