Americans in Heavy Battle.

With the American Army on the
st. Quentin Sector Sept. 80, (By the
Associated Press) 1880 p. m.-Ameri-
can forces fighting on the Hindenburg
line south of Gouy have been heavily
engaged all day, and tonight the ac-
ton still continues.
Australian units have been CO.
operating with the Americans. Near
the north and south portals of the
tunnels through which the ST. Quentin
canal runs the fighting has been es-
pecially vigorous. 1t was at this point
that the Americans passed over the
canal. Thousands of Germans poured
into the struggle and have been
heavily engaged.
The st. Quentin canal tunnel runs
for more than five ki1ometers under
a mountain. The canal was held by
large numbers of Germans who were
on board electrically lighted barges.
There are wide towpaths and galleries
leading off from each side of the canal
and in them the entire garrison had
quarters. This section is probably
one of the strongest parts of the en-
tire Hindenburg system.

Dead Fill Mouth of Tunnel.

When the Americans swept past the
southern end of the tunnel, the Ger
mans remained in hiding until the
Americans got little way past and
then they poured up and plunged in
to the fight. They were engaged first
by the Americans and then by the
Australians. The tunnel mouth was
choked with dead. This action began
last evening and continued until 8
o'clock this morning with unabated
intensity.
American units now are holding
trenches in the Hindenburg line.
Latest reports indicate that north
of Bellicourt there was very heavy
fighting As a result the Americans
are holding lines forming a salient
which bulges slightly westward be-
tween Gouy and Joncourt, but this at
last reports, was being gradually
eliminated

Malinoff of Bulgaria is accused by the
Strassburg Post of having concealed
from the Bulgarian army a decision
arrived at by the Central powers
nearly ten days ago to turn over the
entire province of Dobrudja to Bull
garia.
The newspaper declares such a de-
cision was reached in Berlin on Sep
temjber 23 during. the visit of Talaat
Pasha, the Turkish premier but that
Premier Malinoff failed to make the
decision known to the Bulgarian
army lin time to prevent Bulgaria s

the station just before the 1 O'Clock
train for New Y ark was to pull out,
was told that a man, later giving the
name of Dinola had q suitcase full of
hand grenades He started to make
an arrest Oh suspicion. The man
fought and had to be oVerpowered.
The case held the grenades and each
had been wrapped in towels or under
wear. They We're ready for T. N. T.
and with this explosive they could
have been used as bombs in a
crowd, dropped from "a housetop,
thrown into the hold of q steamer
or handled in any way with great

The man, denying that he was q

cavalry. When asked if he had
served in the German army he re-
piled: II do not have to answer
that question" He had been working
at the Burns & Bassick plant and
he said he had the grenades as

93 INFLUENZA CASES
ARE REPORTED TODAY
Total Number 465-SchOOls
Not to ClOse-SOl-
,. dier Dies.

With an increase of 90 cases of Span
ish influenza in this city reported up to
z o'clock this afternoon, the health
department now has on its records of
quarantine a total of 465 cases. Late
yesterday afternoon several additional
cases were reported and when the
office closed last night total of 372
had been listed since the epidemic
broke out. These are the official
figures given out by the departme
Although the health board records
show 465 quarantined cases of this
disease, there is no doubt that there
are many more in the city that have
not yet been reported by the doctors,
owing to the lack of time. EOne physi-
clan is said to have received 141 cases
yesterday and has had scarcely any
rest himself in several days. Another
doctor has had to give ZIP his office
hours in order to attend to his house
patients and another physician stated
this morning that he has not had any
sleep in 3G hours. In addition to his
other calls, he has two serious cases
of pneumonia resulting from influenza
that demand his constant care. Doc
tors estimate there are probably be-
tween 500 and 600 actual cases in the
city.
: While the rumor has become circu-
lated about the city that the schools
are to be temporarily closed because
of the epidemic and because so many
of the teachers have been stricken
down. Judge B. F. Gaffney, chairman
of the school board, stated this after
noon that as yet his board sees no
actual necessity for such action. The
reports in the various schools show
only an average amount of sickness,
except in the East street school where
800 Of the 944 children are otlt sick
and five teachers are also confined to
their homes. 1t is explained however,
that not all of these cases are of in
fiuenza, but many are hard colds that
are being properly treated. At the
I High schools there are seven teachers
who are absent from their class rooms
because of illness

London, Sept. 30.---The wrongs of
subordinated peoples must be righted
and territories occupied by Germany
since the beginning of the war must
have complete freedom before
league of nations can be possible and
peace secured to the world, said Ar
thur J. Balfour British foreign secre-
tary, at the Guildhall today. He gave
his support to the ideas outlined in
President Wilson's recent New York
speech ..I
THE full magnitude of all the is
sues before mankind is thoroughly
realized said MIR. Balfour. "'If we
failed in this crisis not merely to win
the war, but to see that such wars
do not recur, our task would be but
half accomplished.
president Wilson's main theme
was this: That if the world would
make sure that it is going to have
peace, it must come to some arrange
ment by which malefactors or would
be malefactors are to be kept in or
der by a league of nations. The sec
ond proposition was that if you are
to carry out this great ideal the only
time to do it effectually is the mo-
ment when peace itself is being
forged by the labors of the victori-
Gus powers.

presidents mind
Restoration of independence.
IF you are going to render perma-
nent German domination over Rus
sia, especially western Russia, and
the small peoples along the Baltic;

of Poland; if the subordinated peo-
pies in the Austrian empire are to be
left under the heel of the German
and Magyar minorities; if the Balk-
ans again are to be the scene of
bloody wars and the occasion of hos
tilities among their neighbors; if the
Turk is to be allowed to resume his
bloody sway over the territories torn
from him; if Italy is not to have re
stored to her and added to her those
populations which really make her
indeed an Italy redeemed; if Greece
is to be threatened, as in the past by
the domination of the Central Pow
erS: if Serbia is not to be restored
after all her appalling sacrifices and
glorious gallantry; if France IS not
to resume her full place in western
Europe and if Belgium is not to be
restored in full measure, if all those
evils are not potentially to recur, then
YOU must do something more than
merely establish a league of nations.
.'You must put these wrongs right
before a league of nations can set to
work. You must give it a clean slate
to work upon. Then and then only
VIII 1, our league of nations work.
German Tyrant Must Be Chained.
Therefore, in order to make a
league of nations possible complete
aictory is absolutely necessary. Ger
