PEACE PARLEYS
 FEATURE NEWS
No Government Involved Is Likely to Send Delegates to the Confer
 ence Suggested.

Overshadowing in interest ever Marshal Foch's hammer blows against the harried Germans, is the ] Teutonic bid for peace made through the imperial government of Austro- Hungary.
 Not only in Washington, but ir London and Paris, pacifists found cold comfort. None of the govern ments involved was inclined to take seriously the request that delegates be sent to such a conference as that proposed b the Austrian government It was pointed out that the United States and entente allies have made their peace aims so clear there can be no mistaking them.
 The assertion that "the central powers leave 1t in no doubt that they are waging war of defense for the integrity and security of their terri tories" was greeted with skepticism in the face of the Washington dis closures unmasking completely the in- trigue which has wrecked Russia.
 It is accompanied also by the an nouncement that German submarine had sunk the British steamship Gal way Castle with the loss of 189 lives. Ninety of those perishing were wo- men and children. At the same time, U-boats renewed their attacks upon shipping on this side of the Atlantic, shelling only 80 miles off the coast a transport carrying Canadian sick and wounded.
 Grim meaning was given the over lures by the announcement from Paris that Austrian troops, which, tried to block the way of the Ameri- cans, were utterly demoralized and surrendered to man.
 While the peace kite was in fligot, British, French and American troops continued their relentless pressure against the Germans. Pershing's men advanced from two to three miles on a 33-mile front. Haig's force ad- vanced northwest of St. Quentin, while French forces made progress south of the same city. Mangin's army simultaneously struck new blow at the German salient north of Soissons. Wherever the allied troops attacked the German lines moved back.

| Amsterdam, Sept. 16-The note in which Austro- Hungary invites the belligerents to a conference for a discussion of the possibilities for peace was dispatched by Baron Bu- rian, the foreign minister, on the or der of Emperor Charles, the Cologne yolks Zeitung declares.
 The peace initiative should have been left to the entente allies, accord .ning to the Tages Zeitung of Berlin which comments on the Austrian note.
 s.The fate of all previous announce ments as to the readiness for peace and conciliatory spirit on the part of the central powers will not encour- age great hopes for this offer to meet with any greater success says the newspaper.
