Air Battles Take Place of
Ground Fighting.
Planes Are Extremely Active
on Metz Front.

With the Americans on the Metz
Front, Sept. 1f.-Fighting on the
Metz front has largely been trans
ferred from the ground to the air.
With the boche hurrying reinforce
ments here, the concentration between
the Mouse and the Moselle. of air
fighters of all types is resulting in
constant air duels. Anti-aircraft guns
are also continuously barking along
the whole front.
Numerous boche planes have been
brought down. The American and
French pursuit machines are keeping
the enemy confined practically behind
his own lines. Whenever the Germans
cross the front they are speedily
chased back.
Meantime, day and night bombing
by Americans, Italians and British
continues actively. The Americans
made nine bombing trips yesterday.
1t is established that the Germans
already have disbanded 10S infantry
battalions, equivalent TO tweleve divi-
sions, to make up the losses resulting
from the years fighting.
Five thousand women are being
modified for certain auxiliary service.
Boys of Is also are being used.
The principal advance is being
made between the Mad and Moselle
rivers. The Germans are busily dig
ging along the rear lines. while our
positions are being steadily strength
eued

Joplin, Mo-, Sept. 17.-No trains
have been moved on the Missouri &
North Arkansas railroad for thirty-six
hours, the entire line being made idle
by the strike of 100 shopmen at Har-
rison, Ark.
At a mass meeting of citizens in
Harrison, this morning an effort was
made to persuade the striking shop
men to return to their work pending
consideration of their demands for
higher wages. This the shopmen de-
clined to do.
The road originally was taken over
by the government and later turned
back to Festus J. Wade of st. Louis
as receiver. The shopmen are de-
handing that they be paid wage
equal to that paid by government con-
trolled roads. and demand also that
time the government first took over
the road.
Citizens to Appeal.
An appeal will be made. by the citi-
zens of Harrison to Director General
McAdoo asking that the government
again take charge of the road. "A
daily average of twenty cars of ap-
pies have been shipped from Harrison.
and today the railroad yards are fill
ed with cars loaded ready for ship
ment.
No trains are being operated on any
part of the line and officials say four
hundred men including shopmen and

NOTE TO The POPE.
Austria Asks Pontif To Back
Peace Offensive.
Puts Up Fine Talk About Suf-
ferings of Nations.

Amsterdam, Sept 17.-Baron Bur-
ian. the Austro-Hungarian, foreign
minister on September II, according
to a Vienna dispatch sent a. note to
the Apostolic nuncio at Vienna. Mon
signor Di Bonzo, stating that his gov
eminent had decided to propose a
peace conference and urging the vatf-
can to support it,
The Austrian note to the vatican
read as follows:
AFTER four years of unheard of
struggle and gigantic sacrifices the
Europe has not been able to bring
about a decision. Animated by a spirit
of reconciliation. which already has
been expressed in its note OF Deem
Der IL. 1916. the Austro-Hungarian
government has decided to approach
all belligerent states and invite them
to pave the way to a peace which will
be honorable for all parties by a con-
fidentia1 and unbinding exchange of
thoughts.
Full of gratitude the Austro-Hun-
garian hereby remembers that touch
ing appeal which his holiness the
Pope sent to all belligerents last year
with the exhortation that they seek an
understanding and live again in
brotherly concord. Firmly convinced
that the holy father today also longs
that suffering mankind will soon again
enjoy the blessing of peace, we con-
fidently hope he will sympathize with
our note and support it with the moral
influence which is recognized all over
the world.
Animated by this thought. request
your excellency to submit the enclosed
text of the note to his holiness
In the communication issued by the
Austrian foreign office in connection
with the note to the belligerents and
neutrais regarding the proposed peace
conference, it was announced that the
step taken by Austria had been
| brought to the knowledge of the holy
see in a special note. 1t was added
| that an appeal had been made to the
pope's interest in peace.

Each said that Austria's move was
German-lnspired. the private putting
it:
II don't know anything about Aus
tria, but it's easy to see the fix Ger
many is in on this front. She is whip
ped and she is squeaking."
The generals view was slightly diff
ferent.
1--WE can't say yet that Germany is
beaten" he said, but she can see de-
Germany's hope, SO far as the British
are concerned, is to prevent being
compelled to evacuate the strong
Hindenburg defenses this fall. She
wants to keep US in the barren, I'M
sheltered ground this side of the line
to say worth listening to. but if we
agree to listen we mustn't stop fight
ing in the meantime"
They Talk Like Victors.
The other officer mentioned said:
I'VE must read the Austrian offer
in the light of the proposal ofeVon
Payer, who recently was authorized to
speak in Gremany's name. He talks
in the tone of a victor. We know
now who will be the victor eventually.
Therefore. you would have se1f-pre-
sumed victors trying to reach an
agreement. 1t couldn't be done.
Whatever happens we mustn't
cease fighting until there is a reason.
German Troops Depressed.
Recently captured letters and pris-
oners show the utter depression of
the German troops. A number OF
letters openly talk "revo1ution"- a
word that a Germans vocabulary
heretofore was not supposed to con-
tain. In contrast to this attitude, one
has only to see the British armies
afield and on the roads The armies
seem to grow bigger weekly. There
are more men, horses, guns and
tanks. -1~.i

awaiting their own chance to help

MUST RETREAT SOON
Germans Cannot Long Continue To
Hold Hindenburg Line.
BY ]. w. r. MASON


New York, Sept 17.-President Will
sons rapid fire counter attack against
the Austro-Hungarian peace offensive
VIII soon start Won Hindenburg re-
treating once more out of western
France.
1t is to be expected that the kaiser
will hold fast a little longer until he
sees theirs is absolutely no hope of any
OF the allies being trapped into a Sc
cret conference for ending the war;
but President Wilson has made in
evltable the resumption of the west
IRONY retirement. Won Hindenburg
must now see he cannot tarry long. if
ne does not desire the American in
vasion OF Germany to go by default.
The American advance at st. MihfeI
mas had an effect not only on the hat
tie front west of Metz, but also along
tne entire line running turnout Lor-
ralne and. into A1sace to the Swiss
border. There are indications that Won
Hlndenburg has begun already the re-
Increment of certain vulnerable nosi.
IONS in this area and is preparing to
ABANDON outposts now lightly held. at
Inc ilrst sign OF an American advance.
Germans Watch Americans.
Patrol encounters in Alsace and
Lorraine are being increasingly report
eo and raids by the Germans to secure
information concerning the disposition
OF the American troops are escnecialIv
noticeable in Alsace.
Ihe German general staff cannot
Iall TO have been deeply impressed bv
the fact that among the America
units participating in the st. MfhieI
offensive were some removed from the
Marine. 1t must also have been
noticed by the Germans that scarcely
any Americans at all have taken part
IN the Pfcardy and Flanders drive, tho
large numbers were known to have
been there recently.
Pershing's Army Grows,
The conclusion Won Hindenbure
must draw from these facts is that as
the west front is being shortened in
FLANDERS. Picardy and Champagne
the Americans thereby released are
being added to General Pershing's
threatening concentration along the
German border. The reduction of the
trench mileage in the west, therefore.
is adding to the menace against the
Rhine, even tho it permits the forma-
ton of q German reserve Rhine armv.
This is one of the ineradicable diff
culties of Won Hindenbure's strag etic
situation making Germany's defeat
certain.
