YANKEES SHOW
THEIR METTLE
DURING ATTACK
American Squeeze Attack
Will Break Enemy Opposi-
ton in Champagne.
(By Associated Press)

WITH THE AMERICAN NORTH
WEST OF vERDUN. Friday, Sept. 27.
"Details Of yesterdays fighting along
the line held by one American corps
shows that the infantry overrun the
first German position. The enemy
first attempted to make a stand on
the line running through Ouisy, but
the Americans pushed ahead and by
8:15 o'clock, Ouisy was taken and de-
tachments pressed forward as far as
the Foyel farm during the forenoon
Only few hours after the battle be-
gan, the correspondent started for the
front. Although American and Ger
man shells had torn up the roads but
short time before, engineer detach-
ments were already filling them in and
making them serviceable. In the per-
fectly blue sky there were, as long as
daylight lasted, dozens, and sometimes
scores, Of airplanes which darted back
and forth over the lines, and engaged
in daring combats above the moving
columns.
In spite of statements made by pris-
oners, that the attack was foreseen it
is evident that the enemy had not an
ticipated the time, places or character
of the assault and had not been able
to make adequate preparations to
meet it or to retire. He lacked re-
serves to defend the positions behind
the front line. The American advance
already has cut across the narrow
gage lines which form the only rail
connection between the two main rail-
roads coming down from the north.
Weather Aided Men.
Fine weather was of great assist
ance to the Americans in sweeping for
ward over very sdidcult ground. The
ground which has been taken is very
important and increases the magni-
tude of the victory. From the begin
ming of the preliminary bombardment
until nigh.fall. the weather was almost
ideal and gave ample opportunity for
the American airmen to play their
part in the fight. Soon after mid
night last night, however, the sky
clouded over and rain was falling so
steadily this morning that staff Of
ficer remarked this is helping the
Germans"
Last evening the German artillery
fire became heavy, apparently indi-
eating that he had retired to his Sec
ond line of resistance. This line he is
expected to try to hold more tena-
ciously than he did the first. Shells
of big calibre fell with regularity be-
hind the advanced American lines, as
the enemy attempted to silence the
American batteries and damage the
roads. These shells, however, fell al
most without exception in woods and
fields and did not impede the Ameri-

GERMANS TO LOSE.
ASIATIC CONTROL
BY PEACE OFFER
Withdrawal Of Bulgars From
War Will Force Turkey to
Lay Down Arms.
(By Associated Press.)


PARIS. Sept. 28.-Bulgarias offer of
peace to the allies was the result of
meeting held on Monday and attend
ed by all the political leaders OF Bull
garia, including vaseil Radeslavoff,
the liberal leader and members of the
cabinet. 1t was not, as German news
papers pretend, the impulsive act of
Premier Malinoff. according to Zurich
dispatches to morning newspapers
here.
II martial law has been proclaimed
in Sofia, it was because of repeated
German manifestations with a
strong pacist tinge and popular demon
strations in front of the royal palace.
The situation in Bulgaria is grave.
This years crops are poor and the
food situation has entered a more crit.
ical phase. Recent military events
have convinced those who still be-
lieved in the star of Ludendorff, that
the game is up"
Forced to Make Peace.
Bulgaria's sincerity in making her
proposal for an armstice is taken more
or less for granted by most editorial
reservations made by some of them.
They are one, however, in agreeing
that Bulgaria, in desperate plight,
will have to make peace or have peace
thrust upon her. Most of the COM
ments on the situation are devoted to
the consequences of her withdrawal
from the war.
1T will mean the reconstruction of
Serbia" says the Journal, "and there
fore will compel the central powers
to form another Danube front and re-
turn the territory taken from the Ru-
manians. which country is beginning
to think Gf avenge on Germany. Tur-
key, cut off from the Central powers,
will be obliged to throw down her
arms. The collapse of the whole bril-
liant but fragile structure raised by
the Germans in the Orient is begin
ming. Twenty years of German ef-
fort there faces ruin
1T Is not in accordance with our
principles to enslave any race" says
the Matin. 'It will suffice. then for
Bulgaria after returning what she has
stolen, to give us guarantee by demo
bilizing her army and placing the con-
troll of her railroads in allied hands,
that she will not become a turncoat
again and that our Balkan friends
have nothing more to fear from her"
GREAT BRITAIN REPLIES.
LONDON. Sept. 2S.-Great Britain
has replied to the Bulgarian request
for an armstice. The reply it is stat
ed is fully covered by the answer
given the Bulgarian representative by
the commander of the allied army on
the Macedonian front. By this reply
it is perfectly defined that no military
operation can be suspended.
At the same time regarding the pro-
posal that duly credited representa-
tives should confer with the allies on
the question of peace. it has been
made quite clear to the Sofia govern
ment that such peace necessarily in
wolves a complete rupture by the Bull
garian government with Turkey, Ger
many and Austria-Hungary.
The allied governments necessarily
demand every guarantee which they
consider necessary to them to safe
guard their military operations and
prevent the dispatch of German troops
to Bulgaria.

British Colonial PTemIerS
Praise Work Of Y. M. c. A.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Two pre-
miers of the British Empires largest
and most progressive commonwealths
have issued statements to the effect
that the soldiers in the field against
Germany are dependent, not only for
the many so-called comforts of life but
for absolute necessities, upon the ac-
~tivities OF one of the seven agencies in
the United War Work Campaign.
Sir Robert Laird Borden, prime
minister of Canada, and w. H.
Hughes, prime minister of Australia,
in their public statements urge the
support of the Y. NJ. c. A, which with
the Y. w. c. A., National Catholic
War Council. X. of c., War Camp
Community Service. Jewish Welfare
Board, American Library Association
and Salvation Army are extending
their work. for American and Allied
fighters.
Whoever has come in contact with
the work Of the Y. NJ. c. A. In camps
r behind the lines. knows full well
hat 1t is a very valuable and almost
'nseparable part OF army life," said
Premier Hughes. without 1t, the
troops would undergo very many
hardships and suffer great incJnTeni-
ences, which their magnificent institu-
ton Is able to remove.
THE absolute dependence of 81
many millions of soldiers upon the as
ISOLATION for what they regard as the
comforts but which often are the ne
cessities of army life. is surely the
most powerful appeal that can be
made to the American or any other
people. / wish IL every success
