There was much hand-to-hand fighting and large numbers of Germans have been killed by grenades and bombs dropped into their deep dugouts of the Hindenburg system. The Americans found it necessary to clear up portions of the Hindenburg line through which they smashed their way. They advanced so quickly in their operation that many Germans were left in the dugouts and some of these proved a serious menace. French Take Road. London, Oct. 2.--Half of the Chemin des Dames, from which the enemy is retiring, has . been captured by the French. British Advance. London, Oct. 2.--The British troops la the St. Quentin-Cambrai sector con­ tinued to advance despite heavy re­ sistance, according to Field Marshal Haig's report from British headquar­ ters. Among other villages they cap- tared Thorigny, Le Tronquoy and Gon- nelieu, taking many prisoners. Field Marshal Haig's forces smashed the Hindenburg line on a front of eight miles to a maximum depth of three miles. The British attack was made Just north of St. Quentin. St. Qnentin, one of the strongholds of the Hindenburg line, is being flanked. Fighting is going on in Cambrai. The northeastern, western and south­ western suburbs have been captured, and the town probably will be cleared up shortly. The British are in no hurry to clear up the situation in Cambrai. however. The German communications there have been ruined and they, cannot bring in help or take away much ma­ terial. Both railroads aad highways are un­ der such an intense fire that it is im­ possible for the enemy to get men !n or out French Go Ahead. Oct 2.--General Gouraud's French army has crossed the German fortified zone between Suippe and the Aire river over a frolilt of ten kilo­ meters (more than six miles) and is IBOW entering upon open ground, where an opportunity for decisive maneuver­ ing is offered to the attackers. The French were only two miles from the important rail junction of £hallerange. They are marching on 'Montbois (a little less than two miles due west of Challerange). German Armies in Flight. Paris, Sept 30.--All along the 250- mile front from Flanders to the Marne, the German armies are going back, pursued by Btilgian, French, British and American forces. The allied troops in the last three days have captured 40,000 prisoners and 300 guns from the retiring Ger­ mans along the battle front, it is esti­ mated here. The Germans admit a retirement in the St. Quentin-Cambrai sector, in the Champagne and in the Argonne, while in Flanders and on the Meuse front they are moving backward also, de­ spite claims of the Berlin war office that their lines were holding. Overshadowing everything in the continuous record of allied victories, two developments stood out. British in Cambrai. First, British troops were reported fighting in the streets of Cambrai, the key position to the central link of the Hln<tenburg line. Second, the Germans were reported to have begun a retirement from the Chemin des Dames, the famous high- WA0 avaw t dominates Laon. ? Belgians Capture Dixmude. Generalissimo Foch struck the. Ger- .mans at every front along the 20-mile battle line. On the north the Belgians and Brit­ ish, continuing their drive in Flanders which scored such telling successes, increased their gains to from five to seven miles along the 15-mile front, capturing Dixmude and Increasing their prisoner total to 6,000, a gain of 2,000 over yesterday's figures. I Canadians Win Victory, .farther south British and American ir*' >uuwuc |>uiicau turn troops launched an attack northwt** of St. Quentin and advanced on the entire 35-mile front from St. Quentla to -the Scarpe. i Meld Marshal Haig reported that the encirclement of Cambrai had pro­ gressed favorably and that Canadian troops had captured the defense sys­ tem known as the Marcoing-Masnieres line as far north as Sailly. Since Friday morning, he Ridded, the British have captured more than 16,000 prisoners. Later he sent word that British troops were fighting on the outskirts of Cambrai. Below this fighting front the French advanced cm the western end of the Chemin des Dames and reached the River Ailette at two points. Shortly after this news was made public came the report that the Ger­ mans were abandoning the entiro Chemin des Dames ridge. In the Champagne the Americans and French drove forward. The French took the heights of Bellevue northeast of Gratenile and the Ameri­ cans captured Clergy and Komague, west of the Meuse and well above the Argonne forest. London, Sept. 28.