London— The sinking of the Japan-
ese steamship Hlrano Maru the U S
ehip Tlconderoga and the Dublin mail
boat Leinster mark incidents ot a new
submarine campaign It is noticeable
also that renewed submarine activ-
ity became apparent In various di-
rections apparently along the routes
followed by steamers carrying Ameri-
can troops
Approximately 1000 lives have been
lost by the sinking ot the great ves-
sels without warning recently by the
German U-boats
On the steamer Tlconderoga an
American ship which was torpedoed
1700 miles off the American coast
there were 250 men aboard All but
twenty are supposed to have perished
The Hlrando Maru a tlg Japanese
ship was outward bound from a Brit-
ish port when torpedoed 300 miles
south of Ireland She carried 400 pas-
sengers Only thirty were picked up
The LeinBter an Irish mall steam-
er was caught In the channel and
sunk without warning carrying prob-
ably 300 souls down
All three vessels were sunk with-
out warning and apparently every ef-
fort was made to destroy all on board
without leaving a trace
Hundreds Lost On Leinster
Belfast— Hundreds of lives were
lost when the mail steamer Leinster
was torpedoed and sunk in the Irish
fiea Two torpedoes were fired at
the steamer One struck near the
bow and the steamer sank In fifteen !
minutes

women and children numbered 687
and the boat carried a crew of seventy
Blx hundred may be lost
Survivors said the submarine fired
Paris — The entire German front
from St Gobain to tbe Argonne has
cracked on a slxty-mlle front and it
now appears that the enemy will be
forced to retreat to a depth ot Borne
thirty miles before finding a suitable
line ot defense At tbe best his posi-
tion will be menaced at Its flanks on
the Oise to the Sambre canal from
Ribemont to Landrecles which lines
are very near the Belgian frontier
There will be nothing here like the
enemy's strong defenses on the Hin-
denburg line
Lson tbe last of tbe group of nat-
ural obstacles forming the keystone
of tbs German defenses In France has
been taken without a fight
Tbe German stronghold of La Fere
together with a great part of the St
Gobain massif ot which La Fere was
a northerly outpost at the Oise has
been captured by the French
- Tbe La Fere-Laon railway line has
been crossed on the high ground be-
tween Danlzy and Verlsgny about two
and one-half miles east of La Fere
The northern and eastern sections
ot La Fere are burning
Notable progress hag been mad by
the Italians and French along the line
to the east where the French have
reached Amifontalne which Is fifteen
miles north of Rhelms
Forests Cover Hun Retreat
The Germans are expected to cover
their retreat as usual with the best
of tbe natural defenses the country af-
fords the principal enemy asset in
the present Instance being the forests
in the area of the backward move-
ment Between the Oise and Borry-ou-Bac
the seventh German army has been
forced to abandon the line of the All-
ette retiring its right in the forest of
St Gobain In the Champagne Gen-
eral Gourand Is continuing bis terrific
onslaughts on his disorganized ad-
versary No Chance To Reorganize
For seventeen consecutive days Gen-
eral Gouraud's men have been pound-

cers took possession at Plrtlevllle a
suburb of nearly 1000 cases ot whisky

two torpedoes without warning from
about 150 yards
A British Port— The Japanese
steamship Hirano Marti of 7935 tons

The Hlrano Maru was outward
bound for Japan and carried about
400 passengers The vessel was tor-
pedoed and sunk by a German sub-
marine 300 miles south ot Ire'and
The few survivors who were picked
up by the American torpedo boat des-
troyer Sterrett have been brough here
They declare that the torpedo struck
the steamer In the forward engine
room
Providentially the commander of
the American destroyer Serrett heard
the explosion and steered his vessel
tor the point whence It came He
found the ship had disappeared and
be saw a mass ot people straggling
In the water
While the American destroyer Ster-
rett was engaged in the work of pick-
ing up the men and women strug-
gling in the water the German sub-
marine fired two torpedoes at the war
ship Both missies happily missed
their mark
Another American Vessel Caught
New York— Scores of American
sailors and so'dlers were killed or
wounded by shrapnel fired by a Ger-
man submarine after It bad torpedoed
the steamship Tlconderoga 1700 miles
off tbe Atlantic Coast according to
the story told by twenty survivors
who were picked up by a British
freighter
There were 250 men aboad the Tl-
conderoga an American steamship of
6130 tons and all but the twenty
who arrived here are believed to have
perished The survivors got away in
the only boat which was not de-
molished by the shell fire from the
submarine
"Our gun crews did not fire more
than five or six shots” one of the sur-
vivors said: "The forward gun was
shot away almost at once Tbe after
gun and its crew was done for almost
as quickly Then the men went to
the boats but It was no use as the
flying shrapnel was spraying -the
decks and men fell in scores either
killed or badly wounded"
Seventeen of tbe men who reacbed
port were members of a detachment
of soldiers detailed to care for horses
which were being transported '
of the great objectives On their front
Virtually all the German line is in
movement and there seems now to be
no chance for the enemy to reorganize
his forces for resistance
The British are within a few hun-
dred yards of Doual They have cap-
tured the Foubourg d’Esquershln the
Doual prison and the greater part ot
Flers close to Doual on the northwest

