I AMERICA OFFERS -SANCTUARY-
AMERICA OFFERS SANCTUARY AMERICAN AMBASSADOR SEEKS TO SAVE ARMENIANS The massacre of the Armenians, 800,000 of whom liave been slaughtered by the Tiirl-s, with the knowledge of German consuls, has aroused the indignation of the world. The Daily Chromcle" learns from an authority on Near Eastern affairs who has his information direct from Constantinople, via Sofia, that an offer to transport to America the whole of the Armeniaiis now being driven from their hornet; by the Titrkr. has been made to the Porte by the American Ambassa- dor, Mr. Henry Morgenthau. Horrified by the terrible maseacres and cruelties which accompanied the removal of the Armenians from their homes and by his helplessness to assist them through the usual channels, the Ambassador offered to make himself personally re- sponsible for a million dollars and to find other men in the United States to raise another four millions—a million sterling in all—the money to be spent in emigrat- ing the remaining Armenians to America. Whether this offer has been accepted or rejected by the Turkish authorities is not yet known. The probability is that it is still being considered.

WRECKING THE RAILWAYS
WRECKING THE RAILWAYS BRITISH SUCCESS sm JOHN FRENCH REPORTS SEVERE FIGHTING. I GAINS ALL RETAINED Press Bureau, Friday, 10.50 p.m.—The following despatch has been received from Field-Marshal Sir John French:— October 1st. 9.18 p.m. On the 29tli the enemy made several a tacks on (.ur position north-we.st (;tf Hulluch. Severe fighting continued all day, with the result that we maintained all our positions except on the extreme left., where the enemy gained about 150 yards of trench. Our ]>osition has been firmly consoli- dated. Hostile counter-attacks have now weakened. On the afternoon of the 29th. near Hooge, the enemy fired a mine under our trenches south of the Menin road, gain- ing a footing in our front line. Counter- attacks delivered on the 30th recovered all but a small portion of the trench lost. To-day there has been no change in the situation on our front. During the last seven days our aircraft have very active—17 air combats are reported, in only one of which was tha British machine worsted. A German machine was brought down inside our lines yesterday. Attacks have been made on the railway in the hostile area. The main lines are known to have been damaged in 15 differ- ent places. Five, and probably six, trains were partially wrecked, and the locomo- tive sheds at Valenciennes were set on fi rf. Considerable interference has thus been caused to the German railway organisa- tion I FRENCH OFFICIAL. Paris, Friday, 11 p.m.—To-night's official communique says:— Sonic fresh progress hns ben made in the southern part of the Bois de Giv- enchy, to the east of Souchez. We cap- tured 61 prisoners which belonged to the Guards, and released some French, who bad Iwf-n in the hands of the Germani; since Sept. 29tli. In Champagne a coup de main between Auberive and l'Epine de Vederrange en-1 a bled us to capture from the enemy mOle machine guns and about 30 prisoners. The Germans dirccred against some 'f lonr positions an interim"tent '( ?.b ,I iiacnr, employing tea shells. Our hat- Nteries effectively replied. A violent hombardment of our trenches in the Argonne to tho nnrl h of La Houyette was effectively stopped by i he fire of our bomb-throwers on the Ger- man trenches. Shells were thrown at long range on Verdun and Nomeny by enemy batteries, which our artillery countered. On <iur side we cannonaded at long range. some trains in the railway station of Vigneuilles lei; Hatton Chatel, causing two very violent explosions. In the Vosges and the environs of Violu a demonstration by the enemy hy gun and rifle fire was not followed by an infantry attack. Our dirigible Alsace bombarded during the night of September 30th the junction of Aniadne-Lycquy, the station of Ap- pigny, and the station of Vouziers. It was fired at all along its route, par- ticularly at Vouziers, where it was sur- rounded by a curtain of incendiary shells. The airship returned safetlv to its station after fulfilling its mission. It was struck by some fragments of shells, which did no real damage. GERMAN COMMUNIQUE. Amsterdam, Friday.—To-day's German official communique says.— Enemy monitors unsuccessfully bom- barded the environs of Lombaertzvde and I Middelkerke. The British did not attempt a new at- tack yepterd?y. Our counter-attacks north of Loos, though severely opposed by the enemy, made further progress. We captured two officers and some other pris- I oners and one bomb inoriar. I East, of Souchez and north of Neuville French attempt* to gain ground failed. In Champagne an enemy attack with strong forces east of Auberive failed. All the French attacks in the district north- west of Massiges, undertaken by detach- ments of seven different divisions, were also unsuccessful. The numlier of pris- ones captured till now in the attacks in Champagne has increased to 104 officers and 7.019 men. Successful mine explosions damaged the French near VanfJlloíz. French airmen bombarded IIenin and Leiterard, killing eight French civilians. We suffered no losses.

