In the Austro-Itallan theatre the Italians continue to carry
out successful patrol engagements against the Austrians and to
drop large quantities of explosives from airplanes on military
establishments behind the lines.
Notwithstanding the necessity of carrying the battle to
Crown Prince Rupprecht across uninviting ground—virtually
a morass owing to recent rains' and against the inevtable con
crete and steel redoubts and woods and shell craters teeming
with rapid-fire guns—the English, Scotch and Australasian
tioops have snatched valuable vantage points from the Ger
mans, but not without terrific opposition-
American Headquarter*, Somewhere in France, Sept. 27.
—American engineer regiments have been under fire fropn
German airmen wfao approached during the darkness drop
ping bombs and riddling-the barracks with machine gun fire.
The Americana took refuge in dugouts, not one of them
receiving a scratch. They calmly played poker until the at
tack was over.
Amsterdam, Sept. 27.—Coincident with the opening of
' Reichstag the Pan-Germanists have opened a vigorous
. Impai.Ti for peace with annexations and indemnities.
They are supported by the liberals but are strongly op
posed by the Socialists and Centralists.
The Von Tirpitz group will seek to prevent any debate
on peace whatever.
There is great interest in the Government's offer to re-
81 or Belgium under certain restrictions.
London, Sept 26.^-Six persons were killed and fifteen
wounded in last night’s air raid.
The raid was a failure from a military stand point ac
cording to the announcement of the Admiralty this morning.
Only two of the enemy planes succeeded in fighting their way
past the coast defenses-
Buenos Ayres, S. A.. Sept. 26.—The action of the Chamber
of Deputies in voting for a break with Germany was received
with keen approval throughout the republic today.
Whether the break will be followed by declaration of war
is still uncertain.