Wilson’s
President Wilson's reply to the German chancellor's note addressed to
and transmitted through ths Swedish charge d affairs Is as follows:
'Tho unqualified acceptance by the present German government and
by a large majority of the relchatag of the terms laid down by the president
of the United States of America In his nddre“H to tue congress of the
United States on the 8th day of January 1918 and In his subsequent
address justifies the president In making a frank and direct statement
of his decision with regard to the communications of the German govern-
ment of the 8th and 12th of October 1918
"It must be clearly understood that the prores of evacuation ana the
conditions of an armistice are matters ahich'must lio left to the Judgment
and advice of the military advisers of the government of the United States
and the allied governments and the president feels It his duty to say no
arrangements can be accepted by the government of the United States
which does not provide absolutely satisfactory safeguards and guarantees
of the maintenance of the present military supremacy of the armies of the
United Stntes and the allies in the field '
"He feels confident that he can safely assume that this will also be the
judgment and decision of the allied governments
"The president feels that It is hla duty to add that neither the govern-
ment of the United Staten nor he Is quite sure the governments with which
the government of the United States le associated aa a belligerent will
consent to consider an armistice so long as the armed forces of Germany
continue the Illegal and Inhuman practices which they still persist In At
the very time that the German government approaches the government
of the United States with proposals of peace Its submarines are engaged
In sinking passenger ships at sea and not the ahlpa alone but the very
boats In which passengers and crews seek to make their way to safety
and In their present enforced withdrawal from blander and Franre the
German armies are pursuing a course of wanton destructon which has
always been regarded aa In direct violation of the rules and practices of
civilised warfare Citlee and villages If not destroyed are stripped of all
they contain not only but often of their very Inhabitants
“The nations associated against Germany cannot be expected to agree
to a cessation of arms while net of Inhumanity spoliation and deaolutlon
are being continued which they justly look upon with horror and with
burning hearts
"It la necessary also In ordsr that there may be no possibility of
misunderstanding that the president should very solemnly call the attention
of the government of Germany to the language and plain Intent of the
terme of peace which the German government -has now accepted It i
contained In the address of the president delivered at Mount Vernon on
th Fourth of July last
"It la aa follows
" ‘The destruction of every arbitrary power anywhere that can separately
secretly and of Ita own choice disturb the peace of the world or If It
cannot be presently destroyed at leaat its reduction to virtual Impotency'
“The power which has heretofore controlled the German nation Is of
the sort hers described It Is within the choice of the German nation to
alter It The president' words just quoted naturally constitute a condition
precedent to peace If peace la to come by the action of the German people
themselves The president feels bound to say that ths whole process of
peace will In hla judgment depend upon the definiteness and the satisfactory
character of the guarantees which can be given In this fundamental matter
It Is indespenslble that the governments associated against Germany should
know beyond a peradventure with whom they are dealing
"The president will make a separate reply to the royal and Imperial
government of Austria-Hungary
"Accept sir tha renewed assurance of my high consideration
tSIgned) "ROBERT LANSING”
PRESIDENT SENDS HIS FIN-
AL ULTIMATUM TO THE
KAISER’S GANG
ALLIES DON’T WANT A DEBATE
Term of Surrender Will Be Arranged
By Foch and All the Hun Will
Have To Do With Them Will
Be To 8ign Hie Name
Washington — President Wilson hae
answered Germany's peace proposal
with a decision which not only fulfills
the expectations of supporters of his
diplomacy but also dispels the fears
of those who predicted he would sub-
stitute victories at arms with defeats
at diplomacy j -
No peace with kalaerlsm autocracy
must go no armistice can even be
thought of while Germany ' continues
her atrocities on land and sea one
cannot be considered unless it fully is
dictated by the allied commanders In
the field in such terms sb absolutely
provide safeguards and guarantees
that Germany’s part will not be a
scrap of paper This In a few words
la the president’s answer
