Draft EVader Is Killed
In Barn At Polly
Is Miles From Owen

Polly is about twenty-five miles
northwest of Owen and the terri
tory that has been thoroughly combed
for the defiant brothers ever since
their escape.
Details of the death of Ennis Krue-
ger are meager, but there apparently
is little question but what he was
the hands of government man.
Louis Kruger, %, and Leslie
Kruger, 26 years old, the two broth
ers still at liberty, are not known to
have been with Ennis at the time his
hiding place was found, so far as
could be learned at an early hour
Sunday night.
Two in Custody
Frank Kruger, SO years old. the
older brother, who was wounded dur
ing the fighting at the home of his
mother, Mrs. Louise Krueger, 65 years
old, is in the custody of the authori-
ties at Eau Claire.
In connection with the killing of
Ennis Kruger it is noted that the
edict went out from Washington q
few days after the brothers had
eluded the authorities that the search
for them must not fail, and it is EVIL
dent the still hunt has been prosecut-
ed with a vigor that practically
makes certain the arrest or death Of
the two men still at large.

ALLIES Win
BALKAN BASE
St. Quentin, in France, Is Hard
Pressed, and Fall of City Is Ex-
pected Soon

| Prilep, the main base of the routed
Bulgarian armies i'm Macedonia, thir
, ty-one miles northeast of Monastir
has been entered by French cavalry
! the Paris war Office announces.
All the way between the region
north Of Monastir and the Belasica
range the Bulgarians are in wild
panicky flight With them picked Ger
man units, including the Eleventh di-
vision, which were to save the day
are retreating. German officers, in
furiated by the collapse of King Fer
dinands main forces, are trying vain
ly to inject the much vaunted Prus-
, sian discipline into their despairing
comrades in arms. But the wholesale
executions of would-be deserters only
add to the panic.
Tanks, for the first time used in
that distant theater of the war, are
striking added terror into the hearts
of the fleeing Bulgars.
The campaign has been carried into
Bulgaria. British cavalry is dashing
toward Strumnitza, fifty-five miles
northwest Of Salonika.
MANY PRISONERS TAKEN
From north of Monastir to the east
ern edge of the Belasica ridge, the
front along which the Bulgars have
been put to rout, the distance is fully
100 miles.
Nearly a dozen important towns
and villages have been occupied by
the pursuing Serbs, Italians, British
and Greeks-in the last twenty-four
hours.
The number of prisoners is hourly
increasing.
The booty is so large it cannot yet
be enumerated. Immense quantities
OF food, gasoline and large numbers
of automobiles and airplanes have
fallen to the allies.
The Serbians alone have advanced
sixty miles since the drive started and
have taken 10000 prisoners and lao
gums. Among the latter are three
giant railway cannon.
IS Cut On Foe'S Escape
Serbian horsemen are far to the
northeast of Prilep, where they have
cut off the eastern avenues Of escape
for the Bulgarians.
The Italians yesterday alone ad-
vanced more than ten miles and took
twenty villages.
The Greeks, moving northward in
the Vardar valley, likewise have made
ten miles progress.
The British yesterday were three
miles northwest of Doiran, which they
reached the day before.
One half Of the Gradsko-Prilep
road is in possession Of the Serbians,
though they have also crossed the
Vardar along a fifteen-mile front.
Gain in Palestine
In Palestine the British army under
Sir Edmund Allenby is rounding up
what remains of the Turkish Nabulus
armies. The seaport of Acre, twenty
two miles northeast of Nazareth, is in
British hands, as is Haifa.
At the edge of the Syrian desert,
east of the Jordan, the Turks are be-
ing driven toward Amman, on the
Hejas railway. Their retreat beyond
that town appears cut off, for the Brit
ish are in Es-Salt, fifteen miles north
west of Amman.
