Chancellor Tells Germany's Peace
Idea.
WILL NOT YIELD ALSAcE
Declares There Is No Difference Be-
tween Germany and Wilson Re-
garding Freedom of Seas-Asks
Britain to Surrender For
titled Points.

Berlin, Jan. 26.-CbancellOr Won
Hertling, in his address before the
main committee of the reichstag
Thursday, said there was no difference
between Germany and President VIII
son regarding the freedom Of the seas.
Thorough freedom of navigation IN
time of war, as well as in peace, was
one of Germany'S main demands. 1t
was eminently important for future
free navigation that England should be
made to relinquiSh her strongly fortI-
fed points of support on international
sailing routes, such as Gibraltar, Alden,
HOngkOng and the Falkland islands.
Commenting on the Ia points in the
program for world peace set forth in
President Wilson's address to con-
gress, he said an agreement could be
obtained without difficulty on the first
four points.
1.-THE first four points relate to abo-
lition of secret diplomacy, free navi-
cation of the seas outside territorial
waters, subject to international laws ;"
removal of economic barriers and es-
tablishment of equal trade conditions
among nations; reduction of arma-
ments.l
Outlines Unsatisfactory.
"Concretely, the outlines are unsat-
isfactOry," the German chancellor In
sisted.
He demanded that "enemy leaders"
set forth new proposals."
'"There are no differences between
us and President Wilson as to freedom
of the seas" the German chancellor
asserted.
'But it is most important for future
freedom of navigation that England re-
linquish strong fortified points placed
on important sailing routes-such as
Gibraltar, Malta, Alden, Hongkong and
the Falkland isles"
Restriction of military prepare
tiOns," the chancellor continued, dis
cusSing President Wilson's demand for
limitations of ornaments, sis open to
discussion. The financial position of
all European countries after the war
will probably work effectively for a
satisfactory solution of this matter"
'I acknowledge that President Will
sons tone is now different from what
it was before his attempt by means Of
the American reply to the pope to sow
dissensiOn between the German gov
eminent and the German people.

letter of Carlyle's to George Howard,
NJ. P, dated November "a: 'The I'M
speakable Turk should be Immediately
struck out of the question, and the
country left to honest European guild

ever, that Carlyle had made use of it.

Germans will experience difficulty in
eHtrieating themselves without GREAT
loss of men and material. Ultimately

Washington, Sept. 13.-StriLiaa'
machiniBts at Bridgeport, Conn, havs
been notified by President WflHon
that unless they return to work and
abide by the wage award Of the war
labor board, they will be barred from
employment for a year and dFafk
boards will be instructed to reject any
claim for exemption from military
service based upon their alleged use-
fulness on war production.
The Presidents warning went to~
day in a letter addressed 10 the ma
chinists, replying to resolutions for
warded to him, announcing the strike
because Of dissatisfaction over the
war labor boards award and a later
Interpretation by an umpire.
The letter was addressed to the
Bridgeport district lodge Of the In
ternationaI Association Of MachinT
lists, "and other striking workmen Of
Bridgeport, Conn"
It follows:

London, Sept. 13--Thes assault on
the St. Mihiel salient dominates the
news columns of the newspapers to-
day. which feature it with the biggest
headlines. The opening blow in
Marshal Foch's great offensive
scheme claims attention in any case,
but this one has a special attraction
as the first stroke OF the Independent
American army under direct Amer
ican command and as such is hailed
as one of the mslestones OF the war.
That the blow thus far has sue
ceeded SO well and brought such
large haul of prisoners affords an
opportunity fo~ congratulations by
the press.

London, Sept 13.-General Perish
ing's forces in their attack on the
southern side of the st. Mihiel sali-
ent have advanced for a distance of
eight miles. The assault was made on
a front Of ID miles.
The Americans arre, reported to
have captured Vigneulles, seven and
a half miles north of xivray through
which the former line ran. General
Pershing's troops also are said to
have captured Beney, Heudicourt
and the Bois de Thiaucourt.
If these places really nave been
captured the neck of the st. Mihiel
salient has. been narrowed to less
than six miles and If the two Ger-
man divisions reported last night to
be in the salient stiIl are there, it is
decidedly improbable that they Will
be, able to get away. The Germans
are blowing up ammunition dumps at
HattonviTle and Domboux.
General Pershing's troops so far
have captured $500 prisoners and
have, taken SO German guns.
On the west side Of the st. Mihiel
salient where the country is much
more difficult and where the Ger
man resistance has been more deter
mined the Americans have made an
advance Of three miles on a 10 mile
front The Americans were making
rapid progress In their continuation
