ITALY scoRNs PEACE PRoFFER.
Says Nothing Can Come Of Proposal
Made by Austria.


Rome. Sept. 1S.--The Italian govern
ment has no knowledge of the Austrian
peace note inviting n peace conference
except as II was reported in press dis
patches, says the Stefani News Agency.
The government however. is indi
Gated by the agency to be in no mood
to open such NEGOTIATIONS AS are sug-
gested by the unofficial text.
IL the text Is correct, says the agency
statement. the Italian government
points out that Austria's proposals
seek to create a semblance of peace
negotiations without any real consist
ency or the possibility OF a practical
outcome.
The entente nations and the United
States" the statement continues, "'have
made known their terms for essential
basis for a just peace. In these points
the Austrian note says not word. The
same remarks applies to the Italian asr
pirations.
Until Austria shows her intention to
recognize special aims as well as the
other detectives for which the allies
are jointly lighting, Italy will continue
to struggle for lasting peace founde!
on liberty and Justice

cording to the official statement today.
The Australians renewed their at
tacks and carried the Hindenburg out
posts. Many prisoners and q number
OF machine guns were taken by them.
The town of Iempire was captured
as was Gauche wood. Lempire is four
miles directly west Of Ls-Catelet.
The Germans late yesterday started
a heavy bombardment on the north
ern part Of the battle front southwest
of Cambrai. between Gouzeaucourt and
the Arras- Cambria road. The fire was
of extreme intensity. The enemy fol-
lowed his bombardment by strong in
fantry attack on wide front north
ward from Trescault. He was COM
pletely repulsed at all points with great
loss.
He was likewise driven off shortly
afterward when he launched a strong
attack at Mouvres. Some German
parties that succeeded in entering Brit
ish trenches We're entirely disposed Of
by counter attacks.

With the American Army on the
Vesle, Sept. 1S.--A German prisoner

captors that they send a note from
him to German soldiers by airplana or
otherwise explaining that the report
that Americans kill German prisoners
Is untrue. He said many Germans
were sick OF fighting and would sur

kill their prisoners as the Germans
have been led to believe by their Off

BRITISH SLOWLY ENCIRCL|NG ST. QUENTIN

II approval was Withheld 1t was
solely for the reason that doubt
was entertained as to the success Of
the undertaking.
Officials called attention to the fact
that this latest proposal was in reality
nothing more than an elaboration Of one
of the initial peace efforts launched by
the central powers on Dec IL, 1916.
On that date not only Germany and
Austria. but Bulgaria and Turkey ad-
dressed identical notes to the neu-
trail diplomates at Berlin. charged with
looking after the interests OF the
allied government, expressing an
inclination TO enter into peace nego-
t.ations and requesting them to trans
init this overture to enemy states.
AS in the present case. the special
interest of the Pope was solicited and
the neutral states were notified.
Secretary Lansing made public to-
day the communication he sent yes
terday to w. A. +. Ekengren. the
Swedish minister. In charge OF Aus
tro- Hungarian interests, conveying
President Wilson's rejection Of the
Austrian peace prosposal.
1t follows:
Sir: l have the honor to acknwl-
edge the receipt Of your note. dated
September 16. communicating to me a
note from the imperial government Of
Austria Hungary: containing n propos-
al to the Governments Of all the bellig-
erent states to send delegates to a con-
fldential and unbinding discussion on
the basic principles or the conclusion
of peace. Furthermore. it is proposed
that the delegates would be charged to
make known to one another the con-
ceptfon OF their governments regarding
these principles and to receive anala.
gous communications. as well as to re-
quest and give frank and candid ex-
plantations on all those points which
need to be precisely defined.
I'm reply. beg to say that the sub
stance Of your communication has been
submitted to- the president who now
directs me to inform you that the gov
ernment Of the United States feels that
there is only one reply which it can
make to the suggestion Of the imperial
Austro- Hungarian government. 1t has
repeatedly and with entire candor stated
the terms upon which the United States
would consider peace and can and win
entertain no proposal for a conference
upon matter concerning which it has
made its position and purpose so plain
ACCEPT. sir. the renewed assurances
OF my highest consideration.
Robert Lansing.
Secretary OF State"
1t was said at the state department
today that so far it had not been
informed Of the replies to be made
by any other OF the co-beliiyerents
but it was manifest that little doubt
was entertained as to what they
would be.

