ITALY SEEKS AID
FRONUMTEDSTATES
TOEXPEL INVADERS
Claim Is Made Austrians Out
number Italians By MIL
lion Or More.

Washington, Sept. 25.-Thrilled by
American valor in France, Italy is
seeking the aid of the United States in
driving off and defeating the AustrO-
German invaders Of her soil, it was
learned in diplomatic circles today.
The great numerical superiority of
the Austrian armies in Italy, as opposed
to entente preponderance in France,
and practically of the other theatres
of action, is the basis of the Italian plea
for assistance.
The Italians also firmly maintain
that the Italian front is the logical one,
both from. military and a political
viewpoint, for decisive blew.
1t is estimated that Austria has near
ly million men more available than
has Italy.
The announced military policy is for
absolute concentration of American
power in one gigantic drive in France.
The Italians, however, are declared
to be hopeful that the United States
will So fit to throw a considerable force
into Italy this year to reinforce the
small representation now carrying the
Stars and Stripes on the Piave.
1t Is held by Italians here that Am
erica can easily send a considerable
fighting force into Italy without in
terfering with her army in France.

LIBERTY MOTORS IN
AMERICAN PLANES
ARE GREAT SUCCESS
All Airplane Experts Are En-
thusiastic Over Results
Obtained

Paris, Sept %. - Liberty motors,
placed in American built planes which
are manned by American aviators, have
completely yindieated themselves. They
have cleared themselves from the cloud
of doubt raised months ago in the Unit
ed States. In the battle during which
the st. Mihiel salient was captured
fleets Of American airplancs, used for
the first time in large numbers, proy-
ed huge success All airplane experts,
not only those attached to the Ameri-
can forces, but also those with tho
French and British, are most enthusi-
astic over the results attained by mo-
tors, planes and pilots
John d. Ryan, head Of the American
aircraft board, has returned to raris
after watching the American airplanes
in action. His impression, after seeing
the work and talking to pilots and al
lied experts, may be summed up as
follows:
That there is no such engine power
or lightness in the allied or German
armies; that there is no other engine
for which there is such demand.
Every official and every officer
knowing the result of St. Mihiel is
most pleased with the prospects for the
future.
American pilots have given won
derful account of themselves.
Ryan is continuing his inspection Of
training camps and British and French
manufacturing plants and studying tho
movements of airp'ane supply to adj
yanced areas.
Colonel Arthur Woods, former police
commissioner of New York, has joined
the Ryan party.

ARMIES OF BULCARS
MAY BE DIVIDED
ON SERBIAN front
If Allies Gain Mountain Passes
: Doom Of Western Forces
Is Sealed.
By II. w. T. Mason

New York, Sept. 25.-The allied OPP
erations in Serbia are threatening to
separate the Bulgarian armies operat-
ing in western Macedonia from the ar.
mics east of the Vardar, which are de.
Tending the Bulgarian boundary.
The mountain passes to the North
west of Prilip are now coming within
the allies sphere of activity. Once the
advance of the Serbians spreads in this
direction, hill barriers will be impos-
cd between the two Bulgarian armies,
making direct communication impos-
sible. Thereafter, if the Bulgarians
cling to western Macedonia, they will
be in peril of annihiation. Their only
way of possible escape will be into
northern Serbia and then through diff
ficult mountain territory eastward.
The Serbian drive along the main
Macedonian railway toward Uskub is
preceding slowly. Instead Of concentrat
ing all their power on driving ahead
along the single line, the allies are now
extending the area of their operations
probably for the purpose of preventing
an exclusive Bulgarian concentration
for the defense Of Uskub and its branch
railway leading to Sofia.
British attacks in association with
the Greeks which have reported the
capture of Doiran, are developing a
new threat against Bulgaria from the
south, while the Serbs and French con-
tinue their operations parallel with
Bulgaria's western boundary. Strong
mountain defenses are between the An
glo- Creek armies and the Bulgarian
frontier, but there is possibility that
these can be turned by flankinp move
ment against the Bulgarian right wing.
If this operation were to succeed, the
important supply center of Stroumitza
inside the Bulgarian border, would be
threatened. Its loss would compel the
B.lgarians along the Vardar to move
hastily northward to avoid falling VIC
tim to second thanking operation
along the important Stroumitza-Istip
hiphway.

Already Discouraged And Tir-
ed Of War Great Defeat
Hits Bulgars Hard
BY Raymond Clapper
nited Press staff correspondentl

L
Washington, Sept. 25. = Bulgarians
are setting the stage for a peace move
through which the allies may be able
to block Germany's path to the east,
entente diplomats indicated here to-
day.
Keeling under the combination Of q
disastrous Nout simmering over 80 mf1es
of Macedonian front, and seething dis
content at home, Bulgarian officials
are being pressed hard toward an ap-
peal for peace. Preliminary moves arc
already under way it is understood.
Keen expectancy was aroused in dip
lomatic circles here today with the re-
turn of Bulgarian Minister Panaretoff
to Washington after a summers ab-
sence. What this diplomat will propose
was a subject Of widespread discussion.
Bulgaria is now trying to get the
allies ear Whether she succeeds de-
pends upon whether she will disgorge
her conquest. Entente diplomats are un-
derstood to be inclined to give serious
consideration to any genuine Bulgar-
ian offer of peace-but only on strict
conditions.
President Wilson has maintained O
friendly attitude teward Bulgaria, de-
spite strong pressure on him to force
a break. Great Britain and other en-
tente nations are ready to accept an
to make peace with Bull
garia-provided justice can be done
to Greece and Serbia. in order TO cut
the Berlin-to-Bagdad route, which
menaces British possessions in the east,

to the Austrian bid for peace con

an appeal for peace. Car Ferdinand s
