All the territory now held by King Ferdi nand's men is to be evacuated: the Bulgarian army to be immediately demobilized and all means of transport inside the kingdom, even along the Danube, is to be given over into allied hands.

With the American Army Northwest of Verdun, Sept. 30, noon. (By the Associated Press) Fighting was re sumed early this morning by General Pershing's troops after a fairly quiet night. Reports from every section of the front indicate that the Germans intend to continue making a stand along the present line instead of go ing back to the Kreimheild line al though they today are making fever ish efforts to strengthen that position. Secretary Lansing: Sends Uutimarum In Reply to Germany's Protest Against Use of These Weapons For Certain Purposes. GERMANS REPORTED TO HAVE SHELLED AMERICAN HOSPITAL With the American Army Northwest of Verdun, Sept. 30, noon. (By the Associated Press.) German counter attacks against the advancing Ameri cans were quite frequent late yester day. Enemy resistance was particu larly evident in the vicinity of Exer mont and Cieges. Just before midnight it was reported that the Germans had shelled the American hospital at Bethincourt and had set it on fire. ermg tmost stren couj-ker attacks n orH one or U AMERICANS SCORE GAINS IN FACE OF HEAY RESISTANCE With the American Army Northwest of Verdun, Sept. 30. The Germans on the ' extreme 'left of the Argonne for est yesterday evening filtered through the American lines in some places with machine guns and attempted to at tack Pershing's men from behind. The advance of the Americans, conse quently, was delayed by the necessity of clearing out that- portion of the forest. The American problem in bringing up .rtillery stores, other supplies and supporting troops also has tendered to slow up the drive. ' West of the Aisne, satisfactory pro gress was made today by the French while slight advances were made also at most every other point of the line from the Aisne to the Meuse. The Germans attacked heavily at a score of pqints , but the most vigorous counter-attacks were against the hill north of Ivoiry. There they ' concen trated a heavy artillery fire and under the cover of this and the support of machine guns, dense masses of infan try were thrown forward. For a great part of the day the enemy endeavored to oreaK aown tne American aerense at this point and wave after wave of German troops were thrown back with heavy losses. The German guns shelled with high explosives the road extending toward Montfaucon. This made it more diffi cult to bring up supplies but it did not stop the work.; Toward the- eastern part " of the American sectoj the Americans were subjected to strong. machine gun fire, supplemented hy an artillery bom bardment from the north and from across the .Meuse. On Va -area tern flonlr t)u A TrveH ea ra worked their way steadily northward t continued un .r&gA xivree.j Washington, Sept. 30. The American government, in reply to Germany's threat to execute American prisoners of war found in possession of shotguns, today gave notice that if Germany carries out any such threat suitable reprisals will be taken. "If the German government should carry out its threat in a single in stance," says Secretary Lansing's re ply, "it will be the right aad duty of the United States to make such re prisals as will best protect the Ameri can forces, and notice is hereby given of the intention of the government of the United States to make such re prisals." Secretary Lansing's reply declares that the use of? shot guns is sanctioned by The Hague conventions, and that in eemparison with other weapons now used in modern warfare the shotguns used by the American troops can not be the subject of legitimate or reason able protest. So far as is known here, shotguns have been employed by American troops in France only in police work and in repelling trench raids. ' Officers say they have been very effective in-meeting enemy attacks because they fur nish a scattering fire at point blang range and the roar of them alone is very hard on the morale of the troops against whom they are used. "There is a possibility." it was said. "that shotguns have been used in mop ping up captured trenches, but they have not been extensively distributed to the troops abroad, nor do they sup plant any other weapon. They are viewed by some officers as an answer to the German gas grenades and flame throwers, use of which are specifically forbidden by the generally recognized rules Of warfare."

Half of the Chem-in-des-Dames from which the enemy is retiring, has. been captured by the French. Washington, Sept. 30. The unquali fied capitulation of Bulgaria, great as the effect Is certain to be on the whole course of the war, did not serve today to distract the attention of army of ficials for a moment from the vital moves being made in the great game on the western front. The outstanding event of the day there was the success of the rush of the Belgian and British forces in Flan ders. Observers here again saw more than a hint of weakening morale in the German ranks, due probably to the .fact " that other troops had been assigned to this sector of the front which long h,ad been quiet. . There was plain evidence also that the enemy was taken completely by surprise. To support the wavering lines, dis patches indicate that only tired out di visions from farther south were avail able. The result was shown in the as tonishing progress made by both the Belgians and General Plumer's second British army. . . Even the penetration of Cambrai and the certainty bf its complete oc cupation by the British at any mo ment was overshadowed to officers" here by the development of the northern flank of the Lille-Roubaix-Tourcoring triangle by General Plumer's troops. A strategic coup appears to have been achieved in this zone of the great bat tle which almost beyond question will drop the triangle of towns into the laps of the allied armies without the necessity of costly frontal attack. Rou lers was reported in the hands of the Belgians and Menin about to fall to the British. The advancing lines are, therefore, already east of the triangle to the north and have severed the Ger man communication system on that side and brought the remaining lines under gun fire. This little sector is the most congest ed region of the whole battle line. Sit uated in the famous coal region, the three towns almost merge into each other, while before them Armentieres stands as an outwork, protected from the south particularly by roads, rail ways and numerous canals and water lines which make the advance of troops against a stubborn foe extremely dif ficult. The maneuver executed by Marshal Foch appears to follow closely the one he has tried successfully on other fronts. Instead of hitting at the point, iuiiLinuexi on age xwo).
