Farther southwark on the northern
side Of the Marne, American and
French troops met several strong Ger
man attacks to which they responded
with vigorous counter-attacks, as re-
suit of which the allied line again was
advanced.
The Americans made their gains in
heavy fighting in the vicinity of the
Barbillon wood. On the eastern side
of the salient, the French and British
advanced an average of one kilometre.
The British increased the number of
prisoners taken in three days to L.
100 by capturing 800.
approximately 100000 dead, wound
ed and prisoners have been lost by
the Germans since July Is. The en-

gard to the artillery.
The change for the better in the
weather conditions took place during
the night when the clouds disappeared

The suggestions are
First, Germany wants no annexa-

Second, the peace treaties with
Russia and Rumania may not be ques-
toned.
Third, the principle Of self-deter-
mination of peoples has not been dis
cussed but may be settled at the
peace conference where the fate of
Belgium also is to be settled.
Fourth. the Balkan question is to
be settled around the conference table.
Fifth. the freedom of the seas, the
dismantling of Gibraltar and the Suez
Canal and the right for Germany to
use coaling stations.
Sixth, the colonial question is to be
settled on the basis of the status quo.
The Vorwaerts considers this very
reasonable peace program.

lines on each side of the salient
from scissors to Rheims, the
allies appear to be pressing for
ward in vital sectors on the
front between scissors and near
Rheims.
Following its policy of conser-
vatism, the French war office
reports nothing but heavy artil-
lery fighting around the salient
and the repulse of a German
counter attack in the region of
Vrigny, five miles southwest of
Rheims. Nothing is said as to
progress against the increased
German resistance north of the
Marne nor is there mention of
the situation north of Montdid-
ier, where on Tuesday morning
the French took positions DOM
mating long reaches of the Avre
river.
Rain Slows Fighting.
From unofficial sources it is re-
ported that the rainy weather of the
last few days has slowed up the fight
ing between Scissors and Rheims and
probably also has retarded the German
retirement from the bag in which the
crown princes forces were caught
Allied airmen report conditions back
of the German lines as indicative OF
a German retreat as far north as the
Vesle river. The line of the Ourcq
has been virtually rendered unten.
able by the allied advance north Of
the stream. Just south of Scissors,
the French and Americans are known
to have reached the western bank Of
the Crise river but there have been
no reports of a further advance in this
vital region.
Should the allies succeed in crossing
the Crise in force and in gaining the
plateau to the eastward of that stream
German occupation of Scissors would
probably be short lived. Such an ad.
vance would also make the line of the
Vesle a slight advantage to the Ger
mans and would probably compel their
eventual retirement to the Aisne river
For this reason the allied effort to
forge eastward CT Buzancy may be ex-
peCleU " De TcuOuUtcu anu tUc 1eT-
man resistance at this point probably

German Retreat Hampered.
Allied pressure on the Rheims-Sois-
sons salient maintains its progress
against the Germans, who also are be-
ing hampered in their preparations for
an eventual retirement by hurricanes
of shell from all guns and hundreds OF
bombs dropped by allied airmen.
Stubborn as is the resistance OF the
Germans at vital points, especially
from the Ourcq along the Marne to
the Ardre, the French, American and
British continue to advance. Heavy
artillery fire and hundreds OF machine
guns form the backbone of the Ger
man defense. This has tended to
slow up the allies, but has not stopped
their progress. .---.ss
