ALLIED ARMIES GAINING
Allied Forces Drive Sharp Wedge In

British Headquarters in France, Oct
1.-THE Germans are being hammered
hard in Flanders where the big fight
is on again. On the sector east an.
northeast of Ypres, Field Marsha
Haig is battering away while Frencl
troops have joined with the British
left wing to the south Of Dixmude II
an endeavor to bring that section o
the line even with the wedge that has
been driven into the German front by
Haig east of Broodsiende.
Launching their attacks simultane
ousfy both armies had made consld
cradle gains before nightfall, i'm adj
dition to infiicting heavy casualties
on the Germans and taking many pris-
oners. Prior to the announcement Of
the commencement of the attack there

Frenchmen were ready for an advance.
In fact it had been rather expected
that even the British commander-in-
chief would delay taking the aggres-
sixe again for several days, owing to

eral hundred Germans. The advance
of the French was over a front OF
more than mile and half and they
penetrated the German line to depth
of one and a quarter miles.
Haig's principal offensive centered
on the portions of the Passchendaele-
Gheluvelt ridge, still held by the Ger
mans, being directed eastward from
Poelcapelle, which was captured, and
northeastward from Broodseinde to-
ward Passchendaele, the ultimate OBJ

operation makes more apparent the

FTEUTONS AGAIN
TO OFFERPEACE
Would Quit Belgium and France
Mo Indemnities for
Either Side.
STORMY SESSION DUE
Reichstag Convenes to Hear Michaelis
Mo Territorial Aggrandizement
is Basis of Latest Proposal
According to Newspaper.

| Amsterdam, Oct. 11.-AnotheT peace
offer on a basis. of no territorial ag-
grandizement, surrender of Belgium
and the French territories and no in
demnity on either side, has been
| agreed on by Germany and Austria,
according to the Berlin Tages lei
| tung.
| The newspaper asserted it made the
| announcement on good authority"
| No details were given on how the
rumored peace offers would be ad-
vanced
Speculation here was that Chancel-
| lor Michaelis might make some sort
| of a peace announcement in his post
poned speech advertised as likely to
outline Germany's war aims.
A sensational session of the reich
stag is expected, according to Berlin
reports. One dispatch said Chancel-
lor Michaelis was absent from Berlin,
but in contradiction other messages
reported him ready to speak.
Helfferich Condemned.
The German press is filed with COM
ment on the crisis which Michaelis
now faces in the German parliament.
The resignation of Vice Chancellor
Helfferich was freely predicted in some
comments. The Radicals in the reichs-
tag and even many of the Conserva-
tives are solidly opposed to him be-
cause of his failure to announce a
decisive governmental policy at Satur.
days reichstag session. Even num-
Der of the Conservative newspapers,
received here, bitterly condemn Helf-
ferich.
The Socialist organ, Vorwaerts, bold
ly asserted that not only Helfferich,
but Michaelis himself had both proved
to be failures" "As we'll as
the bureaucratic system they repre-
sent
Debate, Berlin advices indicated,
will center around pending move
ment advanced by the independent So
cialists to censure Helfferich for his
failure to respond to interpretations.
The old demand of the Centrist.C leri-
cal group for statement by the gov
eminent on the reichstag majority's
peace formula is likewise becoming a
burning issue again.
About to Defy Kaiser.
New York, Oct. 10.-The German
reichstag is on the verge of making its
first defiance of kaiserism.
Reports that the majority reichstag
parties are contemplating a vote of
lack of confidence in the cabinet in
dictate that the most critical internal
crisis of the war may be approaching.
Dr. Heffferich is the kaiser's chief
spokesman in the government and
more than any other statesman had
encouraged the Germans to continue
the war in expectation of sufficiently
large indemnity to pay the entire cost
of the conflict. Any attack upon Helf-
ferich is by inference an attack upon
the HohenZollerns.
