to establish a community kitchen in
the Blue Mountain high school, the
purpose of which is TO give the girl
students instruction in the preparation
of war dishes, which instruction the

the experiment is to be furnished by
the pupils, and the instructions are to
be under the general direction of Miss

EXPECT INSTANT REJECTION
Washington Doubts Sincerity of Ger
man Peace Proposal.

Washington.-The American govern
ment will take no action or make no
official comment until it knows official
Iy of the reported Austrian proffer of
an arnistice with the peace negotia-
tons on President Wilson's basic prin-
ciple.
There was a tendency here to cast
doubt on the sincerity Of the Austrian
and German peace owe
If a message has been forwarded to
President Wilson, as reported, it Will
be answered.
Authorities, however, say that Will
sons principles are so clear that there
IS no occasion for bargaining or bag
Cling over them. The State Depart
ment takes the position that acts speak
louder han words. Hence, if Austria
and Germany wish peace they must
make certain initial physical moves to
prove their sincerity. They include re-
moval of troops from Russia. Belgium
and France-things not yet accom-
plished.
Authorities here have said that n
German suggestion for such a suspen-
sion would have to carry with it an of
fer for the complete withdrawal of
Teuton armies from allied soil. Inas-
much as Max's reported offer contains
no such terms there will be no dispo-
sition here to listen TO his offer.
In other words, authorities here hold
chat this proffer is insincere and unac-
ceptable.
Instant rejection by the United
States Will be the fate of the latest
peace proposals from the central pow
ers.
President Wilson viii handle the sit
%uation. and handle it in a hurry. He is
expected to act as soon as the State
Department receives officially the text
of the notes from Berlin and Vienna.

RSme.-American, British and Ital-
ian naval base at Durazzo and the war

announcement made by Premier Or

The attack on DuraZzo took place at
noon, when italian and British cruss-
ers, protected by Italian and allied

through mine fields and avoiding at,
tacks by submarines, got into Durazzo

An intense bOmbardment followed
until the base and the Austrian ships
anchored there were completely de

Italian sailors, in the teeth of a hot
enemy fire, torpedoed an Austrian de
stroyer and a steamer. Another YES.

British and Italian airplanes coop
Grated in the work. Other Italian and
allied warships were drawn up in o.

CUT ENEMY LINE OFDEFENSE
Loss Of ST. Quentin and Advance Of
fiaig's Forces Send Huns Into
Open Fight.

London.-Between Cambria and st.

has been broken. 1t is uncertain
lines the enemy has in the rear. The
British advance threatens the Ger

ley and also from the massff OF 81.
Gobain.
Under the attacks OF British, French
and American troops the Hindenburg
defense system from the Scarpe to the
Disc. a distance of so miles, is being
overrun. In the north the valuable
network of railroads in Flanders rap
idly is becoming useless and in tee
south the French are pressing vigor-
ously their advance west and north OF
Rheimes.
In view of the loss to the Germans
OF st. Quentin and the lines TO the
north of that city, an enemy retirement
on a fairly large scale seems proba-
bic. Given fairly good weather, some
very big changes on the western from:
may be seen before winter.

URGE ULTIMATUM TO HUNS

Washington-An ultimatum to Ger
many regarding the ruthless destruc-
ton of cities and private property in
Northern France and Belgium is being
urged on the allies and the United
States and is under consideration.
The burning OF Cambria and ST.
Quentin and the devastation of one Of
the most populous regions of Europe
as the Germans retreat has aroused
great Indignation and it was said in
diplomatic circles that Germany would
be warned that If she allows the work
of destruction to continue severe re-
prisals will follow.
1t is suggested that cities of the
Rhine should be marked for destruc-
ton and the Berlin government told
that for every French and Belgian city
ruined without military reason a CITY
equally important and valuable. senti-
mentally and materially, would be laid
waste

GERMAN R0uT MAY RESULT
Hindenburs Line Disintegrating-sn.
vestment of ST. Quentin Also
Threatens Retreat Scheme.

Washington.-The German grip OF
Northern France and Belgium has
e definitely broken. Even h most
cautious military observers In Wash
ington agreed that the Hindenburg
line was distintegrating and army OF
ficers conferred their whole attention
on the efforts of the German leaders
to extricate their armies without q
crushing disaster.
Outflanked in Belgium and in the
Champagne, the great German zone of
defensive works known as Il linden
burg line already was becoming unten
able when Field Marshal Haig's men
smashed through it just north of st
Quentin. The immediate investment
of the city by French troops and the
swift widening of the breach north

Id progress of French, Belgian AMI

here. may possibly upset the whole
German scheme of retirement which
already has begun on the Rheimes
front.

was said, may furnish Marshal Focl
with a mean to embarrass the Ger
man retreat, always with the possibil-
ity of precipitating a veritable rout.

HARDEST FIGHTING
OF THE GREAT WAR
YANkS SHOW THEIR METTLE IN
ACKNOWLEDGMENT GAMELY,
THOUGH SURROUNDED.
HEAVY ODDS AGAINST THEM
Masked Machine Guns Start Fire, But
the Yanks Are Too Fast-Amer-
leans Go Right Over the Top
With Gallant Spirit.

With the American Party in the st
Quentin Standardization regiments
fighting In the Hindenburg line along
this sector OF the front have seen some
OF the hardest fighting of the war. 1t
was a furious. desperate struggle into
which they plunged. They fought day
INC night in groups and single-handed,
in and out Of shell holes. They showed
g%allantry, self-sacrifice and devotion
to duty unsurpassed by any other
troops.
From the instant they leaped from
their trenches they raj into snipeIs
and hordes of machine guns. German
in~fantrymen, spurred on by their Off
GERS. stood up before them offering
h-and-to-hand combat.
Some of the stories of the men who
fought tell of the terrific nature of the
struggle. One Brooklyn regiment took
and retook a position known as the
Knoll three times. The battle swung
back and forth with the men so close
to each other that rifle butts were just
as effective as anything else.
On the first assault the Americans
rushed forward and suddenly met
masses of machine guns which wer,s
camoufIaged and held their fire until
the Americans were close upon them.
The Americans went right IN and
were on top of the guns before they
began firing. The Germans did not
continue their m%urderous work long.
A dash. a leap. a flash of a bayonet
and a stab or flame from a rifle aud
one nest after another was silenced,
and the Americans plunged on.
A Brooklyn captain was isolated IA
a shell hole with IL men while an en-
envy machine gun nearly poured a hot
fire into the party. Finally the captain
was wounded, and ordered his SER
geant to take the men away and save
themselves. The sergeant started, but
after the men had crawled a few feet
on all-fours the sergeant asked them:
81 think it is bad to go away and
leave the captain. Do you fellows
want to go back and stay with him?"
All answered in the affirmative and
they crept back and rejoined the cap
tain. They fought like wild men and
killed with their rifles many Germans
When the gallant party was relieved
later the only man not wounded was
the sergeant.

GERMANS ARE RETIRING.
Belgian Army Successfully Renews At

Paris-The Germans are moving

Belgian coast, according to reports
here. The Belgian army, cooperating
with the British army of Gen. Plumer

The towns Of Menin and Roulers,
