Haig Attacks on Wide Front
South of the SenSee Riuer

FRANCE. September 81 (Reuter's).-
Field Marshal Haigs forces at dawn
this morning delivered an attack over
wide front. A heavy rain falling
during the early hours made tho work
of assembly more difficult. but some
time before zero all the troops were
in position, the rain had ceased and
had been replaced by a thick haze,
which assisted in bewildering the en-
emy. as to the extent and direction of
our movement.
About nine German divisions (122,-
900 men) are understood to be oppos-
ing Haig's men. So far the battle
seems to be going well for the British.
With the sun. the morning broad
ened into clear weather and the Brit
ish airmen were able to report the
progress of the battle. The Canadian
troops pushed forward on the north
ern flank of the attack.
BY $50 o'clock this morning the
British appeared to have crossed the
Canal du Nord defenses on a front of
more than three miles and to have ad-
vanced to maximum depth of ap.
proximately a mile and a quarter.

LONDON. September e7.-British
troops attacked on wide front south
Of the Sensee river this morning, ac-
cording to a report received here
from Field Marshal Haig.
First reports indicate that salts
factory progress is being made.
The British lines were advanced
slightly north of the Sensee in a local
operation during last night and there
were successful local. attacks in Elan

(The Sensee river is a small stream
flowing to the northeast and parallel
ing on the south the Scarpe river,
which flows past Arras and passes
through the important city of Douai,
one of the principal German bases on
the Artois front in France. 1t is
probable that the British attack is
made for the purpose Of driving
a wedge between Douai and Cam
brai, about fifteen miles to the south.)

are the volker positions. which connect a
series of strong places. All these must
be passed before the Kriemhilde posi-
tions-the line on which the enemy has
placed his main reliance-can be
reached.
But the inroads already made by
the Americans have been great. On
the American right, which rested on
the Meuse at Regneville, Gen. Per-
shing.s men early in the day forced
their way. across brook and pushed
the stubborn opposition clean through
the woods beyond. Then. swinging
down from the crest Of the hill. they
cleared Gricourt. In their stride they
swept through Jure wood and finally.
after some stif fighting, brought
their advance to a close by the cap
ture Of Dannevoux.
The advance of the Americans was
six miles deep Notwithstanding that
the artillery of the enemy was massed
on the farther bank Of the river and
that it was thought this likely would
make an advance In this sector ex-
tremely difficult 1t is possible that
the gassing of the Germans by the
Americans, which had been continued
throughout the night. proved more efii-
cacious than had been expected.

PLEA Of BULGARIA
VIEWED TWO Ways
Military Experts Think She Is
Whipped Some See Teu-
tonic Peace Phase.
FAvoRs DICTATED TERMS


The Bulgarian plea for an armistice
on the Macedonian front. pending
peace conferences, is viewed here with
mixed sensations, though nowhere is
doubt felt that the invasion Of Bull
garia by the victorious allied armies
marks the beginning Of the end OF
that country's career as an active ally
of Germany.
Believe Offer Is Direct.
In military quarters the belief is
expressed that Bulgaria is whipped
and ready to quit, and that the peace
proposal came from the army and
Premier Malinoff without the knowl-
edge or consent of the German-con-
trolled court, as stated in the press
dispatches through Berlin which
brought the first news Of the develop
ment.
The very fact that the German mill
tary authorities permitted the dis
patches to go through is held to prove
this and 1t Is suggested that the sit
Teqtonic standpoint that, 1t was real-
ned 3n 14rifnan axknaatt "a saHprsss

n1ent officials ( Are strongly inclined
to suspect smother phase OF. the gen.
eral Teutonic peace offensive, and this
idea was: not: dissipated -even by the
official announcement from Paris that
the French commander-in-chief in
Macedonia had reported the Bulgarian
request and his reply that he would
receive duly qualified delegates Of the
Bulgarian government without cessa-
ton Of hostilities. 80
Any sort of peace conference with
the Bulgarians, short of the dictation
and acceptance of terms from the al
lied military commander, would be
quite as, Objectionable to the allies as
the unbinding conference recently
proposed by Austria.
The State Department is without
information on the reported peace Of
fer, and as the United States is not at
war with Bulgaria the matter will
probably not come before this coun-
try unless it should be referred here
by one Of the allied countries.

AMERICANS WORK TELLS
AMERICANS WORK TELLS

Gen. Pershing's official communities
tion to the War Department on the
extent of the initial drive Of the Amer
ican forces gave the military authori-
ties here a definite idea Of the plan Of
the combined Franco-Amerfcan OF
fensive, which is now proceeding upon
la large scale.
Marshal Foch, it is thought by the
military authorities here, is striking
la blow which is attended by wide
strategic possibilities. They are led
to this conclusion by consideration or
the point of attack chosen by the
French leader.
Sees Great Possibilities.
AS far back as 1915 the French
|strategists saw that the Champagne
front offered the greatest possibilities
in repelling the invaders with the
least expenditure Of men. There was
aefes sea, bnt nshd,ss ths ErsssR rene sss s fs-
serve power to press forward in ac-
cordance with their strategic designs
and were forced to eetflez back 20
tactical, operations aHd defensive
measures.
Since then the line between Rheims
and verdun has been relatively un-
changed, the last offensive effort OF
the enemy against Rheims in, July
having failed to break it. On that
occasion American troops aided in re-
pelling the eastern jaw of the enemy
pincer attack on the cathedral city.
the 42nd (Rainbow). Division having
been brigaded with French troops on
this front, where 1t won high. com
mendation from the French leaders.
AS the French plan of 1O15 has
been discussed. it contemplated the
driving Of a great wedge through to
the line Of the -Meuse, where 1t skirts
the forest of: Ardennes, near the Bel
gian border.
Offers Unusual Opportunity.
Resting on a wide base and sup
ported by the fortress of Verdun on
the east, such a wedge would In eff
feet divide the German army and in
addition menace the whole communi-
northern France and Belgium. 1t
would have threatened the Belgion
gateway into France and it seems
certain that a hasty retirement by the
enemy to the MeuSe line must nave
resulted.
The battle lines today are relatively
as. they were in 1915 and the same
strategic factors hold good. For this
reason alone. many officers have be-
lieved that Marshal Focb sooner or
later would strike at the enemy from
the Champagne front and when word
Of the new attackNwas received their
first impression was that the hour for
the great allied effort had come.
Later advices, however, indicated
that the new battle zone was east of
the more level region around Rheims,
where it had been anticipated the road
to the Belgian border would more
probably be sought. Apparently Mar
shall Foch has struck first in the re-
gion Immediately west of Verdun, and
until the scope and direction Of his
attack develops officials withhold
judgment as to the grand objectives
at which the new drive may be aimed.
Some Significant Poin+s.
Several factors of utmost signifi-
canoe and of peculiar interest to the
people of the United States are
