Americans and British
Guns In Big Battle on
Bv Tlie Associated Press.
WITH THE ANGLO-AMERICANS AT ST. QUENTIN Oct. 9.
Heavy fighting continued throughout the nlijhtf in the Ciunbrai-St.
Qiiciltm frqut and British and Americans continued their progress
under the protection of the heavy gun fire from British artillery. The
defeated enemy was almost smothered under the great deluge of steel
nnd explosives
Large numbers of guns havo heen captured by the British and
Americans in addition to great batches of prisoners which continue to
arrive at the cages. American troops alono captured two complete
fii'ld batteries and a battery of heavy artillery. German reinforce
merits havo 'arrived but as these troops havo been engaged several
times recently their prcsonce merely adds to confusion in the enemy
ranks.
There is great confusion within the enemy line on the front of
the two British armies engagod. Eloments from not less than twenty-
i.ii'o enemy divisions have been identified. Many of these divisions
have been constantly engaged since August 8 and arc mere shadows
01 lhc old organization.
The ground over which the battle is being fought is covered
vith doad men and horses. Only a few prisoners captured had learn-
ed ot the Austro-Gcrman plea for an armistice. From all sources it
vr learned there arc no wire barriers ahead of the advance until
Valenciennes is reached

Reply to 'Germany
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON Oct. 8 The lejct of (he imielo
Germany of the Secretary of Slate through the Swed-
ish minister follows:
"Before making reply to the request of the Imper-
ial German Government and in order that it shall he
as candid and straight forward as the momentous in-
terest involved require the President of the United
States deems it necessary to he assured in advance of
the exact meaning of the Imperial Chancellor.
"Does the Imperial Chancellor declare that the Im-
perial German government accepts the terms laid
downsby the President in his address to the Congress of
the-United States on the 8th -day of-uifu3fcirafnHHKtt
in subsequent addresses and that its object in enter-
ing into discussion would be only to agree upon the
practical details of their application.
"The President feels bound to say with regard to
the suggestion of an armistice that he would not feel
at liberty to propose a cessation of arms to the govern-
mentes with wMHh the jrovernmenl of United States
is associated agaist the Central powers so long as the
armies of those powers are upon their soil. The good
faith of any discussion would manifestly depend upon
the consent of the Central Powers immediately to
withdraw their forces everywhere from invaded terri-
tory. "The President feelsj.hat he is justified in asking
whether the Imperial Chancellor is speaking merely
for the constituted authorities of the Empire who have
sofar conducted the war? He deems the answer to
these questions vital from every point of view.
"Accept sir the renewed assurance of my higli
consideration.
