Drive Too Swift for Huns.


 London, Sept. 13.-General Persh- ing's forces in their attack on the southern side of the St. Mihiel salient have advanced for distance of eight miles The assault was made on a front of fourteen miles.
 The Americans were making rapid progress in their continuation of their drive.
 German prisoners say the American attack was expected, but that it was delivered so rapidly that they have no time to put up a stubborn resist ance when they were ordered to do so. Pannes, which was energetically defended by the Germans, was easily captured by the Americans.
 The Americans are reported to have captured Vigneulles, 71k miles north of Xivray, thru which the former line ran. General Pershing's troops also are said to have captured Beney, Haul dicourt and the Bois de Thiacourt.
 May Have Huns Trapped.
 If these places have been captured the neck of the St. Mihiel salient has narrowed to less than six miles and if the two German divisions reported last night to be in the salient still are there, it is decidedly improbable that they will be able to get away.
 The Germans are blowing up the ammunition dumps at Hatteville and Domboux.
 General Pershing's troops so far have captured $500 prisoners and have taken sixty German guns.
 On the west side of the St. Mihiel salient, where the country is much more difficult and where the German resistance has been more determined, the Americans have made an advance of three miles on twelve-nnile front.

Metz the Objective.

Washington, Sept. l3.--All interest of official Washington was eentered on the st. Mihiel salient in France, where General Pershing's forces from the first American army of a million and quarter men were driving for ward in their initial independent of fensive on the western front.
 There were some observers who be- lieved that the objective was the strongly fortified city of Metz, not far over the German border. A frontal attack on this position was hardly to be expected, but its envelopment was considered as logical part of what was thought to be Marshal Foch's general plan to outfank the enemy in this section as means of forcing his

RUSSIAN LEADERS COUNTRY
Uncle Sam Has Proof That Lenine and Trotzky Took German Gold and Enacted Role of Mod
 ern Judases.

Washington, Sept 14.-Proofs re- moving any doubts that Lenine and Trotzky, the Bolshevik leaders, are paid German agents--if indeed any doubts remain-are laid before the world today by the United States gov ernment in the first installment of an amazing series of official documents disclosed thru the Committee on Pub lie Information.
 Secured in Russia by American Agents, these documents not only show how the German government, thru it's imperial bank, paid it's gold to Lenine, Trotzky and their immedi- ate associates to betray Russia into deserting her allies, but give added proofs, if any by necessary, that Ger many had perfected her plans for war of world conquest before the as- .sassinations at Sarajevo, which, as the world is now convinced, convent ently furnished her pretext.
 E These documents further show that before the world war was four months old and more than two years before the United States government was drawn into it, Germany already was setting afoot her plans to mobilize destructive agents and observers" to cause explosions, strikes and outrages in this country and planned the em- ployment of anarchists and escaped criminals" for the purpose.
 Judas a Proper Parallel.
 Almost ranking in their sensational nature with the notorious Zimmerman note proposing war by Mexico and Japan upon the United States, which was first given to the world thru the Associated Press, these documents lay bare new strata of Prussian in- trigue, new view of the workings of kultur to disrupt the allies stand ing between the world and kaiserism. They disclosed new story of human treachery for gold which might al- most well be described without sacri- lege as placing its perpetrators on a pedestary with Judas and his 30 pieces of silver.
 The intrigue appears to have been carried down to the last detail of ar- engagement with typical German sys- tenn. It will be revealed completely in Q series Of seven articles furnished by the Committee on Public Informa- ton for publication each morning, be- ginning today, until the series is com plete.
 Germany Planned Revolution.
 Not only do the disclosures prove that Lenine, Trotzky and their band are paid German agents, they show that the Bolshevik revolution, which threw Russia into such an orgy of murder and excesscs as the world sell ,icm has seen, actually was arranged by the German General Staff. They show how the paid agents of Germany betrayed Russia at the Brest-Litovsk peace" conference; how German staff officers secretly have been re- eeived by the Bolsheviki as military advisers; how they have acted as spies upon the embassies of the nations with which Russia was at war or peace; how they effectually have di- reeted the Bolshevik foreign, domes- tic and economic policy wholly in the interest of Germany and the shame and degredation of Russia.

