Copenhagen, Oct. 7. —Prince Max
imilian of Baden, the new German im
perial chancellor, announced in the
reichstag that he had sent a note
through the Swiss government to Pres
ident Wilson, in which he had request
ed Mr. Wilson to take up the question
of bringing about peace and to com
municate with the other belligerents
regarding the subject.
The chancellor told the reichstag he
had addressed his note to the Presi
dent oMhe United States because Mr.
Wilson, In his message to Congress on
Jan. 8, 1918, and in his later procla
mations, particularly his New York
speech on Sept. 27, had proposed a
program for a general peace which
Germany, and her allies could accept
as a basis for negotiation.
Chancellor Accepts Wilson’s Terms.
Amsterdam, Oct. 7. —The text of the
note forwarded by the imperial Ger
mun chancellor, Prince Maximilian, to
| President Wilson through the Swiss
government follows: "The German
government requests the President of
! tlie United States to take in hand the
I restoration of peace, acquaint all the
j belligerent stales of this request and
| invite them to send plenipotentiaries
I for the purpose of opening negotla
| tions. It accepts the program set forth
! by the President of the United States
' in his message to Congress on Jan. 8
| and in his later pronouncements, es
; peclally his speech of Sept. 27, as a
I basis for peace negotiations.
I "With a view’ to avoiding further
bloodshed the German government
requests the immediate conclusion of
an armistice on land and water and
In the air."
It Is announced that Turkey will
, take a similar step.
Kaiser admits Macedonian Rout.
! Berlin. —Emperor William issued a
; proclamation to the German army anti

Austro-Hungary Wants “Peace.”
Paris.—The Austro-Hungarian min
ister at Stockholm has been charged
to request the Swedish government to
transmit, to President Wilson a pro
posal to conclude immediately with
him and his allies a general armistice
and to start without delay negotia
tions for peace.
No Peace Except On Surrender.
Washington.—An Austrian appeal
for an armistice for discussion of
peace on President Wilson’s own
terms is regarded here as the logicul
sequel of the President’s recent sum
mary rejection of the proposal that
hostilities be suspended for secret
and nonbinding peace discussions.
What the American government's
answer to such au appeal would be is
! indicated by the statement author
ized when the Austro-Hungarian for
eign minister complained that his ac
; ceptance of President Wilsons’ princi- j
I pies had not been noticed—that peace i
j could not be talked of upon any
I terms so long as Germany and Aus- '
tria occupied a single foot of con |
quered territory.
There is no disposition to believe, j
; however, that an early end of the war j
is in sight, in spite of the fact that
the Germans are known to be desper
ately anxious to halt by diplomacy the
: steady advance of their enemies to
i ward the German border,
j The Washington government, it was
j made plain, would not b,e stampeded
either by reports nor by invitation to
! cense hostilities, should one be of
fered from the imperial German gov
ernment.

Western New«p»per Union News Service.
Washington.—lmmediate rejection
of the German and Austrian proposal
for an armistice and peace negotia
tions was demanded in the Senate
Monday by leaders voicing the com
mon sentiment of the membership.
There was no dissent from the view
that an armistice would defeat all that
America and the allies have been
fighting for, and every speaker dur
ing two hours of a spirited session de
voted entirely to discussion of the en
emy’s latest move joined in declaring
that only through military victory
could the cause of the allies and hu
manity be Won. The suggestion of
such a step was scornfully denounced
as an insidious attack of a losing en
emy.

chairman of the Senate foreign rela
tions committee; Republican Leader
Lodge of Massachusetts, ranking mi
nority leader of the committee; Sen
ators Poindexter of Washington, Me-

Washngton, Oct. 8. —President Wil
son will reject the Teutonic plea for a
compromise peace and he will do so
as spokesman not only of the United
States, but of ail the other nations
fighting the central powers. As the
result of exchanges of opinion be
tween the President and the heads of
the allied governments now in pro
gress. Germany will be informed,
it is believed, that peace can be
obtained only by unconditional sur
render, and that an armistice can be
granted only upon the basis of the
evacuatidh of Belgium, France and all
other invaded territory.
The troops of French General Ber
t helot have delivered a successful
blow against the Germans northwest
of Rheims, which adds materially to
the menace that is hanging over the
German front from the North sea to
the Swiss border. This was the cap
ture of Berry-Au-Sac on the north side
of the Aisne, about ten and a hair
miles northwest of Rheims and only
a scant five miles from the eastern
end of the famous Chemin des Dames
ridge at Craonne. A further advance
northward across the railroad not
alone will put the great stronghold of
Laon in a pocket, but also will out
flank Neufchatel. another enemy
stronghold in the west.
The Turks also have suffered a se
rious blow in the loss to the French
of Beirut, capital of the Vilayet, Syria.
The occupation of this seaport on the
Mediterranean by a French naval divi
sion gives the allies a base for the
landing of men who can operate in all
directions against the Turks over the
roads radiating from it.
Although peace talk still is in the
air, there is no peace for the German
Find Austro-Hungarian armies in the
field.
Marshal Foch’s armies are proceed
ing without pause in their task of
clearing Belgium and France of the
invader, and they are continuing to
meet with great successes.
Likewise, in Serbia and Albania the
Serbs and Italians are fast reclaim
ing enemy occupied territory, while, at
last reposts, the British General Al
lenby in Palestine still was hard after
the retreating Turks.
While further good gains have been
made by the British east of Arras,
where the operations have in view the
capture of the highly important town
of Douai, and other advances have
been recorded between Cambrai and
St. Quentin, chief interest for the pres
ent centers in the fighting in Cham
pagne, and between the Argonne for
est and the Meuse, while the French
and Americans are driving the enemy
steadily northward, despite great re
sisiance on positions of strategic
value.
In the latest fighting the Americans
drov,e the Germans out of Chatel Che
i hery, northwest of Apromont, and ob
i tained command of the heights west
| the Aire. The latest German offi-
I cial communication reports that the
Americans Monday evening began a
i new attack in this region.
Taken altogether, the entire south-
I ern front of the Germans seems to be
in a rather serious situation from La
| Fere to the north of Verdun. Laon.
! the great storehouse of the Germans
1 northeastof Soissons, is reported to
jbe on fire, indicating the possibility
'of an early falling back; the Chemin
| des Dames defenses are outflanked at
j both ends; Rheims has been restored
and the Germans pushed back more
than ten miles north of it, w,ye east
ward General Gouraud's arn.fr*s and
the American First army are brilliant
ly carrying out their part of the groat
converging movement that seemipgly
at no far distant date will force the
enemy materially to readjust his line.
A further indication of the troublous
times in the German army is the re
port that Field Marshal von Hinden
burg has resigned after a stormy in
terview with Emperor William during
which Von Hindenburg informed the
emperor that a German retreat on a
large scale was necessary.
