TANKS HIT BACK
Countr- Attack Huns in Champagne
 With Successful Artillery Fire.

With the American Army North west of Verdun, Oct. By The As sociated Press-The Germans de- livered a loca lattack in Champagne at daylight east of St. Etienne.
 The received a counter thrust at the hands of the hAmericans which those who lived to tell the tale will long remember.
 The Americans had advance inform ation of pending German attack and they more than met the Ger mans half way.
 When the German artillery opened the Americans were ready and sent into the enemy line five or more shells for every German projectile hurled at them.
 Among the prisoners taken were IT bewildered pioneers from the Rheims sector who were serving as infantry men for the first time.
 As the German artillery opened along tAe line from St. Etienne to Orfeuil several companies of German infantry started to Altering through the shaggy patches of pine wood.
 Most of them were seasoned troops. The French and American artillery however, was so effective that these veterans were thrown into confusion.
 Many of them were killed. The 17 pioneers were cut off from the other Germans by American machine gun fire and made prisoner.
 Six of them were wounded.
 General Pershing's troops this morning attacked the German posi- tions on the left wing of this front. The Americans made progress to a point corresponding with their ad,, vance late yesterday in the region ot Cnnel woods. on the right wing.

(Late Associated Press Summary.)
 The troops of the French General BerthelOt have delivered success ful blow against the Germans north west of Rheims which adds materi- ally to the menace that is hanging over the German front from the North Sea to the Swiss border
 Important Position.
 This was the capture of Berry-Au- BaC, on the north side of the Aisne about 10 12 miles northwest or Rheims and only scant five miles from the eastern end of the famous Chemin Des Danes ridge at Craonne.
 A further advance northwest acros the railroad not only will put the great stronghold of I4aon in a pock- ct. but also will outflank Neufcha- tel, another enemy stronghold on the west.
 The Turks also have suffered a serious blow in the loss to thT French of Beirut, capital of the Vil- ayet of Syria.
 The occupation of this seaport on the Mediterrean by French naval division gives the allies base for the landing of men who can operate in all directions against the Turks over the roads radiating from it.

 By Stress of Events. FURNISHES ALIBI FOR THE MOVE Says Peace Proposals of President Wilson "Prac-
 tically" Their Own Principles.

Amsterdam, Oct. 7.-An elucidation of the peace offer of the central pow CTS is published in the Vienna newspapers. The article which is explained as emanating from "Well informed circles" reads as follows
 "lt is first to be emphasized that this step by Austria Hungary, Tur- key and Germany is not to be re- gal ded as decision taken suddenly under stress of military events"
 Subsequently the idea of estab- fishing an international court of ar bitration and a reduction of arma- ment was discussed and the princi- pie of the freedom of the seas was proclaimed and, finally the princi- pie set forth that economic war and economic oppression after war must be prevented"
 Caused the Proposal. "Out of these guiding principles arose the present peace program. All these points, it will be recall ed, were accepted by Count Zernin (former Austrian foreign minister) in speeches and interviews. as a suitable basis for peace negotiations and finally received the approval also of the German reichstag so that ! uniformity in the conception of the allies l(Teutonic thereby found ex- pressiOn.

 "The Austro-Hungarian delegations and the German Reichstag have de-

 should be noted also that it was al ways President Wilson who occupi

VICTORIOUS PEACE WANTED BY SOLDIERS This Is Opinion of Allied Soldiers Who Are Doing
 the Fighting. WANT GERMANY TO
 ADMIT HER DEFEAT "Victory First Then Peace" Grant No Armistice, Say
 the Troopers.
WANT GERMANY TO
 ADMIT HER DEFEAT

