Broadway Light Enough

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: May be permitted to say few words
in reference to the letter Of Mr.. E. ". Estes
executive secretary Of the Broadway Associa.
ton, which appeared in this mornings paper
wherein he protests against the order of the
fuel administration in regard to the six
liehtless nights? AS lavman in the mat
ter of lighting and property values, I would
be much interested to learn what great pos
siblc disaster, plus possible danger, curtal-
ment of display and advertising signs would
have. Personally, find that there is enough
artificial illumination, even without the signs
TO permit me to cross the street and avoid
being over.
Mr.. Estes apparently believes tha. the aver
age saving of thirty tons night is of little
value. ! think many will disagree with him.
That amount of coal would be sufficient to
furnish heat to an apartment house housing
between forty and fifty families for period
OF from ten days to two weeks. and there are
day a number OF apartment house owners
and agents who would be more than glad if
they could procure the amount Of coal saved
by one "lightless night"
Ii the saving in coal consumption is based
upon the result Of the "ightless night" as it
Is now carried out, believe that the amount
of saving could be easily doubled for there
are great many stores places of amusement
and restaurants, which, while obeyng the let
ter of the order, are violating its spirit
Finally, why did Mr.. Estes and Mr. Wiggin
devote time on January to this question
which, after all, affects only limited class
Of property owners and tenants, when the
coal situation in the city at large was most
acute and tens of thousands Of people were
suffering from the cold, because insufficient
ccal was coming into the city,

long and skilful preparation German ap-
petite betrays German protestations; the
German cannot, even for the moment
and as a device, abandon his real deter
mination to conquer, to annex, to subdue.
That is why he failed at Brest-Litovsk;
that is why he failed year ago; that is
why he rushed into Belgium and brought
Britain into the war;
When the German talks about human
ity, about liberty for small peoples, about
international law, he does not mean to
acknowledge the principle, except as it
is convenient; when he talks about "no
anncxations and no indemnities" he does
not accept the fact, he merely seizes upon
a phrase likely to be useful. And the
moment the test comes the German nat
ure asserts itself, and the phrase, the pre-
text, the device, is cast aside.
And so we have come to the end of
one more German peace manmuvre. The
world has discovered that the Ger
man in 1918 is exactly what he was in
1914; that his designs upon his neighbors
and upon world liberties are precisely
what they were when he precpitated the
struggle. And having discovered this, the
world will return to the trenches, because
with Germany still seeking power and
profit there can be no peace
1t was probably necessary that the
masses in all the democratic countries at
war with Germany should have fresh and
tangible proof of the character of con-
temporary Germany They are just as
determined as all other elements in the
community to make war upon German
purposes when they are certain what
German purposes are. They do the fight
ing in the larger part; they make the
greatest sacrifice, and they are entitled
to see the facts for themselves.
Happily for US all, Germany has not

moment, at moment more critical

world knows, by virtue of contemporary
evidence, by the possession of recent
proof, that the Prussian is still on the

we have it, we know again where Ger

latest German peace campaign has COL
lapsed. 1t has collapsed, like all others,
because it was fraud and a sham, be-
cause, seeking conquest, the German
talked peace, and preaching humanitarian
doctrine the German was still plotting in