[By the Associated Pre.s. !

With the American Army on the
Lorraine Front, Sept. is.-Fear les.
the Americans would advance and
overwhelm them. bitterness over bad
food and dependency at the prospects
or the war are the keypotes Of letters
written home by German soldiers and
found on their persons when captured.
A certain American division has
made an exhaustive examination OF
these letters and found the morale even
of the men in the Tenth German reSi-
ment-the best opposing the Ameri-
cans-S decidedly low. IL IL can be
judged from private letters never in
tended for American consumption.
1T looks very bad for our dear
Germany" writes one German to his
wife, Who knows whether these
Americans will break thrur'
We fellows can not hold up thA

"and. OF coure. most Of the prisoners
are murdered. but then we have to be
satisfied with our fate what ever

Another German, however, DID MT
fear murder for he had written:
According to all Appearances: w.

constantly are on the alert and Afe
afraid the Americans are going 10 ~
tack. They have assembled ENORMOUS
numbers of tanks and tr0op0v In that
case we are lost for everything In our

Another soldier wrote that he felt
worse than dog. He declares that

WILL INVESTIGATE

Senate Authorizes Inquiry Into Charges
That Brewers Bought Washington
Paper-srisbane Admits Money Was
Loaned by Brewer.

Washington. Sept. l9.-Investigation
Of all political and proposanda activi-
ties Of the brewing interests was or
dered today by the senate.
II Will be directed particularly at
cahrges that the brewers had bought
a Washington newspaper. contributed
unprecedented amounts to campaign
funds, paid money to citizens and even
government officials and obtained
pledges from members Of congress
& Washington, Sept. DEMONSTRATION
of the recent charge of Alien Property
Custodian Palmer that n group OF
brewers bought Washington news
paper. was authorized today by the
senate. .....
Arthur Brisbane, owner and editor OF
the Washington Times. annoupced yes
terday that he bought the Times with
money loaned by a brewer.
The Washington Times, bought from
Frank A. Munsey a little more than n
year ago by Arthur Brisbane, chief of
the Hearst staff of editors. is the only
newspaper under the shadow OF the
dome of the capitol which has recent
ly changed hands, so far as is known.
Tuesday the Washington Herald,
published by c. T. Brainard. called
upon Mr.. Palmer editorially to give
the name Of the paper to which he re-
ferred
Yesterday In the Times Mr.. Brisbane
published an editorial statement that
to buy the Times he borrowed 1915, 900
thru loan arranged for him by c. w.
I T. ~, Il
the Federal Trust Company Of New
ark. N. j.. and the further statement
that he still owes Mr.. Munsey $3.50, 900.
Mr.. Brisbane says in his statement
"Mr. Brainard's Washington Herald
expresses interest in the ownership Of
the Washington Times and wants to
, know If it is owned by the brewers.
"Mr. Brainard will not resent the
statement that question coming from
him would ordinarily deserve little at
tention." But his questions may in
, terest others. Here are the facts:
1.-THE Washington Times Is 100 per
oent my property.
ut was purchased from Frank A.
Munsey for 100000, OF which sum
as has been previously stated in this
; column--$250,000 Is still due Mr.. Mum
sey. And he holds in his possession
J the entire stock Of the Washington
! Times rs security for the payment of
| the balance Of purchase money due
| him.
ITO buy the Times and put losing
property on paying basis I required
; approximately half n million dollars.
"Mr. C. w. Feigenspan, president OF
| the Fedaral Trust Company. OF New
! ark, N j.. is friend OF nine and n
brewer. As every newspaper editor in
the country knows. i have for more
than twenty years advocated as tenn
perancc measure the suppression OF
| whisky traffic and the encouragement
Of light wine and light beer.
! AZ nay reaues. Mr. Feigen.rsn
agreed that he would arrange for me a
loan of 3500.o0o. 1t turned out that
required less amount; s375.0oo was
! sufficient for the expense involved In
