be rebuffed. Proposals must come
from both sides, or the suggestion
from one belligerent must be in such
form that this government will have
reason to believe 1t will be acceptable
to the other side.
The general feeling among admin
istration members was that peace
without the fighting Of another win
ter campaign was possible, and even
probable, but that the first move
would be o matter OF months rather
than weeks. 1t was hoped that peace
suggestions might take definite form
before snow falls. but that depends
on the success OF an allied offensive,
or on Germany's backdown from Its
present position.
The Champagne battle has demon
strated that the allies are seriously

tinuance Of their virtual siege OF the
central empires. II the latter course
is decided on, It is recognized that
there Is little probability OF England

troops are rushing today through the
barren and desolate Big Bend coun-
try In pursuit OF the Mexieans who
raided towns In that territory last
Friday night. killing three United
States soldiers and boy and kid
naping two American citizens. The
raiders crossed the Brewster county
line and invaded American soil.
The section Is white-hot with rage

others are rallying to the hunt with
vengeance as their watchword. Fiji
teen cavalrymen dashed from Alpine
at the first news to aid the small de-
tachment which had arrived from q
nearby post to aid the stricken settle
ment.
The Mexican raid began at 10
o'clock Friday night. A force estim-
ated at between $50 and 800 Mexi-
cans crept up on the settlement. They
avoided the American border patrol
by making wide detour, forded
rivers and crossed the intervening
stretch OF territory In the night. Nine

Its doors and windows. and began a
desperate fight against overwhelming
odds. They were routed when the
Mexlcans. despairing OF approaching
the beleaguered Americans while
they had any ammunition left, hurled
fireballs upon the thatch roof. Three
men fell as the little detachment fled
from the blaze. One was rlddled with
