THIS WEEK WILL
BE MOMENTOUS ONE
THE HAGUE, Oct. S.—This pro
mises to a momentous week in the
jiolitical history of Germany.
According to a statement in the
Berliner Lokal Anzoiger the Ger
man war aims and peace terms will
be included in the public debates
scheduled to open in the Kcichstug
today.
Although Ur. Michaelis has set
himself like adamant against the
government's mention of any peact
terms and any attempt to delineate
the ultimate war aims of the Cen
tral Powers, tie e ; irtics
have now the bit in tin Ir teeth and
may easily protract a discussion
i would be fraught with momentous
possibilities.
The Germans then, selves, it is
i known, notwithstanding the severi
ty of the Censorship, have forgot
ten tht military operations in anti
I cipation of more exciting politieal
’ activities

LONDON, Oct. S.—The British
papers do not interpret the Tope's
action with reference to attacks
upon unfortified cities very kindly.
It is thought somewhat significant
that this action should follow the
Front It and British prtlicy cf repri
sals when German cities Were suff
ering horribly for the tatties that
the Germans tie msc-vos had origi
nated and carried out for three
long years “without any protest
from the Vatican”.
That the reprisals have begun to j
stir Germany is taken as self evid-:
ent following the representations of
Hi; Holiness.
TEUTONS CARRY ON
INTRIGUES IN SPAIN
AMERICAN FIELD HEAD ,
QUARTERS, France, Oct. S.—In
telligence has reached lu re that the
German propagandists are super
active in Spain at the present time.
They are devoting themselves ex
clusively to developing the growth
of Anti-American sentiment.
Books, pamphlets and article.,
many reproduced from American!
papers at the time, reviving storie s
of the Spanish American war art'
being circulated by th< thousand in
every Spanish city.
The clever propagandists have ac
tually gone to tlie trouble of pick
ing out the bitterest anti-Spanish
cartoons and ,;r!ic! s that found
ready publicity during tho Spanish
War and tin a art li ing distribut
ed freely. In addition the old con
troversy of the sinking of the Maine
and Spanish responsibility is re
vived and everything is done to em
bitter feelings towards Americans.

program behind closed doors. I low

LIMA, Peru, O t. S. Now that
diplomatic relations have been sev
ered with Germany, the feeling here
is that there must eventually occur
th? greater 1 reak in the declara
tion of war between the two na
tions.
The feeling pro-war is here just
as strong as it lias been for tin rup
ture in the diplomatic relations oil

FRENCH AISNE HEIGHTS

[
I
PARIS, Oct. S.—The Germans
today launched a weighty offensive
upon the French positions on the
Aisne heights in the vicinity of
Berry au Bar. Driving down from
Guinicourt after a terrific: prtillery
bombardment the Germans tried
unsuccessfully to force theso posi
tions on tUe north and south banks
of i he river.
The entire objective seemed to
be the advanced positions of the
French, but they failed.
The Germans delivered their in
fantry attacks in the face of a
heavy rain storm, but made n <
headway.
These persistent attacks in this
section indicate that the Germans
regard the Aisnc heights as the key
to the position.
PARIS, Oct. S.—The German
artillery this afternoon on tin
eastern bank of the Meuse sudden
