early today off the Delaware break

There was no indication as to the

recalled that mines were laid in
these waters by the submarines
which carried out the first raids off
the Atlantic coast and that the oil

sunk by striking one of them.

Germany ReneWs Protest
Against Use of Shot Guns

energetically and expects from the
United States government that steps
will be taken Immediately to discon-
tinue the use of shotguns.
1T is pointed out to the govern
ment of the United States that a
prisoner on whom a shotgun am
munition is found forfeits his life"
Washington, Sept. 29.-The Ger
man protest against the use of shot
guns by American troops has been
received at the state department and
all answer soon will be dispatched.
Shot guns are used by American
troops, it was said today, only as
authorized by the accepted rules of
war. They are employed in gen.
cral police work and in guarding
prisoners, being more desirable for
such work than the high powered
army rifles because the firing of the
latter might result in the death or
injury OF persons it was not intend
ed to hit. -
Germany's threat of reprisals is
not causing any anxiety among Am
crican officials. The Americans

DEPARTMENT OF

FROM GERMANS
Part of Ardennes Also Passes
Into Hands of French for
First Time Since
1914.

Paris, Sept. 2e.-(Havas.)- .)-Since
Friday the entire department of the
Somme has been liberated from the
German invaders. In the last three
days part of the department of the
Ardennes has passed. into French
hands for the first time since 1914.
Paris, Sept 29.-The allied ad-
vances on four sectors from the
North sea to the Meuse continue and
important strategical points are
being taken from the Germans by
the sledgehammer blows of the
French, British, American and Bel
gian forces.
Not since the first battle of the
Marne has there been an attack to
compare in extent with the present
operations. The new thrust of the
Anglo-Belgian armies was a COM
plete surprise to the Germans and
is meeting with marked success. 1t
is being made against territory held
by the enemy since 1914. The num-
Der of prisoners increase hourly and
the advance goes on steadily de-
spite the fierce resistance of the Ger
mans
The power of the Anglo Belgian
attack is shown by the fact that the
Germans have lost the great Hout-
hulst forest and the village of Ghel-
uvelt, the key to the Ypres-Menin
road. 4
Line Pierced at Four Points.
Meanwhile the plight of the Ger-
mans in the Cambria sector has
been aggravated BY the loss of valu-
able railway communications. The
enemy in that region is now in a
serious position and with one alter
native, that of abandoning the Hin
denburg line, which already has been
pierced at four points.
On the Champagne-Verdun front
the armies of Generals Gouraud and
Liggett are progressing steadily.
The French and American forces in
the last "a hours captured the strong
positions of Somme-Py, Manre,
Gratreuil and Bouconville and had
extended the advance east of the
Argonne. Since the beginning of
the attack in this section General
Gouraud has broken the resistance
of 2l German divisions.
General Ludendorff's task is be-
coming desperate. His mobile re-
serve has decreased markedly and he
has no sector from which he can
take troops to meet any of the four
allied thrusts.
General Mangin's army yesterday
performed a master stroke in the
capture of Fort Malmaison and this

Bulgaria's sincerity in proposing
an armistice is taken for granted
by most editorial writers here, not
withstanding slight reservations
made by some of them. They are
one, however, in agreeing that Bull
garia, in desperate plight, will have
to make peace or have peace thrust
upon her.
Turkeys Surrender Forecast.
ut will mean the reconstruction
of Serbia" says the Journal, "and
therefore will compel the central
powers to form another Danube
front and return the territory taken
from the Roumanians, which coun-
try is beginning to think of revenge
on Germany. Turkey, cut off from
the central powers, will be obliged
to throw down her arms"
1T is not in accordance with our
principles to enslave any race" says
the Matin. ut will suffice, then, for
Bulgaria, after returning what she
has stolen, to give us guarantees by
demobolizing her army and placing
the control of her railroads in allied
hands" -
Ruse Suspected by Serbian Premier.
Beware of the Bulgar," says
Nikola P. Pachitch, Serbian premier
and representative of that govern
ment at the interallied conference
here. In a statement printed in the
Petit Journal today, M. Pachitch
says:
Il firmly believe Bulgaria's action
barely conceals se or scheme.
The Bulgars want to gain time.
Why this offer when their armies
are not definitely beaten and are
still able to resist, and their coun-
try hardly invaded? 1t is simple.
They wish to bring up reinforce
ments and then get back to their
defense lines"
Send Troops to Bulgaria.
Paris, Sept. 29.-(Havas. )-Ad-
miral Won Hintze, German foreign
minister, in a speech before the
main committee of the reichstag
yesterday, said that as soon as the
first alarming news came from the
Macedonian front the German high
command sent to Bulgaria impor-
tant forces taken from the available
reserves.
In the opinion of military ex-
perts, Admiral Won Hintze said, the
Austro-G German units would be
ample to re-establish the military
situation, but Notwithstanding there
were several very unfavorable fac
tors in the situation.
Neither for Bulgaria nor for
us can the game be considered as
lost" he declared. A Sofia dis
patch says the attitude of the So
cialist party was one of the decisive
factors in the decision taken by
King Ferdinand and his ministers.
