 CLOSE AT O'CLOCK

Beginning this afternoon every business house in the city will close at 6 o'clock. A canvass was made of the merchants this morning and every man agreed to close at o'clock. This action is brought about mainly to CO operate with the government to save fuel and the public can render a ser vice to the government and to the merchant by doing their shopping as early as possible and not ask the merchant to keep his doors open after every other house in the city is closed.
 This action is being taken by prac- tically every city and town in the state and much fuel will be conserved in this manner

LUDENDORFF
 HAS RESIGNED
Army Loses What Has Been Called Military Brain" - Made Quartermaster General After Russian Campaign.

Copenhagen, Oct. 27.-Gen. Luden- dortf, first quartermaster general of the German army, has resigned. says a telegram from Berlin. In accept ing his resignation the emperor has decreed that the lower Rhenish in- fontry regiment Nc. 39, of which Gen. Ludendorff long had been commander. shall bear his name
 Official announcement was made in Berlin Saturday night that Emperor William had acceded to the request of Gen. Ludendorff, the first quartermas- ter general. that he be permitted to resign.
 General surprise was caused in Der lin on Saturday afternoon by the fact that the daily report from German headquarters was not signed, as usual with the name of Gen Ludendorff. Later the following official announce ment was issued:
 "The emperor, accepting the re- quest to be allowed to retire of In- fantry General Ludendortf. the first quartermaster general and command CT in time of peace of the Twenty fifth infantry brigade, has placed him on the unattached list. The emperor decided at the same time that the lower Rhenish infantry regiment No. 39, of which the general has long been chief, shall bear henceforth the name of Ludendorff." ."
 His resignation, it is believed in London, will still further shake the faith of the German people in their military machine.

With the American Army North sitionS for defense held by the Ger mans north of the Amercian line are probably as strong as any along the entire battle front from Switzerland to the sea. These positions, which the Americans are facing, are espec- tally strong owing to the thickly wooded districts and series of hills an dridges. Taking advantage of these natural military positions the Germans have thrown in strong fore es of men and brought up immense quantities of artillery of various cali bre. determined to hold what has been called the eastern pivot of their defense line in France at any cost.
 From Grand Pre- pass where there has been fierce fighting for nearly two weeks. the Americans face the Bois de Bourgogne and Bois de Bas. which really are continuation of the Ar gonne forest Back of these great 
 woods is the Foret de Boult, all of which forms a splendid protection for troop concentration and concealing ammunition and heavy artillery.
 Here the Americans are preparing for the battle of Argonne.
 With the American Army North west of Verdun, Oct. 27, D. m.- German troop concentrations in the region of Briquenay, north of Grand Pre- were bombed this afternoon by about sixty all-American bombing airplanes with about so pursuit planes protecting them. Formations of from fifteen to twenty German machines attempted to drive off the Americans and several aerial combats resulted.
 Lieutenant Edward Rickenbacker was among the pursuit planes ac- companying the bombing squadron. He engaged in two aerial combats and brought down a German machine within the American lines near Exer- mont Rickenbacher followed the enemy machine close to the ground until he saw the enemy aviator land and fall into the hands of American infantrymen.