THE GREAT PUSH
THE GREAT PUSH INCREASING TENSION AMONG GERMANS IN BElCIUM. WEATHER HINBERS TRANSPORT Rotterdam, Friday. Further informa- tion which has reached here from Bel- gium during the last twenty-four hours provides an interesting picture of what is going on in the invaded country at the present moment and of how severely the Germans have been hit by the Allies' offensive. Every form in Belgium has been a ffec- ted by the gTP:1 n-o, for from every on I of them the t'r t..i. ha.t- been rushing j j troops and supplies into the gap to pre- vent the line irom crashing in under the strain. 1 Amongst the Germans thme is an in-I- creasing- t?n< -n throughout Belgium. Men han lw n ?crapod together from every little gtrrison. and depots havc been emptied. Supplies of new artillery have been drawn on and hurried to the 1 front. Frontier guard s too have been sent to the West, and men drafted into the j east of Belgian for a much-needed rest < have now been left on guard, in many places for three days without relief. The bad weather is hindering road transport, but lias not interfered with 1 rail transport, for during the week-end i and the early days of this week trains were dashing up ?o eastern Bel,-i??. and going away full of supplies. Motors were similarly trying to get material through by road, every German showing ] feverish anxie; The depots at St. Nicholas, near Antwerp, and neighbour- ( ing towns were practically emptied.

TOWN CARRIED BY ASSAULT,, Ii THE EASTERN CAMPAIGN ¡ GERMANS BREAK AND FLEE IN DISORDER. I RUSSIANS DO WELL  RUSSIANS DO WELL I ——— —The nulitar.n c in the light of the latest dispatches, are of opinion that the great German thrust to the east of Svcntsiany (north-east of Vilnai may be considered at an end, and the enemy is being forced back towards the Dvinsk-Vilna railway. The Russian., have straightened out their front to the south of Dvinsk and to the west of Vileika, and, in general, the enemy's offensive from Riga to the Pinsk I region has beton arrested. It is pointed out with satisfaction that the enemy, although greatly reinforced, is apparently unable to follow up the re- capture of Luck.—Reuter. Duma's Next Meeting. I The members of the. Russian Cabint I retu rnoo from Field Headquarters after the meeting in the presence ot the Tsar on Thursday afternoon. According to newspaper reports the Duma will re- assem ble on October 8. The meeting of the Duma next week will be five weeks earlier than the date fixed when it was prorogued IJrt September 16. The prorogation was against, its own desires, and indeed caused some strong protests. The Progressive bloc, consist- ing of the great bulk of the Duma, had insisted on a more efficient regime, the dismissal of unworthy administrators, and the abolition of the. old svstem of irrespon- .sible government. Thereupon M. Gore- mvkin, acting apart from the rest of the Cabinet, got the Tsar's consent to the pro- rogation. The Duma, itself, however, took steps to bring its point of view before the Tsar, and there has been a general demand in the country for a change in the Premiership. TO-DAYS RUSSIAN OFFICIAL.
