Rumored in London That Definite
Proposals Have Been Made
to United States.
AUSTRIA ALSO WILLING
Vienna and constantInopIe Said to
Have Notified Germany They
Will Accept President
Wilson's Terms.
London, Oct. 14.-Turkey has
made a definite peace proposal to
President Wilson, according to re-
ports in circulation here.

London, Oct. H.-According to a
dispatch to the Central News from
Amsterdam, Austria-H Hungary and Tur-
key have informed Germany that they
will accept President Wilson's peace
terms.
Reuters, Limited, says 1t learns that
Turkey has approached the United
States with a view to peace.
Wekerie Sees King, Resigns.
Budapest, Oct. 14.-Dr. Alexander
Wekerle, the Hungarian prime minis.
ter, announced his resignation after
an audience with King Charles.
Vienna newspapers received here
say that a ministerial crisis In Hun
gary is imminent and that a coalition
cabinet is probable.
Revolt In Turkey Reported.
Geneva, Oct. IA grave moment oil
unrest is reported at Constantinople
of such magnitude that certain quar-
ters call it the beginning of a revolu
tion directed against the Young Turks
The movement had it's inception
after General Allenby's victories in
Palestine and Bulgaria's surrender and
during the last few days has rapidly
increased in scope.
1t is reported that the Turkish EN-
bassy at Berlin has forbidden the
Turkish legation at Berne to make
any statement regarding the matter.
Spanish Embassy in Dark.
Washington, Oct. 14.-Proposals Of
peace on the part of Turkey reported
in London dispatches, had not beer
received in Washington. Officials ex
pressed deep interest in the reported
move by the Turkish government, but
stated positively that no proposal had
reached them.
AT the Spanish embassy, which has
charge of Turkish affairs in the United
States, and through which any peace
proposal from Co~nstantinople undoubt
edly would be transmitted, it was said
nc intimation had come from Madrid
that a communication of this nature
might be expected.
Definite peace proposals by Turkey
would occasion little surprise in Off
cial circles here, however.
1t was announced hat Turkey was
to dispatch a note similar to that sent
by Germany and AUSTRIA Hungary, and
in view of the fact hat none has beer
received, there has been a feeling in
some quarters for several days that
very definite appeal might be forth
coming soon.
The setting up Of a new government
composed OF elements less pro-Germar
than the previous cabinet has strength
ened the belief that Turkey Nigh,
decide to offer peace similar to thai
accepted by Bulgaria.

Paris, Oct. 14.-Continuing their
progress on the whole Champagne
front, French troops have entered

nounced.
London, Oct. 1.-THE German lines
along the Suippe river in the Cham
payne sector in France have collapsed.
Progress made by the French in this
part of the battlefront would seem to
indicate that the .enemy's retreat
northward is more of a fight than an
orderly retirement.
French forces are reported to have
reached the Retourne river between
Houdilecourt and Sault St. Remy,
Houdilecourt is less than four miles
east of Neufchatel, one of the princi-
pal German bases back of the Cham.
payne front. This advance brings the
French up to within two and one-half
miles of the Aisne river and threatens
the railroad line that parallels that
stream. Further east the French have
not advanced so swiftly but have made
good progress.
Near Rail Junction n.
Near the Argonne forest, General
Gouraud's men have swept northward
and are officially reported to be less
than two miles from Vouzie res, an inn
portant railroad junction. They are
near Sugny and have almost reached
Machault.
French and Italians have moved
rapidly along the Chemin Des Danes

refers to the section in the vicinity OF
La Fere where the first German regi
ment was reported. These fires are
looked upon as evidence that the enc.

as well as the high wooded massif OF
st. Gobain to the south.
East of st. Quentin and Cambria the
French, British and Americans are
still moving eastward, but their ad
vance is being retarded by German
rear guards. The Allied progress
however, appears to be rapid enough
to threaten serious results to the Ger
man armies to the south which are
also menaced by the collapse OF the
enemy lines in the Champagne sector
Between Lens and Douai the British
are sweeping forward over a wide
front and have moved up to within
striking distance of Douai and Lille.

MEDAL FOR I

Amsterdam, April 1S.-Professor
Haber, head Of the Chemical Re-
search Institute Of Berlin, has just
been awarded the. Bunsen medal for
a lecture on the Relationship of the
Exact Sciences to Militarism." The
medal, it is stated. is no longer made
of gold, but ''of the best German steel:
as is appropriate to the times"
The lecturer argued that the war
has established the necessity for. the
closest cooperation between men Of
science and military organizers and
leaders. He said that "this co-opera-
ton will be necessary as long as wars
remain necessary, and that will be for
a long time
Describing the development of the
use of gas in warfare. Professor
Haber said: "Gas attacks arose on
both sides out Of the requirements OF
the situation. Throughout history.
attempts have always been made to
smoke out the enemy when a war has
become stationary. The reason why
the use of gas is disliked by our
enemies is that the use OF projections
against gas attack calls for a special
measure Of discipline and intelligence
in the common soldier"
