THREE GREAT CITIES
 FREED FROM ENEMY
 TRIUMPH FOR ALLIES

to the Dutch frontier. It is therefore reasonable to expect that it's retreat across Belgium will be rapid and that King Albert will re-enter his capital earlier than was hoped.
 At the very moment the Flanders battle was won another offensive was started in the direction of Hirzon and Vervins, by Anglo-American and French forces. The object is to take the armies of the crown prince, under helter of the Funding line, on the flank, and force them to an early re- treat towards the Ardennes across the front of the powerful Allied right wing.
 The way back to Germany lies through two bottle necks separated by the Ardennes---the one between Liege and Dinant and the other between Montmedy and Verdun. The latter already is partially blocked. While it may be admitted that the Germans are fighting well and con. ducting their retreat with great skill military opinion here is that the great German military machine is in dan. i ger of collapse.

Women all over the world realize mora and more that their work at home will help the men at the Front. It involves great sacrifices, hard work and unusual physical strength. Women at home should study nursing for war and for the home. A good way to learn is to ask your druggist for g copy or send Soc to publishers of the ''Nfed- ical Adviser" 663 Main St., Buffalo, N. r., and get copy of their 1000 page book bound in cloth,e with chapters on First Aid, Taking Care of the Sick or Wounded, Physiology, Hygiene, Anato- my, Sex Problems, Mother and Babe. Nobody, man or woman, can do good work when health is impaired. If a woman is nervous or has dizzy spells, suffers from awful pains at regular or irregular intervals she should turn to tonic msde up of herbs, and without alcohol, which makes weak women strong and sick women well. It is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Now sold bypharmacists m liquid or tablets. Send 10 cents to Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Yy for trial package of the tablets.
 Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a true friend to women in times of trial and at times of pain when the organs are not performing their functions. For head ache, backache, hot flashes, catarrhal con- dition, mental depression, dizziness, faint ing spells, lassitude or exhaustion, women should never fail to take this tried and true woman's medicine.

Paris, Oct. 1S.--Lille, Douai and Os- tend, three great cities, have been de- livered from the enemy. This is the most glorious day for the Allies since the Battle of the Marne, and it fit tingly terminates wonderful battle of three months which was opened by General Mangin's victorious coun- ter offensive, Jdly IS.
 Many cities have been liberated and hundreds of spare miles of territory retaken. The British south of Le Ca teau have broken into the German po- sittons and now threaten the Funding line. The whole German defense sys- tenn eastward to the. Mouse is in peril.
 The road to Brussels is open. Ac- cording to latest advices the French and Belgian armies are advancing rapidly towards Bruges and Ghent. The capture of Ostend makes 1t pps- sibIe to land endorsements and throw powerful forces against the ex- treme right of the German army.
 General von Arnin's army no longer is strong enough to sustain operations on the extended front from the French

RICH HUN BANKER HELD FOR TRADING WITH THE ENEMY

Havana, Thursday, Oct. 17-Henry Upmann, prominent German banker, of Havana, president of the German club, and one of the richest men in Cuba, Is being held in communicate in his residence here in connection with the general rounding up by the Cuban secret service department of enemy subjects, whose names have figured in the trading with the enemy blacklists.
 A careful search of Upmann's resi- dence to connect him with German propaganda apparently failed to pro- duce evidence of seriously incrimin- ating nature. Two maps of the west ern front, an autograph letter from the German Kaiser and caricatures of the Belgium King as said, how ever, to have been found among his effects

HELEN KELLER'S APPEAL.

Miss Helen Keller has issued a stir ring appeal to the American people to buy Liberty Bonds. In buying bonds, she says, we will be doing our part to help the boys overseas who are fight ing for us.
 ''The long night of humanity is over and done," says Miss Keller. "The air is tremulous with the soundIess feet of the new day. I tell you, the hour of deliverance for all men is al hand. The purpose of the ages is being fulfilled. Mans hope of lih- erty, so long thwarted, crushed and smothered, is coming with the new day. Men and women are growing more and more conscious of, their power and united in their purpose When they gain their economic free dom they will have achieved what is now but a dream.
 T have never believed so thorough ly in the people and their right tc self-government, and it is for that that I stand before you and ask you to buy Liberty bonds to bring about the fulfllment of this dream'

PREPARES TO QUIT UKRAINE.

Stockholm, Oct. 1S-According to a Petrograd dispatch, Germany has manifested the intention to begin me- gotiations with the Maximalist gov ernment in order to obtain compensa- ton in exchange for evacuation of the Ukraine. This has excited political quarters In Kiev, as the government .uc General Skoropadski, the Ukrainian dictator, realizes that its fall is certain if the German troops leave.
 M. Zinovieff. president of the Pet rograd Commune, declared that M Dorochenko, the Ukrainian Foreign Minister, had proposed to enter into an agreement with the Maximalist government in order to prepare for all eventualities.

GUEST OF ELKS.

Sergt J. M. Barker, who recently returned from the front, was the guest of the Elks' lodge at their first winter entertainment held last night at the Elks' home on State street. He addressed the members of the lodge and told some of his experiences while at the front. Sergt. Barker also spoke at the local theatres last even ing and helped the Minute Women raise subscriptions for the Liberty Loan.

in full retreat toward Antwerp.
 over wide section of the front in Belgium and northern France, the British, French and Belgium armies have swept forward with relentless speed, crushing rear guard detach- ments left behind by the Germans to retard pursuit. Immense quantities of materials have been captured by the Allies and the number of prison CTS taken steadily is mounting.
 The allied forces farther south also have been moving ahead. Two American contingents are reported operating on the front east of Cam brai and St. Quentin. One is working with the British and Is aiding in the advance into the German defenses east of LeCateau. The other is with the French and Is materially assisting in the attempt to smash in the right flank of the German salient northeast of Laon.
 On both these regions, German re- sistance is very stubborn. Farther south the enemy evidently Is making Q stand until the forces retreating from Laon can escape.
 Continued rains have retarded the American advance in the Argonne sector. General Pershings mon have gained ground east of the Agonne sector, nevertheless. Cote Chattel- lon, a dominating point, has been taken and positions near 1t are solid ly held by the Americans.
 Germany Is expected to send re- joinder to President Wilson's reply to the peace proposals of Prince Maxi milan. It Is reported that the note was sent last night. Field Marshal von Hindenburg is said to be willing to participate in framing the note.
 Rumors to the effect that the Field Marshal virtually dictated the first peace note sent from Berlin to Wash ington will be recalled in connection

COUNT TISZA SAVED.

Amsterdam, Oct. 1S.---As Count Ste- phen Tisza, former Hungarian Pre- n1ier, was leaving the Lower House of Parliament at Budapest Wednesday a youth approached his motor car with a revolver. according to a des- patch received here from the Hun garian capital. Count Tisza's chauf- feur struck the would-be assassin down before he was able to fire.
 Count Tisza's assailant was arrest ed. He gave his name at Lejtner and said he was 21 years of age and an official in the Food Department. He said he had intended to attack Paul von Hintze, whose resignation as Ger man Secretary for Foreign Affairs re- gently was reported, during his visit to Budapest, but that Admiral von Hintze had left before he was able to accomplish his purpose.
 MT. Wilson must look out not to waste the paper supply by writing notes to Germany.
