General Byng has settled down to

west of Cambrai after his recent rapid
forward dash and has made substantial
progress along a front OF nearly six
miles.
Get Behind Hindenburg Eine.
The British pressure Is now being
mainly directed northward On the Fon-
and west line running between Fon-
tame and Queant. The apparent object
is not only to carry the encircling
movement about Cambrai further to the
north and east. but to drive in behind
both the former Hindenburg line as Il
bears off to the northwest, and the
Queant-Drocourt switch, thus rendering
the latter useless as a secondary line
of defense against an attack from the
west.
This valuable high ground along the
dominating Bourbon wood to the west
of Cambria. was taken yesterday and
progress was made further west on
both sides of the canal Du Nord near
M~ouvevrees and Queant. Additional
ground also was gained in the neigh
borhood OF Bullecourt.

This disclosure adds another chap ter to the amazing story begun with the publication the famous Thinner mann note, in which Germany pro- posed an alliance with Mexico and Japan against the United States, and which included Swedish-German breaches of neutrality in Argentina and Mexico. It connects the German government and Count von Bernstorff directly and conclusively With ma chinations which the American peo- pie assumed were part of a worldwide Teutonic intrigue, but which many people believed were carried on in this country by German-Americans without assistance from Berlin.

Line With Policy to Make People Believe They

; Washington. Sept. 2-Favorable replies from both Berlin and Vienna to Pope Benedict's peace proposals were not unexpected in the United States and the allied countries.
 Whether or not the action of the pope was influenced by Austria, as has been frequently suggested, the acceptance of his peace plans by the central powers falls in line with the policies Of those governments in mak- ing their people feel that they are waging a purely defensive war against a group of nations bent upon their destruction.

When he wrote it Count von Bern storff was assuring the American gov ernment and press that under no cir Ncumstances would Germany violate her pledges of the Sussex case or do anything that might draw the United States into the list of her enemies.
 With the Lusitania and other cases in abeyance, the American govern ment had made no move since the Sussex pledge, and there was nothing on the surface to foreshadow impend ing trouble. Two weeks later, when von Bernstorff was handed his pass ports he professed ignorance or prior knowledge of his governments inten- tion to throw it's promise to the winds.

 FOR PEACE COURT Austria's Reply Expresses Conviction Oi Emperor That Peace Would Come From NegOtiaotions Be
 tween Belligerents.

Amsterdam, Sept. 21.-The German government, in it's reply to the peace note of Pope Benedict, copy of which has been received here, "cher- ishes a lively desire" that the appeal may meet with success. Emperor William. the German note says, has been following the efforts of the pope to bring about peace for considera- ble time with high respect.
 The text of the reply in part, fol- lows:
 "Herr Cardinal:
 "Your ensinence has been good enough, together with your letter of August 2, to transmit to the kaiser and king, my most gracious master, the note of his holiness, the pope, in which his holinesg.-1Il with grief at the devastation of the world war, makes an emphatic peace appeal to the heads of the belligerent people.
 "rhe kaiser-king has designed to acquaint me with your eminence's letter, and to entrust the reply to me. His majesty has been following for considerable time with high respect and sincere gratitude his holiness efforts, in spirit of true impartiality, to alleviate, as far as possible, the sufferings of the war, and to hasten the end of hostilities. The kaiser sees in the latest step of his holiness further proof of his noble and hu- man feelings. and cherishcs lively desire, for the benefit of the entire world, that the papal appeal may meet with success"
 The reply adds that the efforts of the people to pave the way for an understanding might more surely be reckoned to have sympathetic recep- tion and whole-hearted support of the German emperor, since he Las regard ed it as his principal and most sac red task to preserve the blessings of peace for the German people and the world.
