FIERCEST FIGHTING
OF. THE ENTIRE. WAR
GERMANS BRINGING UP LARGE
RESERVES AND ARE RESISTING
AND COUNTER ATTACKING.

British Headquarters in France
The battle along the ST. Quentin
Cambria front was resumed on a
scale of ferocity unequaled in the
present war. The Germans have
brought up large reserves and are
resisting and counter-attacking with
| desperate determination. The Cana
dams north of Cambria are engaged
| against at least eight German divi-
sions, nearly 100000 men.
Joncourt was reported to have been
taken, with large part of the Nauroy
trench system. The Australians are
working up the trenches of the Hin
denburg system in the direction Of
Gouy, and have taken Estrees and an
important hill ridge astride the Hin
denburg line northeast of Bellicoult.
In Flanders, Ledeghem and Rolleg-
hem Capelle have been occupied.
The allied forces reached the high
ground southeast of Leyergies and
were along the line of the Joncourt-
Bony spur and the CamDrai-St. Quen-
tin railway spur. LIE Vergies, five
miles north of st. Quentin, marks the
point of the wedge driven into tho
German line in this sector.
North of Cambria the British are
again progressing, but bodies OF the
enemy continue te hold cut in the
city. The British are continuing their
pinching out plan.
Elsewhere along the front strong
battle patrols were pushed out to
probe the ,enemy's defenses. and great
accommodating activity is proceeding.
which should largely clear the situa-
ton.
In general the British armies are
eating their way through the linden
burg defenses, beyond which lie the
possibilities of completely open war
fare.
Some valuable territory was won
by the British First and Thirty-second
Divisions on the front between st.
Quentin and lie Catelet. This IN

KAISER TELLS ARMY

TONIC FRONT IN MACEDONIA
AFTER HARD STRUGGLE.
WANTS HONORABLE PEACE
Declares Hour Is Grave, But Trusting
Gods Gracious Help, We Believe
Ourselves Strong Enough To De-
fend Fatherland, Says Kaiser.

Berlin.--Emperor William issued a
proclamation TO the German army and
navy in which after announcing that
the Macedonian front had crumbled,
he declared that he had decided, in
accord with the allies, to again offer
peace to the enemy
The text of the emperor's proclama-
ton reads:
For months past the enemy with
enormous exertions and almost with
out pause in the fighting has stormed
against your lines. In weeks of strug-
giles, often without repose, you have
had to persevere and resist a numer-
ically far superior enemy. Therein
lies the greatness of the task which
has been set for you and which you
are fulfilling Troops of all the Ger
man states are doing their part and
are heroically defending the father
land on foreign soil. =. Hard is the
ask.
my navy is holding its own against
the united enemy naval forces and IS
.unwaveringly supporting the army in
its difficult struggle.
THE eyes Of those at home rest
with pride and admiration on the
deeds Of the army and navy. l ex
press to you my thanks and the
thanks of the fatherland.
1.-THE collapse of the Macedonian
front has occurred in the midst of the
hardest struggle. In accord with our
allies l have resolved once more to
offer peace to the enemy, but l will
only extend my hand for an honora-
BILE peace. We owe that to the he
roes who have laid down their lives
for the fatherland, and we make that
our duty to our children.
Whether arms will be lowered is
question. Until then we must not
slacken. We must, as hitherto, exert
all our strength unwearily to hold
our ground against the onslaught of
our enemies.
The hour is grave, but trusting in
your strength and in Gods gracious
help, we feel ourselves to be strong
enough to defend OH beloved father.

With three large training camps located in her state. the women were doing q tre= mendous work and had come to look upon democracy nj light that meant political freedom for them, as well as freedom for which their men were being sent to Europe to fight for.
 Mrs. Vaughan felt that if this de monstration in Washington was as successful as all the former rallies of the National Woman's Party, decisive suffrage action will follow, as action by Congress, or the president, has fol- lowed every big demonstration by the party.
 Her talk was very informal, and q pleasant feature was the interrup- tions made by those present in getting her viewpoint on different subjects. She closed her remarks by stating that esince the suffrage ilibuster on the 27th. the administration has se cured the passage of the wire control bill. in the face of threatened strike on the part of the workers. Women, far from striking, have devoted their untiring efforts to the many forms of work and sacrifice the war demands of them.
