ANCIENT SPEECH CITED.

The German note after the custom
nry diplomatic introduction, declared
the kaiser "cherishes a lively desire
that for the benefit Of the entire
world the papal appeal may meet with
success. Continuing, Chancellor Mich
aelis asserted the pope's efforts would
more surely reckon on sympathetic re-
ception by tho kaiser on the fact that
the kaiser has regarded it as his
principal and most sacred task to pre-
serve the blessings of peace for the
German people and the world"
In support Of this, Michaelis cited a
speech by the kaiser in 1883 promis-
ing that his love for the Germany"
would never lead him into war. unless
a forced one, and adding "the German
army should safeguard peace for us,
and should peace nevertheless be brok-
en- II would be in position to win II
with honor.
Michaclis added that the kaiser has
by his acts, fulfilled the promise he
made in 26 years of happy rule, de-
spite proVocations and temptations"
KEEN DESIRE FOR PEACE.
Along the same line. the German noto
reiterated the plea that Germany de-
sired peace. worked against war and
was the first belliserent to declare q
readiness to enter peace negotiations.

Will Not Swerve United
States From Determine
tion to Make No Peace
With Kaiserism.
Pointed Out That Hohenzol-
lerns Talk Peace With
Their Mouths While Their
Hearts Plot Murder and
Intrigue.
BY CARL d. GROAT.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent)
Washington. Sept. 22.-Germany's
and Austria's acceptance Of the popes
peace proffer failed to swerve the
United States government today in its
announced determination to make no
peace while kaiserlsm lasts.
Authorities declared that the war
preparations will go on, that the strug-
gle itself will continue despite the Teu-
ton replies, and they pointed out that
the Hohenzollerns always talk peace
with their mouths while their hearts
plot murder and intrigue.
The Bernstorff 100000 fund to in
fluence congress was held up. as a
striking example of what German
peace talk amounts to- Bernstorff was
talking peace-but 1t was peace that
would tie Americas hands and keep
one more enemy OFF Germany's back.
EFFECTS OF REPLIES.
As international experts viewed the
replies, the following effects are
likely:
The German government will
again go before it's people with the
plea that II accepted the peace Of
fer, while the other nations scorn-
ed It, ergo, the war from the Teu-
ton standpoint, Is one Of de
fense" while its enemies seek to
crush Germany.
This for time will again solid
ify the German people behind their
government, probably.
Second, the Teuton acceptance
will tend to reinforce the pacifists
and quitters among other nations
In their demands for cessation Of.
hostiltties. The effect In Russia
may be unwholesome and while II
will give American "quitters"
more ammunition, 1t will not alter
the general determination to fight
1t out, until democracy Is safe.
Third, the replies indicate to
the real warning elements that
their victory Is really nearer than
tLsJ had supposed. for these an
swers show that Germany really Is
desperately wanting peace before
: her losses and shortages become
more Overwhelming.

Germans Make Desperate
Attempts to Drive Haig's

Won Positions.

Counter Attacks, but They
Were Soon Re won by the
English Forces.

London. Sept. 22.-Powerful German
counter attacks at dusk yesterday pen
etrated Field Marshal Haig's newly
won positions on the Ypres- Menin Sec
tor east OF ST. Julien, the British COM
mander- in chief reported today.
The German gain was short lived,
however. British troops made local at
tacks which were ruccessful in GUST
ing the enemy from their desperately
won positions.
Today Field Marshal Haig reported
every inch Of his newly advanced line
held intact. The fighting throughout
was of the fiercest character. pickle
German troops made the assault de-
spite tremendous rain of shells and
machine gun fire.
MASSED ENEMY ATTACK.
East Of st. Julien" Haig reported
wide, powerful and massed enemy
counter attack at dusk yesterday pene-
trated one point for a short distance,
In the new positions we occupied. A
local counter attack drove the enemy
out
AT all other points the Germans did
not succeed In two hours fierce fight
ing. the line remaining intact.
In the early night, after failure
around the Tower hamlets, the enemy
attacked with strong forces along the
Ypres- Menin road. Heavy fighting en-
sued, ending in complete repulse.
East Of I.angemarck a third hostile
attack was crushed in our artillery
fire
RESULTS OF THE DRIVE.
The net results OF the British drive
to date. as officials summed up today,
were about eight square miles of ter
ritory reclaimed. 5000 prisoners taken,
unusually heavy casualties inflicted on
thefepe cry and an impressive demon
stratioE OF artillery superiority which
may be expected to have it's effect on
the German morale. The fighting of
the past two days took heavy toll OF
Germany's picked troops.
General Haig had advertised his in
artillery preparation.
The Germans responded TO this in
vitation by concentrating carefully Sc
lected storm troops" to bear the brunt
OF counter attacks by which they
hoped to retrieve initial British gains.
Many of these picked units. held be-
hind the front lines, were caught In
the tremendous British barrase fire
and decimated. The remainder were
those whose fierce assaults were beat
en- back last night by the British.
