Newark, N, J., Sept. l7.-Trapped
IN cloak room on the top floor,
eight girls, boy and a man per-
lshed today in fire which destroyed
the plant of the American button
company. Another girl was killed,
when, seeking escape from the
flames, she leaped from a window
Nine other girls were injured, sew
eral probably fatally.
At 2 o'clock the factory hummed
with the industry of more than 800
young women engaged in making
buttons for army and navy uni
forms. At $50 the building was a
flame-swept ruin, the top floor of
which formed tomb for workers
who had been driven into the cloak
room by flames and smoke. At
4:30 the fire was virtually ex-
tinguished and the task of identity
ing the victims began.
The girls on the lower floors
made their escape. Most of the dead
and injured were working in the
carding room at the top of the build
ing. 1t is believed that when they
found escape by means of fire es-
capes and stairways cut off they
fled in a panic to the cloak room,
where their bodies were found later.
All were burned beyond recognition
and it was only through trinkets and
bits Of scorched attire that identifi-
cation was possible.

Wilson's Curt Note Rejecting
Proposal of Austria For
Warded by Sweden; Al
lies to Follow Suit.
By Associated Press.

Washington, Sept, 17.-Austria's S
peace offensive is a closed incident
so far as the American government
is concerned.
Secretary Lansing sent to the
Swedish minister today the note
authorized last night by President
Wilson flatly rejecting in two short
sentences the proposal of the Aus
tro-Hungarian government for Sc
cret and non-binding peace discus
sions. It was started on the cables
at once for transmission to Vienna
by the foreign office at Stockholm.
The presidents accommodating
the precedent-setting brevity of the
reply and the promptness with
which it was delivered-drew ex-
pressions of approval during the
day everywhere in Washington, at
the capitol, among officials and
throughout the allied diplomatic
corps. Similar responses from other
nations at war with Germany are
expected to follow quickly.
Lodge Approves Wilson's Course.
In the senate, Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts,, republican fl o or
leader, and the ranking minority
member of the foreign relations
committee, voiced the feelings of
congress on the subject in pre-
pared speech heartily approving the
presidents course as both wise and
right. The United States, the SEN
ator said, can talk peace only to a
Germany beaten and deprived OF
power further to harm a wronged
world.
He was followed by Senator Nc
Cumber of North Dakota, republl-
can, and Senator Thomas of Colo
RADIO, democrat, with like express
sions. On the house side, Reprc-
sentative Fess of Ohio, chairman OF
the republican congressional COM
mittee, spoke in approval.

1t appears probable that fur
ther advance by the anco-Serbian
troops will necessitate the recall Of
the Bulgarian divisions which have
been loaned to Emperor William to
bolster the Teuton resistance in
France and Flanders.
Bulgaria Admits Retirement. VI
An official Serbian report de-
clares that the reconstructed army
of the battered, but not beaten,
little kingdom has taken not only
5000 prisoners, but an important
park of cannon. The BuIgars adj
nit having retired, but declare the
attack had been checked to the
north of Gradeshitsa. There Is
nothing to indicate, however, that
the advance of the Serbs and the
French has been definitely held up.
The lull in the fighting in the
west is regarded by military critics
as merely the prelude to further
heavy blows at the foe by the Amer
leans, British and French armies.
Allies Making Steady Progress.
The British advanced their lines
slightly at several points. They are
making steady progress in the in
vestment OF St. Quentin. a difficult
task even, under the mo sd n ~ NJ
conditions. ~
General petain's Veterans are forr1
ing ahead slowly but surely IN their
grim and desperate struggle for the
st. Gobain forest, which the Germans
have been ordered to hold al al
costs. Not only is the position 4
natural citadal, but the Teutors have.
fortified it in every way their in
gcnulty could devise. Notwithstand-
ing the difficulty of their task, how
ever, the French are moving Cd.
taking prisoners as they go.
Huns Burning Villages.
On the American front the past
"a hours have been the onictest
since General Pershing's command
launched its irresistible drive against
the St. Mihiel salient. There are
indications that the Germans intend
to retire behind the Hindenburg line
in this sector. They are burning
villages along the Moselle and n
other sections. This procedure
usually is preliminary to retreat.
Another victory has been record
ed for the Americans, British and
French on the newly Constituted
eastern front. Detachments of the
allies have routed bolshevik forces

sale murder.
Thousands OF persons have been
shot without even a form of a trial,
it was said, and many OF them prob
ably were innocent of the political
views for which they were executed.
The assassination of Moses Urit-
sky, head of the comission against
the Counter-revolution, and the at
tempt on the life of Premier Lenine,
were direct results of this condition
of tyranny, said the advices. Be-
sides the 500 persons who were
shot in connection with the death
of Uritsky, a large number of other
persons are held for execution in
the event that further attempts are
made on the lives of the bolshevik
leaders.
Prisons Filled to Overlooking.
A general search is being made
of the homes in Moscow of the
well-to-do and of former officers, i'll
an effort to secure any shred of evil
dence upon which to make arrests,
said the dispatches. The prisons
are filled to overflowing and execu-
tons continue daily.
In addition, irresponsible and
vengeful gangs are venting on inno-
cent persons their desperation over
the daily declining power of the
bolsheviki, while the socialists, who
are opposing the soviet government
have adopted the same methods that
they once used against the tyranny
of the imperial government.
All the newspapers in Moscow ex-
cept the bolshevik organs have been
suppressed since July /.
