BE CALM" --HERTLING
Chancellor Tells ReiChstag Sftus
alton Is Grave.
Declares "We Have Already Had to-
Pass Through Harder
Tines

London. Sept. Count Won Hertz
ling, the German imperial chancellor,
addressing the main committee of the
reichstag, declared that the public dis
content in Germany was not justified
by the military situation on the west-
ern front, according to a dispatch
from Berlin.
The chancellor opened with tha
promise to meet the desire of the;
reichstag for information as far as
possible. He proceeded to n1lude tol
the "deep discomfort which has seized
wide circles of the population" and
said that the principal reason was the
pressure Of the terrible four years
Of war, with, all the 6eprivations and
sufferings brought in its wake, and
the sacrifices imposed ON all classes
all families and, more or less, on ev-
cry individual.
II have no intention Of trying to
diminish this pressure by words" he
continued, 'but, gentlemen, If this dis
content is influenced by our present
military situation, by the events on
the western front, I must, without de-
string to anticipate 4 statement which
we may expect from representative
Of the war ministry, declare most en-
phatieally that 1t far exceeds Justi-
fable limits"
Count Won Hertling admitted that
the last German offensive was unsuc-
cessful and that it had been necessary
to withdraw to the Siegfried line.
'The situation is grave" he added,
''but we have no cause to be faint
hearted. We have already had to pass
through harder times"
The chancellor fnstaneed the fail-
ure of the verdun offensive, the
Somme battles and BrusiIoh7s mass
assaults bringing in their train the
well-remembered unfavorable reaction
on the Austro-Italian front. Then
came Reumania'S entry into the war.
1--WE never lost courage" he said.s
shut showed our enemies what a reso-
lutte will to victory could do.
GLOW do things stand now? We
have peace with Russia and Roumania
and even though conditions in Russia
are not yet clear and the future APP
pears uncertain, nevertheless the for
mer menace from two sides has dis
appeared and a considerable part of
our men of the Eastern army can be-
employed in the West"

With the British Army in France,
Sept. 25.-Another Anglo-French as
sault was delivered against the Ger
man defenses before st. Quentin. Re
ports indicate the allied attack was
meeting with great success.
The British troops attacked over
front of four miles from the Omignon
river south. and have taken about 800
prisoners.
The British seized the high ground
west of Fayet and cleared the woods
east of Fresnoy of the enemy and
stormed their way through Pontruet.
On the right the French captured
Franci1ly- Selenoy, L,Epine De Dalton
and the village of Dallop, with more
than 500 prisoners and a large num-
Der of machine guns, bringing the
total prisoners yielded by operation to
1900.
Close to Vital Canal.
The capture of Pontruet places the
British only three-quarters of mile
from the bend In the st. Quentin
canal, which forms vital part of the
Hindenburg bulWark. 1t was around
Pontruet that the British captured
many hundreds of prisoners.
Fighting was proceeding in the aft
ernoon along the ridge between Pom
uuet and Gricourt.
In Flanders British troops succeed
ed In pushing forward and occupying
a portion OF the old British front line
southeast of Voormazeele, below Up
res.
The Germans, attempting to retake
two posts east OF Epehy, lost 200 pris-
oners and 81 machine guns, besides
leaving 100 dead within the British
lines.
Foe Defends Canal Gap.
The pressure which the British have
established is obvious. The great st.
Quentin canal forms strong natural
defense for the enemy for a great dis
lance IN this section, but just east of
Ronssoy it runs underground for about
three miles. This gap is the waterway
defense the Germans have been de-
Tending desperately.
In front of the canal along this gap
the Hindenburg line has been made
especially strong to protect the posi-
bic gateway.
The fresh divisions the enemy has
thrown in here have led to especially
hard fighting just east of Ronssoy, in
a quadrilateral system of trenches,
which the British captured. The Ger
mans attacked here continuously and
heavily, but on each occasion they
were repulsed with severe losses.
