Germany Wants
To Know About
Terms Of Peace
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHJ

WASHINGTON, Sept 17.-Germany
has suggested informally that the
United States should undertake to
elicit from Great Britain. France and
Russia, statement of terms under
which the allies would make peace.
The suggestion was made by the i'm
perial chancellor, DIR. Won Bethmann-
HollWege, to Ambassador Gerard at
Berlin as the result of an inquiry sent
by the American government to learn
whether Emperor William was desirous
of discussing peace as Count Won Bern
storff the German ambassador and Os-
car Strauss recently had reported.
No reply was made by Emperor Will
liam himself, nor did the imperial
chancellor indicate whether or not he
spoke on behalf of his monarch. Am
bassador Gerard 'cabled the president
the cnancellor's remarks from recol-
lection. which We're substantially as
follows:
Germany was appreciative of the
American governments interest and
the offer of its services in trying to
war. but it was forced upon her. Even
if she defeats France she must likewise
vanquish both Great Britain and Rus
sia and all three have made an agree
ment not to make peace except by COM
mon consent.
Similarly, England has announced
through Premier Asquith. her diplo-
matists and newspapers that she in
tends to fight to the limit of her endur-
ance. In view of that determination
on the part of Great Britain, the United
States ought to get proposals of peace
from the allies Germany could only
accept lasting peace, one that would
make her people secure against future
attacks. To accept mediation now
would be interpreted by the allies as a
sign Of weakness on the part of Ger
many and would be misunderstood by
the German people, who have made
great sacrifices, have a right to demand
guarantees of security.

Armies Are Now Engaged
On a Line Extending
from Region Of Noyon to
the River Meuse, North
of Nerdun
LINE IS SHORT;
CONTEST FIERCE
Masses Of Troops Throw
ing Themselves at Each
Other, While Artillery Is
Concentrated Trying to
Break Through Lines
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1


LONDON, Sept. 17.-Another great
battle. even more vital for the eoun-
tries concerned than those which pre- :
ceded il, is now in progress on a
line extending from the region OF
Noyon on the river Disc, northwest
of Paris to the river Meuse, north OF
Verdun The front is somewhat
shorter than in the battle of the
Narne but this will result in more
fiercely contested battle with the
masses of troops throwing themselves
ut each other. Every available piece
of artillery is concentrated in de-
termined effort of the armies to
break through the lines.
The Germans. who fortnight ago
had abandoned their first swift en-
deavor to destroy the armies of
France and Great Britain and capture
Paris, have now fortified themselves
on the mountains north of the rive
Aisne, through the plains of Cham
Tagne, in the Argonne mountais,
through which the river Meuse flows.
They are in stronger positions than
in the battle of the Marine, and have
been strongly reinforced with fresh
troops from the north and east
They have attempted some countec
attacks against the allies, which are
flushed with victory, and are trying
TO prevent them entrenching them
selves. According to English and
French official reports these attacks
have been repulsed. The Germans
were compelled to give away at GER
tain points but the German general
staff claims just the opposite result
speaking with full knowledge OF
the situation at the front said:
THE tide is now turning"
So he, although telling the public
the war is going to be a long one
appears to be hopeful of the outcome
1T is certain that the hilly coun-
try north of the river Aisne offers a
good ground for such a battle. II
appears that the western wing of the
two armies, the German right anG
the allies left are again to bear the
heavy part of the fighting. Upor
the armies of Generals Won Klucl
and Won Buelow depend the safety OF
the rest of the German army, should
retreat be decided upon or forced
upon them. Besides holding the from
they must be prepared to withstand
another attempt on the part of the
allies to outflank them
These German forces hold a posi-
ton from point nea.- Noyon on tht

of Aisne to a junction of the latter

Austrians in Bad Shape

VENICE, via Paris, Sept. Ire
ports received here from trustworthy
sources indicate the situation of the
Austrian troops in Galicia is most
precarious. During fighting along the
Servian frontier, Croatian regiments
suffered enormous losses. Owing to
their racial hatred of the Servians
they were chosen to lead the first at
tack, and. carried away by their en-
thusiasm, they did not wait for the
support of their artillery but rushed
blindly against the Servians, running
instead of crawling across the fields.
AS a consequence they fell in masses
befo.'e the Servian fire.
Around Lemberg, the capital of Ca
licia, the Austrian infantry sustained
terrible losses because of their ar
tillery being caught in the marshes.
The artillerymen stood for several
hours in water and arrived at the
scene of the fighting too late to af-
ford the necessary support of the in
fantry. 1t is asserted here that the
Austrian artillery decimated three of
their own infantry regiments whom
they mistook for Russians because of
a similarity in uniforms.
Wounded to the number of 29OO
arrived in Vienna on Tuesday. AS
an evidence of the gallantry of the
Austrian soldiers it is said all the
wounds were on the front of the
body Accordingly it was announced
the government order fSrbidding per-
sons to give information regarding
wounded soldiers has been Cancelled
The public is now freely admitted Ia

ties do not fear to let the people