--Americans oper­ ating on the extreme right of the Brit­ ish captured a series of trenches and fortified farms forming the outer de­ fenses of the Hindenburg system southwest of Le Catelet, north of St Quentin, according to the official re­ port from Field Marshal Haig. Capt-tre 16,000 Huns. With the American Forces North­ west of Verdun, Sept. 28.--The French and American armies continued their advances on the whole front from the Suippe river to the Argonne. Positions' which the Germans had held since the start of the war were carried. The Americans captured great numbers of German cannon, some of them of the heaviest calib?r. The prisoners are suid to number more than 16,000. French Take 10,000. Paris, Sept 28.--French troops on the battle line east of Reims In the last two days' fighting have advanced five miles in some places and taken more than 10,000 prisoners, according to a war office statement British Open Big Drive. London, Sept. 28.--The British troops, attacking on a wide front, have smashed through the GAlnan defenses until they are within three miles of Cambrai. Vast numbers of prisoners have been taken and progress was con­ tinuing when the last official .reports were filed. British troops advanced to a point within three miles of Cambrai. They took between 5,000 and 6.000 .prison­ ers. Some German guns, including a com­ plete battery, were captured by Field Marshal Haig's men. The British attack was made be­ tween Sauchy-le-Stree and Gonzeau- court, a distance of 14 miles. The at­ tack is viewed here as a strong British effort to take Cambrai. Pershing'a Report. Washington, Sept. 27.--Attacking on a front of 20 miles, the First American army, in conjunction with the French, advanced seven miles and captured 12 towns and 5,000 prisoners, General Pershing reported. Pennsylvania, Kansas and Missouri troops, serving in Major General Lig- gett's corps, stormed Varennes, Mont- blainvllle, Vauquois and Cheppy after stubborn resistance. Troops of other corps, crossing the Forges brook, cap­ tured the Bois des Forges and wrest­ ed from. the enemy the towns of Ma- lancourt, Bethincourt, Montfaucon, Cuisy, Nantillois, Zeptzarges (Sept- sarges?), Dannevoux and Gercourt-et- Drillancourt. The prisoners thus far reported number over 5,000. Attack on Forty-Mile Front Paris, Sept 27.--The Americans at­ tacked on a 40-mlle front in Cham­ pagne in conjunction with the Flench and they have advanced at some points to a depth of six tniles and are. still going forward. The French troops, attacking on 'he American left, have made an advance of nearly four miles at certain points west of the Argonne. The Americans in their advance thus far have taken the towns of Grqcourt, Cuisy, Montfaucon, Cheppy and Baren-' nes. all northwest of Verdun. The French have taken Sevron and Navarin farm, positions which the $n- emy had held since 1914. The Ameri­ can troops attacked west of the Ver­ dun region in this sector. The Ger­ mans, anticipating the attack, seeming­ ly had withdrawn y part of their Occupy First Line. 1 The French on their end of the front apparently met with stronger resist­ ance, but reports from the war office were that they had occupied all the enemy's first line4 Marshal Foch's new attack^ was launched on a front from thf Suippe river east of Reims, to the River Meuse, just north of Verdun, The field of, the new offensftre is be­ tween the scene of the successful Marne offensive and the recent Ameri­ can success in cleaning djjtygie St Miblel salient :\£- NAPOLEON POINTS THE WAY tflniature Figure Stiff Stands In Wrecked French Village--Shows ^ .

The President's Address. The president spoke,in part as fol­ lows : "My Fellow Citizens: I am not here to promote the loan. That will be done--ably and enthusiastically done-^-by the hundreds of thousands of loyal and tireless men and women who have undertaken to present it to you and to our fellow citizens through­ out the country, and I have not the least doubt of their complete success, for I know their spirit and the spirit of the country. "No man or woman who has really taken in what this war means can hes­ itate to give to the very limit of what they have. And it is my mission here to try to make clear once more what the war really means. You will need no ether stimulation.

