TURKS THREATEN KAISER

Instead Of Vice Versa, Say Diplomats.
London. Oct. 4.--Diplomats say, in
stead of Germany threatening Turkey,
as was reported a fortnight ago when
Bulgaria was wavering, Turkey Is now
threatening Germany. This has re-
suited in an effort by Germany to get
some troops to Turkey, but the size
Of the force to be sent or what success
has been made in transporting it, are
not known.
Reports that the central powers have
sent a large force to Sofia, the Bull
garian capital, are discredited on all
sides.
A diplomat familiar with Turkey,
points out that it will take the great
est pressure on Enver Pasha, a strong
pro- German, to make peace proposals.
Reports that Turkey took up with Ger
many the question of Turkeys re-
questing peace are characterized as
Intelligent anticipation" and evidently
emanated from the demands Turkey
made for military help.
Failure to get this help which Ger
many, it seems will not be able >
give, and further Teuton reverses on
the western front are sure to bring
proposals from Turkey This Is the
belief in the best informed circles. On
the other hand, 1t Is pointed out that
situations may be developing in Tur-
key of which little or nothing is known
here, that might result in proposals
coming at any time.

HEAVIEST BARRAGE
Violent Attack of Enemy Only
Spurred Doughboys to

Copyright, N. Y. WORLDLY Flung
back beyond his last prepared lines OF
defense and forced to fight in the
open, the enemy since Friday has
sought to stay our advance on the Ar
Eonne front with every means at his
disposal.
The Americans have advanced in the
teeth of the most violent artillery and
machine gun barrages they have ever
facedI The capture of trenches in and
around Epinonville and IVORY, and the
advance beyond. amounted to storm
ing of small Gibraltars. Rear guards
of the German forces remained in eel
lars and specially constructed dugouts
and well hidden galleries of reinforced
concrete and fought on with a valor
worthy of better cause.
Their artillery, which had been fee
BILE, sprang into being again with re-
newed vigor, and Pershing's men ad.
vanced under Il continuous downpour
of high explosives, which necessarily
retarded but failed to halt their pro-
gress.
Took Foo by Surprise.
Orders were issued to artillery com.
manders to realign their batteries fol
depth firing, and this maneuver was
being carried out when the Americans
opened the attack.
Many of the foes guns were being
transferred to fresh emplacements and
could not reply to the first salvoea
from our guns.
The early comparative scarcity Of
manpower and machine guns among
the German front line units was over
come on the night of the 2Sth, when
fresh German divisions were rushed
forward in motor trucks. One of the
units thus brought up was the famous
Prussan guard division that fought
against the American marines at Bel
leau wood last June. There are now
two guard divisions opposing us In this
struggle.
The enemy has thrown every avail
able reserve battalion into the fray,
thus increasing the number of ma
chine guns at his disposal. Among
the increasing number Of prisoners we
have taken are men from fifteen Diff
ferent divisions.
