 The sanitary district, as now pro- posed to decrease the flow from Lakes Erie, Huron and Michigan by constructing wiers in the St. Clair and Niagara rivers.

LAON SET AFTRE;
RHEIMS FREED OF
GERMAN MENACE.

PARIS, Oct. 7.-Laon, the stronghold,
to which the enemy has been clinging
as the key point of his line on the
southwest, apparently has been set afire
by the Germans The town was reported
ablaZe yesterday and fires were still
burning there today.
Rheims has been finally and definitely
cleared from the menace of German
cannon. The Germans are in retreat on
the Arnes, as we'll as in the region south
of Cambria.
In the first named sector the allies
have reached the Arnes river, on which
the second region. the British fourth
army mas crushed counter attacks
which the enemy delivered in an effort
to prevent its progress toward Bohdln
and cover their retreat to the south.
These two movements of retreat from
a part of a plan which was to have
brought the German armies to new lines
CT resistance much nearer the frontier,
II appears, but the constant pursuit OF
the allied troops is making the execu-
ton of the plan most difficult and hdz-
ardous.
The peace proposals of the central
powers are in no way interfering with
the policy of destruction the German
staff seems to have decided upon. Sal
laumines, near Lens, is burning and
fires have been seen west and SOUTH
west of Lille and between Douai and
Souain. The troops advancing in the
Champagne found Nogent-L Abbessee,
Beine and all the villages in the valley
of the Suippe in flames
Laon has been ablaze since yester-
day. indicating that the enemy may be
about to leave that region as the Che

HUNT FOR BODIES
OF MEN KILLED IN
NEW JERSEY BLAST

PERTH AMBoY, N. J.. Oct. while
search of the ruins of the mammoth
shell loading plant of T. A. Giles
pie & CO.. at Morgan, continued
TODAY in the hope of finding more of
the bodies of the "a workmen who are
believed to have persisted in the trim
itrotoluol explosions last Friday and
Saturday, the work of rebuilding was
started.
OF the Fl bodies taken from the ruins,
only five have been identified. The re-
vised list of injured, it is said, would
number about $50.
Government officials, who have been
studying the effects of the disaster
which caused damage estimated at S25,-
OOO. 900, have adopted measures in the
rebuilding plants to prevent the poss1-
bility of another explosion in one
building from spreading such wide de-
Struction Fires were still shoulder
ing today in various parts of the ruins,
covering most of the 3,200-acre site, but
officials declared the danger of further
explosions was remote.
The urgent need of speeding up the
work of reconstruction was emphasized
by army officers who said that the sup
ply of munitions to the allies must go
forward without delay.
FugitiveS from Morgan, South Amboy
and other towns, who fled from their
homes in terror during the explosions
were permitted to return today. Many
of them found their houses wrecked.
The emergency camps of the Red Cross,
Women'S League for National Service
and other organizations still provided
meals and sleeping quarters for many
of the refugees today.

AMERICAN PEOPLE STRONG
AGAINST ANY FARLEY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-America's
temper towards a made-in-Germany
peace was clearly reflected today in
thousands of letters and kilograms pour
ing into the capitol, to senators and con-
gressmen. ......
BY actual count less than one-fifth of
one per cent of the messages even sug-
geSted serious consideration of the
"Austro-German plea" The vo1ces of the
nation, as heard in congress, is practical
ly unanimous against any parley with the
foe until he has been smashed into help
lessness. The letters and kilograms sim
ply confirmed what members Of con-
gress have ben hearing for months from
their constituents. Those who have gone
home campai gning have been told, they
said today, that a political lynching bee
is in store for any party that heeds any
German peace offer until America and
allied troops are within German borders
This feeling is stronger in the great
middle west than anywhere else, al
though every section of the country dis
plays ii in a marked degree.

