stand Hammer Blows of Allies

London, Oct. 1.-THE men of the
once formidable German armies
holding the Hindenburg line from
north OF Cambria to st. Quentin ara
facing eastward, defeated and in re-
treat. Their backs are the targets
for the British, American and French
troops, who bitterly fought them,
step by step, out of supposedly i'm
pregnable defenses, and now are
marrying them across the open couu-
try toward the German border. No
where is the enemy attempting a
stand in force.
True, the German border is yet a
long distance away. but the past two
days OF chase have materially de-
creased the width of the area separ-
ating the invaders from their own
Rhine line.
LIE Chateau, the important juno
tion point IL miles southeast of
Cambria, represented Thursday
night the point OF deepest penetra-
ton by the allied troops. The Brit
ish were the masters of it. All along
the front, however, the British, Am
erican and french have been stead
ly pressing forward their infantry
forces, taking numerous towns and
villages, while far in advance of them
the hoof beats of the cavalry horses
intermingle with the roars of the
whippet tanks and the staccato mark
ing OF machine guns inside the NOV
ing forts.
So fast has been the retreat of
the enemy that at various points the
allied forces afoot lost contact with
them. The retreat, which is over a
front of about 35 miles from the
south of Douai to the region east of
st. Quentin, has left in the hands
Of the allies, in addition to the towns
taken, valuable lines of communica-
ton and strategic position of high
Importance and driven in a wedge
that seemingly will force the Ger
mans to fall back every where from
he North Seat to the vicinity OF
Verdun.
Southeast of Douai, one of the re-
naming strong points in the Ger
nan line in the north, the British are
standing in Etrun. l2 miles south
vest of Valenciennes, the pivotal
'oint in the enemy's known next de-
ense line. and 10 miles to the south
he city is outflanked at Solesmes.

HUNS LACK SHOE LEATHER.
Use of Substitutes for Solely May Be
Necessary for Years.

Very little genuine shoe leather
can be found in Germany at the pres
ent time, and it is expected the people
Of Germany will be compelled to ac-
cept substitutes for q number Of years
after the end Of the war, according to
a report by the Department of Com
merce. The Substitute Shoe Sole Com
pany of Berlin. is one of the out
growths of the war.
1t is said the number Of such firms
will greatly increase and that 150,-
000. 900 soles for old shoes already
have been made Of substitute mate
rial. Among the varieties of substi-
tute leather shown in a recent exhi-
hilton at Frankfort was a mixture of
old rubber, canvas and felt. But even
these materials are becoming scarce
in Germany.
The wooden shoe is seen in fash
ionable. as well as plebeian. circles,

OCCOQUAN PRISONERS
MAY DIG GRAVES HERE
Workhouse Inmates May Be Draft
ed by Commissioners to Relieve
Conditions in Cemeteries.

It is possible that prisoners doing
short terms in the District workhouse
at Occoquan, Va, will be drafted by
the Commissioners and brought to
Washington to dig graves in the
cemeteries Of the city.
The suggestion has been made to
the health officials as q means Of re-
nsvfng the situation confronting the
manasements Of all the Warrington
cemet@ieat Who are unable to peovids
graves tor the bwytnS Of tho largo
number Of dead from influenza.
A similar condition In Alexandrfa,
Va. has been mot by the mayor Of
Of the citys chain gang to do the
work Of grave digging.
It appears that the only obstacle IN
the way Of applying the labor Of
workhouse prisoners to the grave
digging situation is tho distance they
would have to be brought to the city
and then their care and guarding.
Tho latter could. however. be lro-
vided, for at tho District Jail

FOR LOAN AID
Secretary Torrey Asks All Tennis
Clubs to Help Sell Lib
erty Bonds. -,

NEW YORK, October 14.-Through
Edwin Fuller Torrey, its secretary,
the United States National Lawn Ten
mis- Association has appealed to its
members to assist personally and
stimulate interest in the fourth liberty
loan. In q letter addressed to all
clubs and members Of the national
organisation Mr.. Torrey asks that all
tennis enthusiasts assist in making
good the slogan, Double the Third"
In one part OF the letter Mr. Torrey
writes:
"It is a safe prophecy that If each
club belonging to the national asso-
citation will, upon receipt of this COM
munication, call together its members
at a special meeting and inaugurate a
special campaign, the results accom-
plished will surprise even the most
optimistic.
1.-The national association holds in
its treasury securities representing
former issues of the liberty loan, and
every club belonging to the national
association may quite properly at this
time lend its name and it's credit to
the government, going the limit in
thus assisting in winning the war"

the war is over they will keep on run
ming until they reach Berlin. with
American, French and British troops
right after them, Edward N. Hurley.
chairman Of the shipping board, said
today at a luncheon given by the
Fifth Avenue Association to diplo-
mats and representatives of the gov
ernment. The party stopped here on
its way from Washington to Newark,
N. J., to witness the launching of two
cargo carriers, the Allies and the
Consort, named by Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson in honor Of the entente allies:
t'You haven't noticed any let-down
on the part Of our Army in France"
Mr.. Hurley said. ''They are quite will
ing to let the President of the United
States handle the diplomatic and ex-
ecutive end Of this war. They are
taking advantage of the peace move
in Germany by running the enemy off
his feet. And that is what we must
do here.
The effect of an oversubscription to
the fourth liberty loan on the enemy
will be equal to smashing knockout
blow on. the western front. and will
bring ultimate victory nearer to
hand"
