ADULTERATION OF
 FOOD IS PLAGUE
 THRUOUT GERMANY

New York, Oct. 5.-Adultcration of food and profiteering from the sale of substitutes for food have become d plague in Germany. This state ment is made by The Chemical. Insti- ute of Leipsiz and is publishel in the Berlin Tageblatt.
 f: Dr. Roehrig, writing the report for the institute. said the mineralizing of food stuffs Was increasing. Gyp sum and chalk are used to adHlteratc flour, baking powder and spices. Saw dust. strawdust. and nutshell dust are sold at the incredible prices as food adulterants. Carpenters glue is used in the manufacture of puddinS powder, and flour sweepings in the baking of bread. Foreign substitutes found in the bread included flax fab rics, cotton, wood pulp, straw and sand.
 The bread of one bakery contained 13 per cent of copper. In pepper was found S4 per cent of ashes and 2 per cent of sand.
 Some of the food protiteers are be- ing sent to prison as we'll as being fined. In one case. reported by the Tagebiatt a storekeeper in Dresden was sentenced to one year in prison and to pay fine of 192.292 marks.

 worth,

Topeka, Kans., Oct. 5.-Applica- tion for habeas corpus, seeking the release of fourteen negro soldiers now serving sentence in the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth, for participation in the Houston riot, was filed today in the United States district court here.

 Huns Cause

By The Associated Press.
 Basel, Switzerland, Oct. 5.-Denial that Turkey is about to seek a separ- ate peace is made in a dispatch re- celved here from Vienna which says that the attitude of Turkey toward the tn Central Powers continues loyal. me dispatch adds that all reports that Turkey will follow the course of Bulgaria are incorrect, as the Con- stantlnople government intends to act in full military and political ac- cord with the Central Powers,
 Another Vienna dispatch says that instead of new peace measures being instituted by the Central Powers the desire for peace always has existed m III Germany, Austria Hungary and turkey: The question of peace, it is added, has been the subject of impor- tant deliberations, but without defin- lte decision upon the details of the form and the time at which to under take new steps toward peace.

 put they were not satisfied to give only ot their means. As soon as the United States declared war, a recruit. ing campaign was undertaken to en. list as many of their men as possible In OCT Army.

 Such a record of patriotic endeav. or Justifies a desire to know more of the Czech-SloVaks in our midst. why they came to this country, where they are living, and what trades they en- gabe in.
 The first immigration of czechs into the United States took place in the '5O's, as a result of the persecu- tlon by the Austrian government of those who had participated in the uprising against it in the Revolu- tion of 1848. They were chiefly of the intellectual class, who settled in New York, Chicago, and St. Louis, and agricultural workers, who settled in Nebraska, Iowa, and the Dakotas, FOLLOW CZECH-IN AMERICA . They were fine citizens and loyally rallied to the cause of freedom and the Union during the Civil War To- day the monument to the "Lincoln Rifle Company is the most promi- nent feature of the National Bohe- miam cemetery of Chicago.
 Although almost one-half of all the Czechs in the United States are still to be ound on the farms, the charac- ter of Czech immigration began to change in the sos, the majority of them after that date being skilled workmen.
 Slovaks Oppressed by Austria. ward the close of the nineteenth cen tury. In the decade 190O-191O al- most 350,000 arrived here. They are mostly miners and unskilled work men. Their lower educational stote is due to the severe oppression which they have suffered for years from their Hungarian masters. The May gars have. kept them in economic po- verty, prevented their r@having schools of their own, and prohibited the use of their own language wherever pos sible.
 The result is that, until recently the Slovaks did not have strong racial consciousness. But the past five years have seen a remarkable growth of unity of feeling on their part with the Czechs, to whom they are indissolubly bound by common racial ties and common aims and suf- ferings. They prefer to be spoken of as one people, the Czecho-Slovaks, and their national aim is for one uni ted independent state, comprising Bohemia, Moravia, Slcvakia, and part of Silesia. However, those of them who have become naturalized Ameri- cans have no wish to leave this coun- try. Unlike some other immigrant people, the Cpechs settled here in- tending to remain, and few have re- turned to the mother country.

With All Speed Cables General Per
 shing to General March Saturday.

Washington, Oct. 5.-ReneWed as surance that American casualties are made public as rapidly as received, from General Pershing was given by General March today at a conference with the senate military committee: He said the war department is behind about 15,OOO names in announcing minor casualties, reports of which are brought over by courier, but the lists of dead and seriously wounded are cabled and given to the public with the least possible delay.
 Discussion of the subject was brought up by Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, of Nebraska, who insisted that the department was holding up the names unnecessarily.

 Doubts Austria
 Peace Proposal
Holland Asserts Country Has Not Sent Out Notice
 For Peace Conference
By The Associated Press.

Washington, Oct 5.-Doubt was expressed today by officials of the state department that Austria had made a new proposal for peace con- ference through Holland as reported yesterday from Amsterdam on the strength of Berlin press dispatches. It was suggested that the report might have grown out of the Aus trian proposal of several weeks ago which was so promptly rejected by President Wilson. No new offer has reached the state department through the Dutch government or any other source, and no news of one has been received from any of the allies.

