and large shells we're used freely against
the American front everywhere.
Two complete batteries started action
against tho Germans to-day. The guns
and ammunition of these batteries were
captured from the retreating forces near
Cierges. Included in the captured equip
ment were six $50 millimeter guns and
twenty-one pieces OF lighter artillery.
American artillery had not come up
when the capture was made. The Off
GERS took quick advantage OF the 'situa-
tion and turned these guns on the en-

in stacks near by
There were violent counter attacks to-
day in the neighborhod of Nantillois
Tanks were seen on two portions of the
sector, but they were not used except
near Appremont because of the bad con-
ditlon OF terrain, The artillery fire
again was heavy along the Montfaucon
roads.
The Germans during the day used tear
gas shells on points five kilometers to
the rear of the centre OF the line.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Sept. 3O.-The Germans are
continuing TO rush up reserves, new
division having been identified to-day.
They are now offering the stffest resist
ance and apparently have decided TO
make n stand on the Kremhilde line.
They have connected number of
shell holes and are building strong de-
fensive work, IN some instances with
concrete. At varying intervals they
have established srrong positions and
are defending them to the utmost.
The Germans made strong counter at
tacks east OF the Argonne yesterday.
East OF Cierges the Americans fought
desperately with rifles. machine guns and
bayonets. Again and again they cut into
the oncoming German line, leaving hum
dreds of dead and wounded all along the
attacking front. Forced TO give way
under pressure at some points they soon
regained the lost ground and AT this
moment are fighting what resembles a
pitched battle amid the ravines and
woods.
The Germans are using every possible
resource TO stop or delay the Americans,
They have at some places filtered

lished machine gun positions in the
rear; but against the fighting ferVor OF

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY on THE
ST. QUENTIN SECTOR Sept. 80 (4:3o p.
M).-The Americans on this front
have been engaged in heavy fighting
throughout the day. There was much
hand to hand fighting and large num-
bers OF Germans have been killed,
many by grenades and bombs dropped
into their deep dugouts OF the Hinden-
burg system.
The Americans found it necessary to
clear UP portions Of the Hindenburg
line through which they smashed their
way. They advanced so quickly in
their operation Of yesterday that many
Germans were left in the dugouts. and
some Of these proved n serious menace.
During the night tho British attacked
on the Americana flank toward Nend-
huile to protect II. and this operation
was entirely successful.
The weather to-day has been bad for
all operations Tho troops fought N
rain. with "a cold wind blowing.
The British are on the western edge
OF lie Tronquoy Canal. a few miles north
OF ST. Quentin, and are approaching La
Fossee. Other troops have made good
progress south OF the canal. The lines
IN this locality run well west of Nauioy
and Bellecourt and Just west OF Bony.
A further advance has been made
around Camb~ai. The inner trench de-
fensive systems in the southern end of
the town have been stormed and cap
tured
In the north the Anglo Belgian victory
was OF great Importance and the enemy
has been so staggered by the blows de-
livered here that he has not launched a
single counter attack. The Belgians hold
all the ground gained.

ALLIES TERMS ACCEPTED

LONDON. Sept. 30 Official an
nouncement was made to-day both in
London and in Paris that Bulgaria
had consented to accept without con-
dition the terms laid down by the En-
tente Allies for her withdrawal from
the war. Closely following this an
nouncement came the statement that
an offer from Turkey of terms for
peace was imminent.
The conclusion of an agreement
between the representatives sent to
Salonica by Bulgaria and the allied
representatives came with the sign
Ing last night of an armistice by the
terms OF which hostilities between
the Allies and the Bulgarlans cease.
but operations between the Allies on
the one hand and the Germans, Aus
trians and Turks on the other are
not affected by the settlement.
Gen. Franchet d.Esperey. allied COM
mander In chief in Macedonia, signed
the convention on behalf of the Allies.
Three accredited commissioners for
Gar Ferdinand affixed their signatures
for Bulgaria. Instructions were given
at once to Gen. d'Esperey TO proceed
with the carrying out of the conditions
named in the armistice.
Three hmm ediate Results.
Primarily. it is stated that the start
ling change in the wars affairs means
these things:
The cutting of the railway COM
munication by which Germany
reached directly to Constantinople,
with the attendant result Of the van
ishing of the Teutonic dream of
middle European empire.
The isolation Of Turkey from her
powerful ally. with the collateral
certainty of the opening of the Dar-
danelles and a route to the new Rus
sian front through the Black Sea.
The opening Of a route Of attack
against Austria-Hungary through
the Balkans.
These things were made plain in an
| address delivered to-day by Andrew
| Bonar Law, Chancellor OF the Ex-
| chequer, at the Guildhall. The Chan
cellor said that hostilities with Bulgaria
ended at noon. He added that the terms
| of the settlement have given to the
Allies the complete control of the rail-
| ways.
This convention" he said. means
! that communication between Germany
and the East in that direction has been
cut off, and that the German dream OF
! German middle-eastern empire has
! gone forever"
Allies VIII Control Bulgaria.
The acquisition OF the control of the
Bulgarian railways, added the Chan
| cellor, means the actual control of Bull
garia. He said that while there "is no
changing OF metal here at the wonder
full success OF the past week, joy bells
are ringing in all OF our hearts"
Judging from the German newspapers
| the surrender of Bulgaria to the Allies
| has not been made public there. The
newspapers. however. comment upon the
situation, insisting that King Ferdinand
will remain loyal to the Teutonic
| Powers.
