Americans Volunteer
to Assist Australian
Battalion in Attack

British Headquarters in France,
Oct. 6.-fReuters. 1.-The camara-
derie existing between the Austral-
ians and Americans was illustrated
when the Anzacs had passed
through the American infantry, ac-
cording to program. There natur-
ally was some confusion in the sub
sequent fighting.
After the Australians had car
ried their objective, a good many
Americans, who probably had not
unwiilingly been borne forward in
the advance, were sorting them
selves out preparatory to rejoining
their units. Thereupon an Austral-
ian started a recruiting depot in the
front line. Standing upon heap of
sandbags he shouted:
"Fhis is the - battalion OF
the Australian imperial forces, the
finest fighting battalion on the west
ern front. Who'll join? Walk up.
Walk up"
This so tickled the American
stragglers that most of them tenn
porarily attached themselves to the
Anzacs, and when the battalion re-
attacked it was considerably strong
er than before.

Nothing New in Flu"

Physicians are requested TO ad-

morning the number of Spanish
"flu" cases they have been called
upon to attend during the last
"a hours, or since their last re-
port to the health commissioner

This cooperation by the ply
sicians will assist the health COM
missioner in keeping in close
touch with the situation and will
be one of the determining factors
in lifting the closing order.
Chief Clerk Harrington Of the
health office yesterday reported
that there was nothing particu-
larly new in the situation. DR..
H. Hirschmann reported four
new cases since Saturday after
noon and DR.. J. S. Loney report
ed six new cases during the same
period.
DR.. A. H. Koenig reported a
death in the South Side as caused
by grippe and pneumonia" but
it was not believed that this was
a case of "flu"
Health Commissioner Manning

day on the general situation and
he urges that Omahans will do
| their best to conserve the health
OF the city and thus hasten the
desired restoration to normal
conditions.

PEACE NOTES.

Chicago Tribune: There is but
one answer to such offers of parley
as have been made or are predicted.
That answer. is our redoubled eff
forts against the enemy. We can
rely upon that answer from our
fighting men, and we at home must
back them up with a singleness of
purpose matching theirs. Let the
answer of the American people be
the answer of the victorious army.
Chicago Herlad and Examiner:
Those who are fighting in France
have an eye on Berlin and on no.
where else. They are not anxious
for a kaiser made peace or for any
peace that will not forever settle
the question for which they are
fighting-namely, the liberty Of free
peoples. If we fail, we will hear
from the graves in France: Have
you permitted us to die in vain"
New York World: Press reports
give sufficient evidence that the
military rulers of the central EN-
pires have at last realized to some
extent the Judgment that is hang
ing over them. Autocracy is
whipped, and knows it is whipped.
Autocracy will be heard from
again and again with increasing hui
mility before it finally sues for
terms.
New York Herald: The hit dog
yelps. From Berlin and Vienna
comes simultaneous peace walls
with the exhausted Turk echoing
a feeble me. too 1t is the same
old trap. There will be no armis-
tice. We have just begun to fight.
New York Times: If Germany
wants peace let her do away with
her irresponsible braggart kaiser
and speak by a government of her
own people to the governments OF
the allied peoples.
New York Tribune: We have
laid down one condition of war
one on1y-and that is to use force,
force to the utmost, force without
stint or limit, until we shall have
destroyed forever in this world the
indecent, intolerable, criminal thing
that now holds out its dripping
hands.
Washington Post: War to the
limit, war until the now humbled
German emperor hands over his dis
honored sword, war until Germany,
instead of accepting President Will
sons proposal" tenders its uncon-
ditonal surrender, that is the plain
duty of the allied nations.

While Germany and Austria Hun
gary are clamoring for peace, the
entente allied governments thus far
are paying scant heed to the pro-
posals, but their armies are pressing
forward to further victories on all
fronts.
Officially no cognizance has yet
been taken of the request of Prince
Maximilan of Baden, the new Ger
man chancellor, or that of the Aus
tro-Hungarian government for an
armistice on land, on sea and in the
air, and the commencement of peace
negotiations, for President Wilson
to whom the dual, and highly SINH
lar proposals are addressed, is not
yet in receipt of them.
Unofficial opinion, however, in
dicates that the request will fall up
on deaf ears and that no peace is