The old army tale of "beans, bean*, beans, morning, noon and night" does not fit the destroyer menu. r- The War's Issues. "Those issues are these: "Shall the military power of any na­ tion or group of nations be suffered to determine the fortunes of peoples over whom they have no right to rule except the right of force? Shalt strong nations be free to wrong weak nations and make them subject to their purpose and interest? Shall people be ruled and dominat­ ed, even in their own internal af­ fairs, by arbitrary and irresponsible force, or by their own will and clioice? Shall there be a common stand­ ard of right and privilege for all peo­ ples and nations or shall the strong do as they will and the weak suffer without redress? "Shall the assertion of right be hop- hazard and by casual alliance or shall rhere be a common concert to oblige the observance of common rights? No man, no group of men, chose these to be the issues of the strug- g'e. They are the issues of it, and "hey must be settled by no arrange- inen or compromise or adjustment of Interests, but definitely and once for til and with a full and unequivocal acceptance of the principle that the interest of the weakest is as sacred 88 the Interest of the strongest "This is what we mean when we Speak of a permanent peace, if we speak sincerely, intelligently, and with a real knowledge and comprehen­ sion of the matter we deal with. "We are all agreed that there can be no peace obtained by any kind of bar­ gain or compromise with the govern­ ments of the central empires, because we have dealt with them already and have seen them deal with other govern-® ments 8hat were party to this struggle, at Brest-Lltovsk and Bucharest. "They have convinced us that they are without honor and do not inteud justice. They observe no covenants, accept no principle but force and their own Interests. ~we cannot, 'come to terms' with them. They have made It impossible. "The German people must by this time be fully aware that we cannot ac­ cept the word of those who forced this war upon us. We do not think the same thoughts or speak the same lan­ guage of agreement. It Is of capital importance that wa should be explicitly agreed that no -peace shall be obtained by any bind of compromise or abatement of the prin­ ciples we have avowed as the princi­ ples for which we are fighting. There should exist no doubt about that, t am, therefore, going to take the liber- Destroying Hon Alrplanea. Maj. W. A. Bishop, British air serv­ ice, tells this: "The British do not officially announoe a hostile machine destroyed without strict verification. When you are fighting a formation of 20 or more Huns In general melee, and one begins a downward spin, there is seldom time to disengage yourself and watch the machine complete Its fatal plunge. You may be morally certain the Hun was entirely out of control and nothing could save him; but unless someone saw the crash, Evil Effects of Worry. When a man worries he mftkes It absolutely impossible for his bodily organs to function properly. He can­ not digest food as he should-; he can­ not eliminate waste products adequate­ ly; be cannot fully purify the blood that nourishes his brain. Resultantly, he tires far more quick­ ly than he otherwise wotfld. Nerve poisoning, nerve lrtitability and feel­ ings of uneasiness are logical develop­ ments. . Which means that any man troubled MeHf&ritr PLAINDEAURTR, McHENR ty of slMM^I^ith th# „ ness about the practical imptiefcttbaa that are involved in it Foe Must Pay Price. "If it be In deed and in truth the common object of the governments as­ sociated against Germany littd of the nations whom they govern, as I believe it to be, to achieve by the coming set­ tlements a secure and lasting peace It will be necessary that all who sit down at. the peace table shall come ready and willing to pay the price, the only price that will procure it; and ready and Milling also to create In some virile fashion the only Instrumentality by which it ban be-made certain that the agreements of the peace will be honored and fulfilled. "That price is Impartial Justice In' every item of settlement, no matter whose interest is crossed ; not only Im­ partial justice, but also the satisfac­ tion of the several peoples whose for* tunes are dealt with. That indispen­ sable Instrumentality is a league of nations formed under covenants that will be efficacious. "Without such instrumentality, by which the peace of the world can be guaranteed, peace will rest in part upon the word of outlaws'and only upon /that word. For Germany will havedto redeem her character, not only by what happens at the peace table but what follows. " . "And, as I see it,*the constitution of that league .of nations and the clear definition of its objects must be a part is in a sense the most essential part, of the peace settlement Itself. It can­ not be formed now. If formed now, it would be merely a new alliance con­ fined to the nations associated against a common enemy. It Is not likely thats it could be formed after tha.t settle­ ment _ " 1 It is necessary to guarantee the peace, and the peace cannot be guar­ anteed as an afterthought. The rea­ son, to speak in plain terms again, why it must