The expected German peace Of

The Austro- Hungarian govern
ment has appealed to the Allied
nations for peace.
Germany has made definite
offer of terms to Belgium, accord
ing to advices reaching London.
The Austrian note invites all bel
llgerents to meet on neutral soil for
"non-binding"' peace discussion.
News of the notes appearance was
printed In late editions of yester-
days Tribune.
The Teutons have proposed that
the troops Of all the nations be
withdrawn from the Murman region,
according to incomplete informal
ton received here from London.
Whether this is one proposition to
be advanced by the Central Powers
at the proposed peace discussion is
not indicated, but it is believed that
this is part of the German plan to
eliminate the Entente from Russia
in return for concessions in the
West.
Associated Press advices from
Washington report, it is officially
stated, that Americas s determination
10 use force without stint or
limit is unchanged by the Aus
trian offer.
Robert Lansing, Secretary of
State, exhibited no surprise that
Austria should put out this peace

States had been expecting addresses

l. ton D. Baker, Secretary of War,
returning tonight from the battle

General Pcrshing's announcement

The people of the United States will
be overjoyed that their army. in close
cooperation with the Allies, has been
able to achieve this striking success.
"A particularly happy circumstance is
that the victory delivers from the in
vader territory which had been oc-
cupled for four years and restored it
to Franco and her people who had
been captive during the long period.
"The rejoicing of the civil popula-
tion at st. Mihiel knows no bounds.
and already, mixed with the war ma
tcrlal which crowds the roads, are
refugees returning to their homes.
THE action and all of the circum-
stances are brilliant and justify the

Secretary of War Baker, who last
March saw the tear stained and drawn
faces of the French refugees on the
roads fleeing from the Boche drive
toward Amiens, commented on those
smiling countenances. There was not
a sober face in St. Mihel. The Secre-

red brassard with embroidered golden
eagles, which is usually worn by the
American staff generals.

These happy repatriates greeted the
Secretary, like every one else, without
the slightest suspicion that he was the

the darkest days few months ago

American bayonets to France" 1t was
