VIENNA DENIES TURKS
ASK SEPARATE PEACE
In Full Accord With Central
Powsrs, 1t IL Said.

EASEL, Oct. 5.-Denial that Turkey Is
about to seek a separate peace Is made
in despatch received here from Vienna,
which says that the attitude of Turkey
toward the Central Powers continues
loyal. The despatch adds that all re-
ports that Turkey will follow the course
OF Bulgaria are incorrect, as the Con-
stantinople Government intends to act in
full military and political accord with
the Central Powers.
Another Vienna despatch says that in
stead of new peace measures being in
stituted by the Central Powers the de-
sire for peace always has existed in
Germany. Austria-Hungary and Turkey.
The question Of peace, It is added. has
been the subject OF important delibera-
tons, but without definite decision upon
the details Of the form and the time at
which to undertake new steps toward
peace.
It Is asserted that tho Central Powers
are proceeding in full accord with one
another and desire to prepare the way
toward peace In such q manner that new
measures will be Understood as a con-
tinuation OF the policy Of the Central
Powers.

sumed their advance, differed noticeably
from that Of last Thursday. The stiffen-
ing In the German defence was unmis.
taxable. The whole front is now ade-
auately defended by artillery, every sec
tor having its own admirably devised
protection.
The night preceding the attack was
dark, but absolutely clear until near

| entire day through the ground haze on

although the first detectives were early
attained. the progress made afterward
required caution and courage to achieve,
machine guns being thick in the woods
north of Exerinent, while the artillery
fire was coming from the edge of the
| Argonne and the hills beyond Gesnes.
In the open Aire Valley the advance
was especially difficult. Nevertheless

1t was here. in front OF Romagne, that
the enemy's supreme resistance was ex-
pected and was felt. since Roma Sne is
the pivot OF his main line Of defences.

from the heights east Of the Mouse the

advance despite the desperate efforts OF
the enemy to delay them. The air force
