ing attended by the world at large.
This is what diplomats call a ne
gotiated peace. 1t will be declined
by the allies, because a negotiated
peace means at best a drawn battle.
There can be no draw with Germany.
The only way to save the world
from a continuation of the Prussian
menace will be to refuse Germany
the right to negotiate as an equal,
and to compel the kaiser to plead
for mercy. 1t will then be for the
democratic nations TO determine how
much mercy Germany shall have,
and In what form it shall be granted.
When the kaiser is convinced he
cannot entice the allies into a secret
peace conference. he will announce
the terms he is willing to accept. bar

responsive offers like an ancient

gressive offers may be expected to

WITH THE AMERICAN AR
MIES IN FRANCE. Sept. o.
American artillery has opened y
heavy bombardment Of lie Petite

height which rises $50 feet mt the
point where the German line
leaves the Aisne and dips toward
Rheims.
This height IL the key position to
the enemy front In that region.
IL Is furrowed with "a strong trench
system and its slopes and crest are
defended with thick belts OF barbed

which command the valleys on each
side. battering the trenches TO ruins
and generally making the snountain
stronghold most unhealthy for the
Germans.
The constant thunder OF six.inch
guns was rolling over the battlefield
as the American artillery lashed the
heights with n terrible hail OF shells.
German batteries behind the Aisne
replied, bombarding Fismes and the
back areas. dropping high explosives
haphazard over miles OF country in
their search for our gun positions.
simultaneously the American ar
tillery. with wonderful accuracy.
smashed the Aisne bridges behind
the Germans, who are still on the
southern bank of the river. AS this
was cabled. five bridges have been
torn up.
The enemy line from the Aisne
southeastward across the crests OF
the plateaus toward Rheims Is much
the same as It was Saturday.
The Germans early today were
holding with determination to the
tops of the tablelands. II is mainly
the strength OF lie Petite Montague,
now being battered, which has slow.
ed up the American advance toward
the Aisne on the right of our line. A
few more prisoners have been taken,
including five who hid out for the
purpose OF surrendering when our
troops reached their places of con
cealment.
