I sat under a tree with a good looking man who seemed disgruntled about something. " 'Don't you like the job you've got?' I asked. "'I certainly do not. I'm an ex pert horseman, been in the cavalry, in fact, and here I am stuck away in the military police. I want to get in the cavalry where I can do some thing.' " " 'But you're safer where you are than you would be in the cavalry, aren't you?' " "Safer? Yes. But who wants to be safe? I came over here to fight.

GERMANY OFFERS BELGIUM PEACE; AUSTRIA PLEADS Wants All Powers to With draw Their Troops From Murman Territory London, Sept.. 16. —The German government has made a peace offer to Belgium, it is learned here to-day. It also is understood that the gov ernment has received the Austro- Hungarian peace note and also the proposal previously referred to, that all the powers shouldAvithdraw their troops from the Murman territory. In extending an invitation to all the belligerent governments to enter into nen-binding discussions at some neutral place the Austro- Hungarlan government states that the object, of the conference would be to secure an exchange of views which would show "whether those prerequisites exist which would make the speedy inauguration of peace ne gotiations appear promising." The Austrian proposal suggests that there be no interruption of the war, and that the "discussions would go only so far as is considered by the participants to offer prospects of success." It is proposed that all the belligerents send delegates to a "con fidential and unbinding discussion on the basic principles for the conclu sion of peace, in a -place in a neu tral country and at a near date, that would yet have to be agreed upon. The delegates, it is proposed, "would be charged to make known to one another the conception of their governments regarding those principles and to receive analogous communications, as well as to re quest and give frank and candid ex planations on all those points which need to be precisely defined." The Austrian proposal is an nounced in an official communication telegraphed here from Vienna, in which the government announces that a note embodying its sugges tions had been addressed to the vari ous belligerent powers, and that the Holy See had been apprised of the proposal in a special note. The gov ernments of the neutral states also are said to-have been made ac quainted with the proposal. The. terms of Germany's peace proposal to Belgium are as follows: 1 That Belgium shall remain neil tral until the end of the war. That thereafter the entire eco nomic and political independence of Belgium shall be reconstituted. That the prewar commercial treaties between Germany and Bel gium shall again be put into opera tion after the war for an indefinite period. That Belgium shall use her good offices to secure the return of the German colonies. That the Flemish question shall be considered, and the Flemish mi nority. which aided the German in vaders, shall not be penalized. The proposal contains no word re specting reparation or indemnities. "Austria again is Germany's cat's paw," was the comment generally heard in London to-day Vhen the news of Austria's invitation to the belligerents, "to confidential non binding discussions at a neutral cen ter" became public. It was not con sidered surprising that Austria should-make a move to secure peace, for Vienna, since the early days of September, has been the scene of many conferences of the statesmen of the Central Powers and the Teu tonic allied monarchs. Austria's peace note was handed to the Entente representatives at Berne, Switzerland, at 1 o'clock Sat urday afternoon, according to the Vossische Zeitung, of Berlin. The note was simultaneously presented at Berlin, Sofia and Constantinople and was brought to the knowledge of neutral powers. While Austria's proposal had not reached Washington in official form last night, it is expected hourly through some neutral —possibly Sweden—and in it is recognized the long heralded peace offensive upon which Germany is counting to arouse enough sentiment for peace among the people of the Allied countries to compel an end of the war on terms which substantially would preserve the Prussian conquest. The Allied leaders recognize it as an effort by Germany to obtain the best terms possible. There will be no round table con ference, no sounding out process, such as Germany proposes, and which she hopes will give opportun ity to deal with her enemies sepa rately. If any reply at all is made it will tie after an exchange of views be tween the United States and the oth er co-belligerents, so that a reply for all may be made in one. On every side, among American officials and Allied diplomats, it seems agreed that the only ground on which Ger many may have a conference is the acceptance of the principles laid down by President Wilson, and which have been accepted by all the Allies as their watchword. AUSTRIA ACTS FOR KAISER IN OFFER [Continued from First Page.] ized as a German ruse to obtain the best possible terms before an Allied victory could impose the most se vere punishment upon her. The proposal as viewed by offi cials, it was reiterated, does not con tain a single basis upon which the Entente powers and the United States would be willing to meet the authors of the plea. In most circles it was held that the putting forth of the proposal at this time was but an ad mission of the growing weakness of the Central Powers. If a reply is made it was con sidered likely that the Allies would make a joint dnswer after an ex change of views. Paris Recognizes Hun Plot in Proposal Paris, Sept. 16.—The Austrian pro posal for a conference of the bellig erents was not much of a surprise in Parisian political centers, where it is considered to be a consequence of the recent military successes of the Allies. The general impression is that the new peace offensive cannot be fruitful. Sunday, the 15th, Last Day For the Straw Hat Few straw hats were seen on the streets to-day. In addition to the fear of having them smashed the threatening aspects of Jupiter Plu vlu's caused the loverA of the light head cover, to hide them for the day. This year the majority of men, instead of consigning their straw hats to the. scrap heap have put them away for use next summer. AMERICANS IN DARING MOVE IN LORRAINE AREA Take Les Eparges, Key to the Woevre Plain, From Germans With the American Army In Lor raine, Sept. 16—The performance of the Americans stationed on the west ern side of the St. Mihlel salient, with the assistance of the French, consti tutes one of the most brilliant pages of American history thus far in the great struggle. It was this unit which accomplish ed two of the most notable strategic moves of the offensive. The first was the taking of Lcs Eparges hill which had cost the French nlkny casualties in the last four years. The second was the daring march of an American regiment at night through woods in fested with Germans to Vigneulles, there to effect a laiuson with troops working from the eastward. In carrying out these two moves the allies encountered the stiffest op position of the offensive. The Ger mans cherished Les Eparges because they knew it was the key to the Woevre plain. They fought desper ately to hold It and counterattacked repeatedly after they had been eject ed. Slmilarily the Germans knew the dire results they would suffer if they permitted the Americans to meet at Vigneulles and In some cases fought like demons to prevent such a ca lamity. The Americans, neverthe less, marched steadily onward through the night with fixed bay onets, killing or making prisoners all the Teutons who opposed them. They took the prisoners ahead with them for they were too busy to send them back. Among the prisoners captured were several hundred from two Austrian divisions who were cut oft when the Americans advanced to the attack from the behind after the Germans had broken. They were bitter against the Germans, who, they said, had given way before the Americans, al lowing them to be surrounded, and they had no chance to fight. .lie advance of the victqrious first army continued yesterday but on a restricted front near the Moselle river. There was little opposition on the whole. In the edge of a wood where the Germans had concentrated there was some smarting machine gun resist ance offered, but a smashing artil lery fire silenced the enemy. A few additional prisoners were taken. The Germans gave further evidence yesterday that they intended to re sist on that part of the Hindenburg line running through this sector. A detachment was digging in about Dommartin (four and a half miles north of Thiaucourt), while between Lachaussee (two and a half miles northwest of Dommartin) and Dom martin squad trenches had been es tablished. German detachments were also in the woods above Woel, (four miles north of Hatonville). The German airplanes were un usually active Saturday night, but the defensive batteries drove them off be fore they had done great damage. Allied airplanes flew over the Ger man positions, dropping tons of bombs in the back areas. New Trenches Built Fronj various sectors new wire has been strung In enormous quantities and in big stretches far to the rear and in front of the old trenches, which have been brought up-to-date and are supported by new concrete dugouts at intervals of about a hun dred yards, and in some cases at smaller intervals. The aviators who reported these conditions returned not only with verbal statements of what they saw, but with photographs showing well equipped defenses. The big iron mines near Briey, an important industrial nerve center of the German military v machine, are jeopardized, and even Metz, one of the most strongly fortified points be hind the enemy lines, is menaced. It Is not expected that any immediate struggle for its possession will take place, hut the success which attended the first big American operations ha undoubtedly brought the Germans face to face with more serious condi tions cn this part of the "front than for the past four years. The clearing up of the woods and ravines was the most Important part of the work carried out by the Amer ican troops Saturday. Where the barrage had caught the enemy away from the shelter of dugouts and trenches piles of dead were encount ered by the scout patrols and in many places additional supplies of ordnance and ammunition were discovered. An American airplane observer, Horace Lake, from Washington, D. C., accounted for four Germans early Saturday back of the enemy lines. His pilot, Bertram Niedecker, brought the plane at one point within a few feet of the ground. The pair then discovered that they were the target for a Sharp fire from four of the enemy in a shell hole. The observer quickly wiped out the quartet, how ever, with his machine gun.

