Tanks Cross Deep Canal
 Turtle Back

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, Sept. 28-British forces adopted a novel method in fording the Canal du Nord in their drive northwest of Cambrai. The water way is a formidable obstacle, 125 feet wide and AS feet deep, and could only be crossed at three points.
 The artillery by dawn had de- stroyed the masonry bank of the canal. Then several superanuated tanks, on top of which was the necessary material for the con struction of bridges, were launched into the chasm. Fighting tanks then crossed the canal over the backs of the tanks in the big ditch.
 At Marquion and Havrincourt the canal was crossed in the most gallant manner as the bridge heads were under fire. The whole operation made necessary days of preliminary work in order to make it success.
 Picked men entrusted with the delicate and dangerous task in- cluded Canadians, naval brigade, the Scots and guards. Enemy forces confronting them consisted of nine divisions.

 WITH SURE DEFEAT
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S. - With certain defeat or withdrawal admitted 10 be the only present alternatives, the house resolution proposing sub mission to the states of the Susan B Anthony equal suffrage amendment furnished another sharp but brief fight in the senate today and then went over until Monday. In the mean time conferences will be held between it's supporters to decide whether on Monday it shall be brought to vote with defeat apparently assured or again be laid aside indefinitely.
 Absent Senators Embarrass
 Facing a filibuster begun today by opponents of the resolution, loss of the vote of Senator Benet of South Carolina who had been counted among the supporters, but who today an nounced he would vote in the nega- tive, and also absence of many sen- ators supporting the resolution, the women suffrage forces were on the defensive. That the opposition is strong enough to defeat the resolution was conceded both by Senators Pitt man of Nevada, democrat, and Shoot of Utah, republican. who have worked actively in it's behalf. Chairman Jones of the Woman's suffrage committee did not formerly concede defeat, but said he would consider between now and Monday what course should be taken. The resolution may be brought to vote for the purpose of providing a record for the November elections or withdraw for several weeks. Nir- tually all of its supporters tonight privately admitted that not enough votes can be mustered now for its adoption.
 Set Over Until Monday
 Opponents today began but were not forced to continue filibuster in their effort to postpone action until Monday, because of the absence ot several senators. Most of today's debate was occupied by senators fay bring the resolution with Senators Pittman and Shoot renewing theil controversy regarding pledges of dem- ocratic and republican support an6 l the question of partisan politics.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Sept 2S.-Vaccina- ton with a recently discovered serum, which from tests just completed at several army camps has been found to be an almost positive preventative of contra ction of pneumonia. will be used to combat the epidemic of Spanish influenza, which, in the week ending today, had made it's appearance in every state and in all but a few army camps, causing many deaths.
 Use of the vaccine will be widely extended, congress today having ap- propriated a million dollars to be used by the public health service in fighting Spanish influenza and other communi- cable diseases.

AMERICAN VICTORIES HAILED

LONDON, Sept. 2S-The victory of the American army in France has evoked tributes, not only from the British and French correspondents with the American army, but from all the English papers. That Mar shal Foch delegated it to the most inn portant post in his latest advance is significant of his estimate of the quality of the Americans. The mill tary correspondent of the Westmin- ister Gazette says:
 "The public need not be at all con cerned if the French advance, for the moment, should not prove to be deep What matters is the American squeeze. If that gets home, and all present appearances are favorable German positions in the Champagne sector will go to and the defense of the Hindenburg quadlateral will fall through in turn.'

Bulgarian 6 acerity Believed In Paris.

Bulgarian 6 acerity Believed In Paris.
 PARIS. Sept 2S.-Bulgarian sin cerity in proposing an armistice is taken for granted by most editorial writers here, notwithstanding slight reservations made by some of them. They are one. howevcr. in agreeing that Bulgaria, in a desperate plight, will have to make peace or have peace thrust upon her.
 'lt will mean the reconstitution Of Serbia says the Journal, and. there fore, will compel the central powers to form another Danube front and return the territory taken from the Ru- manians, which country is beginning to think of revenge on Germany. Fur key, cut off from the central powers, will be obliged to throw down her arms.'
 Tt is not in accordance with our principles to enslave any race says the Matin. Tt will suffice. then, for Bulgaria, after returning what she has stolen. to give us guarantees by de- mobilizing her army and placing the control of her railroads in allied hands.
 Details of Peace Offer Disclosed.
 Bulgaria's offer of peace to the allies was the result of a meeting held on Monday and attended by all the politi- cal leaders of Bulgaria, including Naseil Radoslavoff. the liberal leader, and members of the cabinet. It was not, as German newspapers pretend, the impulsive act of Premier Malinoff. according to Zurich dispatches to morning newspapers here.
 If martial law has been proclaimed in Sofia it was because of repeated anti-German manifestations with a strong pacifist tinge
 The situation in Bulgaria is grave. This years crops are poor and the food situation has entered a more critical phase. Recent military events have convinced those who still believe in the star of Ludendorff that the game is up
 Beware of the Bulgarian" says Nikolai P. Pachitch, Serbian premier and representative of that government at the inter -allied conference here. In statement printed in the Petit Jour nal today M. Pachitch says:
 T firmly believe Bulgaria's action barely conceals a ruse or scheme. The Bulgars want to gain time. Why this offer when their armies are not defi- nitely beaten and are still able to re- sist, and their country hardly invaded ? It is simple. They wish to bring up achievements and then get back to their defense lines"
