It is stated that there were upwards of 100,000 Germans defend- ing this salient at the beginning of the American offensive and out of this number 1.5,000 were taken prisoners. Besides these the Americans captured over 100 guns of all calibres and hun- dreds of machine guns, and ' trenc10 mortars.

The happy 1The young man was in that town for a French and British, and the great activity in the air, would indicate that another great blow is about to be delivered by the Allies. The renewal of activties'onthe Bal- kan front has came seinewhat as a sarprise. Things have been 86 quiet in that quarter for so long and the Western front has been engaging .so much of public attention that people had almost forgotten that there was a Balkan front. This week, however, a combined French and Serbian force has captured the first and second Bun garion lines on a front of ten miles and it is claimed that this -capture is only the, beginning of important ev- ents in the Balkans. Whether the - intention is to eliminate Bulgaria from the fight or the offensive is only another indication that the Allies are now strong ertough to take the of- fensive on all fronts, it is too early yet to judge. One thing, a Balkan offesive does insure, however, is that Germany in her hour ef need wilt be 'tumble to secure any assistance from her ally, Bulgaria. The third event of interest during the least week and one of the most un - portant was the formal request to the Allies by Austria for a conference to discuss terms of peace and the German peace offer to Belgium. The terms of the latter proposals are as follows; "That Belgium shall remain neu- tral until the end of the -ever; that thereafter the entire econemic and po- litical independence of Belgium shall be reconstituted; that the pre-war commercial treaties between Germany • and Belgium, shall again be put into operation after the war for an indefin- iate period; that Belgium shall use her good offices te -secure return of the Gentian colonies; that • the Flemish question shall be considered, and the Fleinieh minority, which saided the German invadere, shall not be pena- lized. The propesal contains no word respecting _reparation or Indemnities, no admission that Gennany wrone,ed Delehen.

That the ene- my pcesee propoettle were rejected, goee without eitying. Moreover they were rejected in suet/ myrtle and with promptness by the United States on behalf of the Alli, that the Central l'ewers can make no mistake regard- ing them. It is not believed, how- ever. they will abandon their efforts iet this direction, and they are being closely watched for their next move. We are all weary of war and it was unfortunate that the Allied answer had ecr be what it was, but no other answer can be given antil Germany's aewer is broken, and that has not yet hem?. accomplished.
