THE WAR SUMMARY
Condensed News from Dispatches in
Morning Papers

Austria is calling to the colors all
men available for military service in
Guiding those previously rejected as
unfit. But. according to London, this
can hardly help the army in Galicia
which has, according to Russian re-
ports, suffered such terrible losses.
From East Prussia nothing new
has come except a report that the
Russian general, Rennenkamp, has
frustrated the attempt to outfiank
him and that he has taken up posi-
tions in line with the fortresses on
the Russian side of the border
In Belgium there has been a con
tinuation Of skirinishes which have
been a feature of the war since the
Germans advanced into France with
advances and Withdrawals as daily
occurrences. For example, the Ger
mans Wednesday reoccupied Ter
monde, only TO leave il yesterday
morning.
Besides the eastern portion of the
country the Germans bold the line
almost TO Touranal in the department
OF Halnaut, thus preventing the Bel
CLANS from going too far in their har-
rying tactics on the German troops
proceeding TO France.
Thus far the Belgian army has full
filled its allotted place by keeping at
least one division from going to the
assistance of the army on the Aisne.
In Italy the agitation for the par
tlcipation of the country in the war
seems to be on the increase. Italys
position is described as one of arm
cd neutrality to prevent the war frcm
causing her damage and to shape the
new situation in conformity with her
interests"
Rumania is in much the same posi-
ton. She does not want TO go to
war. but at the same time does not
want to lose any share of the spells
that might fall to her
An official dispatch from Berlin re
ceived at London says the German
dirigibIe airships have fulfilled all
expectations None of them has been
destroyed or captured by the enemy,
though some of them have been dam
aged.

London, Sept 17.--Another great
battle even more vital for the coun.
tries concerned than those which
have preceded it is now in progress
on a line extending from the region
of Noyon, on the River Disc, north
west OF Paris. to the River Mouse,
north OF Verdun.
The front is somewhat shorter than
was the case in the battle of the
Mane, but this will only result In a
more fiercely contested battle with
masses of troops throwing themselves
at each other and every available
piece OF artillery concentrated in the
determined effort of the armies TO
break through tho lines.
The Germans. who a fortnight ago
had TO abandon their swift endeavor
to destroy the armies of France and
Great Britain and capture Paris. have
now fortified themselves on the noun
tains north of the River Aisne
through the plains OF Champagne and
in tho Argonne mountains through
which the Meuse flows. They are in
stronger positions than they were for
the battle OF The Marine and have
heeh strongly reinforced with fresh
troops from the north and east. They
have attempted some counter.attacks
against the allied troops which flush.
cd with victory have been trying TO
prevent them from entrcnching them
selves.
According TO English and French
official reports these attacks have
been repulsed mad tho Germans com
peeled TO give way at certain points,
but the German general staff claims
1ist the opposite results. SO the pub.
lie are left to Judge for themselves.
II is certain, however, that the billy
country north of tho Aisne offers
good ground for such tactics. It
would appear that these western
wings of tho two armies the German
right and tho allies left are again to
bear heavy part In the fighting
Upon the armies of Gen Won Kluck
and Gen Won Buelow depends the
safety of the rest Of the German
army should retreat be decided upon
or forced upon them and besides hold
ing the front they have to be prepsr-
cd TO withstand another attempt on
the part OF the allies to outaank
them.

GERMAN OVERTURE
LOOKING TO END
GREAT WAR
Suggests That United States
Learn Allies Terms
THE INQUIRY is CAUTIOUS
Washington Believes That Working
Basis for Settlement May Have
Been Made

Washington, Sept 17--Germsny has
suggested informally that the United
States should undertake to elicit
from Great Britain, France. and Rus
STA statement of the terms under
which the Allies would make peace
The suggestion was made by the
Imperial Chancellor, Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, to Ambassador Gerard at
Berlin as a result of an inquiry sent
by the American Government to learn
whether Emperor William was desir-
Gus of discussing peace, as recently
had been reported.
Ne reply was made by Emperor
William himself. nor did the Imperial
Chancellor indicate whether or not he
spoke on behalf of the Emperor Am
bassador Gerard, in cable dispatch
to President Wilson, repeated the
Chancellors remarks from recollec-
lion, substantially as follows
Germany was appreciative of the
American Governments interest and
offer OF services in trying TO make
peace. Germany did not want war.
but had it forced on her. Even if
she defeats France. she must like
wise vanquish both Great Britain and
Russia, as all three have made All
agreement not to make peace ex-
cept by common consent. Similarly,
England has announced through Pre-
mier Asquith and her diplomatists
and the newspapers that she intends
TO fight TO the limit of her endurance.
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
accept only lasting peace, one that
would make her people secure
against future attacks. To accept me
diation now would be interpreted by
the Allies as sign of weakness on
the part OF Germany and would be-
misunderstood by the German people,
who, having made great sacrifices,
had the right to demand guarantees
OF security"
The above is all that Ambassador
Gerard communicated as TO his con
versation. He added only the brief
comment that he, himself. thought
the way might possibly be opened TO
mediation. President Wilson did not
regard the message, however. as
bringing anything tangible. He re-
fcrred TO the Chancellor's converse
ton as non-committal and incidental
to the acknowledgment of the Ameri-
con Governments inquiry. The Pres
ident indicated that he rather expect
ed reply TO. the inquiry to be sent
eventually from tho Emperor him.
self. although he realizes that the I'M
perial Chancellor may have consult
cd the Kaiser by telegraph before
talking informally with the American
Ambassador.
