U. S. Troops Make Steady Gains
in Move Toward. the Enemy
Stronghold at Metz.
FOE BURNING TOWNS
Allied Forces in Macedonia Continue
Offensive Against ~5uIgarians With
Success-More Than 5000
Prisoners Captured.

London, Sept. 1S.-It seems proba.
BILE that a new and mighty blow
against the Teutonic armies in France
will be the Allies answer to the peace
proposals voiced by Austria on behalf
of the Central powers.
From the sea to the Swiss frontier
there is a tension which may forebode
another development of Marshal Fer
dinand Foch's mastery offensive. All
along this battleline there have been
local actions by which the Allies have
tried out the German positions and
gained points OF vantage from which
to launch their mex assault.
Pershing Gathers Big Army.
General j. J.. Pershing's First Ameri-
can Army standing before the fortress
of Metz has Strengthened it's lines
across the base of the st. Mihiel salt
ent. 1t is known that there is a heavy
concentration of men in this region
and it is expected the Americans will
not give the enemy much time to re-
cuperate before delivering a new blow
against this bastion of the German
positions in the western front.
In the Vosges region there is great
activity by the enemy, who evidently
expects the American legions there to
attack the German lines to the west of
the Rhine. In this sector of the bat
tlefront the Americans are standing
on German soil and an assault there
would, if successful, carry the war
nearer to the heart of Germany than
elsewhere along the line. The country
to be traversed by an attacking army,
however, is very rough and lends it.
self admirably to defensive operations.
Offensive in Macedonia.
In Macedonia the Allied forces con
tinue their offensive against the Bull
garians with success. Important posi-
lions have been taken and more than
5000 prisoners captured.
Allied pressure against the Germans
on the western front shows no signs
of abating. In the region of Metz the
enemy is reported to be burning towns
In the valley of the Moselle, probably

So successful was the first thrust OF
the Serbian and French troops on the
Sokol region of the Macedonian front
that the attacking front has been ex.
tended to more than IL miles, on
which the Allies have advanced north
ward more than five miles. (The
| Greeks advanced two to three miles
on a 19-mile 'front.' Several series
of ridges have been given up by the
Bulgarians, who also have lost the
village of Gradeshnitso. A Jugo-Slav
division is fighting with the Allies and
has reached the important height OF

Allies Will Answer Enemy Peace
Offensive With Some Hard
Blows.
PLANS ARE UNKNOWN
Americans Are Expected to Aim at

Capture Cambria and French
to Take Laon.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-Military Off.
Gals here are momentarily expecting
another blow against the German lines
as an answer to the peace proposal OF
the Central powers.
The point of the expected attack is
a matter of wide speculation. Several
simultaneous attacks will be deliv-
cred, 1T is thought, with the Flanders
front, the French operations about
La Fere directed at Laon, and the new
American front across the mouth of
the old st. Mihiel salient as the Iogi-

would strike.

President Wilson Promptly Re-
fuses Invitation tor Peace
Conference.
ABSOLUTISM MUST END
Secretary Lansing Issues Authorized
Statement That America Has Pre-
cisely Stated Only Terms
That Are Acceptable.

Washington, Sept. Is. -Germany's
ace feeler has been Internationally
rejected by the United States. In
doing so the government has spoken
for all the co-belligerents. Almost
Immediately after receiving the Aus
TRAN governments note from the min
lister from Sweden, Mr.. Ekengren,
Secretary Lansing issued this formal
statement:
Il am authorized by the President
to state that the following will be the
reply of this government to the Austro-
Hungarian note proposing an unofficial
conference of belligerents:
The government of the United
States feels that there is only one
reply which it can make to the sug-
gestion of the imperial Austro-Hungar-
ian government. 1t has repeatedly and
with entire candor stated the terms
upon which the United States would
consider peace, and can and will en-
terrain no proposal for a conference
upon a matter concerning which it
has made its position and purpose so
plain"
Mr.. Lansing's statement was given
out within half an hour after he had
received the Austrian proposal. II
would have been forthcoming almost
Immediately on the receipt of the
Austrian note, if 1t had not been
necessary, to avoid the possibility of
grave errors, to make @ careful COM
parison between the official text and
that which was received in news dis
patches from Amsterdam.
Thus emphasis was added to the
declination if any were needed, the
quickness Of the reply indicating the
existence of no shadow of doubt in
the mind Of the Administration as to
wha IL should be. AS soon as Mr..
L~ansing's reply can be put into form
1t will be handed to the Swedish min
ister for transmission to Austria.
There is some reason to believe that
the secretary acted with this unprece-
denied promptness in a matter of such
Importance, with the decision not only
to indicate clearly the position of the
United States government, but per-
haps to anticipate and prevent, SO far
as possible, newspaper discussions of
the Austrian proposition which might
convey to the enemy a misleading i'm
preston that there was any consider
able element in the United States will
Ing to consider a negotiated peace,
such as the "non-binding" discussions
proposed by Austria might develop.
Also, it is understood, there was a
purpose to sound the note which the
Allied powers might repeat in their
W answer. All these powers had
gone on record formally as accepting

In the reply which the United States
government is making to Austria, it
is known that n of the most objec-
tionable features of Baron Burian's
proposition was the secrecy suggested
for the "non-binding" conference.
1t was realized by officials here that
the purpose was to barter away the
rights of various nationalities in star
chamber proceedings so that the VIC
tins would have no knowledge of their
fate until it was beyond recall. This
system of barter was particularly de-
nounced by President Wilson in one
of his speeches.

British Blow Expected.
British attention has been nee
trated to a large extent on clearing up
to the Douai-Cambrai-St. Quentin front
and many observers here believe the
lines have been Strengthened out suf.
ficiently along this sector now for a
movement. 1t has been noted. how.
ever, that British artillery has been
pounding the German lines west Of
Cambria with special vigor recently
which may be the prelude to a direct
drive for the capture of that city.
Since the French are slowly making
their way to a thanking position,
which would force the Germans to
withdraw from Chemin des Danes
lines protecting Laon, some officers
believe a new movement along the
Aisne and probably extending TO the
east of Rheims, is to be anticipated.
II Is pointed out that should the Ger.
mans be forced to withdraw from the
Chemin des Danes, a swift advance
from the Rheims front would tend to
outfiang the whole enemy line from
that point to verdun.
There is no information of an off,
cial character as to General P~ersning's
present operations. The greatest ret
icence apparently is being enforced on
press correspondents in discussing the
tactical disposition of the American
army at this time and to observers
here this suggests that preparations
for a new advance are well under
way.

FARRELL GIVEN ENSICN'S BERTH
 IN U. s. NAVY

R. G. Farrell, vice president of the Bridgeport Screw Co.,, left Bridgeport this morning to take up his duties as ensign in the United States Navy. MT. Farrell is well known in this city, and it is with regret that his friends learn of his departure, but his ability and experience in the line of steel work, so necessary to the country, will doubtless prove of great value to the government at this time.
 Friday afternoon as he said good bye to his staff and employees, he was presented with a handsome gold watch as a token of their affection. At different times MT. Farrell has endeavored to enlist in branches of the service, but defective eyesight has always caused his rejection, but final ly his knowledge of steel products ob- tained the much coveted commission
 MT. Farrell is the son of Mir and Mrs. William H. Farrell of Pittsburgh, Pa