be guaranteed, is that there will be parties to the peace whose promises have proved untrust­ worthy, and means must be found in connection with the peace settlement Itself to remove that source of Inse­ curity. It would be folly to leave theguar- antee to the subsequent voluntary ac­ tion of the government we have seen destroy Russia and deceive Roumania. / Particulars of Terms. "These, then, are some of the par­ ticulars. and I state them with the greater confidence because I can state them authoritatively as representing this government's interpretation of its own duty with regard to peace: FIRST--The impartial Justice meted out must involve no discrimina­ tion between those to whom we wish to be just and those to whom we do not wish to be just. It must be a justice that plays no favorites and knows no standard but the equal rights of the several peoples. SECOND--No special or separate Interest of any single nation or any group of nations can be made the basis of any part of the settlement which is not consistent with the com­ mon interest of all. THIRD--There can be no leagues or alliances or special covefftints and understandings within the general and common- family of the league of na­ tions. "FOURTH--And more specifically, there can be no special, selfish, econo­ mic combinations within the league and no employment of any force of economic boycott for exclusion except as the power of economic penalty by exclusion from the markets of the world may be vested in the league of nations itself as a means of discipline and'control. FIFTH--All international' agree­ ments and treaties of every kind must be made known in their entirety to the rest of the world. Special alliances and economic rivalries and hostilities have been the prolific sources in the modern world of the plans and passions that produce war. It would be an insin­ cere as well as insecure peace that did not exclude them in definite and binding terms. * "Plain workaday people have demand? ed almost every time they came to­ gether, and are still demanding, that the leaders of their governments de­ clare to them plainly what it is--ex­ actly what It is--that they were seek­ ing in this war and what they think the items of the) final settlement should be. "They are not yet satisfied with what they have been told. They still seem to fear that they are getting what they ask for only in statesmen's trims --only in the terms of territorial ar­ rangements and the divisions of pow­ er and not in terms* of broad vision, justice and mercy and peace and the satisfaction of those deep-sea ted. long­ ings of oppressed and distracted men and women and enslaved peoples that seem to them the only things worth fighting a war for that engulfs the world, Germany Is constantly intimating the 'terms' she will accept; and al­ ways finds that the world does not want terms.' It wishes the final tri­ umph of justice and fair dealing." credit is given only for a machine driven down.

HOW GERMANS ARE DELUDED > - Ridiculous Statements Made by Kai- aer»s Government Prove How'Real Is Fear of America. ; A poster recently issued by tfi# li£ perial German government in an effort to belittle the participation of America in the war and thus strengthen the morale of her people form the text of one of the most striking pieces of litera­ ture that the bureau of publicity of the war loan organization has prepared for use in the forthcoming Fourth Lib­ erty loan. The title of the poster is "Can America's Entry Make a decision of the War?" Integral sections of it attempt to convince the reader that America's ariny cannot take the place of Rus­ sia's withdrawn forces; that-the Unit­ ed States cannot build enough ships to have any effect on the result of the war, and that the U-bonts will destroy virtually all the ships that America can build when those ships at­ tempt to cross the ocean. A French poster also Is reproduced In the Ger­ man poster and the meaning so twisted as to make it appear that France is very badly in need of food. Two trillions of the booklets have been printed and will be distributed in various parts of the country, par­ ticularly in theaters where Liberty Loan speakers take the book as their text. The enormous figure of a Russian soldier Is the first object on the poster to strike the eye. He stands with hands in his overcoat pockets, indica­ tive of the fact that he is through fighting. Beside him stands Uncle Sam holding' a small figure, designed to represent the United States army, in his right hand. In his left hand Uncle Sam carries a banner which bears the inscription, "America threatens to send transport of one-half million men. But it cannot ship them!" Below Uncle Sam are these words: "It Is impossible for America to train and fit out in time for the European war a suitable and sufficiently large army and provide it with the necessary re- enforcements." The catchline of this section of tlve poster is "Russia's army of millions could not down Germany," and on the skirt of the Russian sol­ dier's overcoat are printed these words: "Russia used up altogether fifteen milUon men in vain!" ' " HOW LOAN IS APPORTIONED Minimum Amount of Money Which Each Federal Reserve District la Asked to Raise.

