LOSING
VICTORY HOPE.
WANTED PEACE
Baron Burian, Foreign Minister, Hoped
Wilson Would Intervene to Prevent
Further Useless Bloodshed.

Basil, Switzerland, Oct. l6.-The cen.
trail powers found themselves no longer
able TO hope for a military decision in
their favor, and Bulgarias demand for
peace only hastened the presentation Of
their peace proposals, Baron Burian, the
Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, de.
elared in recent statement to the for.
eign affairs committee of the Hungarian
delegation at Vienna.
Although the central powers have
been able to face the new military situa-
ton" the foreign minister said, 1T must
be stated that we cannot hope any longer
for a decisive success by arms, while our
adversaries are not sure of their power
to crush our resistance. Hence further
bloodshed is useless
Baron Burian said that sentiment of
pure humanity always pervaded Presi-
dent Wilson'S ideas on the solution of
world problems even when he Joined our
adyersaries and laid down certain prin-
ciples directed against us. His declara
tlons therefore, never remained without
influence amongst us and were never re-
lected by us in principle"
The foreign minister expressed the
view that the creation of a league Of ma
tions constituted preliminary condition
for the establishment Of peace Of mar
tial justice, such as President Wilson
and we desire. Such a league" he added
would form the bulwark Of the new
world. 1t is upon it that the various
states will build up their reciprocal rela-
tions"

REFORM IN FRANCHISE
Said to Have Been Agreed to BY Prussian
Conservatives.

Copenhagen, Tuesday, Oct l5.-The
last obstacle to the reform of Prussia's 5
antiquated three-class franchise has been
removed by the adoption unanimously of
the following resolution by the conserva-
tive faction in the Prussian Diet:
In the hour of the fatherands great
est distress and in realization that we
must be equipped to fight hard battles
for the integrity of the fstherland's soil,
the conservatives of the Diet consider it
a patriotic duty to lay aside all internal
conflict and be ready to make heavy sac
riflces TO attain the ends in view The
members of the party believe that a far
reaching rehabilitation Of the Prussian
constitution will not advance the welfare
of the Prussian people, but are neverthe-
less prepared to abandon their opposition
to the equal franchise in Prussia, in ae-
cordance with the latest decision of their
friends in the House of Lords, in order
to assure a harmonious front against the
outside world"

ciated Press .--Menin has fallen. Allied
troops are mile east of Roulers and
advanced patrols are, according to latest
reports, within a mile of Courtrai. The
Lys river seems to have been crossed be-
tween Confines, which has been captured,
and Warnaton. Another crossing of the
Lys has been effected at Wervicq, it is
reported.
The enemy has begun withdrawal
from pont "a Vennin and Berclau and
from the Rolleghem front. Here British
patrols have reached the outskirts of
Neurchin.
Everywhere the Germans are fighting
rear guard actions. The battle Is being
fought in continuous rain.
Cuerne has been taken. The Belgians
have captured Bevern station. They are
east and north of the Bevern canal and
are before lseghem.

German lines both north and south of the
area under attack and the enemy retire
ment reported from the southwest is the
result Additional fires and explosions
are reported.
There was an impressive scene at Roul-
ers when the place was taken. A French
major gathered the rescued civilians and
German prisoners around battered
piano in the square and as the shells
screamed overhead, he played the Mar
sellaise."
The civilians eheered themselves
hoarse.
Roulers was in good condition after the
German retirement.
Definite information has been received
that the Germans removed Spanish and
American rations worth $4,000 francs be-
fore abandoning Roulers. The liberated
civilians there revealed the hiding places
of some Germans. They also pointed out
where enemy mines had been planted
To-night's reports indicated the French
cavalry has managed to get through the
German lines. It is said they have
reached Lichtervelde and now are prob
ably beyond that place.

MADE BY GERMANS
Machine Guns, Artillery Fire and Minor
Counter-Attacks Were Employed
Against Americans.

With the American Forces northwest
