LONDON. Qct. $9. r- pea. Luden-

(J1 German army,•ll reeigned, says
• Telegram from Bertin. •
General surprise was caused In
Be lin on Saturday afternoon by the
fact that the dally report from Ger-
man hadeuarters.was not signed. as
usual, with the name of Gen. Luden-
dorff. Later the following official an-
nouncement was issued:
"The Emperor, accepting the re-
quest to be allowed to retire of In-
fantry General Ludendorff, the First
Quartermaster -General and comman-
der in time of peace of the 26th In-
fantry Brigade, bas placed him on the
u nattached list. The Emperor decided
at the same time that the Lower'
Rhenish Infantry Regiment No. 39.
of which the general has long been
chief, shall bear henceforth the name
of Ludendorff."
The resignation of Gen. Ludendorff
is popularly Interpreted here as her-
alding Germanys atceptanre of the
Allies' armistice terms. Whether this
Interpretation Is corre:t, the resigna-
tion of the first quartermaster -gen-
eral cannot tall to seriously affect
the morale of the German army.
Rumors have been current for
some time past of a disagreement be-
tween Field Marshal von Hlidenburg
and Luderdocff and that von Hinden-
burg had approved of the pace nego-
tiations.
Unofficial advices say that the
greatest sensation was caused in Ber-
lin on Saturday when It was observed
that Ludendorff's name at the bottom
of the communique had been repia/•nd
by that of the chief of staff of the
armies in the field.
According to the same reports the
situation In Germany is daily grow-
ing worse. There are persistant re-
ports of riots In various parts of the
country. conflicts with the police and
loss of life, and lack of raw materials
Is seriously interfering with the pro-
duction of munitions.
The resignation of Gen. von Luden-
dorff has calmed a thorough sensa-
tion throughout Swltzerland.and the
Central Empires. and Is commented
on as a sign that German militarism
is rally :.bdicatlng. Among the Ger-
man and Austrian peoples anger and
indignation Is increasing over the
fact that the rollitary situation has
been so long concealed or wrongly
presented.
The German Reichstag .cy a great
majority. has accepted a hill placing
the military command under control
of the dell Government. according to
an Exchange Telegraph deepaleh.
The Paris Echo says that Luden-
dorff resigned because he sees titer
Impossibility of continuing the war.
The Parlit Le Matin says Germany
w111 represent the retirement of
Ludendorff as a new proof of the sub-
ordination of the military to the civil
power, but this will deceive no one.
Ludendorff. who, four months ago.
made the Reichstag and the German
People believe that the fall of Paris
and the surrender of France was im-
minent, now disappears because he
is beaten and a desperate Germany
1s faced with capitulation.

British F'or'ces .Advance Slowly But
Steadily.
LONDON. Oct. 29. - The British
launched a local attack yesterday
morning south of Valenciennes. 'L iey
improved their positions and drew
closer to the town, which Is infested
with enemy maohine guns.
On the rest of the front It was
comparatively quiet.
Reuter's correspondent at British
headquarters telegraphs:
As a result of much hard fighting
the British have steadily neared
Valenciennes and Le Quesnoy. Pa-
trols have found La Folie Farm
evacuated. but the Germans are
bolding, positions at Marescea in
strength and are digging in on the
high ground northwards towards;
Preseau.
Several fires have been observed
In the neighborhood of lan4recies.
Marvtlles and Sarbres, and a heavy
explosion took place yesterday, prob-
ably from a dump at Crustily.
Patrols have reached tie Canal du
Jurd, and the second army continues
to progress, despite a harassing fire
from the enemy long-range artillery.
The comparative slowness of the
general advance Is due quite as
much to the necessity of making
good roads and renewing bridges ars
to enemy opposition. In his delaying
tactics he is taking skilful advantage
of numerous rivers and canals to
binder our advance, but we are glv-
ing him no rest, and as our pressure
frequently forces him to coudter-
attack to avoid local breaks hitheas-
oaltiee are pretty heavy. The weather
remains In our favor.

BERNE. Oct. 29. - Prof. Lam -

OBNBVA, Oct. 29. - Great Ittglg-
nation has been aroused In Switzer-
land because a sentence of only three
months in a fortress has been given
to the German aviator who on Oct.

tive balloon on Swiss territory. The
Swiss lieutenant In the balloon was

America, and it now seem: that prac-
tkally all of Canada will be seriously .
aflected before it are its course. •
It has not only become a ¥rat and
terrifying menace to the public health.
but unless checked it is apt to seriously
affect the progress of war work in all its
various departments. Already the Ship-
ping Board has announced that ten per
tent. of itsweirkers had been affested.
The disease has made its greatest prog-
griss in the East, where it has claimed itis
victims by the thousands. Reports frog
other sections. however, are equally alarm-
ing, and both civil and military author•
itie5 have warned the public to take every
precaution to prevent its further spread.
In many Cities schools, churches and
theatres have been closed and public
gatherings of all kinds forbidden.
Medical authorities agree that people
who are weak and rundown are the ear-
liest victims of the influenza epidemic. 1f
you find yourself tired. weak and losing
flesh. or if you are in a general rundown
condition, or if you catch cold easily. this
warning should be heeded promptly. 1'ou

germ of this disea•e is very catching and
you are apt to fall an easy victim if you
come in contact with the germs Peup:e
who are well and strung are not likely to
contract the disease. because they are -able
to throw it off. The coram'ln-sett€r way
to keep from taking it, therefore. is to
fortify the system against attack by
building up the constitution.
In other words, to use the old adage.
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound,
o cure." And if you are in a sub -normal
condition the proper thing to do is to
begin immediately to build up your p)wei s
