STOCKHOLM HEARS
KAISER ABDICATES
Stockholm, Oct. 10 - There is
n persistent rumor here that En-
peror William has abdicated.

in of German reserves.
Not the least interesting develop
ment of the American campaign Is
the work of the air forces, which
evidently have been assembled IN
such numbers that an American
bombing expedition which dropped
more than thirty tons of bombs on
German areas on Wednesday COM
prised no less than $50 machines
Crossing the st. Quentin-Le Cateau
railroad, the French forces operat-
ing south of the Americans and Brit
ish along the line where the Hin
denburg system has been smashed,
have captured Marcy and have
reached Fontaine, Notre Dame and
Fonsommes, well east of the rail-
road. They also have occupied
Etaves wood and the village of Boo
quiauX, farther north.
Advance Cuts Railroad
Marcy is approximately five
miles east of st. Quentin and is
directly south of the line on which
the British and Americans were fight
ing yesterday. This advance cuts
the railroad by which the Germans
north of st. Quentin could escape
from the net being thrown about
| them, and marks a new step in
the operation of outflanking the
Laon salient.
British and Yankees Triumph
British and American forces have
won a complete, victory southeast
and east of Cambria. Reports from
the. front state that the Allies are
marching eastward through burning
towns in pursuit of the enemy. At
some points the German rear
guards, lighting desperately. are be-
ing wiped out.
Cambria has fallen, and with that
city collapses the German line along
a front which probably will extend
as far as Douai, or even farther
southwark There is nothing to in
dicate that the Germans intend to
make stand anywhere in this re-
gion, airmen reporting that their
columns have been seen far toward
the Belgian frontier.
Through the break in the German
lines between st. Quentin and Cam
brai the Allies seem to be pouring
like the sea through shattered
dixie All reports from the front re-
fleet a condition which may result
i'm a general retreat of the enemy,
with his troops near Laon rapidly
being cnveloped.
Yankees Break German Lines
American fighting between the
Meuse and the Argonne forest again
have broken the German lines
reaching a point from which they
can see level ground ahead. This
advance was made near Romagne,
on the line west of the Meuse. East
of the river, the Americans slowly
are forcing the enemy back from his
positions from which he has heavily
shelled the American troops fighting
northward against the Kriemhild
line.
Savage Fighting in Champagne
In the Champagne sector the Ger
mans are fighting savagely to hold
up the French pursuit of the
enemy forces which are being with
drawn toward the north. Along the
Suippe, northeast of Rheims. the
French have gained new footheids
spite of heavy German counter
attacks.
Turkeys Withdrawal Near
Advices received in allied coun-
tries are believed to indicate that
Turkey will withdraw from the war
very soon. Twefik Pasha, under
stood to be pro-Ally in his SYM
pahties, is said to have been chosen
as the grand vizier in succession to
Talaat Pasha.
Stockholm reports that there are
persistent rumors there that En-
peror William of Germany has
abdicated.