If It does not bring a capitulation
which may be more than an uncondi-
tional surrender allied diplomats and
American officials believe it may
cause a revolution in Germany
The dispatch of the president's re-
ply was followed by the Issue of this
formal statement at the White House
by Secretary Tumulty:
"The government will continue to
send over 250000 men with their sup-
plies every month and there will be
no relaxation of any kind”
People Mutt Give Up Kaiser
Mr Wilson according to this view
has now finally informed the German
people that If they want peace they
can only attain It by getting rid of
the kaiser and hla system
An armistice It is true might come
first and the details of the downfall
ot the German autocratic government
be arranged later But this is what an
armistice would entail:
First a atop to the atrocities on
land and sea and the systematic des-
truction and devastation In tbe wake
or the retreating German armies
Then the disarmament of all the Ger-
man forces and the deposit ot their
arms and munitions at points to be
chosen by the allied -military' com-
manders Then tbe occupation by
allied forces of certain German cities
and strongholds ot atragetlc import-
ance Probably also the occupation
of all submarine bases and turning
over of the German fleet
To Break Military Power
In short It would entail a taking
from Germany of everything with
which she might break her word to an
armistice I
From that point the United States
and the allies might proceed to dis-
pose of all that remained ot kalaerlsm
if the German people have not done It
May Invade Germany Next
Washington — The smashing vic-
tory of the Angla-Apierlcan forces
north' ot St Quentin nmy be paving
the way for early invasion of GerMany
Itself Striking hints of a wholly new
enterprise directed i tho upper Rhine
valley have come from unofficial
quarters in France and they fol'ow re-
peated repqrts from Switzerland that
the civil population of the Rhine val-
ley towns were being removed The
'nvaelon would start from the Alsace
sec:cr
Answer
before aa President W'flaon in hit
note plainly invites them to do
Kalear Personally Guilty
While nowhere in the notes does th
president openly join with the en
tente statesmen In the demand tha
the "chief criminals” must be deliv
ered up for trial the president's con
fldants point out that he plainly aub
scribes to the doctrine that the gull
of bringing on the world war la per
aonal
It will be noted that the president
completely rejects the German aug
geation for a mixed commission to at
range an exacuatlon and reminds th
militarists that they will accept th
terms laid down by Marshal Foch am
the associated commanders that the
will have no part in framing them Ht
makes It plain that be does not accept
the new German government headei
by Chancellor Maximilian aa anythini
less autocratic anything leas a creat
ure of German militarism than iti
predecessors and warns tbe Germai
people that unlese they destroy It th
allied armies will do so
One of the most Important points ol
hla note la that in which he acknowl
edges the present German govern
ment'a unqualified acceptance of hit
peace terms and then goes on to shoe
that these terms provide speclficallj
for the substitution of a governmen
wholly respenslble to the German peo
pie themselves for the present on
dominated by the German militarists
Tbe second German note to whlct
the president’s note la an answer wai
aa follows:
“In reply to the questions of the
president of the United States of
America the German government
hereby declares:
"The German government has ac-
cepted the terms laid down by Presi-
dent Wilson In hla address of January
8 and In hla subsequent addresses on
the foundation of a permanent peace
of justice i
"Consequently Its obpect In enter
log into discussions would be only to
agree upon practical details of the ap-
plication of these terms The Ger
man government believes that the
governments of the powers associated
with the government of the United
States also take the position taken by
President Wilson in hla address The
German: government In accordance
with the Austro-Hungarian govern-
ment for the purpose of bringing
about an armstlce declares itsell
ready to comply with the propositions
of the president In regard to evacua-
tion The German government sug-
gests that the president may occasion
the meeting of a mixed' commission
for making the necessary arrange
ments concerning the evacuation
The present German government
which has undertaken the responsi-
bility for this step towards peace has
been formed by conferences and In
agreement with the great majority ol
the relchatag The chancellor sup-
ported in all of hla actions by the will
ot this malorlty speaks In tbe name
of the German government and of the
German people"
