Notwithstanding the fact that the abdication of Emperor William is gener- ally believed to be conditional upon any terms of an armistice, and the further fact that the majority parties in Germany have demanded that he quit the throne and that the crown prince renounce his right to succession, the emperor has refused to retire. On the battlefields the Germans everywhere are being harried backward to their borders.

To the south of Valenciennes the British have taken Avesnes, another Important railroad Junction point, and all along the front have pushed the Germans farther east. Maubeuge is being advanced upon by the British. The French again have cut deeply into the enemy's front.

More prisoners and large additional quantities of war stores have been taken by the French.

Departure Marked by Desire to Leave Desolation Behind Them, Everything Portable Being Carried Away by Teutons. With the Army in France. Buzancy, the largest of towns delivered by the Americans, reflects the spirit of the vindictiveness displayed by the Germans when they are forced to abandon a region they have held for any considerable time. The town had been alFrench most wholly Germanized. civilians had disappeared a long time ago, and the signs over the shops were all In German. Ou the streets and avenues such names as Wllhelmstrasse had been substituted for those in French. There was evidence that the Germans had carried on the usual activities In the municipality, but with complete contempt for previous conditions and with a desire to wipe out any suggestion as to those who had formerly lived there. Their departure, however, was marked as in few other cases, by a desire to leave desolation behind them. From end to end the streets of the town and the houses reek with the stench of filth wilfully distributed. The place was a scene of loot, wanton destruction and enfoul-men- t, but whether the work was carried out by order is not known. All such things, as were portable are gone from the town. Heavy furniture, including mahogany tables, wardrobes and pianos, was broken to bits and left In the houses. Interior decorations were irreparably mutilated. It was not simply a garrison comestablished in munity the Germans Buzancy, although the town recently was army headquarters. One of the houses bore an inscription indicating it was used as a rest house or club house for women. In a store were found magazines, many of them devoted to fashions. HUNS MUST CONFESS DEFEAT. Frenah High Commissioner Predicts Terms of Armistice. Washington. In answering terms of armistice to be submitted by allies and the United States, Germans "must say whether they confess they are beaten," Andre Tardleu, French high commissioner to the United States, declared in a statement Sunday. "Should they confess it," said Com missioner Tardieu, "the war will end through acceptance of our conditions. Should they not, we shall enforce that acceptance by means of a last resort, the outcome of which can not be doubt ful." 1 I J California Man Missing. Ottawa.
