PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT WINS GOOD VICTORY OVER
 PRELIMINARY PARLIAMENT

international affairs must first be submitted to the delegates for ac- tion.
 The victory is apparently com plete Teoretelli, one of the most prominent members of parliament. today informed Kerensky that parlia- ment had withdrawn all of it's for mer demands in this respect and that it had decided to accede to the demands of the government that it act in a legislative and advisory capacity only.
 This action is regarded as a dis tinct victory for Kerensky, as it is considered that without his influence and the confidence that is given him by the entire nation, it would have been impossible to have in- duced parliament to withdraw so completely it's demands.

 The situation today foreshadows the nature of the military operations until Americas great armies can ar rive on the field. Constant pressure will be applied to the invader of France and Belgium. She will need to increase her strength, which is impossible for her. This pressure will be kept up until some time in 1918, when the combined armies of America, England and France will act as unit in attacking along the entire western front.

 PEACE FEELERS
Associated PrcSs)

AMSTERDAM. Oct 9-The Deutsch- es Tages Zeitung one of the leading Berlin morning papers and a semi ment this morning that declares that it has learned on good authority that Germany and Austria have agreed to make another peace offer. This offer will be forthcoming with i'll the present week, it is thought, and possibly about the time that Chancellor Michaelis makes his state ment of the governments war aims 10 the reichstag.
 The basis upon which the offer ment that no nation will profit by territorial grandizement Germany will agree to surrender both Belgium and northern France, but will not consent to pay any indemnities for actual damages done in these or other provinces occupied by her fore es In addition there will also be a stipulation calling for money pay ments for the remuneration of previ- ously acquired territory.
 In making the agreement that no nation shall profit by territorial az srandizement it is thought that Ger many has direct reference to Alsace Lorraine and her African colonies She will not willingly cede Alsace- Lorraine, and desires payment for her lost colonies in other sections of the world
