(Sunday), Sept. 15.-In the St. Mihiel sector there was increased ar- -tilery and aviation activity. A counter attack launched by the enemy at daybreak near St. Hilaire was easily repulsed and a number of prisoners taken. On the left bank of the Moselle our lines have been advanced “pne to two miles and now include the towns of \ ilcey and Norroy. The normal extension of our lines beyond Jaulny resulted in the bringing in of seventy-two additional guns abandoned by the _tnemy in his hasty retreat. This brings the total number of guns | taptured to date to more than 200. | r) (St. Hilaire is three miles southwest of Fresnes and almost that dis- tamce beyond the American line as last reported by Gen. Pershing. The place is beyond the line given in the London report telling of an American advance of two to three miles on a thirty-three-mie front since Saturday | afternoon. From Norroy to St. Hilaire is twenty miles.) | The following is Gen. Pershin: report of Saturday night: We are now able to estimate the success obtained during the two previous days. The dash and vigor of our troops, and of tae valiant Frenca divisions which fought shoulder to shoulder with them, is shown by the fact that the forces attacking on both faces of tae salient | effected @ junction and secured result desired within twenty-seven hours. J Besides lberating more than 150 square miles of territory and taking 16,000 prisoners, we bave captured a mass of material. Over 100 guns of all calibres and hundreds of machine guns and trench mortars have been taken, In spite of the fact that tae enemy during bis retreat burned large stores, a partial examination of the battle- field shows that great quantities of ammunition, telegraph material, railroad material, rolling stock, clothing and equipment have been abandoned.

LONDON, Sept. 16—Foreign Ser. tary Balfour, speaking at the Hote Savoy to-day, declared his belief that the Austrian proposal cannot produce peace nor divide the Alll “There is something almost cyn'cal Austrian proposal, coming in the of Vice Chancellor von Payer,” Mr. Balfour said, “I cannot believe it is the enemy's desire to arrive at an understanding which we can possibly accept. It 1s an attempt to weaken the forces which are proving too strong for them in the field, 1 am sure it can- not produce peace, and I am just as sure it cannot divide the Allies, “When the Germans try to dress |themselvés in Preaident Wilson's clothes, or try to play @ part they think Wilson wants them to pla they are clumsy actors.” “In all the past four years Ger- has never made anything de- riously to be called a peace Mr. Balfour added. Mr, Balfouf agreed with the trian note's assertion that the whole of civilization is at @take and that prolongation of hostilities is risking the sacrifice of a great deal that is dear to everybody interested, He as- serted that certain fundamental ques- tions must be settled before discus- | sions can take place. “Until then," he said | use of irresponsible talk? many serving “what is the | “Until Germany 1s prepared to view the problems confronting us all in a very different spirit than that ani- mating her statesmen conversations are useless,” added M, Balfour, “al though I am forced to conclude that | Austria made the proposal not be- cause she expected it would, or could, be accepted, but for the purpose of di- viding the Allies and aggravating sup- posed Allied internal differences: ~ LATEST OFFICIAL REPORTS “During the night we carried out a]; WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—The War Department has issued these | "uccessful | GERMANY’S STAND DIFFERENT Aus-| FRENCH PARIB, Sept. 16.—Tho following re- port was issued by the French War Office: “Between the Oise and the Aisne t night we continued to progress, We captured Mont des Singes, with 00 prisoners, and also captured Vailly. “Army of the Kast, Sept. 14.—There was lively artillery activity along the Macedonian front.

