Americans Are
ShOWn Liquid
Fire in Action

AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP IN
FRANCE, Sept. 26.-(By Associated
Press 1.-THE American troops train
ing in France have just had their bap-
tism of liquid fire. 1t was not exactly
a baptism, but near enough to the real
thing to be decidedly impressive. They
watched with eloquent silence a
French demonstration of what is with
out question the most diabolical form
of frightfulness which has grown but
of three years of world war.
An Older Model.
The fiame-thrower used was compar-
atively small, one of the older models,
but the rotating stream of fire it emit
ted, with great clouds of intense black
smoke curling hundreds of feet in the
air, gave the openeyed soldiers a
wholesome idea of what some phases
of modern warfare are like.
Humor To Rescue.
The men, when the first shock OF
surprise at theterrible weapon had
worn off, however, began to make hum
orous remarks and seemed to enjoy
the latter end of the demonstration
with the keen sense of American in
difference to danger. On esoldier con-
vulsed the big company by shouting
"Oh, bo, bo. don't | wish | had been
better at Sunday school?"
Another renewed the merriment by
exclaiming: Captain, please tell when
the next boat leave for home;" while
a third added: this sure amt no place
for a nervous man."
The demonstration had a two-fold
purpose, first to acquaint the men with
the character of weapon which could
easily terrorize the uninitiated. and
second to teach the means of defense
and self-protection against even the
most fiendish of German flammenwer.

Germany Agrees to Evacuate
and Share Compensation of
Belgium is Assured of Eco
nornic Privileges There.
(By Review Leased Wire.l

LONDON, Sept. 26.-Germany has
agreed to evacuate eBlgium on certain
conditions, it is declared in a German
official statement, according to a dis,
patch from Berlin today given out by
the wireless press.
Germany, it is stipulated, must have
the right TO develop her economic en-
terprises in Belgium, especially in
Antwerp, The proposal was made in
a supplementary note to the Vatican,
replying to the peace initiative of Pope
Benedict.
Agreement Verbal.
1t was in the form of verbal CON-
munication made Dy Foreign Secretary
Kuehlmann to the papal nuncio at
Munich, wherein the foreign secretary
specified the conditions under which
Germany was willing to conclude
peace on the basis of the evacuation
of Belgium.
Would Share Compensation.
The verbal note to the papal nuncio
says Germany would contribute a
share of the compensation to be paid
to Belgium for war damages. Belgium
would be required, it is said, to give a
guarantee that any such menace as
that which threatened Germany in
1914, woLld in future be excluded.
Belgium must undertake to main
tain administrative separation of the
Flander and Walloon districts intro
duced by Germany, the verbal note
says, because this separation cores
ponds to the wishes of a majority Of
the Belgian people and because Ger
many desires such separation on ac'
count of racial sympathy.

OPPOSITION OF
TEUTONS GREAT
IN BIG BATTLE
Uninviting Ground is Crossed
By British Forces In Battle.
Germans Contest Every
Foot of Terrain.

Field Marshal Haig's men again
are striking in Flanders and the force
of their blow, like that of those who
have preceded it, is meeting with good
results on front of nearly six miles.
Notwithstanding the necessity of
carrying the battle to Crown Prince
Rupprecht across uninviting ground
virtually a morass owing to recent
rains-the English, Scotch and Aus
tralian troops have snatched valuable
vantage points from the Germans,
but not without terrific opposition.
The battle at last accounts was still
raging with the Germans fighting
with unusual bitterness.
British Were Harassed.
Haigs new thrust was delivered
from the base of front line positions
captured and consolidated last week,
before which the Germans held num-
erous vantage points OF strategic
value, barring the way to further in
roals by the British or for harassing
the British line by machine gun and
rifle bullets.
AS on previous occasions, Haig loos-
ed a veritable inferno of artillery fire
against the Germans before launching
his attack early Wednesday an when
night fell many important positions
had been ridded of the enemy.
SIGNIFICANT Point.
Probably the most significant gain
of the Britishfi which the Germans
assert was to a depth of two-thirds OF
mile at certain points, was near
Zonnebeke, to Within a few hundred
yards of the western outskirts OF
which village they penetrated, plac-
ing them about six miles from the rail
way running from Ostend to Lille.
The cutting of this line would serious
ly affect the transport OF the Germans
from their naval bases at Ostend and
Zeebrugge.
Ostend SheIled.
Prior to the land attack British
aviators heavily shelled Ostend and
again Wednesday afternoon they re-
peated the bombardment. Meanwhile
naval airplanes dropped bombs on
towns IN northern Belgium with good
results.
Other Fronts Quiet.
On the other fronts, except in the
Champagne and Verdun sectors Of
the line in France no hostilities OF
great importance are in progress. Be-
fore Verdun the big guns are again
roaring in a nightly duel. evidently
the forerunner OF big infantry opera
tions in the near future. In Cham
pagne the French are heavily shelling
the positions of the German crown
prince.
Patrol engagements.
In the Austro-Italian theater the
Italians continue successful patrol en-
gagements against the Austrians and
air raids on military establishments.
The sinking of British merchantmen
by mines and submarines last week
was smaller in the aggregate than
during any week since Germany start
ed her intensive submarine campaign.
In ali Is merchantmen were destroy
