Berlin. Oct 6, (via Basle) e)-Emper.
or William today issued proclama-
ton to the German Army and Navy In
which, after announcing that the Ma

The text OF the Emperor's proclaim,
alton reads:
For months past the enemy. With
enormous exertions and almost with.
out pause in the fighting, has stormed
against your lines. In weeks OF the
struggle, ofton without repose, you
have had TO persevere and resist a
numerically far superior enemy.
Therein lies the greatness of the task
which has been set for you and which
YOU are fulfilling. Troops of all the
German States are doing their part
and are heroically defending the
Fatherland on foreign soil Hard is
tho task
My navy Is holding its own against
the united enemy naval forces and Is
waveringly supporting the army IN
it's difficult struggle.
The eyes of those at home rest
with pride and admiration on the
deeds of the army and the navy.
express TO you the thanks OF myself
and the Fatherland.
The collapse of the Macedonian
front has occurred in the midst OF
the hardest struggle In accord with
our allies, have resolved once more
to offer peace to the enemy but I will
only extend my hand for an honor
able peace. We owe that to the
heroes who have laid down their
lives for the Fatherland, and we
make that our duty to our children.
Whether arms will be lowered still
Is n question. Until then we must
not slacken, We must, as hitherto
exert all our strength unwearily to
hold our ground against the orVlaughl
of our enemies
The hour is grave, but, trusting in
your strength and in Gods graoiou'
help, we feel ourselves to be strong
enough to defend our beloved Father
land,

FURIOUS BATTLE
HOLD THEIR OWN
One Of Bl0odiest C0mbats of
Whole War
AGAINST BEST TROOPS
Terrific Struggle to Turn German
Wine-Foe Is Using Machine
Gun Sharpshooters.
AGAINST BEST TROOPS

With the American Army in France.
Oct 6.-The lighting since early this
morning is characterized as perhaps
the biggest the Americans have yet
seen. II Is gruelling, soultrying fight
ing, with the heroics and sensational
ism taken out
Tho best troops Germay has have
been hurled without success against
our lines. These shock troops are
working independently of the heavy
concentration Of other troops that
are blocking our advance with the
heaviest concentration of machine
guns war has seen.
An official report says that on one
stretch OF the front the Germans
have a machine gun for every five
yards of the line. The German con-
centration OF artillery also is ponder.
Gus the guns being grouped in
masses in a zone two and half miles
deep The short front between the
Argonne and the Meuse is the one
most vital to the whole line. An ad-
vance by the Americans TO any great
depth would impeyil the whole east
wing Of the German salient stretch
ing from the sea to the Moselle River.
The nature OF the infantry fight.
in this sector is marked by ad.
vances by our troops until the line
becomes dented by being held up by
German machine guns In sheltered
places. As our advance troops move
ahead these spiteful weapons open
up, and ensues a bloody conteat for
the reduction of the nests. This oc-
ours and reocctrs from hour to hour.
, Heavy German movements were
reported late today in the region of
Sommerance and also toward Ro-
magne Wood. but il has not yet de-
yeloped whether the Germans intend
to counterattack on large scale to-
morrow. The stubborn and REPEATED
counterattacks by the Germans
causes speculation as to the reason
for large fires seen today at Grand
Pro and Dun, which we're not set by
our artillery. Brueulles. which is
held by the Germans. has been burn,
ing all day.
The nature OF the seesaw fighting
is well told by the fact that after
being driven from portions of Ogons
Wood and Cunel Wood the Americans
subjected those regions to four
hours heavy bombardment and went
in only to 'be forced out again by the
attacks Of superior numbers of, Ger
mans. Later we reocouped these
woods.
In the fighting in this sector the
Germans are using machine gun
sharpshooters. who are specially
trained and skilled in tho use of tho
light weapons. One company of
these fighters is attached to each Ger
man regiment Of shock troops IN this
sector. s4 t- .,.-..
