BULGARIANS SUFFER
CRUSHING DEFEAT At
HANDS OF SERB|ANS
British Advance From 2 to 3
Miles, Take Over II Miles of
Hindenburg 0utposts and
Menace St, Quentin

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-(Summary of
European War Cables to the Associated
Press. british troops in desperate
lighting are plunging further into the
Hindenburg line north of St Quentin,
while west of Cambria they have with
stood vicious German counter attacks.
The enemy is making every effort to
retain his positions on the thirty-mile
front and to check the new allied move
which threatens both st. Quentin and
Cambria. Eight thousand prisoners have
been counted by the British.
In Macedonia the Bulgarians are in
flight northward before the Serbians
and French. Hurled from important
heights the enemy has been forced back
more than twelve miles and the pursuit
continues. 49, .-
How serious was the menace to the
security of the Hindenburg line by the
British thrust north of st. Quentin is
shown by the strong counter attacks
the Germans have thrown against the
British lines from Gouzeaucourt to the
Arras-Cambrai road, thus. extending the
battle line nearly twelve miles to the
northward. On the front attacked Wed
nesday the British are pushing ahead
against the bitter resistance toward the
St. Quentin-Cambrai high road railway
and canal-three important enemy de-
Tense lines.
. From Lempire to Pontruet, which the
British now hold, the Germans have
been hurled from the forward lines OF
the Hindenburg position. The British
at Lempire are four miles from LIE Cat
eIet, an important town. while on front
OF nearly six miles they are within one
mile of the high road and the canal.
On a short front west of st. Quentin
the French are working steadily toward
the town and are on the outskirts of
Dalton, two miles from st. Quentin.
German counter attacks at Trescault
and Moeuvres, southwest and west of
Cambria, were preceded by an intense
artillery bombardment which severed
the British communication lines. At
both points the Germans were hurled
back with heavy losses. The enemy
entered the British trenches at some
points but was Immediately over
whelmed.
The Bulgarian retreat from the Serbo-
Greek border is reported to be in the ma
ture of a rout, and the enemy is burn
ing stores and villages in his path. The
allies have captured additional prison
ers and war material which have not
been counted, so fast has been their ad-
vance. A score or more of Serbian vii
lagos have been reconquered and the
Bulgarians have been driven beyond
Rasimbey, on the Cerna river, fifteen
miles southwest of Prilep, the immediate
objective.
1t is not unlikely the Bulgarians will
continue their retirement at least to the

RAID ON CAROLINA

rines and the terror" of other Atlantic
coast cities whose officials have i'm
plored" the American government to pro-
tect them against a like fate, is re-
lated as veracious news for German
readers in a recent issue of the Cologne
Gazette, which has been received here.
The newspapers publication Of August
81, which offers a striking example of
the sort of propaganda fed the German
public, adroitly attributes the story of
the American coastal raid to Paris pa
pers The article, illustrated with a
map of the Atlantic shore line declares
that several U-boats participated in the
Smelling of the two cities. There follows
an account of the supposed panic else
where along the coast, with gloating
assurance that assignment of American
warshius to safeguard large Atlantic
cities will draw vessels from the United
States naval forces in European waters.

