ASK ALLIED LABOR
TOO. K. us. TERMS
American Delegates Would
Have Them Approve Presi-
dents Ia Peace Points.

LONDON, September 1s.-The Amer
fcan delegates to the interallied labor
and socialist conference today pre-
sented proposals that the conference
andorse the fourteen points laid down
by President Wilson as the conditions
on which peace may be established and
maintained.
The American proposals declare 'ft
to be our unqualified determination to
do all that lies in our power to assist
our allied countries in marShaling all
their resources, to the end that the
armed forces of the. central powers
may be driven from the soil of the
nations which they have invaded and
now occupy. and that these armed
forces shall be opposed so long as they
carry out orders and respond to the
control of the militaristic and auto
cratic governments of the central
powers. which now threaten the exist
ence of all self-governing peoples
The fundamental principles which
must underle the peace treaty are
declared by the American delegates to
be as follows:
"A league of the free peoples of the
uine and practical cooperation to Sc
cure justice and therefore peace in
the relations between the nations. No
political or economic restrictions
meant to benefit some nations and
cripple or embarrass others
NO indemnities or reprisals based
upon vindictive purposes or deliber-
ate desire to injure. but to right mani
fest wrongs.
The recognition Of. the rights Of
small nations and the principle that
no people must be forced under g.
sovereignty under which it does not
wish to live
NO territorial changes or adjust
ment of power except in the further
ance of the welfare of the people af-
fccted and in the furtherance of world
peace"

Mosquito Uncrowned Monarch.

The anopheles mosquito is now the
uncrowned monarch OF this whole
country. It is a. far moro deadly en-
eny than bullets or shells, and armies
cannot live in the jungle. SO that this
vast area is now only a district for
patrols. The British have their posi-
tions on one range Of hills. the Bull
garians on the other. and their pa
trolls often meet in that vast, florid
no mans land.
But since the Bulgarians are always
nervous about Seres and the railway
they have to occupy a northern strip
of the valley, and that is where the
British continually annoy and harass
them, In this area the British are
always on the offensive. raiding and
feinting and doing their utmost to
keep the Bulgarians in a continuous
state of nervousness.

BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE September 49,
Field Marshal Haig's forces
this morning attacked the
German positions on a con-
siderable front northwest of
St. Quentin. simultaneously
French troops carried out an
operation on the right. Sue
cessful progress was made on
both fronts.
The attack was begun at
$40 o'clock after a brief bonn
bardment.
Coupled with the news of
the success of the allied forces
in the early stages of the op-
erations came reports that
heavy fighting had developed
at many points, particularly
about Fresnoy, Ronssoy and
Epehy, Ia the British zone,
and about Savy wood, where
the French were attacking.
By the Associated Press.
Field Marshal Haig, two
months from the day of the al
lied offensive on the Marne, has
begun a closer investment of St.
Quentin. His troops are attack
ing northwest of the city, with
the evident intention of out
flanking it on the north.
The new. operations against
this bastion of the Hindenburg
line follow the British capture
of Holnon village on high
ground three miles northwest OF
St. Quentin Tuesday night. Hell
non is on a hill, as is Maissemy,
captured late Saturday. These
hill positions dominate the ter
rain north of St. Quentin and
the road connecting the city
with Cambria.
Move in Toward City.
From these favorable Jumping or
points the British are moving In to-
ward the city. Full details OF ths
operation still are lacking, but un.
doubtedly the British will meet with
stiff opposition. The Germans are or
or near the Hindenburg positions. and
captured documents show the enemy
troops have been ordered to maintain
their positions.
To the north the Germans are using
their big guns actively against the
British lines. Tuesday evening the
Germans attacked Moeuvres, west Of
Cambrat and pressed the British
back to the western outskirts. Ap'
parently the enemy is determined te
hold his ground on the line between
the Scarpe and the Oise.

By FRANK H. SIMONDs.

Very naturally, as a result Of Gen.
Pershing's victory in the st. Mihiel
salient, the eyes Of all his country
men are fixed upon Metz. Its forts
are now within range OF our heavy
artillery, as they have been within
range Of French heavy guns on the
hills above Pont-a-Mousson. on the
east bank of the Moselle, since the
autumn Of 1914. From some of tho
latter hills Metz itself is visible on
clear day. From our present front
north of Thiaucourt we are distant
little more than five: miles from the
E;battisAnad asqf qfss.Akars-m-Tour. where
Baxaine threw. away one OF the great
chances OF military history and lost
not merely Metz and his ARMY, but
also Alsace-LoYraine, to France.
And as a result Of st. Mihfel 1T is
not too much to say that the deter
mination has been aroused in all Amer
leans, soldiers and civilians alike, TO
make one part Of Americas work IN
it Alsace-Lorraine, to France. Ihe
work is not to be undertaken lightly.
We are bound now, as we look at
campaign just beginning, to recognize
how great are the obstacles In our
pathway, but the very greatness OF
these obstacles adds to the splendor
Of the achievement toward which we
have taken the first step.
Direct Attack Unthinkable.
A direct attack upon Metz is un-
thinkable, not merely because OF the
forts, which are far more modern and
infinitely stronger than those or YER
dun, but because of the lines OF de-
Tense which the Germans have newly
constructed upon the circle OF NILS
surrounding the old French city since
the war began. We must recognize
that Metz is the foundation OF the
German defense. not merely OF the old
frontier, but of all the country be-
tween the Rhine and the Belgian and
French frontiers. If Metz should fall,
a permanent stay Of the German ar
mics west of the Belgian frontier
would be impossible, defense OF Al
sace-Lorraina could not long be main.
tanned and the Germans would have at
no distant date to retire to the line
of the Rhine. the Lauter and the Saar,
at the very least.
More than this. Metz defends all
that great iron district from iongwy,
in France. on the Luxembourg IRON
tier, southwark to the point where
the present front crosses the Moseile
near .Norroy. To lose this iron dis
trict would be to lose the main source
of indispensable war material; 1t