ALLIES IN SERBIA
MAY SOON STRIKE
BLOW AT AUSTRIA

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Allied opera
tons in Serbia are being resumed
against the Austrian and German troops
who still hold about one-half of Serbian
territory. ~ r.
The abandonment by Austro-Hun-
garians of Albania, which borders Ser
bia on the west, has undoubtedly been
undertaken for the purpose of reinforc-
ing the Teutonic line in northern Serbia
Dramatic action by the allies is possible
invasion of Hungary. The fact that the
allies have secured full use of Bulgarian
territory for military purposes, brings
them within thirty-fve miles eff Hun
garian territory at the northwestern cor
ner of Bulgaria. .
Would Free Rumanaa
This intervening area is through Ser
iron gate which marks the passageway
over the Danube into Hungary. A move
ment by the allies through the iron gate
would compel the GeFmans and Austro
HungarianS to evacuate Rumania and
concentrate for the defense of the Hun
garian grain and cattle lands.
These are the principal sources of
food supplies for the Hapsburg empire
and have also been drawn upon to feed
the Germans.
A threat. by the allies against eastern
Hungary would result, for this reason,
in a situation of the utmost danger to
the central powers. Actual starvation
would overtake Austria Hungary If the
allies could reach the Magyar plains
The uncOnQlJlOnal SURRENDER OF
Hapsburgs might even be brought about
by the development of a serious threat
against the wheat lands without the
actual accomplishment of conquest.
Serbizns at Nish
The reported capture of Nish by the
Serbians put the allies astride the main
railway leading through northern Gerbia
to Belgrade the capital. Operations
along this railway would have as their
objective the rescue of all that remains
of Serbia in the enemy,s possession
The recapture of Belgrade. which bor-
ders Hungary, would put the allies
within 200 miles of Budapest. A move
ment toward the Hungarian capital,
however. would not include in it's sweep
the occupation of the Hungarian food
lands. Of the two detectives, the seizure
of Hungary's granary is more important
than the seizure of the capital.

Whole Garrison Is
Taken by Americans

AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, Sunday, Oct: 6.--(Reuters)---
Americans fighting under the command
of General Gourand are credited with
an amazing performance in the fight
ing Friday in the Champagne sector.
A detachment assisted by French vol
unteers, under an American captain, at
tackled a very strong machine gun nest
on the slopes of Mont Blanc, which
had long held up the allied advance.
With the utmost skill, the nest was
enveloped and captured and the entire
garrison of four officers and 269 men
were made prisoner. Seventy-five ma
chine guns, many trench mortars and
several tractors were taken. The Amer
leans did not suffer a single casualty.
The enemy is throwing some of his best
divisions into the line opposite the
American front. One of these is made
up of Badense troops and has been rest
ing in Alsace for the past month. This
division is a favorite of the German
emperor and attempted to stop the
American advance at Belleau wood in
the July offensive.

SENATORS OPPOSE
ARMISTICE WITH
GERMANY NOW

WASHINGTON, Oct 7.-Discussing
Germany's peace offer in the senate to-
day, Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
chairman of the foreign relations COM
mittee, declared absolutely abhorrent"
even a thought. of suspension or HOSTILE
ties now and recommended the addition
to the principles previously laid down by
the president as a basis for peace, one
providing that the allies would deal
only with real representatives of the
German people.
Republican Leader Lodge, ranking
minority member of the foreign rela-
lions committee declared that an ar
mistice would mean the loss of the
war and all we've fought for" Germa-
ny, he said, now merely proposes long
debate on the basis of peace.
The only future course, Senator
Lodge emphatically declared, is to Sc
cure a complete military victory over
Germany and force her to sue for
peace.
Senator McCumber. of North Dakota,
introduced a resolution which was re-
ferred to the foreign relations commit
tee, providing that before any arnis-
tice Germany must disband her army,
surrender her navy, arms and NUM-
tons, and agree to pay for damages to
cities and counties devastated, restore
AlSace-Lorraine to France, together
with the penalty exacted from France