With the British Army in France Oct. [. (6:3O D. m.)-By The Associ- l ated Press.-The soldiers of the alli- ! ed armies want peace, but no peace except completely victorious one.
 This was the opinion expressed by officers and men alike to The As i sociated Press correspondent today. | If Germany is now willing to ad- and her utter defeat, then say these 1 mer who have been fighting the good fight for the liberty of the world, so
 much the better. but they declare the
 granting of an armistice lat this time, unless the enemy is absolute 1 ly sincere, might prove extremely dangerous.
 Victory first. then peace.' That is the manner in which French civilians, who have returned to their shell wrecked homes in
 nc rthern France, expressed themselv-
 es when the subject of an armistice is discussed.
 The same idea runs through the
 minds of all the allied armies, where
 mer have seen their comrades die l and where the feeling is that they have died in vain unless victory is absolute.
 The suspension of hostilities for a few days would enable the Germans to continue their preparation of lines to which they might retire for 1 the winter. At the moment the Hindenburg 1 system has been smashed and the i German military leaders have every reason to believe that they may soon be fighting back over country in
 which at present they have no lines, no dugouts, no protection from the 1 advancing allied troops. ! The allied armies are in a strong l and advantageous position and the | general feeling here is that the de- feat of Germany may come sooner /, than expected.
 It is no secret that the British will ! continue their powerful thrusts along
 where the enemy's strong line of de- fense has been broken. The Germans
 knew this, but what they do not know is when and how and with
 what forces the attack s will be
 launched.
 And indications are plentiful that the British are ina position to launch
 it when they see fit. An armistice would save the situa' tion for Germany.
 On the British front it is believed
 that the German armies so far have
 not the slightest knowledge of events
 and it is with considerable interest
 that the British armies are watching for the effect among the Germans
 when they find out what has beer 1 done.
 The damage they have done to tn
 coal mines in northern France in thu
 Lens district, is of most serious ma l ture.

The Former Terms.
 It may not use the short and force term Unconditional surrender" :" hich would reflect the sentiment hich has come from the spokesmen 1 the nation, but it is sure to convey the German government that kthing less than the terms already i'd down can be accepted and that lose terms cannot be merely ''the Isis for negotiation
 Mere Case Suicide.
 As to the armistice, such a step buld be looked upon as suicide and to be thought of.
 By this time Prince Maximilian's S te and that of Baron Burian, the astro- Hungarian foreign minister, in ficial form undoubtedly are in the reign offices in London, Paris and pme, forwarded by President Wilson requested by the central powers. The exchanges now going on have a o-fold purpose.
 The American government would q proceed to speeak for the other lgerents on a matter of such im- rtance without consultation and it purposed to avoid the mistake of Pking a curt and peremptory re- ctlon which could be used by the ntral powers, before their own, oeple, to bolster up the argument ey are waging a defensive" war the objects of theh cobelligerents E to destroy" them.

Quiet Elsewhere.

Nothing of importance occurred on the other points of the American frcnt throughout today.
 The troops in the center of the attack met the first obstacle ten minutes after starting in the shape of German trenches The American deluged these with | hand srenades, carrying the entrech- ments.
 They reached their first objectives in record time and entered Chatel Chehery at $40 o'clock with only slight resistance
 Desperate Fighting.
 An attack on hill PA where the Germans occupied strong positions, was begun at once, and there was desperate fighting as the Americans stormed the heights.
 In the meantime other infantry de- tachments filtered through in single file into Abbe wood, and helped to carry Hill PA, which was taken be- fore noon.
 The troops reached the north side of the hill by one o'clock in the afternoon, while others advancing ov- CT the Chenetondu ridge, reached and passed La Viergette.
 The enemy retired before this ad- vance and the victory was complete at o'clock
 Strongly Defended.
 The lines at Chetel Chehery were strongly consolidated and patrols be- gan recOnnoitering ahead, meeting with little opposition. The German artillery fire on the right has grown quieter than on any previous day.
 The extreme right, which had been bomharded from east of the Mouse reported notable cessation of this fire and some change in it's direc- tion to further north M
 Great movement of artillery to the north and northeast have been noted above Cunel
 The machine gun fire likewise mo- tably decreased on the center, east of the American line.
 This was especially true of Cunel woods, which had been a veritable hive of machine guns, but these were quiet today.
