AMSTERDAM, Sept. 12. Ueltor ntinK that Germany "us the innocent nnd attacked party" In the war, had a rlh'ht io demand Indemnification, Fredorkh von Payer, tho (irman Ini Jierlnl vice chancellor, In his Bpoech today at Stuttgart said that "wo prc for on Bolemn refiectlon, and even with our favorable military situation to abandon this Idea." Turning to the iuentlon of the oc cupied territories, tho vlco chancellor Bald that as a preliminary condition of peace for Germany and her allies (hose nations must have all their pre war possessions, including the Cler mun colonies, restored. Thon Ger many, he declared, could evacuate tho occupied regions and could give liack Belgium without encumbrance mill without reserve, providing no other state was more favorably placed in regard to Belgium than was Ger many. lie asserted that Germany would fot submit to the entente powero for upprovnl or alleratlonthe peace trea ties which Germany had signed with tho Ukraine, Russia und Rumania. AMSTERDAM, Sept. 13. The postponement of ponce prospects and tho likelihood of a rifth war winter wo!gh equally on all belligerents, and Hot only Gormany alone, In tho opin ion of Freldrich von Payer, the im perial .vlco chancellor of Germuny, oxprossed In a speech at Stuttgart. Ilorr von Payer reminded ills neur on) that after four years the war still was ibclng waged almost entirely on onomy territory. Ilo ndmltlcd thai tho ll-liont war had not worked as nuickly and successfully as had been hoped, lie added, however, that it Is tisnlosH to speculate as to whose waS Die fault. Tho enemy, hn said, war, fitill unable to compensate their losses "by now construction anil declared that' tho roiyhery of neutral ships al most without parallel by tho entente could not be repeated. On American TroopM "Tho nioro troops the United States Rends 'the greater will bo the need ot shipping for reinforcements of muni tions and provisions," llerr von Pay or suld. "The filling up of tho enemy Itriny by Americans, therofnro, 'hears In itself Its limitations." Contending Hint tho genius which nlroady hnd helped tho Germans over heavy obstacles would still help them llerr von Payor said: "If wo lack cotton nnd oils, our enemies lack coal. Pood is scarce lioro and thoro hut already things probably have turned In our favor. In the onst tho world is again open to us for a food supply, while our ene mies' supplies of foodstuffs nnd raw materials give precedence to the front's calls for Amcrliu's armies and their provisioning." The speaker said that the enemy's only hope is that tho Germans might collnpso Inwardly sooner than they. Jlo assertoii that enemy attempts to now discord were unavailing. To Force Suffrage. Regarding the Prussian suffrage lilll, which ho considered of prime importance, ho snld that "It is no longer Prussian, but eminently n German quest Ion," adding, "more over it is my belief that 11 equal suf frage does not issue from the rum lultleo of the upper house tho govern ment will proceed to dissolution." Ilorr von Payer cotulilcred (hat Iho present terrible struggle would not end with peaco of the customary character. "In former peace negotiations," he until, "Iho middle nnd Hie lower classes, when II camo to the council tuhlo, fell quietly Into the back ground. This now is changed unit tho government will conclude the coming peace treaties In harmony Willi tho entire people. "Tho main Ihlug tor them In peace Is not the acquisition of land, treas ure nnd glory; they nlm nowadays at least at tho conclusion of u Instiuu pence and therefore there will be no peace of conquest." 12,000 HUN PRISONERS.

General I'ersliing's troops continued their steady iiilvance against the St. Mi hiel salient throughout the night. They reached and even passed (lie objectives set for I hem. Prisoners conl inue to pour in. The Amcricuus pushed ahead all along the front except nt one point. They were met with less resistance than they had expected. The Germans maile only one coun ter uttitck in un attempt lo stem (lie on-rushing tide of Americans. The Germans, however, lievan their proieclive barrage too early. They gave the Americans warning of wliul was enminjr und General rer.sliin's n.en were completely prepared for Hie i ounter attack when it started. lEnmovinjr Artillery WITH TIIK AMKIilCAN' AIIMY IN I.GIIIiAINi:, Sept.

Two Divisions Trapped Two Gorman divisions were re ported lust night to bo mill In this part of the salient nnd If they have not succeeded in extricating them-t-elvns their enpluro seems probable. The Germans have had great diffi culty In getting their artillery away over tho lono railroad line nt their disposal. They wore working fever ishly Inst night to move the guns out thru Vlgnoiilles, hut their way past now Booms blocked by tho continued American progress toduy. iN'umbers of troncli morlars und n great quan tity of machine guns are a I ready In American hands, 'besides the cannon reported taken. Tho olher railway Hue In the salient, running thru Thlniicourt was oarly blocked by the American enpluro of that place. Tho Immediate object of Iho drive apparenlly is to close tho mouth of the salient. IMIImalely it Is believed that General Pershing hopes to cul off tho enomy's control of tho llrley ore region from which nro obtained much of Ihe raw material for German guns nnd ammunitions. At tho pres ent rnte of the American ndvance the occupation ot Ihe German fortress at Motz Is a possibility. The Americans were favored by favorable wcnlher and a firm terrain. William S.

Habit ual use of morphine, -cocaine, heroin and preparations containing other narcotic drugs, has increased rapidly In the United States within the last two years and a drastic antl-narcotlc law must be enacted at this session to check the wholesale spread of the habit. These are the conclusions made public today by a special treas ury Investigating committee. It is estimated that at least 1,500,000 per sons in the United States are drug addicts. A REAL VICTORY IS NOW IN SIGH! MAXCIIKSTKIi, KiHnnil, Sept. J 3. ''Nnthing but heart failure on the part (if the liritih initiun enn prevent onr achieving n real vietury," said I'remier I.luyd (Jeor-ie, spenkin ut (iay nt Mnnehester. The premier ai that the Ilritish casualties in the Inst nfl'ensive in France were one-fit'tli of what they were in 1 ill If. "To end all wurs," Ihe premier said, "we must imnose n durable peaee from our enemies. The Prussian mil -itury power mast not only he, heat, hut Germany herself must know und the German people must know that their rulers have outraged Ihe laws of humanity and that Prussian strength cannot protect them from punishment." Premier I.loyd Qeorjre said lie was all for n league of nations nnd that in fuel a league already had been be- L'un. The Ilritish empire, he said, was a league of free nations end the nl lied countries fighting the battle for international riulil wero now a league of free nations. "This must be the last war," Mr. Lloyd George said. "Han't let us be misled that the establishment of n league of nations without power will in itself secure the, world njiainst " catastrophe. A leau'ue of nations wilh the Prussiun military power tri umphant would be a league of fox and (feese one fox und ninny freesc. The (jeese would jirently diminish in numbers." ROME, Sept. 12. In regard to the transfer of Austrian troops to France the National Zeitung writes: "Woe to Charles if ho permits himself to be compelled to send Austrian troops Into the charnel of the western front. "That -will link his destiny with that of Ludendorff and seal his own fate and that of his subjects forever." On tho other hand, Germany finds Itself short of effecllves and is accu mulating all the men it is possible to withdraw from tho auxiliaries and provision trains to send them to the front to fight, and Austria cannot re fuse the help demanded.
