enthusiastic reception from the dele

LONDON, Sept. 2O.-The spirit OF Amer

senting voice 1t adopted President Will
sons fourteen conditions for peace as
summary Of Iabor's war aims. II also
called upon the Governments of the al
lied nations to adopt these principles In
a Joint declaration OF policy.
The attitude OF the conference In re-
gard to Russia, upon which the dele
gates had failed to agree yesterday. was
settled by taking Article OF President
Wilson's statement as the basis for
resolution which was adopted, the only
delegate opposing II being the represen-
tative Of the Serbian Socialists.
A regrettable feature OF the vote was
the refusal to participate of a number of
French and some Belgian delegates!
hey objected not to the reSolution Itself
but to the fairness of the method OF
counting the vote by a show Of hands,
There were threats on the part OF the
French delegates to leave the conference.
but the storm of protest was stilled by
J. b. Frey Of the American delegation.
who offered a resolution which resulted
in decision that the conference should
use the continental method of voting In
the future.
One pacifist member OF the British
Labor party questioned the declaration
that the war was being waged for
democracy and another charged that
Great Britain had not entered the war
to assist Belgium but in accordance with
a secret compact with France. Samuel
Gompers. president OF the American
Federation OF Labor. took the floor and
demonstrated the falslty Of both Rsser-
lions.
J. b. Frey. who followed him. pro-
tested against attempts that had been
made to misuse the conference for the
purpose OF spreading pacfist arguments
He maintained that both speakers had
mistaken symptoms for causes and
| warned the conference that the state
! ments as expressed were dangerous TO
the future OF humanity and might in
jure the interests OF the democracy
which the fighters were now trying TO
bring about
Later several delegates OF the British
party expressed their regret that the
speeches OF these pacifists had been
taken seriously by American and CONT
mental representatives who were not
aware Of what an infintesimal minority
the speakers represented among British
labor.

The stream is a slender one because
the people who originally fled before the
German advance have been gone for
more than four years. and many OF
them had formed new ties and associa-
tons, but every day sees several
truckioads of peasants or dwelers in
the towns and villages of the southern
section OF the salient returning to search
for their former homes.
There are of course many towns in
the old salient, especially in the south
erly portion, which may never receive
their original Inhabitants again 10 any
extent. while there are many others that
cannot yet be reinhabited for military
reasons. Well nigh countless villages
are to-day levelled ruins, for they have
stood on the path OF the bombardment
from both sides and hardly a wall OF

Still other places, however. notably st.

largo Red Cross against field

the Germans were deliberately firing
on the hospital, as there are no woods
near where troops might be concealed.
The majority Of the America ms
killed were privates who had been
gassed recently west OF Wanderers. Sew
eral members of the medical corps were
among the injured.
The shell struck the hospital about
midnight and there was great con.
fusion owing to the darkness. Other
shells continued to fall in the vicinity
OF the hospital.

GERMAN VERSION OF
ST. QUENTIN DEFEAT
Heavy Losses on Wide Front
Wednesday Are Admitted.

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 20.--A semi-official
report on the recent fighting issued in
Berlin by an army expert says:
After the Anglo-French forces had
endeavored vainiy since September S to
create a suitable base from which to
attain their aim of breaking through the
Siegfried positions, Marshal Foch's
troops resofted on the 18th TO a big
mass attack. from Havrincourt to the
Somme.
The attack began at so A. NJ. with
the heaviest fire reaching deep into the
rear of the terrain. Numerous tanks
ratified forward before the Anglo French
infantry. while a strong squadron Of
battle airmen descended very low in or
der to shake the German defense by
machine gun fire and bomb dropping.
"On the TANKS at Gouzeaucourt and
Trescault our troops held out. The
British thrice stormed against Gouzeau-
court while Trescault held against four
partial attacks.
I'm the centre the British succe eded in
pressing the German lines. After bitter
fighting which swayed to and fro Epehy
and Ronssoy remained in the hands OF
the British ,...
The report adds that AMER further
artillery preparation there was another
British onslaught at $50 p. NJ. But all
attempts to advance from Ronssoy were
foiled by machine gun fire from the
ruins of Lempre and the onslaught south
OF that point was defeated by a German
counter attack A fresh attack on WI
iers Guislain at Q O'Clock was repulsed,
IL is asserted.
All French efforts TO gain ground in
the st. Quentin sector and broaden the
attacking area south of the Somme like
wise were unsuccessful, the report says.

front of the Siegfried line In spite of the
greatest exertion OF the enemy" II is as
