CORNERSTONE OF HIN
DENBURG SYSTEM
HAS FALLEN
Capture of St. Quentin Shakes the
Entire Line.


Paris, Oct. g. St. Quentin is
taken and the cornerstone of the
Hindenburg system is fallen. Thanks
to the prodigious and unrelenting
efforts of the armies of General De-
beney and General Rawlinson, un-
der the general direction OF General
Fayole, that fine soldier who COM
mands the group OF armies in that
sector, it is a most rcsounding tri-
umph. But it is not the only place
where victory smiles upon the allied
arms.
Belgian forces strongly opposed,
are making headway toward Roulers
and Menin. The Germans are pre-
pairing to evacuate the Lille region.
British armies around Cambria are
successfully lighting one OF the fier-
cest battles OF the war. General
Berthelot is driving the enemy back
between Rheims and the AiSne, and
General Bourad has reached Chal-
lerang, the important railroad CEN
ter at the western opening OF Grand
Pre- gap.
St. Quentin's fall shakes the
whole German system. Its effect
will be widespread. This will be ac-
centuated by the strong push that
is being made in the upper Disc val
ley. The allies here are across the
multiple water ways upon which the
enemy so largely based his defenses.
Before them lies the open country,
which is ideal for tanks.
Crown Prince Is Blocked.
Under the circumstances the hold
ing by the crown princes armies Of
their positions on the Ailette and
the AiSne is out of the question. Out
thanked from the north and harricd
by General Mangin. who is now
along the Aisne as far as south of
Craonne, the crown princes armies
are in much graver position than
were those of Generals Won Boehm
and Won Hutier on the Marne and
the Avre in July. The same danger
threatened the armies opposing
Gouraud.
Thus the first logical result OF the
capture of t. Quentin must be the
retreat of the enemy from the Laon-
nois and Champagne sectors if he
wishes to escape disaster. But it
will not be enough that their line
breaks up under the blows OF the al
lies. A general German retreat be-
comes more and more imperative.
The problem for General Ludendoril
is how to prevent it from being CON
verted into 4 disaster, which is the
usual sequel OF a retirement OF
masses closely engaged in a for
struggle.

AMERICANS AND HUNS
IN BUSHWHACKING FIGHT
Pershing's Men Move Forward Over
Holly Contested Sectors.

With the American Army in
France. Oct. lit was reported late
tonight that the Americans on the
front between the Meuse and the
Argonne had again moved forward
over one of the most hotly contest
ed sectors of their advance, the
ground north and west Of Monttau-
con.
The situation on the American
front along the Brieulle-B Binarville
line running from the Meuse
throu the Argonne) remained virtu-
ally unchanged today from yester-
dav. 1t still is evident that the Ger
mans estimate fullt the nature OF
the American effort and are hurry
ing up all available reserves. This
is true not only of the enemy artill-
cry and infantry, but also OF the air
forces. During the day, German air
planes began appearing over the
American lines. the assumption be-
ing that these machines had been
withdrawn from other fronts in an
effort TO minimize the American
supremacy OF the last few days.
Weather For Airfnen Is Bad.
Weather conditions were far from
favorable for the airmen, so that
little could be accomplished. Ii
anything the American aviators,
with characteristic enterprise more
than held the upper hand.
During the day, ,he chief activ-
ity OF the Americans was in holding

the heavily wooded ground OF the
Argonne. west OF the forest itself,
the fighting became reduced to mere
bushwhacking tactics. This is a
form OF warfare in which the Amer
leans with their individual initiative
are second to none. Thus although
numerous small bodies OF Germans
infiltrated through the lines toward
the American rear, the Americans
were easily able to take care'of them.
Numerous observers have reported
a general movement, especially
across the Meuse westward nom
Brieulles. Its direction is along the
river toward the north and then to-
ward the apex of the American line.

Perhaps it should be explained
that when a German militarist
says 'honorably" he means success
fully. In modern Germany any
thing you can get away with IS

GOVERNMENT WILL SEE
THAT CROP Is GARNERED

Lorne Wilde, director of publicity
for the federal food administration,
upon his return to Fargo from Wash
inEton this week after a, conference
with food administration officials.
stated assurances were made by
Herbert Hoover that IL the farmers
grow a large crop the government
will see that it is safely garner
ed.
Farmers who raise wheat, barley
and oats were asked by the. federal
food administrator to continue to
raise these crops to their utmost
capacity" said Mr.. Wilde. Farm
ers who raise corn are asked to con-
tinue to raise corn, and the same Is
true about potatoes. Mr.. Hoover
declared that the farmers Of the ma
ton are patriotic and will raise one
Of the greatest crops ever produced
this year"
The federal food administration
officials said that any attempt to
direct production along other channels
would tend to upset the balance and
result in more harm than good.