War Summary

AS the allies swept ahead in five
great offensives today Paris dis
patch stated that Bulgaria has ac-
cepted all the allied terms, which are
reported to have included surrender
Of her armies of invasion, demobiIi-
zation of the remainder, complete
severance with Germany, Austria and
Turkey and permission for allied
forces to traverse Bulgarian territory
freely.
The way is thus opened for re-entry
of Rumania into the war and quick
reestablshment of the eastern front.
The combined AnsIo-French-Ameri-
can smash on the fifty mile front ex-
tending from south of Douai to north
of LaFere has carried the allies into
suburbs of Cambrai. ST. Quentin is
practically surrounded. The British
ers are far past the great goal center
of Douai to the southwark, and are
within less than five miles Of that
city.
The Be!gans, attacking with the
British on thirty-five mile front
which extends from Dixmude nearly
to the Franco-Belglan frontier at
Armentieres, have driven wedge
iSafiy Clyhl u1to IbS SS'''o''
lines, the tip of which, at last reports
was only two miles away from the
vital railway center of Roulers.
In the Champagne and the Argonne
regions, the French and Americans
are pushing doggedIy ahead in the
face of increasingly stubborn resist
ance. The Americans have captured
BrieuIles, on the west bank of the
Meuse, about eight miles north OF
their starting point while the French
are approaching ChaIlerange, the
same distance from their junp-off.
Between the Ailette and the Aisne,
the French also are progressing
steadily and now are only six miles
south of the great railway center OF
Laon.
These operations on the west front
during the past week have netted a
total of more than fifty thousand
prisoners. To this can be added the
fifty thousand token i'm Palestine and
about half that many in Macedonia.
The Serbs have driven northward
until they are only twelve miles east
of Uskub and have cut off the Bull
garian retreat by capturing Carevo-
felo.
The allied drive in Palestine was
continuing at last reports while sue
cesses are being won in Serbia and
northern Russia.

WITH THE FRENCH WEST OF
VERDUN, Sept. 3O.-The Germans
are constantly throwing In fresh
divisions In an effort to hold back
the Americans between the Argonne
forest and the Meuse, resulting In
increasingly violent fighting.
Missouri, Kansas and Ohio troops,
after four days continuous fighting,
withstood the counter attacks Of the
fresh Boche masses without budg-
ing, then resumed their offensive,
gaining more ground.
The German artillery Is becoming
more active, while our 75's are firing
point blank from front line positions,
sweeping the Argonne hills, "pioneer-
ing, for the infantry.
l saw the beginning Of an Intense
battle yesterday afternoon from
point near Mont Faucon, twelve miles
northwest of Verdun, which Is now ur1-
der continuous enemy barrage.
Winding out toward Mont Faucon
from wood where the United Press
car was hidden, you walk across the
two day battlefield of rolling ground
until the formidable Boche barbed
wire around Mont Faucon hill, plus
the continuous explosion Of shells
ahead, delays you.
Mont Faucon is located on the crest
Of moderately sioping hill.
IFS gaunt ruins stand out against the
horizon. The American artillery con-
tinuaIiy bangs away while overhead
the American shells spasmodica
whistle, mixed with an occasional
long whine from d Boche prolectiie.
Off to the left from the Argonne
forest, the steady roar of other Ar1eri-
can guns adds to the din. All cur ar
tiiIery is concentrating on one speci-
fled small area, packed with machine
gun nests which INTERRUPTED the ad-
vance Of Missouri and Pennsylvania
troops. The barraee, sweeping on be
fore the attack, saved the lives Of
many doughboys.

Hungary can be expected.
That Bulgaria will conclude defi-
mite separate peace, as supplement
to the armistice, is taken for grant
ed The state department and allied
governments have evidence that
proves there is no "stalling" about
this situation. With Bulgarian Min
lister Panateroff proposing to see
Secretary Of State Lansing soon, 1t
is assumed that the separate peace
foundation will have its inception
here.
Bulgaria's chief concern now is to
have the final territorial adjustment
table, but whether or not this Is
granted, it is held certain that sign
Ing of the armistice means the effec-
tive, definite elimination of the Bull
gar from the eastern battle.
1t is expected today that the Bull
garian minister, Panateroff. would
see Secretary of State Lansing.
America already is in the matter,
however her representative at Sofia
being a participant in the negotia-
tions.
1t is assumed Panateroff will ask
the United States to do all We can
to aid in separate peace move
ment. with the single proviso that
the final territorial adjustment be
left to the great peace table of all
the nations.
The next big news from the east
is expected to be word that Turkey
has followed the lead of Bulgaria
and is seeking to drop opt of the
struggle.
If this happens, Germany's days
in the war will be materially les

The groundwork for the 1919 vic
