French Attack on
Macedonian Front

LONDON, Oct. 21.-Heavy lighting is
going on along the Macedonian front,
according to the German War Office,
which reports the repulse Of strong
French attacks on the western flank OF
the battle line and successful local en-
gagements in the Monastir region.
The French assault, probably cooper
ated in by the Italian units under Cen
eral Sarrail, was delivered between
Skumbi Valley and Lake Ochrida after
powerful artillery preparation. Ger
man. Austrian and Bulgarian troops
broke down these attacks by guniire
and counter thrusts, according TO
Berlin.
From Lake Ochrida TO the Cerna
River and along both banks Of the Var
dar increased artillery activity is re-
ported BIZ the German statement.
For some time there have been hints
that Che Allied forces in Macedonia
planned some great military movement
against the enemy, with possible
drives against Constantinople and
Sofia. Although the fighting activity
on this front has not borne out these
rumors, it seems likely that Sarrail is
contemplating something greater than
local actions with the immense army
at his command, which now embraces
strong Greek and Albanian units.

British Forces
Drive Turks Back
North of Bagdad
Push Moslems Across Diala
River, Taking Captives
and Munitions

LONDON. oct. 21.-General Fred
crics S. Maude's British forces in Meso-
potamia have won new successes Of con-
siderable magnitude in an offensive
against the Turks near the Persian Dor
der. north Of Bagdad. The operation,
which the commander describes as an
"cuvelcping movement succeeded IN
driving the enemy across the Dlala
River. N the region Of kizil-Robat and
.Deltawa. Many prisoners and wagon
loads Of ammunition fell into the hands
Of the British troops, the official state
ment says.
The strategy Of General Maude, as
revealed In bis accounts OF the eXten-
s.ve operations ON this front during the
last half yefr. contemplates an attack
ON both fanhs o. the Turkish armies
north Of Bagaad loo an effort 10 break
the centre OF the euemy's lines between
the Tigris and EuphIates. The gen
cral movement Of the British forces is
toward Mosul. which is still some 100
miles north O. their present positions,
and which the Russians have been
steadily approaching from the north
east.
Several weeks ago the BRUSH moved
forward on the Euphrates, about sixty
miles west Of Bagdad, and captured the
town of Ramadie, together with the en-
tire Turkish army defending this region
and the Ottoman commander and his
staT. The latest stroke was made on
the opposite flank. about the same dis
lance northeast of Bagdad. The fact
that General Maude speaks of il as an
cnveloping movement indicates that
rart of the Turkish army has been
caught between the DIala and the
Eupbrates and must Immediately re
treat toward Mosul or face capture.
With the Russian forces in Turkish
Armenia still holding out strongly, the
conquest of all Mesopotamia by the Al
lies seems not improbable before the
war comes 90 "a close.

Destructive Bombardmen,
of U-Boat Rendezvous
Admitted by Berlin

LONDON, Oct. 21.--Allied naval
forces have carried out a destructive
hombsrdment Of Ostend, the chief Ger
man submarine base on the North Sea,
il was officially admitted by Berlin to-
day. The German announcement is
brief, stating merely that damage has
been caused to houses in the town"
No report Of the operation Is contained
in either the French or British War
Office statement. Presumably the bonn
bardment was carried out by Brit
ish warships and may have resulted in
military damage the extent Of which
would not be revealed in a German

The raid on Ostend comes at time
when the British press is calling loudly
for naval operations against the
enemy's U-boat bases, and sharply criti-
cising the government for the recent
German naval successes in the Baltic
and North seas and for the failure OF
air defences 10 cone with the latest
Zeppelin raid. Several papers urge the
landing Of troops at Ostend as the only
real solution of the submarine prob
lem.
British Plan New Thrust
Meanwhile on the Flanders front the
British guns are preparing for new
thrust. which will decide in large meas
ure the fate of the submarine bases

tire region from the coast TO the Meuse.
Although no more than raids have been
undertaken by Haig's troops so far. the
artillery battle has reached enormous
dimensions east of Ypres, an almost
certain sign of the renewal Of the great
drive.
In the Aisne region, especially north
east Of Scissors, the French gunners
are maintaining a drum fire on the
German trenches. and large military
actions are foreshadowed there as well,
probably taking the form of joint Of
fensive with the British. On both
fronts the Germans are showing their
nervousness in the face of fresh at
tacks.
Irish in Successful Raid
Among the successful raiding opera
tions carried out by the Allies to-day
we're assaults by Irish troops north

Allies. The Bruges docks and the

about sixty bombs in the Dunkirk re-

PLENTY OF JOBS.

Peoria, H., was for half century
the whisky-manufacturing center Of
the United States. It's five great disfil-
leries, the largest In the world, fur
nished 35 per cent Of the whisky Of the
country. They used up $4,000 bushels
of corn daily and employed 1875 men.
When these plants, on September 8,
under the federal food control law,
ceased operations-so far as the max
ing of beverage liquor is concerned
did these 1,275 men face a jobless fu-
ture? Not at all. Other manufacture
ers eagerly snapped them up. A lead
ing business man of Peoria said to a
Chicago reporter: There is a place
for every one of them In the tractor
factories and other industries. We can
use every ounce of coal the distilleries
have been requiring and are glad to
get 1t. Peoria will never know that
the distilleries have been closed"

CONSISTENT INCONSISTENCY.

Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin, an
opponent of prohibition, voted for the
submission to the states of the prohi-
bition amendment to the federal con-
stitution. La .Follette's Magazine ex-
plains the senator's apparent incon-
sistency thus:
Senator La Toilette said that while
he was opposed to prohibition he rec
ognized the right of the people to set
tie all questions by the referendum,
and for that reason he voted for the
resolution"
The action proclaims the Wisconsin
senator loyal TO the principles of true
American democracy and we, the peo-
pie, commend it to every senator and
representative in congress.
