A sweeping bulletin covers WWI developments including Wilson and Lansing comments on peace and liberty bonds, troop mobilizations, crop prospects, and Allied advances. Reports detail German withdrawals, British and American actions, ship torpedoings, and collapsing fronts from the Aisne to the Meuse with pivotal troop losses and political resignations shaping the crisis.
Edward Pickard reports on the Cambrai breakthrough where Foch’s drive breaches the Hindenburg line, villages fall, and German retreats accelerate from Verdun to the Meuse. He notes Wilson’s cautious armistice stance, allied unity for unconditional surrender, and the broader war scene including American and Serbian advances and Turkish turmoil.
A German note reportedly accepting President Wilson's terms is considered dangerous to misread as an unconditional surrender. Officials warn the public and allies to doubt immediate hostilities end and stress Britain France and other Entente powers must approve any armistice or detailed terms before peace moves proceed.
Secretary Baker said the Liberty loan must go over the top regardless of peace proposals. He described his trip as paving the way for broader war measures and urged full speed with troops and supplies to ensure victory. He praised the soldiers and urged nationwide support until victory is secure.
In Duluth and nearby areas a fire catastrophe leaves about 500 dead and thousands homeless. Property loss runs into millions as entire timber regions burn. 75 victims are in Duluth morgues and many more head toward Duluth and Superior seeking safety.
Washington reports that acceptance of any degree of Germany’s reply to Wilson’s note, including armistice, would spell loss of the war for the Allies. Senator Lodge, minority leader, said the unofficial note is not a surrender, countering views of McAdoo and others.
