Berlin, Oct. 6, via Basic. Switzerland. Emperor William today issued a
 proclamation to the German army and navy in which after announcing that the Macedonian front had crumbled, he declared that he had decided, in accord with his allies, to again offer peace to the enemy. The text of the efnperor's proclamation reads;
 "F'or months past the enemy with
 enormous exertions and almost without pause in the fighting has storned aEainst your lines. In weeks of the struggle, often without repose, you l have had to persevere and resist a numerically far superior enemy. There ] in lies the greatness of the task which | has been set for you and which you are fulfilling Troops Of all the Ger
 man states are doing their part and are heroically defending the fatheriand on foreign soil. Hard is the task. 1 My navy is holding its own against l the united enemy naval forces and is
 unwaveringly supporting the army in 1 it's difficult struggle
 ''The eyes of those at home rest with
 pride and admiration on the deeds of 1 the army and the navy. I express to
 you the thanks of myself and the fF 1 therland.
 AThe collapse of the Macedonian front has occurred in the midst of the hard
 est struggle. In accord with our al- | lies, I have resolved once more to
 offer peace to the enemy, but I will
 only extend my hand for an honorable peace. We owe that to the heroes who | have laid down their lives for the l fatherland and we make that our duty | to our children.
 Whether arms will be lowered still | is question. Until then we must not slacken. We must as hitherto, exert all our strength unweaailx ta bald aiaI

 Striking the Germans on a front that has been quiet for the past six weeks. the French have broken through and advanced their lines. The blow was launched between Castel and Mailly-Raineval. on the Pieardy. south of Amiens
 The attack was along a front of ap- prOximatelv three miles. It swept about a mile to the south. and cleared out a number of strong enemy posi- tions. The French penetrated the Ger man lines to a depth Of more than a mile.
 The American attack on Cantigny some time ago. advanced the line ma terially at that point while the Aus trians and Americans on July and 6 cut deeply into the German lines at Hamel and villers- -BretonneuX. south Of the Somme The French nt- tack was launched at a point between positions of the Americans at Cantigly snSl the fnstriaNSns fu~-hpr north
 The French lines south of Castel have been parallel to and west of the Avre river. The success gained there carries the French up to the hills tO the west Of the river and into posi- tions which aDDear to dominate the villages Of dOrisel. on the west bank. and Nforieul. on the east bank of the river. If the attack should continue successfully the French may be able to press the foe across the Avre and thus have an admirable defensive qO- sition.
 Between the Marne and the Aisne the French have continued their O-- fensive opersti It is reported that the village of LongOont south or Corey, the capture of which was reported on Thursday. has been taken by General Petain's men who have also made pro gress north of Corey. with the Chav- igny farm.

 The French and Italians in Albania have carried their lines steadily north ward. The town of Berat. the most important point in southern Albania. has fallen. It is reported large Quan- titles of supplies were destroyed by the retreating Austrians
 Official reports would appear to show that the advance of the French and Italians is reaching farther and farther east into the mountains and toward the rear of the Bulgarian posi- tons around MOnastif. Serbian po- sitions near that city have been sav- agely attacked by the B,Ngarians. who. after gaining mOmentary fOOthOld In the Serbian trenches were driven out There have been local actions in the mountain sectors of the front in nor thern Ealy, one Austrian attack hay ing been repulsed with heavy losses
