"KEEP MOVING"

ARE ORDERS TO GERMAN FORCES Hindenburg Says He Approves Peace MoveDuty to Support Government. (By Associated Press) WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE. Oct. 24. Field Marshal von Hindenburg, in an orderto German officers in the field, referring to negotiations (or an armistice, declares he approves the peace moves and Is obliged to support the government. He asks that the confidence reposed In him in the days of success be continued. The German crown prince, in an order to, the group of armies under his command, reminds the officers of the responsibility they incur when they lose a position or modify the line in any way without orders. Copies )f these documents have fallen Into the hands of the French. - Admits ."Profound Impression." "Political events of the last few days," Von Hindenburg says, "have produced the most profound impression upon the army, notably upon the officers. It is my duty to support the government Instituted by his majesty. "1 approve the steps taken toward peace. The German army has a superiority over all others in that the J troops and officers have never enV gaged in politics. We desire to adf here to that principle. I expect that the confidence that waB accorded me in the days of success will bo all the stronger now." , y The order of the rown prince is short. It says: "The exchange of diplomatic notes gives me the occasion to recall my order according to which each officer In command engages his responsibility when he loses a position or modifies his lines of resistance without express orders." "Keep Enemy In Hand." Another order which emanates from German high command says: 'Diplomatic negotiations with a view to terminating the war have begun. Their conclusion will be all the more favorable in proportion as we i succeed in keeping the army well in hand, in holding the ground conquered and in doing harm to the enemy. These principles should guide the direction of the combat in the days that nreto follow." 4 these documents were taken front the Fifth Bavarian division. "WE HAVE ABOUT WIPED THEM OUT," . WRITES ASHGROFT Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ashcroft have recently received letters from both tholr sons who are fn France in active service with the American army. Eugene M. Ashcraft. who has been

overseas for some time writes that w he is now at the front. He says: r "I have been over the top once more nnd got tack safely, and hope that I will always got through as well. "I do not think that the war is going to last much longer, for I think that we have about got them wiped out It looks to me as if they are about to go under." About the same time Mr. and Mrs. Ashcroft received a letter from their son Albert, saying that he likes the country fine. "It la about a hundred years behind the times where we are though. Let us hope it won't be long before we are back in the good old U. S. A. At the present time we are in a little village and are living in a y house that is about one hundred years old, and it sure is an old-time place. The people are very kind and good to us. I am learning to speak a little French, and will have lots to tell you when I get back. "I have never seen Eugene, and probably will not over here as we are scattered all over the country. It would only be luck if I should run across him. "Do write a lor.g letter for it takes so long to hear from you, and I sure do enjoy letters from home. "I thought the railroad business was hard work over there, but we are working over here.

American Army to

Opposes Compromising Peace, Talk

"I dare say that the most used word in the vocabulary of a French soldier Is mercl (thank you) ; ne fs most uncomplaining and very, appreciative," writes Sergeant Arthur P. Bogue in a letter to The Palladium. "I am now with a base hospital unit" he continues, "but at present we are operating as a field, or evacuation hospital. Our work is naturally Irregular. During a touch engagement we must work night and day. When it is over our work is over. Taken all together then ours is not a hard life. "I have been here almost a year and expect to be here another year. By that time 1 think the ever increasing power of the Allies will have laid the final blow -which will send the German war machine to the junk heap. From my observation I think I am safe in saying that the American army in France to the last man disfavors com promising peace talk in any form The men of the army display a uni cides squarely with the determined atitude shown by President Wilson.
