HUNS DISCLA|N
 KNOWLEDGE OF
 AUSTRIA'S PLEA
Germany Attempts to Pretend Surprise at Overtures for Peace Made by Her Serf Kingdom
Ry Review Lease. wire)

WASHINGTON. Sept. IS.-German disclaimers of knowledge of Austria s intention to despatch her proposal for nOn-binding discussions of peace are being made in the face Of information in possession of the American govern ment that the German government was fully aware of its ally's purpose.
 It is not known that Germany gave her specific approval to the Austrian move, but officials are satisfied that if approval was withheld it was sole ly for the reason that a doubt was en- tertained as to the success of the un- dertaking
 That-the German government was in full sympathy with the Austrian pur- pose is regarded as established from the record. Officials today called at tention to the fact that this latest pro posal was really nothing more than an elaboration in many words of one of the initial peace efforts launched by both Germany and Austria. December 12, 1916. On that date not only Ger many and Austria, but Bulgaria and Turkey addressed identical notes to the neutral diplomats at Berlin charged with looking after the inter ests of the allied governments, ex- pressing an inclination to enter into peace negotiations and requesting them to transmit this overture to the enemy states. As in the present case, the special interest of the pope was solicited and the neutral states were not concerned. Officials here see the marked resemblance between the two propositions.
 It was said at the state department today that so far it had not been in formed of the replies to be made by any other of the cO-belligerents, but it was manifest that little doubt was entertained as to what they would be.

MACEDONIA IS ACTIVE
FRENCH AND SERBS NOT ONLY WIDEN SCOPE OF OPERATIONS BUT COMPEL PICKED TROOPS OF GERMANY, SENT TO AID BULGARs, TO RETREAT

UNDATED WAR LEAD, (By
 the Associated Press) ).-British
 and French veterans have made
 another successful smash at the
 Hinesenburg line. Sweeping for
 ward on front of 22 miles, they
 went ahead from one and one-third
 to three miles, taking many pris-
 oners. The most important aspect
 of the advance is that it makes
 more certain the capture of St.
 Quentin, which the Germans have
 been ordered to hold at all costs.
 This important city is virtually
 surrounded on three sides and it's
 fall seems only a matter of days.
 Field Marshal Haie's third and
 fourth armies charged over the
 trench system occupied by the
 British before they were pushed
 back by the Teutonic fIooS last
 March. They captured, in wide
 sectors, the outer defenses of the
 Hindenburg line.
 The British assault was over a from of sixteen miles from Holnon, wesr of St. 0uentin, to GouZeacourt, nortl of Epehy. In their advance which reached depth Of more than three miles at some points, they took more than 5000 prisoners.
 Not only did the blow bring nearer the capture of St Quentin, which the Germans are struggling desperately tC hold, but it went far towards wiping out the only bulge in the British line which resembles a salient Epehy al the apex of the bend. has been taken anud the same fate has befallen Gouz eacOurt and Hargicourt which stood al the ends of the wing.
 The importance which the Germans attach to the territory wrested from them is indicated by the announce ment that they launched determined counter attacks as soon as they could be organized, from Hargicourt to the OmignOn rivulet
 The success of their efforts remains somewhat obscure, but it is not be lieved they can recover the ground they have lost.
 While the French advance was less spectacular than that of the British with whom they co-operated, they were equally successful in gaining their objectives. They moved forward on a front of six miles to an average depth of one and one-third miles, add ing several hundred prisoners to the British bag. They now hold the south ern outskirts of COntescourt, less than three miles from the suburbs of St Quentin
 This city, where the troops of Won GOeben scored a great victory in 1871 is one of the buttresses of the DOuai Cambrai-St lQunetin-La Fere-Laon line behind which it has been announced the Germans would not fall back
 With the French in the outskirts of La Fere. with St Quentin invested and with the British battling dogged ly for Cambrai. the great Hindenburg defense system is in danger of being preached at three of it's strongest points. Once busted from it the leu tons will have. back of them no strong Qualifications until they reach the Maubeuge defenses.
 Taking of St. Quentin remains . difficult task. however, for the Ger mans are in strong defensive posi- tions and a captured order from Gen eral Won Margen to the fourteenth re serve corps emphasized the import ance of the terrain they hold. He or ders them not to yield another fool