The Hague, Oct. 5.-Holland has not invited the belligerents to nego- tiate for peace, it was declared by the foreign office today. There is not a word of truth in the statement of the Berlin Tageblatt to that effect, the official announcement states.

gins troops continued their advance
this morning on the Chemin des Danes,
while on the right General Berthelot
attacked, crossing the Vesle River at
Goulot Farm. He took the village of
LIE Grand Hameau and advanced nearly
two miles ncrth of Les Venteaux and
reached the southern edge of the viii
lage of Montigny. Berthelot's attack
appears likely to derange the German
plans and hasten the retirement of the
enemy.
South of ST. Quentin the enemy de-
livered fierce counter attacks in a vain
effort to recapture Hill SS The reac-
tion on the front of General Gouraud's
army was also very violent in the
neighborhood of Sante- Marie -a-Py.
Resistance Is Diminished
The diminished resistance in front of
General Mangin's troops confirms the
fact that the enemy is making a sys-
temntic retirement. This retreat to

termittent defences here and there,
seems likely to extend.
The rapid succession of heavy blows
the Allies have dealt from the sea to
the Meuse have not only greatly
shaken the Hindenburg line, but have
brought the fighting at some points
close enough to the secondary line of
defence to make that also look pre-
carious.
Desperate Stand Expected
Threatened at Cambrai and LIE Cate
let, this line may furnish q temporary
solid support from the region of Sois-
some to the valley of the Aine, but
north of the Argonne. where it joins
the Hindenburg line. the advance Of
General Gouraud's men in liaison with
the Americans has given the Germans
such worry that they are hurrying up
reserves and counter attacking with
the greatest energy.
1t is there that they may be expected
to make their most desperate stand, to
protect the eventual retirement of the
forces to the west and defend the Briey
Basin and the Stenay Gap. which is a
vital route of communications for them
if they are unable to hold the line of
the Meuse from their present position
in the north.

By French Attack
Above the Vesle

LONDON, Sept. 80 (By The Associ-

attack to-day between the Vesle and
Aisne rivers. The battle line now runs
to Revillon, Roman, Montigny and
cast of Jonchery. This is a ten-mile
extension of the battlefront.
Pushing the Germans hard on the
front north of the Aisne, the French
to-day have reached the Ose-Aisne
Canal, reports from the battlefront
show. Half of the Chemin- -das Danes.
from which the enemy is retiring, has
been captured.

Will Precede the Victorious

rcss has been made to-day on the
st. Quentin Cambrai battlefront.
The 1st Division, south Of Bellen-
glise, resumed the attack this morn
ing and gained the high ground
about Thorigny, capturing the VII
lage and the east end of the canal
tunne! of LIE Tronquoy, taking many
prisoners Here it joined the troops
OF the 32d Division, who during the
night carried the dcfences of the
tunnel on the eastern side and capt
urcd Lc Tronquoy village.
Continuing its advance to day, this
latter division made progress on the
high ground northeast of Tronquoy
and east of Nauroy.
On the left English and Australian
troops attacked northward along
the spurs lending from Nnuroy to
Gouy. Pressing their advance with
great determination astride the Hin
denburg system, they ovcrcame the
resistance Of strong forces of the
enemy and captured the greater part
of the high ground south of Gouy,
with many prisoners.
Further north English troops re-
captured Villers- Guislan, together
with the spur southeast of that viii
lagc Before midday also they had
taken Gonncleu and reached the
Schcldt Canal on their front from
Vendhuill northward.
The New Zealanders also cleared
the west bank of the canal as far
north as Crcvecoeur. English troops
have had hard fighting about Rumilly
and north of the villages, but have
progressed and established them
selves along the Rumilly Cambria
road.
North of Cambrai the enemy again
resisted our advance strongly, en-
pIoying considerable forces and coun
ter attacking frequently and vio-
lently.
In spite of his efforts, the Car
dian troops again progressed in this
neighborhood, capturing prisoners
and inaicting heavy losses on the
enemy.
Successful minor operations were
carried out this morning. English
troops advanced their line to the
west bank Of the Layes River, be-
tween Neuve Chapelle and Picantin.
At the same time progress was made
by our troops southwest of Fleur-
baiS. More than fifty prisoners were
captured in these enterprises.
LONDON DAY.--In the oper-
alton yesterday north of st. Quentin
the Midland Division alone took
1000 prisoners and forty guns.
Between Bellicourt and Gonnelieu
the enemy resistance yesterday was
obstinate. American, Australian and

until late evening. In spite of the
strong opposition they gained ground
and took many prisoners.

advanced so rapidly at first that some
were checked by their own barrage

immensely strong machine gun posi-
tlon at the entrance of the subterra-

vanced it became clear that the battle
was developing into a victory. Progress
through the Siegfried meshwork of
trenches was naturally slow, but the
Allied troops succeeded almost every

opposition seemed unable to arrest
their advance. The enemy artillery

personal equipment abandoned by the
enemy appears to be quite new