FORT KRONPRINZ
TOBE FIRST TARGET
OF u. S. BIG GUNS

NEW YORK, Sept. 1s.-The American
front is now only ten miles away from.
Fort Kronprinz, the most outlying re-
doubt protecting Metz on the western
side of the Moselle river, where General
Pershing is now operating.
Fort Kronprinz is probably destined
to be the first of the Metz strongholds
to fall to the American siege guns. 1t
stands seven miles southwest of Metz
in wooded, rolling country, where the
hills reach a height of 1000 feet and
more. The fort is three miles inside the
German boundary and about two miles
from Core, on the Hindenburg line. The
Americans are now slowly progressing
toward Core, to the west of the Mad
river
Fort KronprinZ will not come under
the direct bombardment of the great
destructive mortar guns Antil the Amer
leans. are nearers If not actually at the
German border. The long range shells
which are capable of being sent into
Fort Kronprinz from the present Ameri-
can positions, ten miles away, have not
the enormous explosive power necessary
to crumple up the structure. 1t will be
necessary, therefore, for the Americans
to push forward some nve miles, or more
before they can secure the maximum re-
suits from an intensive bombardment
The Hindenburg line itself is well with
in the necessary range to give the
American gunners a full opportunity for
their deadly work.
Fort Kronprinz, from its hilly emf
hence, exercises a commanding inf1u-
ence upon the western terrain bordering
the Moselle to the point where the
Moselle touches French territory. For
this reason it must be put out of &C
ton before the Americans can advance
along the Moselle more than three or
four miles beyond their present posi-
lions on the west banks The allies have
not demolished a single modern perma-
nent German fertilization along the west
front since the war began. The Ameri-
cans may be destined to win that honor
for the allied cause at Fort Kronprinz.

PROPOSED TAX ON
COTTON Is VOTED
DOWN 100 TO e

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1s.-The first
organized effort to change the ways and
means committee draft OF the new reve-
nue. bill was under way today with cot
ton and child labor tax amendments up
in the house.
The first amendment of Representa-
tive Moore, of Pennsylvania, proposing
a tax OF IS a bale on cotton was de-
feated on a rising vote. 100 to %.
Despite the threat OF prolonged de-
bate on thees amendments and the prom
Use of introduction later in the day OF a
third amendment providing for con-
gressfonal committee to supervise and
investigate war expenditures, house
leaders hoped to -ush the big tax bill
TO vote before adjournment
The child labor amendment, sponsored
by Representative Green, of Iowa, would
put tax OF per cent on the products
OF any mine, quarry, cannery or factory
employing children under fourteen, or
working children between fourteen and
sixteen more than eight hours a day
or six days a week, or using children
between these ages for night work.
The amendment is designed to re-
place the federal child labor law recent
ly held unconstitutioJa by the supreme
court and, like the cotton amendment
will likely meet opposition from south
ern congressman. Its passage as part of
the revenue act was regarded as doubt
full even by congressman who favor it.
The cotton amendment proposed by
Representative Moore, OF Pennsylvania
would put a tax OF So on every bale of
cotton sold
Congressman from the big manufac-
turing states declare that while profits
OF steel men and manufacturers have
been limited during the war, cotton is
one OF the big essentials that has not yet
been touched. The cotton belt, they
hold, is paying only a small fraction Of
the war taxes, while it is reaping large
profits from war conditions.
Southern members declare cotton is
only now recovering from poor years be-
fore the war and that the country is
even threatened with a short crop this
year. .....
While expectations today were that
the cotton tax will be defeated southern
members were ready to battle every inch
in fear that a combination of Republic
cans and northern Democrats may possi-
bly, put the tax into the bill.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo today put the
ouietus on fears that the nation must
bear a greater tax than $4,000, 100000
for the fiscal year to carry on the war.

as congressional leaders were founder
ing in confusion as to how best to meet
the added $1,000, 900. 900. demanded this
week by the war department, Mr.. Nc
Adoo declared sit would be unwise to
go further in taxation at the present
time"
Conditions which might develop in
the future" he added, will determine
the question of further increases IN

is our plan to ask for $4,000, GOO, 900 in

MARSHAL FOCH resumed his
drive Wednesday on that portion of
the Hindenburg line between St.
Quentin and Cambria. The British
attacked between Holnon and GOuze-
aucourt, advancing about three
miles and taking 5000 prisoners.
They took the outposts of the line
north of Pontruet. The French, at
lacking with the British, took Dallon,
southwest of St. Quentin, barely two
miles from that important city. It's
capture by the allies now seems to
be imminent. Later reports say the
British took the outposts of the Hin
denburg line virtually from HOlnon
to GouzeaucOurt. The dotted line is
the Hindenburg line, the solid line
the present battle line.
