p, 600 in killed, wounded and miss q.
ing.
one whole German division was

But the big guns Numbered inces-

Germans Alarmed
That the Germans have taken

denced by reports from Amsterdam
that German reinforcements have
been rushed into that zone. The

the Germans are strer gthening

International News Service:
LONDON. Sept. 22.-The power
full influence OF Germany is plainly
seen in the Austrian reply to the
peace note of Pope Benedict XIV.
Austria's feverish desire for peace
is easily read between the lines Of
her answer. but there is an absence
of promises of territorial restora-
lions and this is attributed to Ger
many.
But for the domination of the
German government it is believed
that Austria would have made
definite promises instead of express
ing a willingness 10 enter into
negotiations for disarmament. the
establishment of an international
tribune for arbitration and the
freedom of the seas"
No Surprise
There was nothing in the notes
of the central powers that caused
surprise in official circles.
Just how much nearer peace ne
gotiations have been brought by the
TeutOniC notes cannot be guessed.
The press in its comment calls the
replies evasive and speculate as TO
whether they will be followed up
So far as known the replies Of
