AUSTRIA WILLING
TO TALK PEACE
ASKS IMMEDIATE NEGOTIATIONS
FOR PEACE AND AN
ARMlSTICE.

Washington. - While Germany's
latest note to President Wilson was
delivered to the State Department
through the Swiss legation cable dis
patches from Europe brought informal
ton that the Hungarian gov
eminent has sent another message 20
the president asking that immediate
negotiations for peace and an armis-
tice be entered into without awaiting
the results of the exchanges with
Germany
The Vienna government said that
1t adheres to the point of view ex-
pressed by the. president in his last
Austro-Hungarian peoples, especially
those of the Czecho-Slovaks and Jugo-
Slavs, and requested that he begin
overtures with the allied governments
with a view to ending Immediately
hostilities on all Austria-Hungarian
fronts
The official text of the German note
did not differ materially from the I'M
official version as received by cable.
There was no official comment, but it
is known that no response will be
made at present to the note, which is
believed to have been sent to satisfy
the German people that their govern
ment is not emitting any opportunity
to continue negotiations for an armis-
tice and peace. Regarding the renew
ed assurance in the German note that
the constitutional structure of the
German government has been and IS
being changed to these lines, it is said
that the truth of this statement and
the scope of the changes already
made or planned are matters to be
dealt with in connection with peace
and not in arranging an armistice. Of
ficials show an intention to resist the
apparent intent of both German and
Austrian negotiators to continue these
two different functions in one phase
of the negotiations.
In the Austrian communication now
supposed to be on its way to Wash
ington through the medium of the
Swedish government, an effort Is
made to show that Austria has COM
piled with the presidents demand for
the recognition of the rights of the
Czecho-Slovaks and Jugo-Slavs and
other oppressed peoples of Austria. 1t
does not appear that the complete in
dependence of these people has been
guaranteed and probably sufficient as
surance must be had on that point be-
fore the Austrian proposals will be
transmitted to the entente powers for
submission to the military experts.

YANKS LIBERATE As
TUNNS IN ADVANCE
FIRST MAJOR ACTION SINCE ST.
MiHlEL PRoGRESSES-2o,oo0
PRISONERS TAKEN.

With the American Army North
west of Veroun-In its first major
operation against the Germans, con-
sldering the clearing out of the St.
Michel salient as local affair. the
American army in few days less
than month. has liberated more than
forty-five villages and advanced to
an average depth OF ten miles, free
ing los square miles of territory. In
the offensive the Americans have cap
tured more than 10000 prisoners.
The Americans attacked on a front
of twenty miles FROM the Argonne to
the Mouse and the advance has been
made in the face of almost n.sur-
nountable difficulties, due particular
~ to the nature of the ground which
is covered with hills, deep ravines
and woods. In addition the Ameri-
cans had fronting them four organ
lied system Of trenches-the linden
burg line, the Hagen position. The
Velker position. and the Kreimhilde
position. They have forced their way
through all these lines. Ahead of
them lies the Ereya position which
has been reached at one point in the
region of the Bantheville woods. The
advance has been particularly diff
cult because the Germans have stub.
bornly resisted every foot Of the way
and have used more than thirty-three
divisions on the twenty mile front.
The enemy continues to make d for
midable effort to hold this front in
order to protect his retreat lateral
line of communication running
through Hirson, Mezieres, Sedan,
Montmedy and Longuyon This line
already is threatened and should the
Germans lose It, they will lose their
main line of communication from
Germany into occupied France.
In addition to the prisoners, Gen.
Pershing's men have taken more than
1877 guns of large calibre, numerous
machine guns and anti-tank guns, a
great store of ammunition and much
war material, including locomotives
and railway cars.
Since September 26th the Ameri-
cans have fired more than 100000
shells, the number at times reaching
as high as 10000 daily. The guns
used included great number of
heavy ones, and also some captured
from the enemy
American aviato7s and anti-aircraft
guns in the period since September
~ have brought down 230 enemy ma
chimes and % enemy balloons, despite
adverse flying conditions and BAG
weather at times. Bombing airplane2
dropped more than 10000 Kilograms
of explosives on railroad centers,
troop concentrations and other points
behind enemy positions.

GAIN NEARLY FORTY MILES ON
THE ITALIAN FRONT FROM
BRENTA TO PAVE RIVER.
AMERICANS ARE AIDING
There Has Been Little Fighting On
Belgium Front Except BY Artillery
While in the Region Around
Vaienciennes.
With the American Army in


France
In the Italian theater over a front
of nearly 40 miles from the Brelta to
the middle reaches of the Piave river,
the British, French and Italian ar
mics are developing with success an
offensive against the Austro-Hunga-
rians and are swiftly driving them
from the mountain passes toward tbs
Austrian frontier and across the
plains east of the Piaye in northern
Italy. American reserves are behind
the lines prepared to aid the allies
WREN the moment arrives.
On all of the other battle fronts
the allied armies continue to be sue
cessfu.
In Belgium there has been little
fighting except by the artillery, while
in the region around valenciennes
only minor encounters are reported.
Farther south the French are con
tiruing successfully their process CT
leveling the old salient between the
territory east of st. Quentin and
Rethel. Additional progress has been
made by General Debeney's troops,
despite the violent resistance of the
Germans. On some sectors the Ger
mans are slowly retreating.
Aside from artillery and machine
gun activity there has been little
lighting on that part of the front held
by the Americans from the Mouse
river to the vicinity of Grande Pre-.
The Germans have been heavily bonl-
harding the American positions with
the Americans answering them shot
for shot. The new big guns of the
Americans are violently Smelling Ger
man positions far behind the lines,
taking under their fire towns of stra-
tegic importance and troop forma-
tons preparing to be sent as rein
forcements to important points OF the
crumbling battle line
Conians, west of Metz, and the
principal junction point of communal
cation with the big fortress on the
Moselle and Sp:ncourt and Dommary-
Baroncourt, also important railway
functions, all were under heavy fire
from the American guns throughout
Tuesday. American ayiators are con-
tinually aiding the artillerymen.
Large numbers of prisoners and nu-
merous guns have been taken by the
allied troops in the big battle that
has been in progress on the Italian
front. The allies, particularly the
British, are well across the Piave
river from where the battle line in
the mountains curves and bends
southwest toward the Adriatic.

Washington Thirty-three thou

guns and innumerable machine guns
have been captured by Italian and al
lied forces on the Italian front, said
an official dispatch today from Rome.
The Thirty-second American Infantry
Regiment has gone into action and
the fighting now extends practically
all along the course of the Pave
River.
The Austrians are resisting stub
boinly, throwing in many new divi-
sions. but have not been able to stop
the advancing forces.
Our offensive is developing farth-

however, being successful in holding

gion the troops of the First Itafian

army has been successful in beating
the enemy at Segusino and has con-
quered Mont Gesen. The Eighth army
has occupied the narrow pass of Fol

The Tenth army after having estab-
lished solid bridgeheads over the Mon
