KAISER BILL SEEKS
SAFETY IN CELLAR

Emperor William, Field Marshal
Duke Albrecht, of Murttemburgs and
Prince Stephan, of Schaumburg-Lipps
were in Mannheim last week when
British airmen raided the city. The
royal party, according to the Demo
crate of Geneva, was staying in the
royal palace and the Emperor and
his staff promptly took refuge in the
cellar, remaining there 20 minutes.
The palace was not hit as il Tad been
during a previous raid but bombs fell
in the vicinity. The royal party
spent last week in Alsace Lorraine,
stopping at the chief Rhine towns.
Military hospitals generally were Wis
tied and public ceremonies were
avoided. The object Of the visit, the
newspaper adds, was to appease the
unrest and fear of the population or
ing to the approach to. the frontier
of Allied armies and the con- ant
aerial bombing.

KAISER TELLS ARMY
 OF HIS PEACE OFFER
ANNOUNCES CRUMBLING OF TEU- TONIC FRONT IN MACEDONIA
 AFTER HARD STRUGGLE.

Berlin.-Emperor William issued a proclamation to the German army and navy in which after announcing that the Macedonian front had crumbled, he declared that he had decided, in accord with the allies, to again offer peace to the enemy.
 The text of the emperor's proclama- ton reads:
 For months past the enemy with enormous exertions and almost with out pause in the fighting has stormed against your lines. In weeks of strug- gles, often without repose, you have had to persevere and resist a numer- ically far superior enemy. Therein lies the greatness of the task which has been set for you and which you are fulfilling Troops of all the Ger man states are doing their part and are heroically defending the father land on foreign soil Hard is the task.
 My navy is holding it's own against the united enemy naval forces and is unwayeringly supporting the army in it's difficult struggle.
 "The eyes of those at home rest with pride and admiration on the deeds of the army and navy. I ex- press to you my thanks and the thanks of the fatherland.
 ''The collapse of the Macedonian front has occurred in the midst of the hardest struggle. In accord with our allies I have resolved once more to offer peace to the enemy, but will only extend my hand for an honora- ble peace. We owe that to the he roes who have laid down their lives for the fatherland, and we make that our duty to our children.
 Whether arms will be lowered is a question. Until then we must not slacken. We must, as hitherto, exert all our strength unwearily to hold our ground against the onslaught of our enemies.
 The hour is grave, but trusting i'll your strength and in Gods gracious help, we feel ourselves to be strong enough to defend our beloved father land. (Signed.) WILHELM"

EMILE HOLE CUT IN
 HINDENBURC LINE
ATTACKED ON FRONT BETWEEN CAMBRIA AND ST. QUENTIN
 MANY VILLAGES CAPTURED.
ENEMY TAKEN BY SURPRISE
Few Tanks Were Used, as Attack Was Planned as Night Surprise
 Battle Divided Into Three Phases
 -MoVed Forward in Heavy Ram.

London.-The Anglc-American of fensiye on a seven-mile front in the St. Quentin sector has resulted in an advance at some places of four or five miles, according to the Standard 5 correspondent. Many villages and prisoners have been captured On the right of the new advance Essigny and other villages have been taken. Many prisoners were captured.
 The battle, which began at dawn resulted in a serious defeat for the enemy.
 The British and Americans and French have advanced everywhere, smashing through the last lines of the Hinenburg system and driving the disorganized Germans before them.
 Ill some places. and espeical1y at Fremont, which appears to have fal- len to the Americans, the fighting :sl- lied troops penetrated the German lines for distance of more than three miles and still are advancing. Fremont is more than four miles
 
 three miles from Rohain.
 American troops attacked near the point where the last line of the Hin denburg system already has been smashed. Progress was made despite stiff machine gun opposition.
 Simultaneously the Third British army attacked on the front from Cam brai south along the continuation of the Masnieres- -Beaurevoir line There was frontal attack on this line and ot the same time an effort to turn j. at it's northern extremity
 The attacks of the two armies were converging operations, the general di- rection of the thrusts being northeast ward The assault was accompanied by one of the most terrific lombard ments of the war, the massed British cannon firing wheel to wheel.
 It had been necessary to assemble the assaulting waves to the east of the Hindenburg line and to get the masses of men in through the intri- cate and battered trench system in the dark. It was a task Of extraordi- nary difficulty, but it was accom- plished we'll before the zero hour.
 Comparatively few tanks were e1n- ployed. In fact, this was night sur prise, and it must have minimized alike their opportunities and the nec- essity for their assistance.
 The Anglo-American attack was launched at 2:30 o'clock in the morn ing. In the darkness of the hour of a quiet moonless night 20 miles of guns suddenly crashed forth in a hideous dissonance.
 The enemy's artillery response was weak. This confirmed the idea that the Germans steadily were withdraw ing their guns.

LEADERS IN SENATE
 OPPOSE ARMISTICE
HITCHCOCK DECLARES OFFER TO BE ABSOLUTELY A8HoRRENT
 ACCEPTANCE IMPOSSIBLE.

Washington. Germany's peace of fer was peremptorily spurned in the Senate.
 In spirited discussion of the latest enemy proposals senators participat- ing in two-hours' debate declared it an insidious attack and voiced a com mond demand for it's immediate rejec- ton. Inveighing especially against the proposal for an armistice, the speakers were unanimous in declaring that 8 rushing military victory must be & preliminary to peace negotfa- tions.
 Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the chairman of the Senate foreign rela- tions committee; Republican Leader Lodge of Massachusetts, ranking mi nority member of the committee; Sen ators Poindexter of Washington, Me Cumber of North Dakota, Pittman of Nevada, Ashurst and Smith of Arizo- na, Nelson of Minnesota and Reed of Missouri were among the speakers, representing both political parties.
 After Senator Hiteheok and others had declared an armistice impossible Senator McCumber introduced a reso- lution proposing as the first requisite to any peace negotiations absolute surrender by Germany, including dis solution of her army and navy, and pledges for complete indemnifcations. The resolution was referred to the foreign relations committee.
 Although first pointing out that Ger many's offer contemplates acceptance of President Wilson's fl peace terms, Senator Hitchcock declared that the request for an armistice is absolute ly abhorrent" to every member of the Senate. It is "unthinkable," he said, that the German and Austrian propos- aIs will be accepted, and he insisted that not only must Alsace-Lorraine be restored to France, but that, in any peace negotiations, an organic change in Germany's laws must he had so that the allies will deal with representatives of the German people.
 Declaring that an armistice would mean the loss of the war, Senator Lodge said the allies must gain a conl- plete military victory and that Ger many must be put behind the bars. :" He pointed out the danger of the peace offensive" which he predict ed last August the enemy would make, and said he did not believe President Wilson contemplates accepting any such proposal as that made by the enemy.
 Senator McCumber of North Dako- ta introduced a resolution, which was referred to the foreign relations com mittee, providing that before any ar mistice Germany must disband her army, surrender her navy, arms and munitions and agree to pay for dam ages to cities and country devastar- ed. restore Alsace-Lorraine to France, together with the penalty exacted from France in 1870.
