A _. _ i Germany has acknowledged the receipt of president Wilson s last note in a Brief reply which is remarkable for the statement that the Mali hairy Powers have been subjected to thei. Control of the civil govern ment. Since that government was appointed directly by the Kaiser consultation of the people for which the machinery does not and has received Only the approval of a Reich Stag which has All along supported the Militarist there is probably Little actual restraint implied in the manoeuvre. The diplomatic political and Mili tary services of Germany Are All subservient to the Junker party which particular department has the formal supremacy would not appear to matter. The Allied leaders Are to meet on tuesday to discuss the terms of the armistice for which Germany has asked. The test of German sincerity will come those terms Are communicated. Meantime Ludendorff has resigned Hia command taken in conjunction with the alleged subordination of the military to the civil Power this might have some significance. But it is far More the resignation is the natural outcome of the failure which has attended Ludendorff plans and the disastrous results of his summer s campaigning. More important than the formal German note is the entry of British cavalry and armoured cars into Aleppo. This implies that the turks have no. Hope of holding the invaders from the line of the Bagdad rail Way. British forces under general marshal Are operating in the valleys of the Tigris and euphrates. In the former they have Corr fenced the season s activities by advancing to Kirkuk driving the turks before them. The last reports Froim the euphrates intimated that the British were encamped at hit. While general Allenby has reached Aleppo general marshals pushing his Way to Mosul. The cutting of the Bagdad railway should leave the turks South of the Taurus Range and East of Aleppo without option but to Retreat northward Over the mountains. Their retirement Westward would appear to have been effectually prevented and the two expeditions should have no difficulty in making a Junction. The capture of Aleppo is expected to bring the turkish government to the realization that further resistance is futile now that they Are virtually isolated from their allies who Are themselves too hard pressed to Send them assistance while the turks themselves will soon have to face a. New army on the european Frontier Northwest of constantinople. The movement for a separate peace should be hastened by general Allenby s rapid Advance toward the ground from which an invasion of Anatolia can be undertaken. On the Western front the resistance of the germans to be strenuous. On the Valenciennes front they have launched counter attacks which the British have repulsed without loss of the feature of yesterday s operations in France however was the offensive of the French first and tenth armies under general Debeney Between the Oise. And the Serre Rivers. From East of rib ement on the Oise to Crecy sur Serre at the Corner of the line in France notable Progress was made on a front of some 15 Miles. The depth gained in the French Advance was about five Miles and Many villages were recovered. The rapidity of the French Advance in. This sector and the stiffening of the German resistance in the Valenciennes District Are undoubtedly the enemy is being obliged to hold off the British in order to extricate the armies to the South before their Retreat is Cut off or its Pace unduly accentuated. The report that professor Dammasch declined the austrian Premier ship when informed by the emperor Charles that he had pledged his Honor not to make a separate peace throws an interesting Light on the relations Between the Kaiser and the emperor of Austria and their Peoples. It is an interesting though probably accidental commentary on the supposed ability of the Peoples of the Central empires to control the present situation.
