.FRENCHNEN AIDED
BY BELGIAN HEROES
MERcKEM PENINSULA is CAP
TuRED BY THE ALLIES AFTER
MOST SPECTACULAR ADVANCE
5attIed Forward over Morasses IN
Which Soldiers Sank to Arnplts.--
Austro- Germany Army Shakes En-
tire italian Line.

Paris.-The French advance in Bel
gium continues, the war office reports.
German positions were stormed Sum
day night and more prisoners were
taken.
The entire Merckum peninsula, near
Dixmude, has been captured by the
entente forces, according to the Brit
ish official communication issued Sun
day evening. The communication adds
that additional prisoners also have
been taken.
The story of the highly important
victory won by the French and Bel
gian armies over the marshlands of
Flanders Sunday is the record of a
spectacular military operation, which
before it's completion would have been
branded as impossible by the average
expert. 1t is a story of men who bat
tied their way forward over morasses
and through water into which they
sank literally to their necks at times,
and with rifle and cold steel conquered
the enemy in a large and vital strip
of territory which includes within its
borders such places as Kippe, Merck
EN-, Aschhoope, Yerbrandesmis and
Kostermolen.
The striking feature of the perform
ance lies in the part played by the Bel
gians in the drive. When the poilus
reached the neighborhood of Luyghem
in the afternoon and began their as
sault on this place the Belgians, who
were watching from their lines across
the floods, joined in and numbers of
them, piling into the ferries, poled
their way to the eastern shore and
hurled themselves on the Germans con-
cealed in concrete defenses in the re-
gion north of Luyghem, with such
good effect that they quickly captured
this entire northern tip Of the So
called Luyghem peninsula.
The Austro-G German army under the
command of Emperor Charles, who
has as his chief assistant the brill
liant field marshal, Won Mackensen,
are shaking the entire italian line from
the Julien Alps region to the Adriatic
sea. Pressing back the Italians at
several points on Italian soil, the COM
bined enemy forces now have pushed
forward on the Italian left wing and
captured Cividale, lying to the north
east of Udine, and are nearing the
plains beyond. In addition, the Aus
trian town of Gorilla, point Of great
strategic value on the Isonzo river,
has been retaken from the Italians.
According to the latest Berlin Of
fetal communication, 100000 Italians
have been made prisoners and in ex-
cess of 700 guns have fallen into Aus
tro-German hands. The second and
third Italian armies are declared to
be in retreat. Rome admits the falling
back of the second army, asserting
that cowardice similar to that shown
by the Russians in Galicia, was exhib-
tied in the face of the foe, the Ital-
ians surrendering or retreating with
out giving battle, permitting the break
ing of the left wing and thereby offer
ing easy access to the town of Civil
dale.

LIBERTY LOAN OVER
FIVE BILLION MARK
OVER EIGHT MILLION AMER1-
CANS OPEN PURSE STRINGS IN
AID OF OUR BOYS AT FRONT.
Federal Reserve Banks Struggle I'm
der Avalanche Of Last Minute Sub
scriptions, over Billion Dollars
Coming in Last Day.

Washington.-The American people,
have again shown their loyalty. When.
the second Liberty loan drive ended
Saturday night over five billion dol
lars had been subscribed, considerably
over billion dollars being raised in
the final days drive. Just how much
the amount desired was oversubscribed
Is not known, and will not be for sew
eral days, as the report of subscrip-
tons from different sections nave not
all been received.
Secretary McAdoo announced late
Saturday night that the second Lib
erty loan had been an overwhelming
success.
ut is great honor" said the secre-
tary, ito be able to announce that the
second Liberty loan has been greatly
oversubscribed. 1t will be several
days before final figures can be given.
1.-THE challenge of the German kaiser
has been answered by the free peo-
pie of America in unmistakable
terms"
Federal reserve banks are strug-
Cling under an avalanche of last-mln-
ute subscriptions to form some idea
of the grand total. Indications are
that they will not complete their tabu-
lation for several days.
At least 100000 persons through
out the country wrote their names on
application blanks. How many more
did so will not be known until the
final count several days hence. The
number may go as high as 1O,OO0,OOO.
A last-day drive of titanic proper
lions throughout the nation rounded
up more than $1,OOO000,0O0 and was
believed to have carried the total sew
eral hundred million dollars beyond
the maximum sum treasury officials
had hoped for.
Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, Col
orado, and in fact, all the western
states, responded nobly to the request
for funds, the subscriptions being an
answer in no unmistakable terms to
the kaiser. The American people
have shown that they are in this war
to a finish-and that finish will be
victory for the allied forces and the
downfall of Prussianism and militar-
| ism.

1.-THE time has come when suffrage
should be given to the women of
America. 1t should be given promptly,
it should be given ungrudgingly, it
should be given gladly. The women of
the United States have in every way,
especially since the war broke out,
shown themselves qualified for the
right of suffrage.
when America energies from this

civil status is concerned, work out the
