DAMASCUS Is rAKEN By
THE BRITISH FORCES
Syria's Capital Yalls From Grip Of
Prussianism Bsfore General
AAsnby Yestseday.

London. Oct. 2-DAmascus, the
capital of Syria, was occupied by
General Allenby's forces on Tues
day morning, accofadtffe y m 0f
ficial statement issued Wednesday
by the British war office.
Damascus Is the Turkish base in
Syria and Palestine and its fall
probably means the end OF all OF
Turkish resistance to General All
enby in Palestine and Syria. The
ancient city is the junction point
of railroads leading to the port OF
Beirut and TleppO, 1SO miles north
east.
Aleppo Is the most important
Turkish base in this region of Asia
Minor, as it is junction point of
the railroads from Palestine and
MesOpOtamia.
Damascus has population of
about 10000. 1t is one of the holy
cities of the MOhammedans and the
Arabs regard it as one of the four
paradises on earth.
The capture TO Damascus marks
an advance of 100 miles by General
Allenby's forces since Sept. 20. In
that time the British have captured
more than $4,000 prisoners. destroy
ed at least three Turkish armies
and driven the enemy from Pales-
tine and q great part of Syria.

st. Quentin Fails.

Paris, Oct. 2.-The French troops
now have passed beyond st. Quen-
tin. Northeast, east and southeast
of the town, according to the Ha-
vas agency, they hold line run
ming along the Somme from Tr6n-
quoy to Rouvroy and then along
the st. Quentin-La Fere road to
the River Disc at Vendeuil..
With the taking of st. Quentin
the cornerstone of the Hindenburg
system has fallen.
st. Quentin's fall shakes the en-
tire German system. It's effect will
be widespread. This will be accen-
tuated by the strong push that Is
being made in the upper Oise val
ley. The allies here are across the
waterways upon which
the enemy so largely based his de-
lenses. Before them lies the open
county, which is ideal for tanks.

Rev. Adam. In Hospital.

-
Rev. Robt. Adams, pastor of the
M. E. church, who had not been
feeling well for some days, on the
advice of his physician, finally went
to the Beth-Ell hospital at Colo
RADIO Springs last Saturday, where
he has since been resting quite
comfortably. His exact illness has
not been made known by the hos
pital physician, though he had ap-
parently been threatened with a
fever. A letter received by Mrs. Adj
ans from the hospital superinten-
dent Tuesday, stated that he was
doing as nicely as might be ex-
pected. Owing to Rev. Adams ILL.,
ness there will be no sermon at the
church at the morning or evening
hours Sunday. A message received
by Mrs. Adams this morning from
Miss Biggs, deaconess of the hos
pital, states that Mr.. Adams is suf-
ferirx from typhoid fever, but that
he Is having the best of care. OF
course, the length of his detention
at the hospital is now matter of
conjecture Excellent care, however,
should render his confinement
shorter than might otherwise be
the case.

CORNERSTONE HIMDENBuRG
SYSTEM HAS FALLEN
St. Quentin and Cambria Are In
Elames-0erman Line North
eastern France Doomed.

Last nights Denver Post publish
es the following:
Under the determined blows OF
Marshal Foch, the time of the ex-
pected German withdrawal from
France and Belgium apparently is
drawing appreciably nearer. With
the taking of st. Quentin, the cor
nerst0ne of the Hindenburg system
has fallen.
"Under the attacks of British,
French and American troops the
Hindenburg defense system from
the Scarpe to the Disc, distance
of so miles, is being overrun. In thc
north the valuable net work of rail
roads in Flanders rapidly is be-
coming useless and in the south
the French are pressing vigorously
their advance west and north OF
Rheims.
Northeast of st. Quentin the Brit
ish have advanced more than fiye
miles eastward from the front line
of the Hindenburg positions.
"St. Quentin and Cambria are in
flames and the fall of the latter will
probably mean the abandonment
of DOuai by the enemy. La Fere,
south of st. Quentin, seems to be
in peril and If that city is taken
by the allies, the Germans will
probably be forced to retire from
the st. Gobain forest and Laon.
When this occurcs the backbone OF
the German line In ftgrthesstrfp
France will be broken.
Far to the north the Belgians
are moving ahead with q steady
sweep, which seems to be directed
at Lille, but which, at the same
time, threatens the German subma-
rine base on the Belgian coast. If
Lille is outflanked the Germans
must retire far to the south of that
city. Continued progress will cut
the submarine bases off from rail
road communications. They are SO
valuable to the enemy, however,
that he may hurl large forces into
the battle in last effort to save
them"