"It could not be more clearly set forth than it was by von Payer last week that Germany intended to pay no indemnity to Belgium,” Mr. Bal- four continued. He indicated, the Foreign Secretary said, that Germany did not believe in the principle of in- demnities, and yet at the same time she was squeezing millions of dollars out of Russia, “This,” the speaker went on, for the wrongs Russia is supposed to have done Germany, How can those wrongs be compared with the devas- tation and ruin which Germany is wreaking on Russia now?" Regarding the question of colonies, cretary Balfour said: “The colonies are one question on which there is no misunde ding. Woe stand on one side and Germany on the other.” Ausiria’s invitation has been received generally with indignant repudiation. Tho note is seen by commentators as a German trick in which Austria ts made the catspaw in an endeavor to gain time to enable the German High Command to reorganize its shattered troops, The offer of peace to Belgium is regarded as a shameless insult, The Austrian proposal invites all the belligerent Governments to enter into non-binding discussions at some neutral meeting place. It states that the object of the conference would be to secure an exchange of views which would show “whether those prereqni- sites exist which would make the speedy inauguration of pence negotia- tions appear promising.” It suggests there need be no interruption of the war. Germany's peace offer to Belgium demands that in exchange for the complete evacuation of Belgium's tsr- ritory that country remain neutral until the end of the war and that she help Germany secure the return of German colonies. “The Austrian note does not bring real peace any nearer,” says the Ex- press, “Preliminary conditions to peace have been stated over and over again by the Allies, and there {s not the faintest suggestion that the Cen- tral Powers will agree to any one of these conditions, ‘They who drew the sword are scheming to save them- selves from perishing by the sword. ‘The disingenuousness of the note be- trays that it was written in Wilhelm- strasse, Berlin.” Relative to the offer of peace to Belgium the Express say: “This is another Brest-Litovsk scheme and part of the same plan for preserving the power of the Ho hengollerns.” The pacifist Daily News is the sole exception to the prevalent tone of comment. Anticipating general re- jection of the Austrian proposals, it “was “An impudent sham" is the Mail's editorial head over its comment on the note, which it describes as “an- other form of an old German trick.” ‘he German Emperor is a ventril- oquist whose voice we y hear in \inis Austrian ‘¢ am," the news- nd we hear it be- masters under Paper continues, cause the militar It is not humanity which they have lin view, but the safety of their own |skins, ‘This German trick has been disponed of in advance by President ‘I cannot honestly see in the Aus- \ Wilson's masterly addresses, ¢ We remind the enemy of Pre \dent | in indicting the note Says that responsible, sober-minded men should, nevertheless, face the proposals squarely, The paper ar- |, gues that discussions must occur sooner or later as # preliminary to peace whom Germany is bleeding are afraid, | Wilson’ comprom tolerable, As to the offer to Belgium, the Mail says it is insulting and only “offers Belgians one more scrap of paper.” words, “There can be no no halfway decision is -_—>— GERMANY DENIES PART IN NEW PEACE MOVE BUT PARIS SCOFFS Attempt to Show Austria Bound Only Herself Meets With No Credence.

Coprrigtit, 1918, by The Prem Publishing Co. (The New York Evening World.) (Special Cable Desvateh,) WITH THE AMBRICAN ARMY ON THY LORRAINE FRONT, Sept. 16—With the last of the enemy's forces rounded in @ pocket south of Vigneulles and our patrols slipping into and beyond the Boche line, Ge man artillery is countering heavily upon the advanced positions we are in process of consolidating. In the past twenty-four hours a se- ries of onslaughts designed to push our troops back from their all too close proximity to the present Boche defenses has been staged by the foe without avail, We still hold every foot of nround we have taken, A battalion commanded by Lieut Col, (deleted) has supplied patrolling groupe, which have advanced to points well beyond the German positions, and bave returned with prisoners after brisk encoyntera, Capt. William McKenna of New York, whose brother, Major Mckenna, | was killed on the Ourca, led a patrol of an entire company strong into and | beyond the Boche firing trenches, and reports the enemy still in a state of jsorganization. These men formed @ striking head for all the American forces advancing from the southern aide of the salient Thursday morn- ing. The battalion progressed faster and further than any other unit when it hurled the foe out of Maizcrals six bours after the offensive was launched, It was this same outit that was the first to cross the Oureq in July. (it was the 165th Infantry, the old fighting 69th of New York, that Grst crossed the Oureq,) Counter attacks have increased the total of our prisoners, and this has enabled us to identify seven sew ustro-Hungarian units 1 saw song of those Austrians and Magyars yesterday.
