81. Nation.

Paris, Sept. l8.-(Havas.)-The
Belgian government, after consulta
ton with the allies, according to
the Petit Parisien, has decided to
refuse without elaboration the re.
ported offer of a separate peace
made by Germany.
An Amsterdam dispatch Tuesday
said that dispatches received from
Berlin declared that nothing was
known in competent circles in Ber-
lin regarding the reported separate
peace proposal to Belgium.
Information was received in Lon
don Sunday night to the effect that
Germany had made an offer to Bel
GUM. The terms included the pro-
visions that Belgium should remain
neutral until the end of the war,
that Belgium should use its good
Offices to secure the return of the
German colonies and that pre-war
commercial treaties shall again be
put into operation. The proposal
contained no admission that Ger
many had wronged Belgium nor
anything concerning reparation or
indemnities.

Of 20 German officers, prisoners Of

BRITISH CAPTURE

The assault began at dawn. I'm
fortunately rain began to fall about
2 O'Clock and when the British went
over the top the ground was already
Shiny and hard to negotiate, espe-
cially when the ridges were reached
and the men had to charge up them
Tanks accompanied the troops and
rendered invaluable service in the
early stages of the conflict, which
waxed warm from the start.
The British preliminary lombard
ment was beyond and was followed
by the customary barrage for the
protection of the advancing infan-
try.
The Germans Immediately re-
piled with vicious fire from large
numbers of guns concentrated be-
hind the St. Quentin canal.

Airplane observation was virtual
ly impossible during the first hours
of the fighting from either side, so
that hte gunners were shooting by
map and we're therefore greatly
handicapped.
On the north. Peiziere and a
strongly fortified sugar factory to
the northeast were taken after hard
fighting. Epehy proved a tough
nut to crack. Here the famous Al
pine corps had been brought up and
the German army boasts no better
troops than these.
1t was futile to attempt frontal
attack against this place. which was
fairly bristling with machine guns.
The British accordingly worked
about it to the north and south and
squeezed it out. Ironsoy was car
ried by storm and a hundred prison.
ers were CLEANED from the surviving
garrison.
In the center the Australians had
to fight for every inch of ground
they took, but they pushed steadily
forward until they reached the crest
of the ridge. By $50 o'clock the
Australians had already taken to-
tai of 500 prisoners. Most of these
were Bavarians and men of the first
German reserve division and they
appeared to be of a poor class as
they came struggling back discon-
solately through the drizzling rain.
One of the hottest engagements
took place just south of Leverguier,
where the Germans had fortified
themselves in a mill. This strong
hold was surrounded and 1870 of the
garrison were forced to surrender.
On the right flank there was
equally hard fighting, Holnon had
been taken yesterday as a prelim-
mary to today's attack and from this
point the British went forward. No
great advance was expected in this
zone, however, as the line had al
ready been pushed forward practi-
cally to the old positions.
Last night German airplanes were
busy bombing the St. Quentin sec
tor and the enemy utilized a num-
Der of new type planes of huge size.
Three Of these were shot down east
OF Peronne. They were capable of
seating eight men. The most
astounding thing about them, how
ever, was that they carried bombs
Is feet long which contained 1000
pounds of explosives. This is by
far the biggest bomb the Germans
have yet produced.

Hindenburg Line in Jeopardy.
This city, where the troops of Won
Goeben scored a great victory in
1871, is one of the buttresses of the
Douai- Cambrai-St. QuentinLa Fere-

announced the Germans would not
fall back. With the French in the
outskirts of La Fere, with St. Quen-
tin invested and with British battling
doggedly for Cambria, the great Hin
denburg defense system is in danger
of being preached at three of its
strongest points. Once ousted from
it the Teutons will have back of
them no strong Notifications until
they reach the Maubebuge defenses.
The taking of St. Quentin remains
a difficult task. however, for the
Germans are in strong defensive po-
sitions and a captured order from

teenth reserve corps emphasized the
importance of the terrain they hold.

AMERICAN AIR

BATTLE RECORD
Yankee Aviators Are Proving
Themselves Superior to Foe
in CombatS Over Lines
in France.

American Headquarters in
France, Sept. l8.-(Reuter's .)-An
American patrol of five machines
had an exciting experience from
which, much to its surprise, it
emerged triumphantly. The airmen
were flying at an altitude of about
5000 feet when suddenly seven
Fokker machines dropped out of a
cloud above them. 1t was pure &C
cident, but it unfortunately placed
the German planes in the ideal posi-
| ton for hght-just behind and
some 200 feet above the Ameri-
cans.
The engines of the machine
driven by the patrol leade was
firing badly and two of t. Fox
kers attacked him. He gave him
self up for lost, being unable to get
his machine to do anything. Just
then the youngest member of the
patrol, Lieutenant Frank Hayes,
who was in his first fight, engaged
one of the enemy planes with such
fury that it was sent to the
ground.
Pilot is Shot.
In the meantime, the leader, who
had been desperately working to
get rid of his pursuers, got his en-
CINE going and making a "virage"
shot the pilot who was just behind
him. the enemy machine taking fire.
During the battle another German
airplane was sent crashing in flames
to the earth and the remaining four
of the enemy made for their own
lines.
Shot Through the Head.
Llother American pilot, Capt
Charles J. Biddle of Andalusia, Pa,
who has FIVE enemy planes to his
credit, did a neat piece of work on
the second day of the advance. He
lay in wait at an altiture of $4,000
feet for German two-seater, which
at once accepted his challenge.
After a considerable expenditure of
ammunition on both sides, the OBJ
server in the German machine was
shot through the head. The Ger
man pilot, however, continued to
fight until his gun was disabled. He
then attempted to escape, but was
wounded. Captain Biddle preferred
to capture the German, SO he fol-
lowed him toward the American
lines and they made perfect land
ing, Just north of Nancy.