Ue McNeil's Pain Exterminator— AH PERSHING ARMY GOES FORWARD; METZGUNS ROAR American Troops Advance in Big Drive on Lorraine Front ' London, Sept. 16. —General Per shing's afrmy, is making fine pro gress. It has advanced from two to three miles on u thirty-three-mile front. The fortress guns of Metz have come into action against it. The enemy appears to be with drawing to some further line which will protect thp railway communica. tions in the vicinity of Metz. which ,at present are under the long range fire of the Americans. American patrols are advancing at various points a couple of miles be yond the general advance. The American line at noon yester day ran through Norroy, on the Moselle, Haumont, Doncourt and to Abaucourt, on the old line. The advance by the French on Saturday seems to haye been in the nature of several local pushes, not a big general forward move. The enemy has been reacting very vio lently on the French front. He made several counterattacks and althaugh he has not recovered any of his lost ground he is holding up the French somewhat. The British yesterday were re porte dto hav§ captured the vilage of Maisseny, northwest of St. Quen tin. It has heen discovered that, there were six German divisions- operat ing in the St. Mihiel salient. That would give a total strength of sixty thousand men, or a rifle strength of 36,000. The Germans had broken up for them two more divisions .in this action, thus . reducing their strength Jn the west to 191 divisions, plus four Austrian divisions and some dismounted cavalry. Loaned Woman Diamond Ring, He Tells the Court Charges of martail infidelity were aired in Courtroom No. 1 to-day be fore President Judge George Kunkel when Charles Lehman, 260 Herr street, was called upon to defend a non-support suit lodged against him by his wife, Mrs. Delia Lehman. Lehman was accused of taking other women out in his .automobile and giving one of them a diamond ring. He admitted he had been out several times with one woman and had "loaned" her his diamond ring. He then produced a letter which he said he found in his wife's trunk and which was addressed to her in her maiden name. The letter, however, made no startling disclosures and Judge Kunkel said that tt meant nothing in the case' as Mrs. Lehman made no attempt to conceal it. Lehman was then questioned at length about his actions. It was brought out that he had not sup ported his wife for four years. An effort was made to have the case con tinued because of his poor health, but Judge Kunkel ordered him to pay his wife $5 a week beginning October 1. Bail furnished by Harfiy A. Cole stock, also wanted for nonsupport, was forfeited when he did not appear. Counsel stated he had obtained a di vorce in Michigan from his wife who was suing for support, and that he came to Pittsburgh later and remar ried. The non-support suit against Elmer Keck, for maintenance of a grandchild, was dismissed by agree ment of the parties. New Registrars Are Named by Commissioners Although A. Ramsey S.