Germans Sought to Seize Islands.
 Washington, Sept. 19.--A potential German naval base in the Virgin Isl ands has been seized by the alien property custodian and will be used for the needs of the American navy and customs department. The base consists of land, buildings, docks, warehouses, large water tanks and cisterns, lighters, loading parapher- nalia and coaling facilities formerly owned by the Hamburg American line.
 In announcing seizure of the ma- rine plant. which is located at St Thomas, Palmer said that the fact that Germany considered it admitted of possibilities as a naval base ~was shown by the fact that their princi- pal building commanding the harbor is of reinforced concrete and the plaza in front of it is said to have an eight foot foundation of concrete fit for gun supplements"

USED CAR SALES
 BOOSTED BY WAR

That there will be continued activ- ity in the used car market, is the opinion of w. H. Grant of the Phoe- nix Auto Clearance House. "The government is curtailing the output of new cars to such a degree that a large percentage of the buyers in the future will have to depend on used cars,'' he continued. This win have a tendency to increase the price of used cars as well as the new ones. Buyers are advised to make their purchases now, as automobiles will never be any cheaper than at the present date.
 The Phoenix Auto Clearance House is an actual clearing house for the used cars of most of the principal dealers in Phoenix. Automobiles be- fore being taken in as part payment
 by these dealers are given one ap. praisement, which prevents the in- flation of their value Then they are put in first class running condi- tion and placed on sale in a common | salesroom. This enables buyers te

WILD FOWL BREED
 IN BAY OF ALASKA
(Kansas City JournaI.o

Until the acquisition of Alaska by the United States it was a wonder where certain wild fowl went when they migrated from temperate climes on the approach of summer, as well as snowbirds and other small species of the feathered tribe. It was after ward found that their habitat in sum- mer was the waters of Alaska - the Yukon river and the lakes of that hy- perborean region.
 People wonder where the wild fowl come from. They see the sandhill crane, the wild goose, heron and other fowl every spring and fall pursue their unwearied way, but, like the wind, they do not know whence they come or whither they go.
 Up on Glovine bay, on the north side of Norton sound, is the breeding place of these fowl. All the birds in creation, seemingly, go to that coun- try to breed. Geese, ducks, swans, and thousands upon thousands Of sandhill cranes are swarming the1 , all the time. They lay their eggs in the bluestem grass in the lowlands. Myriads of robbins and swallows are there, as well as millions of mag nificent grouse, wearing red combs and feather moccasins. This grouse turns as white as snow in winter.
 You can kill dozens of teal ducks | or grouse as fat as butterballs in a | few moments. The wild fowl and bears live on salmon berries and huckleberries, with which the hills are literally covered.

 ALL AT HOME ID AID

l.. B. Hitchcock, city engineer, re- ceived a letter several days ago from Henry C.. Duke. formerly of Phoenix. who served under MT. Hitch- cock while he was division superin- tendent of the Arizona Eastern rail- way. Henry Duke now is serving with company C, 18th railway engi- neers, who are stationed somewhere in France.
 In his letter to MT. Hitchcock, the engineer writes about the people of France and how they are bearing up under the conditions which now exist there. His words are: "A study of the habits and thoughts of the French people as we have the ex- ceptional opportunity to make. reveals (though, surprising as it may seem) an antiquity equal to that of the old buildings of which there are an end less abundance. Living conditions are not nearly so difficult for them at present as one would expect, in fact, you hear no complaint rather an oc- casional statement of how much easier things were before the war. am inclined to think that France be- fore the war was very much like our old South in its easy, care-fre- way
 He also writes in his letter just what the boys at the front are ex- pecting from those who stay at home and says: The papers today contain some rather unexpected news oi German success against the English on the front; this will be old news tc you before you get my letter, but il reminds me os a point that will in. terest you, in that such news has nc affect upon the boys over here othel than to make each man wish tha' the folks back home will realiz, that we are actually in the greates war the world has ever known [. uphold the fundamental basis of ou own democracy, the crushing of tha which would mean the ultimate dom | ination of autocracy and the iron rul the world over.