That the money la being well r'f catclillne: "England and England's merchant raari»* have not decided the war!" Below this line appek/R a huge figure Intended to •represent the English shipping faclli4 ties at the outbreak of the war, which? bears these words: "England i wenij Into the war with twenty million gross registered tons ot freight space." Alongside this figure of a ship is a drawing designed to show Uncle Sam carrying the United States tonnage un­ der his left arm. The caption above Uncle Sam reads: "Can America re-is, place England on sea?" On the ship! which Uncle Sam carries is printed'? this inscription: "Three million gross registry tons," and below that Is an­ other inscriptions which says: "At the beginning of the war America had on­ ly a tonnage of three million gross reg­ istered tons." Commenting on these, statements, the poster further declares. "America cannot Increase her gross registered tons for 1918 by more than two to two and a half million tons Our U-boats sink twice as quickly a# Kngland and America can build!" The answer of the publicity bureau to the two sections of the poster refer­ ring to the transportation of men and the building of ships follows: "At the iroment the bulletin boards of Ger­ many scoffed the possibility of Amer­ ica1 sending a force to France, there were already more than a million fight ing men overseas, and transports, walled about by the American navy de­ fying thfe cowardly submarines, were bearing every nu>mh hundreds of thousands more. The gauge is set and the summer of 1919 will see 4,000,000 fighting American men In France. Nor will there be a lack of ships to trans port and sustain them. The Liberty Bond buyer is fast giving to America a merchant marine that will be the peer of any In the world. America launched in July alone 635,011 tons. Losses to allied and neutral shipping combined, from every cause, tor the last six months, amounted to 2,089,393 tons. The distance from New York to England, the Boche points out," com­ ments the bureau of publicity publi­ cation, "Is two hundred times greater than that from England to France, fro»» which he spells 'Opportunity, for the German U-boats.' Pitiful is this boast in face of the facts. Instead of the U-boat being an unconquerable engine of war, as the Hun confidently expected, it has become th^ slinking foe of fishing smacks and other iso­ lated craft The vast army of Liberty Bond buyers, thirty millions strong, has built an unbroken bridge pver the Atlantic ocean into the heart of the enemy's strongholds. Across this bridge there are .streamliig our mil­ lions of fighting men. as good as the world has ever known, munitions and equipment that have been wrought by those back home, whose determination is that the American fighting man shall lack nothing that he needs." As a back-handed slap at the French, the German, propagandists have repro­ duced a French poster which pleads with French people to eat less in or­ der that the United States may send over more man power. The French poster pointed out that if every per­ son in France would save a hundred grams of food a day that the American reinforcements could be increased a division a month. The French catch- line on this poster was "Does France want wheat or men?" and the German poster remarks "Also the allies are now beginning to have their doubts!" In a further effort to eonvince the German people that it will be impos­ sible for the United States to trans­ port troops to France, the German section of the poster says that ten tons of freight space are required for every soldier In crossing the water. The truth is that a soldier requires less than one-half this amount of space. , ' " Sumralng up all the falsehoods which the German poster contains, the book­ let says: "The War Lord of Ger­ many may have the futile hope that ills people will devour in the place of food, such statements as the forego­ ing. Falsehoods, however, are poor substitutes and are likely to aggra­ vate rather than appease when the de­ luded people of Germany learn that -tvfry requirement of the American soldier will be met by his patriotic ahd unqualified support back home. If a single soldier required ten tons of freight space, It would be given him But the truth is he requires less than tne-half of that As for Germany's statement that even If the United States built from wo and a half million gross regis­ tered tons in 1918, it would not mean deliverance for the allies, no further comment Is needed than that by July of ihis year the 2,000,000-ton mark has been passed. If further refu­ tation of the Hun boast of his U-b*at prowess were needed, It might be scaled that less than 500 American soldiers haVe lost their lives in the present war as a result of U-boat at­ tacks.*' Closing the booklet tp this striking quotation from Secretary McAdoo: "The Fourth Liberty loan Is the bar- rage wh'fh will precede the victorious thrust of oftr army.", ^ ^ Wnfl Ferdinand's Peace Envoys< Yield to All the Allied ; ' ",4'vA^?rermi,; I' 1 -- -- " 1 ^ TURKS ARE NEXT TO SUE •M IS1 Bulftara 8lve lip ltalfw*y« ^ PanhN Entente to Pass Through Their Country--Alto Surrender ' Control of Danubk •<> f,« serve districts: District.
