FALL OF CAMBRAI
'GERMANS HEAVILY DEFEATED EIIY I Fill RETREAT TURKISH PEACE' NOTE SURRENDER IMMINENT ; . ■■./■■■,■. There is great news to-day. Cambrai has fallen as the result of the vigorous pressure of the British and American troops, with a haul of 10,000 prisoners, and nearly 200 guns. The enemy, says Sir Douglas Haig, was heavily defeated, and the British and Americans are now advancing eastward, far beyond the conquered Hindenburg '' line. A general retreat of the enemy is in progress, probably to the Oise line. In a stirring dispatch the British Commander states that since September 21 we have captured 110,000 prisoners and 1200 guns. An unofficial report announces what everybody has been expecting—a peace Note from Turkey. Another report states that the ■ surrender of the Turk is imminent. There are no important developments elsewhere. Press comment generally approves of President Wilson's reply to the German peace kite.
