With the American Army in France, Sept $, (By the Associated Press)- German aviatOrs scored two direct hits on Wednesday night on the large "Red Cross" between the wings of the French h-Am erican hospital south west of Soissons. There were no casualties, as the patients were re- moved to nearby caves when the bombing began soon after dark.
 Eighteen bombs were dropped, two striking the Red Cross which is built of red in a great field of white. When the alarm was sounded the attention of attendants was turned to the wounded who were taken to caves. The slightly wounded retired without aid and there were several instances of slightly wounded patients assisting the attendants in carrying the seri ously wounded to places of safety The first bomb struck near a tent and two others struck the Red Cross
 Owing to the darkness due to the eXtinguishing of ,til lights there was great confusion, but not a single patient or attendant YVES injured. The hospital doctors related with pride the bravery of the women nurses and the mum Der of instances where nurses went to and fro from the caves to the hospital beds during the raid t0 make sure that all of the patients were under shelter.

With the American Army on the Aisne Front, Sept ', Morning, (By the Associated Press )--Additional forces and supplies were brought up by both the Americans and the French during last night and early today the FranCo-A American line was again advanced. The Allied artillery of both heavy and small calibers is being used to tear holes in the ene- my lines.
 The new forces were brought up along the Aisne to the west of Fishes where the Germans are entrenched along the canal parallel to the river. The big guns behind the Franco Am erican line were set in play upon for nations far to the rear, while every cross road was subjected to a punish ing fire.
 The Franco-American line con- tinued to close slowly but with unerr- ing certainty about the German left flank that had Clung to the sector to the west of Rheims. Particularly de- tCrmincd resistance was displayed by the enemy remaining at the point in the angle made by the line swinging upwards toward the Aisne. The Ger mans used their artillery late on Fri day with all possible vigor and their machine gun crews defended the re- treating army point by point Never thcless the lines of both the French and the Americans were advanced carly today.
 Reports brought in to headquarters indicate that the German divisions in this sector are as certainly bound for the Aisne as those already across that river further to the west. but that they arc determined to exact as big a price as possible before yielding the territory which has already cost them so much to hold.
 The German artillery was active alorg the river front throwing an enormous volume of high explosives, shrap pnol and gas shells into the lines that were constantly harassing them.

The disease has made its appearance
in the federal army at Santa Rosalia

soldiers of the state, whose resistance
is low because of their primitive mode
of living.
The epidemic is well under control
in Juarez and the death rate has been
comparatively low because of the
prompt action of the city board of
health in isolating all cases as rapidly
as they develop. Trains are inspected
at Villa Ahumada and no passengers
suffering from the disease are per-

Washington, Oct 19--On the eve,
apparently, of the coming of another
peace note from Germany. President
Wilson has rejected the plea of Aus
tria- Hungary for an armistice and
peace negotiations, and in doing so
has made clearer the conditions which
the central powers must meet to end
the war
In note written yesterday and
made public soon after it was well on
the way to Vienna today. the presi-
dent, in effect. says there can be no
talk of peace with the Austro- Hun
garian government except upon the
basis of complete liberty for Czecho>
Slovaks and other subject nationali-
ties as free members of the family of
nations. He refuses to entertain the
Austro- Hungarian suggestion for this
reason, without discussing the mill
tary questions dealt with in the re-
ply to Germany.
The Vienna government asked for
negotiations on the basis of the presi-
dents announced program of peace,
mentioning the speech of January
last, in which the president said the
peoples of Austria Hungary should be
accorded the freest opportunity for
autonomous development. The reply
says this is impossible; that the
Czecho-Slovak national council has
been recognized as de facto belliger-
ent government, the justice of the ma
tionalistic aspirations of the Jugo-
Slavs has been recognized and mere
autonomy no longer can be accepted
May BE Far Reaching.
This declaration, which may be far
reaching in it's effect upon Austria
Hungary, where long enslaved peoples
apparently are nearly ready to sweep
away the hated dual monarchy and
the Hapsburg dynasty. clears up what
some critics of the presidents policy
have pointed to as source of endless
controversy in his program of peace.
1t comes one day after the procla-
nation of Emperor Charles federaliz-
ing the Austrian states in desperate
effort to save his government and at
the same time prepare the way for
peace.
Though not mentioned by name,
the Poles, Rumanians and members
of other distinct races held under
Austrian domination, come within the
protection of the principle of self
determination to which America and
the allies are committed. The Austrian
Poles want to join an independent

Czech revolution being expected, the
correspondent adds.
1t is held that Baron Burian's speech
on President Wilson's last note also
is in the nature of an ultimatum to
Germany, peremptory in character. al
though masked in courteous phrasing
1t is considered plain from this speech
that for Austria Hungary the war Is
over, that she cannot go on any long
or, and that if Germany fails to salts
fy President Wilson and the allies,
then the only alternative of the dual
monarchy is a sperate peace.
1t is felt that this must have its in
fluence on the German mind. as well
as the expectation in Berlin, according
to the Berlin correspondent of the
Danish newspaper previously referred
to, that Turkey will comply with the
demands of the allies for surrender.
