PRINCE OF BADEN NAMED IMPERIAL GERMAN PREMIER Same Maximilian Mention ed in 1917 As Possible
 Successor to Kaiser. THOUGHT HIM WORTH BOOK TRIBUTE Had Views on Peace Terms That Were Shocking to
 Pan-Germans.

Amsterdam, Oct. 3.---Prince Maxi milan of Baden has been named Ger man Imperial Chancellor, according to the zeitung Am Mittag of Berlin. ! council meeting took place at the Chancellor's palace in Berlin last eve ming, according to advices received here. Emperor William presided and the meeting was attended by Field Marshal von Hindenburg, who had come to Berlin with the emperor. Former Chancellor von Hertling, Vice Chancellor von Payer and several state secretaries were in attendance. Prince Maximilian is heir to the throne of the Grand Duchy of Baden. He was born July 10, 1867. For some years he has been recognized as the leader of the Delbrueck group of Ger man moderates and upon the fall of Imperial Chancellor Michaelis, Mo- vember 1, 1917, he was put forward as the moderates candidate for the Chancellorship. His name, however, did not go before the emperor as Prince Maximilian objected for dy- nastic reasons.
 At that time there were vague ru- mors concerning Prince Maximiilan that there was under way a move- ment having for It's objective the de- thronement of Emperor William and the choice of Maximiilan as his suc- cessor. These rumors were never con- firmed.
 In his book, -Four Years in Ger many" former Ambassador James W. Gerard paid a tribute to Prince Maxi imilian. He said that Prince Maxi milan had been considered as the man to be placed at the head of central department for prisoners of war, and stated that such an appoint ment would have redounded to the benefit of German and the prisoners
 Early in the year Maximilian gave a semi-off1cial interview in which he outlined his views on Germany's peace terms. His statement was a rude shock to the Pan-Germans in that he advocated the abandonment of all ideas of conquest. He advocated an Anglo-Saxon peace, in the sense that the German Empire must serve as a bulwark in protecting the western na- tions from the spread of Russian Bol- shevikism.
 Princess Maximilian was formerly Marie Louise, Duchess of Brunswick. Lunebourg. and bears the title of Princess Royal of Great. Britain and Ireland.

 With the American Army in the St. Quentin Sector. Wednesday, Oct. 2-(By The Associated Press)- American regiments fighting in the Hindenburg line have seen some of the hardest fighting of the war. One Brooklyn regiment took and retook position known as the "knoll' three times. The battle swung back and forth with the men so close to each other that rife butts were just as ef- fective as anything else
 On the first assault the Americans met masses of machine guns. which were camouf1aged and held their fire until the Americans were close upon them. One nest after another was silenced, and the Americans plunged on

The enemy expected a heavy attack today and to that fact is attributed his heavy artillery fire.
 At various points minor infantry | clashes occurred, both sides using | machine guns. At one point the Ger mans succeeded in getting airplanes across the line. Smoke bombs were l dropped indicating American position | to the enemy gunners. One of the enemy machines was brought down by anti-air craft guns, while pur- suit planes accounted for others. One ! American aviator who was attacked | by seven Fokkers fought his way out. bringing down one of the enemy ma l chimes.
 In the Argonne fighting continues. Machine gunners were left behind | by the Germans to defend the main body.
 Much booty has fallen into the hands of the Americans including an | electric power station at Variennes, l Americans also are vitalizing miles of telephone wire and some central ex- | change material abandoned intact by 1 the retiring enemy

 East of Verdun and about Douau- mont there was heavy shell fire main- tained by the enemy today. In a minor engagement In the Woevre sec | tor, Americans captured 30 prison | CTS.
 American units reached the Kriem- hild-Steelung line at one point today, having broken through the principal zone of resistance. Just south of Brieulles. they advanced to a spot where they established actual con- tact with this famous enemy sys. l tenn.
 The Kriemhild-s -steelung system was begun last year before the Amer jeans became an active factor in the war. It Is not as strong as the fla nous Hindenburg line, but neverthe- less, has heavily fortified positions. As it is the last enemy defense sys- tenn between the Americans and the Mouse where 1t flows north to Me- zieres, stubborn effort to hold it may be anticipated and the difficulty of carrying this system is not underrated by the Americans
 Geneva, Oct. 3-The inhabitants of 20 villages, including Ferrette, Gou- tavon and Winkel already have been sent to Bavaria. Some of the will lagers have escaped across the Swiss | frontier. Fear of disorder is ram I pant throughout Alsace-Lorraine not only among the civilians. but also among the military forces. Food is 1 scarce and little Is available.

Around St. Quentin, the fighting still continues.
 Near Rheims, the Germans are re- treating before General Berthelot,s army In Champaigne the enemy IS slowly giving ground as General Gourand moves northward.
 In the Belgian sector the enemy's situation apparently is most critical. Iheir retirement from La Bassee ap- parently necessitates abandonment. of f the district of Lens, to which the Germans have desperately clung.
 The Germans are reported to ba moving their heavy guns back from the western Flanders coast and ru- mors from Holland say the whole coast may be evacuated.
 British, Americans and French apparently have broken the Hinden- burg line between Le Catelet and St Quentin. They are across the Somme river, which was the strongest line of defense in this sector.
 North of Rheims the French have carried the hill positions preparatory to pushing forward across the low. lands east of the Aisne canal.
 In the Champaigne and the ArRonna the French and Americans are fight ing hard and progress seems to be very slow. The drive north of Rheims Is closely related to that near Yer dun.

There's letters from our Uncles,
Our Sisters Aun-s and Dad;
Letters from our boy Pals"
And from Mothers" heart that's sad.
We like to get ZEN, every one;
They are as priceless as Pearls,
But Gollyi Amt you tickled,
When you get one from that "Gfrl?"
You can be as tired as Moses, q
And you don't just give a dang
If you live or not in this old world;
The Army it can hang
Then the gang all start a-yellin'
You feel like a royal earl,
When your bunk mate" comes a-grinnfn
With letter from that Girl"
You'll drill right hard all morning
On stones and grass that's long;
You can suffer any hardships
And in your heart there'1l be song.
You care not for the blisters
And your head is in a whirl.
When your '.bukie'' shyly whispers
There's one waitin' from that Girl
She can't write every day,
IT'S more than We expect;
But we just can't help a-hopin'
There'n be letters bv the peck,
And a fellow sure gets lonesome,
And bad language he does hurl,
When he has to roll up for the night
And no letter-from that Girl.

There are some fifty or more men in
