Foch's First Ain, is to Clear France

events win follow In quick succession,
The success Of the Belgian effort be-
tween Dixmude and Ypres In received
hero with delighted surprise. in view OF
the immense strength of the German
position ut Houthulst Wood. which con-
stituted a veritablc fortress on which
the enemy has expended nearly four
years Of constant defensive efforts,
This position has la,tcrly been regarded
by many good judges here as probably
impregnable. It's reduction by Alberts
troops must therefore be credited to the
lasting glory of the gallant little Bel
gian army.
New Attacks Expected Soon.
The Belgian offensive, although not
without close relation to Foch's gen
eral plan. may be regarded as more
or less independent effort which h
more nearly related perhaps to the
British naval attac. on Zeehrugre than
to the principal allied objective further
along the front. At the same time. IL
as Is most probable, Fochs ultimate
objective In dislocating the German
main defensive positions on the Loan
plateau Is to throw the emmy back
on what is spoken of as the Antwerp
Namur- Metz line, which many people
here believe may very possibly be his
positions before long. the importance
Of the combined British naval and
Belgian military effort can not be over
estimated.

Paris, Oct, Alt Is now becoming

a long series Of gloriously successful
preliminary operations which have been
In progress since July Is. has now be-

reduction Of the three dangerous enemy

the main line OF defenses OF the So
called lEindenburg line and its extern

by a series of beautiful asticulated
movements which the whole world has
been admiring during the past three
months, the ground was ready for the
decisive series of operations that hove

Tanks and Cavalry
Play Grea.er Roles
in Recent Fighting

Correspondence Associated Press.l
Behind British Lines in France, Sept.
thanks. cavalry and armored
motor cars have had larger part in
the recent fighting on the western
front than ever before in the war.
They have added greatly to the driving
weight and speed of assault of the
modern intensive attack and their use
has been developed tremendously by
tho British command since last year.
The modern tank has twice the
speed Of the earlier type and more
than twice the radius of action. In
fantry is practically powerless against
them. II infantry attempts to rush an
oncoming taDk they are machine
sunned in the open. II they stay in
their trenches the tank straddles the
line and enfilades them with direct
short range fire: if they retreat to the
shellholes or dugouts the tank lumbers
right over them, crushing them into
the ground and caving in the dugouts.
The light high-speed tanks, known
as "whippets." are development OF
this year. They are killing machines
pure and simple. for they can bear
down upon fortified points and batter
les at such sped that there is
little chance of getting the guns o.
men away in time. Their reserve OF
fuel enables them to remain in action
for a full day without refilling.
Moreover, the advance Of the whip
pets is quickly followed by the So
called supply tanks" which can cross
any ground, bringing up reserve sup
plies of gasoline and ammunition.
The arEo-ed motor-cars are neces-
sarily limited in their radius Of action,
owing to the fact that they must stick
to the roads, but their great speed
makes them very useful in pursuit and
they have q faculty OF getting well
back behind the enemy front and do
ing endless damage by taking COM
mand of vital road junction and
preventing the escape OF enemy guns
and transport. Possibilities OF infinite
adventure are open to the commanders
of such detached units.

NEW suRoEN FOR U. s.
May BE Called Upon TO Feed Bulgaria
Until ReNvenated.

May De CaJteo upon 70 Teeu 0os9sVia
Until Rejuvenated.
Washington. Oct. 4.-The capitula-
ton Of Bulgaria will have little ma
terial effect on the food situation OF
America and the Allies. according to
the best news Of the situation obtain
able here.
The surrender Of the Sofia govern
ment may mean that America and the
allies will be called upon to assist in
the feeding Of Bulgaria's population of
100000. On the other hand, should
Turkey follow suit to make peace, the
Allies will get more than an even break
with Germany on any grain stores at
the Russian Black Sea ports
The opening of the Black Sea to
allied vessels. however. will make
available vast supplies Of the highest
grade Of manganese ore, essential to
the manufacture Of steel, and might
mean that platinum in appreciate
quantities might be obtained from the
Russian mines.
The food situation In Bulgaria is
known to be serious as the result Of
the virtual failure Of. this years wheat
crop. Bulgaria has always been grain
exporting country. and Germany and
Austria had been banking not only on
the Ukrainian and Rumanian crops
but Bulgaria's customary surplus as
well. Drought this year crt deeply in
to the RumaniaD>cfbp and seriously
affected Bulgaria's production.
Not more than a month ago reports
from Switzerland indicated that Bull
garia had sent out a call for wheat
supplies; with little assurance that
they would be answered favorably BY
the Central Powers.
AS = result America and the allies
doubtless will be asked to. send food to
the civilian population of bulgaria once
that nation is definitely out of the war.
1t is the view here, however, that the
tBulgarians can be taken care Of with
little difficulty in the allies great
scheme Of rationing their own and
neutral populations:
1t is also the belief that any Rus
sian grain available can be used Tor
this purpose if Turkey gets out Of ac-
ton and the Black Sea is free to Al
lied navigation. Few here. however.
think there is a large wheat surplus
In Russia. but control Of Odessa and
other Black Sea ports would give the
allies advantage in getting hold OF
whatever grain stocks there hight be.

Paris. Sept. 20.-In memoriam to the
first three soldiers Of the American

heroes fell.
graved with the following inscription.
Sons Of their great and glorious
country, they fought for right, for
liberty and civilization against Ger
man imperialism, the scourage of the
human race. They died on the field of
honor"
On another side will be inscribed
the names Of the heroes as follows:
corporal J. B. Gresham, Evansville.
Private Thomas P. Enright, Pitts
burgh.
Private Merle Hay. Glidden.''
The cross Of Lorraine is sculptured
on another side. It is encircled in a
.symbolical wreath. The cross bears
the inscription, France United States

States"
Bethelemont was in the direct line Of
fire in the operation in which the three
Americans participated. It has not
been thought appropriate to erect the
column on the exact spot where the
heroes fell. The work of providing the
recognition was supervised by NJ. Mir
