|AUSTR|A-HUNGARY AND TURKEY ARE
 SAID ID HAVE ACCEPTED PEACE TERMS
Washington Denies Having Received Any Communication on
 the Subject.

Acceptance by Austria Hungary and Turkey of President Wilson's terms reported in an Amsterdam dispatch also would not be surprising. it was said Conditions in both countries are known to be favorable to the ending Uf the war at the earliest possible mos ment.
 The next move of tho German clan-- celor is being awaited by officials here with equanimity. This feeling is intensified because there is not tho slightest intention to slacken tho tre- menduous general offensive of the en- tente and American forces which is progressing so rapidly and success fully that every days delay on the part of the German government brings nearer its involuntary compliance with the cTl1ions laid down by President Wilson That German soldiers must be withdrawn from occupied territory before there can be any discussion of peace.
 Apart. from the press reports frcmv Basel and Copenhagen tue state de- partment late today had received no information of the progress made by the German council of state in framing reply to President Wilson's inquir- ies
 Officials were unable to understand the submarine attacks on non-com-- lbatants and merchant ships within the last few days as well as the aD- parently wanton and vean2erui de- ctruction of French and Belgian cit- ies and towns by the retreating Ger man hosts knowing as the enemy must that sure retrlbution will follow and that eventually Germany must pny heavily for this damage
 Coming at moment when the Ger-- man chancellor is suing for peace, this conduct by the military and navy is regarded as justifying belief that complete disorganization exists in the German government itself and that the military chiefs are acting in defiance of the wishes of the civilian members of the government.

CHEM|N-DES- DANES RIDGE
 IS BEING EVACUATED
Between Cambrai and St. Quentin the British and Americans Are Stii Chasing the Enemy, While to the South the French Are Forcing the Germans to Give Up the Great St. Gobian Forest.
(By The Associated Press. 1,


 On the wings of the necessity the Germans are slynI- eastward from their old battle positions from Douai to La Fere and northward from La Fere to the Mouse river. Their fight Is toward some maven to safety from the talons of the allied hawks which everywhere are menacing them.
 Meanwhile there have been sent broadcast further reports that Austr'a Hungary and Turkey. seeing that the trend of events spells ultimate de- feat, have informed Germany that they will accept President Wilson's peace terms. Notwithstanding the ae- vantages that are being achieved over the common enemy on the battle fronts and the peace feelers in the air President Wilson, Secretary Of State Lansing, Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, and in fact all the high of fice.s of the government are warning the American citizenry that the situa- tion still is critical and that everyone should rally 10 the support of the fourth Liberty loan.
 All along the battle front the allied troops are advancing From the south of Douai to the east of Laon, the ene- my everywhere is giving ground east ward The famous Chemin Des Danes, the ridge which the eGrmans had believed to be an insuperable bar rier to an advance northward from ssoissons, is being evacuated, while in Champagne and along the Meuse river farther northward their lines in the great converging movement which is fast driving the enemy from Bel gium and the greater portion of in- vaded France toward his own bord- CTS.
 Douai now is completely outflanlS ed by the latest operations of tne British while between Cambrai and St. Quentin the British and Americans are still chasing the enemy. To the south of St. Quentin the French over a idle front have crossed the Oise riv- CT and conjunction with the retire ment of the enemy from the Chemin- Des-Dames, are forcing the Germans to give up the great St. Gobain forest, the bastion at the bend of the Inc where it turns eastward, and also the stronghold of l4aon, the keystone or the entire southern German line.
 While from the war maps 1t would appear to the casual observer that the Germans in this bend of the elbow are likely to be cut off, it seems more probable that they will be able to use the railways and highroads leading in all directions fro Ilaon like the main branches of a spiders web and effect 6heir escape without great loss of prisoners.
 Nevertheless the retroerade move- ment here of necessity must have q strong bearing on the stability or whatever new lines the Germans may choose to stand upon, and on their still relatively strong fronts in Bel~

 As the destroyer steered toward the side of the steamer many of the men leaped too quickly and missed their reckoning and dropped between the boats. Some Of these dropped in the water, but others of them were caught and crushed to death between the

 At the Spanish embassy, which has charge of Turkish affairs, in the Unit ed States and through which any peace proposal from Constantinople un- doubtedly would be transmitted, it was said no intimation had come from Madrid that a communication Of this nature might be expected.
 Definite peace proposals by Turkey would occasion little suprise in of fetal circles here, however It was announced that Turkey was to dls- patch similar note to that sent by Germany and Austria-liungary ana -., view of the fact that none has been received, there has been 9 feeling in some quarters for several days that q very definite appeal might be forth coming soon.
 The setting up of new govern ment composed of elements less pro- German than the previous cabinet has strengthened the belief that Turkey might decide to offer peace on terms similar to those accepted by Bulgaria

CHIPS FROM THE AK

A cord of hardwood has a fuel
value equal to two-thirds of a ton
of hard coal.
Stumps should be cut as low as
possible to avoid waste and save
future trouble.
All wood large enough to be made
into stove wood should be used. Split
wood small enough so that one man
can load it on wagon.
Pine should be split smaller than
hardwood so that it may dry out
quickly. Hardwood burns fairly
we'll even when green.
In cutting original growth forests,
utilize old trees which are not fit for
lumber.
Cut small trees of the poorer spe-
cies.
Cut all dead, diseased, dead-topped
and otherwise inferior material.
The wood lot will be the better for
the removal of old trees which have
stopped making growth, and OF
SCARED trees and stunted growths.
Leave trees that are more valua-
BILE for lumber, ties, or other salable
products than they are for cordwood.
Leave your thrifty trees of the
better species below ten inches in
diameter for the future crop.
Pile wood so that air can circulate
freely through the pile

The fighting had been renewed

German wounded had begun COM

RUSSIA'S HARI-KIRI

&c. ]. Dillon in the July Yale Re-
view.)
What Germany's strenuous efforts
were unabl eto effect was accom-
plished by Russia's unexpected hara-
kiri. The bond uniting the various
nationalities civilizations, peoples
and religions of the Tsardom being
cut, the empire fell to pieces at the
feet of the Teuton invader. Some
of its ethnic elements, like the Firms
and the Ukrainians, actuated by ma
ional impotence or political simple
mindedness, donned the. Teuton livery
and became willing tools in the
hands of the kaiser's ministers. The
results of their service, if allowed to
stand, Will cut deep into the vital
interests of European nations. The
Ukraine bars Russia proper from
the Black Sea and the Mediterran-
can; Finland and the Baltic prov
inces sunder her from the Baltic
and if Germany should egg on her
Turanian agents, the Firms, to seize
and keep the port of KEN on the
White Sea, the new Murman railway
and the ice free port of Yekaterina
in Russian Lapland, nothing would
thenceforth remain of our great
Slav ally but a poor community OF
benighted rustic Marxists of no fur
ther account in the current political
history of Europe or the world. To
this mutilated entity one might aptly
restore the old designation Mus
! covy." Severed from the sea, bereft
of mineral wealth, incapable of rails
ing and maintaining powerful
army, its Interior fate would become
matter of interest only to lovers OF
the sentimental.
