BoCHE LOST 40 PER CENT.
Field at Moeuvres Strewn With En-.
emy Dead.

British Army Headquarters, Thurs
day. Sept 49, via Montrcal.-(R (Reu-
ter's) (Evcning. 1.-The ground over
which the Germans counter attacked
the British at Moeuvrcs and Trescault
is covered with dead and the enemy
casualties are estimated to have been
40 per cent. of the troops engaged. The
Germans attacked in dense waves, but
the assautng ranks were moved down
by the British defenders.
Particularly strong were the Ger
man efforts against the British posi-
tions east of High and Havrincourt
woods. Here the enemy reached the
British position at several places, but
very few Germans were able to get out
alive.
Prisoners taken by the British say
that the allied attack was expected
north of Gouzeaucourt. When the
British struck on a fifteen mile front
south of that town the Germans
changed their plans and assumed the
offensive north of Gouzeaucourt with
disastrous results. In an order to his
troops concerning raiding activity Gen.
Won Buclow. commanding the Seven
teenth army, says:
This shows that at the present time
the British have a fighting superiority
over our troops in no mans land.'"

to dispatch from. that city today.

made by A. j. Balfour, the British for

tro- Hungarian note was put out adding:
only by discussion and free expression
is peace possible
Baron Burian the Austrian foreign
minister in an address to German MEM
bers of the chamber of deputies, said
that the peace offer had been with
Austria's allies-Germany. Bulgaria and
Iurkey-beforc it was made, and that
there would be no weakening Of the
Prom reports received from abroad.
the rejection of the Austro- Hungarian
governments suggestion that a pre-
liminary discussion of the peace ques-
ton be entered into can hardly be
longer doubted, The official reply to
Foreign Minister Burian's note has not
yet been received and there, re the
reasons which prompted the attitude
or the governments of the entente can
not be discussed at present. Only
from Secretary Balfour is an exl,aus-
i've discussion of our suggestion avail
able. His arguments show how cor
rectly Baron Burian's proposal Judged
the situation, and that only the a.iop-
tion of Baron Burian's line Of think- Z
ing could master the confusion OF
minds prevailing everywhere until
today.

Mr.. Balfours speech 1t must be
pointed out that it contains a series
of rash conclusions concerning the at-
titude of the central powers toward
concrete peace questions which he
would not have arrived at ha he en-
tered into a discussion in the spirit OF
Baron Burian's proposal. "Only il dis
cussed under conditions free from the
influences of passion can the peace
question make that progress which is
in the interest of humanity.