Starkey, general manager of the Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bending Works this morning, that the fire in the quench ing oil reservoir which burned about 70,000 gallons of oil last night caused a loss of nearly $lO,OOO. The con tents of the reservoir was all that the fire destroyed; no buildings were burned. Sortie telephone wires were burned in the blaze, as the flames from the burning oil rose high into the air. These wires have been repaired. The reservoir, which is fireproof, was not damaged, and work there is progress ing as usual to-day. The new steel forging plant, erect ed when the old wooden building was destroyed by fire about nine months ago. was not damaged, as it is of fireproof construction. As it is rjght next to the reservoir, only its steel construction saved the company from experiencing what might have been" a disastrous Are. Workmen giving the hot steel used In the plants' products the heat treat ments caused the fire when they worked the treatment too fast, Mr. Starkey reported. Very hot steel Is cooled with the quenching oil and then drawn. When the hot steel was worked ipto the oil too fast, the liquid caught fire. None of the workmen was injured. The fire occurred about 11.45 last night. Every Are company in the central district answered the alarm, although they all were not needed to quench the blaze. Five streams were playing on the flaming oil reservoir soon after the alarm. The Pine Bending Company's pri vate fire department had done effec tive work with chemicals before the city fire department arrived. The sirens and whistles of the plants began to sound the alarm when the tire was discovered. Many resi dents of the city, thinking It was the beginning of the celebration of an other American victory, flocked down town. • Agricultural Adviser For Appeal Draft Board A. B.

STROUSE Valley Railways Hit All Along Line The Valley Hallways Company was attacked pretty nearly all along the line to-day by S. T. Moore, a civil engineer of New Cumberland, in a complaint tiled with the Public Ser vice Commission to-day. He changed that the company did not maintain good terminal facilities especially. The Harrisburg terminal arrange ments he said were such that pas sengers tramped over each other in getting on and off cars and that the people were led to believe when a property was bought some time ago that the trouble would be remedied. At New Cumberland he says the same crowded condition prevails and people have been arrested by State police without cost to the company. Car names are declared indistinct and cars on the New Cumberland line are said to be so overcrowded that people ride on fenders and that from 100 to 140 fares are rung up. He also makes the accusation that the track is not well kept up and is rough; that the travel is very heavy and no transfers are given. The waits at Green House switch are declared to be annoying, wages of the men so low that additional fares are not justitied. Mr. Moore winds up the broadside by the assertion that the mails at New Cumberland have increased very much and the- business of the com pany must have of necessity followed suit. The document will be sent to the company for an answer within ten days.

MARKET IGNORES NEW PEACE MOVE General Sentiment Reflects Opinion That Allies Antag onize Kaiser's Drive By Associated Press New York, Sept. 16.—Austria's peace proposal was virtually Ignored by Wall Street, as interpreted by the opening quotations of the stock mar ket to-day. Standard issues and in vestment shares were steady. U. S. Steel opened unchanged to quarter of a point off. The general sentiment appeared to reflect opinion that the political attitude of Washington and London was antagonistic to the peace drive. A subsequent sharp break In American Sumatra Tobacco, which declined 5 1-2 points, and a loss of 2-12 points in U. S. Alcohol, caused the market to yield a fraction in sympathy.
