The Associated Press this morning
pave the following summary of the
Wl news:
Overshadowing in interest even
Marshal Foch's hammer blows against
the harried Germans, is the "teutonic
bid for peace made through the im
perial government of Austria-Hungary.
The formal plea of Emperor Charles
to the belligerents comes as the first
sensational move in the "peace offen
sive" which has been expected since j
the German arms began to stagger
back from the fierce thrusts of the
British, French and Americans.
Washington and the allied capitals
haled the call for a conference on
neutral soil as another German ruse
to get better terms than they might
expect when the war has been carried
to the Rhine. They were convinced
that Austria, whose people have long
been war weary , has been called upon
ta bear the onus of making peace
overtures and thus save the face of
Germany.
Not only in Washington, but in Lon
don and Paris, pacifists found cold
comfort, one of the governments in
volved was inclined to take seriously
the request that delegates be sent to
such a conference as that proposed
by the Austrian ruler. It was pointed
out that the United States and En
tente Allies have made their peace
aims so clear tnere can De no mista
ing.
The assertion that the central now
ers leave it in no doubt that they are
waurine a "war of defense far the in
tegrity and security of their terri
tories," was greeted with added skep-
ticism in the face of the Washington
disclosures unmasking completely the
intrigue which has wrecked Russia.
Publication of documents proving be
yond all question that Germany had
waited only for a plausible pretext
to plunge the world into war. cast a
sinister shadow over the benevolent
protestations of Emperor William's
closest ally.
It was accompanied also by the an
nouncement that a German subma
rine had sunk th" British steamship
Galway Castle with the loss of 189
lives. Ninety of those who perished

Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Rozier (Lumberton, R. 2), Sept. 13.
Farmers in this section are very
busy trying to get their cotton picked
and there is not an idle moment
among the laborers. There is not, as
much cotton made this year as was
anticipated at first, on account of the
recent dry weather in this and ad
joining sections. The price of cotton
is right good as it should be, for we
think the merchant should pay the
farmer as much for cotton in propor
tion as the farmer has to pay him for
the goods he sells.
We see that the bad bridges we
spoke of in our last news item has
been fixed which is
ing address made to us before our
Red Cross chapter was organized. All
who have heard Mrs. Webb realize
what a treat was in store for those
present.
The crowd listened intently to her
earnest and touching appeal to the
ladies to do their part for "the boys
who are in service. She impressed
on al the importance of much and
continued work in the sewing room
and at the knitting in order to keep
our. men, who are going to the front
by the millions, comfortably supplied
with the necessary articles. She
plead with each one to use her talent,
even though it be only one; in zealous
and faithful service for heir country.
She said that a few cobwebs and
some dust in the home mattered little
in these - days of big things, if each
one was making her sacrifice and do
ing her best to help with ''the Red
Cross work and to win the war. M
we fail to make these sacrifices and
to do our reasonable portion talis great
cause, we should not complain when
called slackers.
Mrs. Webb last told us much of
the canteen work in which jdie is en
gaged and related many incidents of
where boys on the way had been
cheered and cared for by these no!ble
women. 1 '
After singing the Star Spangled
Banner, the meeting was dismissed
after which a short informal reception
was held. Sandwiehes and punch were
served.

cation, will be opened again next

The Associated Press Saturday gave
the following summary:
From Hattonvilfe, on the north,
across the salient eastward to Pagny,
the Americans have closed the mouth

by their fast advance all the enemy

of Thursday morning heralded the ap
proach of the offensive.
In addition, along the eastern side
of the heights north of Kattonville
the Americans have debouched - from
the hill region and are astride the rail
