“The United States has always
taken the lead in any movement for
good that comes out of this war, The
United States today stands firmly for
peace—bhut it must be a real peace, a
peace which will assure to all of the
peoples of the world that there never
again can be ‘another * war started
'through the whim of outrageous au
| tocracies. Therefore, the President
Is carefully weighing his words.
“Far more depends on this reply
than most people realize. There must
be no ‘made-in-Germany’ peace, of
course. But the President may be de
’pended on not to shut the door
against the lasting peace that must
follow this war.”
Officials also commented on the
apparent effort of the Austro-Hunga
rian leade s to make it appear that
the present peace move was not
| forced .by military necessity. The
Vienna version that the peace offer
was “the last link of the 1916 policy”
caused mueh amusement here. when
It was contrasted with the address of
Count Tisza at the reform congress
at Budapest, when he huldlx* declared
that “Bulgaria's treachery®and the
situation on the western front led us
to decide, together with Germany, to
unde. take the peace step.” Officials
pointed out that this indicated rather
conclusively that the Austrian lead
ers are badly divided at the present
time,
All Against Peace.
The oné& outstanding fcature of the
entire exchange has been the una
nimity with which the entire United
States accepted, from the moment it
was ‘known that a new peace offer
was coming, the view that it would
be rejected. One year ago, even six
months ago, there was always in evi
dence a healthy minority throughout
the country who, when peace was
suggested, came to the front with
openly expressed hopes that a way
out had been found. Today all this
is changed. For 72 hours telegrams
and letters have been pouring in on
the leaders of official life and to the
White House and State Department,
All are couched in the same general
language. They demand that the war
continue until Germany's military
power is crushed, and the great ma
jority demand that the fighting con
tinue until Germany shall surrender
unconditionally.
Many of the messages received urge
the President to demand’a change in
the governments 0f ‘Germany and
Austria-Hunga-y. Others, many of
which reached the Senate and House
leaders, favored complete indemnifi
cations for all peoples who have suf
fered from Germany’s ruthless policy
f destruetion. Not a single message
received in official quarters carried
the slightest sentiment in favor of
accepting the Teutonic suggestions.
The reply will go to Turkey as well
as to Geemany and Austria-Hungary,
inasmuch as the Sultan's Government
is reported to have joined in the peace
overtures.

Cable Editor of the i. N. S.
American and British troops began a

cle Ficld Marshal Haig reported that
satisfactory progress was made in the
inftial onset. The Anglo-Amevicans
are striking in the direction of the two
German stronghoids at Le Catean and
Bohain.
Advances were made also on two
other fronts on the western battlefield.
The French gained over a mile of ad
ditional territory, taking two more
villages, wlile the Americans, pushing
northward along the Meuse River. have
reached the outskirts of Bricuelles
sur-Meuse.
Americans are taking part in all
tl\:ee of the drives that were under
way today, attacking with the Brit
ish on the Cambrai-St. Quentin front;
with the French in Champagne, and
batween the Argonne forest and the
Mecuse River.
Powerful German counter attacks
were delivered against the Americans,
but all were broken up. At the few
points where the Germans ‘succeeded
in getting into American positions the
boches were either killed in hand-to
hand fighting or taken prisoners.
