With the Allied Forces in Belgium.
British, French and Belgian troops
il their offensive begun in Belgium,
have aptured more than 10000 pris-
cners and have taken more than 100
guns.
!, Advanced allied troops have signal
ed that they are from sig to seven
miles inside the German positions
Heavy rain fell in Flanders through
out the night, tending to turn the bat
tlefields into seas of mud. The low
hanging clouds show no signs of clear
ing. a continuation of the steady
downpour would undoubtedly result
in slowing up the battle.
Gen. Plumer's troops pushing for
ward in Belgium have captured 1928
prisoners, including 131 officers. They
have taken more than so guns and a
regular harvest of mortars and ma
hine guns. The allied drive in Fland-
ers has been resumed, the troops
striking out from the advanced line
reached after the first day of their
successful offensive.
The fighting continued throughout
the night and at various places Sc
we're resistance was encountered, but
at most points the British, French
and Belgians pressed forward. In this
region the battle may be said to be
almost as much against the weather
and the mud as against the Germans.
But while this sort of sticky. ground
hampers the allied troops, it binders
even more the enemy, who is trying
to move his materials away under a
heavy fire and through the mired
ground of the Flanders lowlands.
The Belgian-French line now runs
from Handzeeme to Peereboom to
Borne to Thourout, from the Corte-
marck road to Helle, to Leerbosch, to
Drievwegan to GIFTS, to Gittsburg, 10
Reveran to Huldhoek, east of the
Roulers-Lys Canal to Iseghem to
Boschmolens, and the allied forces in
the outskirts of Lendelede..
The British forces holding the Co
mines bridgehead have been fired
upon heavily and have withdrawn a
few hundred yards for the moment.
OF the prisoners captured by the III
lied armies in Flanders more than
5000 were taken by the Belgians.

MANY ATTRACTIONS
BOOKED FOR FAIR
MANAGEMENT FEELS THEY HAVE
EVERY REASON TO EXPECT TO
BREAK THE 1918 RECORD.
OCT. 80 TO NOV. 4 INCLUSIVE
Patriotic Color wei Be Especially in
Evidence During Fair, For the State
Fair of Louisiana Is Dedicated To
Service of U. S. Government.

With practically all space in
the mammoth new $4,000 agri-
cultural building assigned, numer-
Gus reservations made in the
swine. cattle, horse and sheep de-
partments, also in the poultry, Gull
nary, textile, exposition and other ex-
hibit departments, and many conceS-
sions sold and an abundance of fine
attractions booked, the management
feels that they have every reason to
expect the 1918 State Fair of Louis
lana, October 80 to November 4, in
elusive, to smash all previous records.
With reduced railroad rates offered
on all lines as an inducement in adj
dition to the splendid aggregation OF
entertainments that have been con-
tracted for, the expectation is that
this years fair will be the biggest
and best ever held at Shreveport.
Patriotic color will be especially in
evidence during the fair, for the State
Fair of Louisiana is dedicated to the
service of the United States Govern
ment. Approaching the value of the
fair in encouraging greater food pro-
duction and conservation and aiding
other war activities, the government
is going to place a mammoth War Elk
hibit at this years fair. The exhibit,
representing all departments of the
Federal Government and especially
featuring the work of the Army and
Navy, will be absolutely free.
Another unusually interesting exhib-
it calling attention to the govern
ment's war activities will be display
of food conservation work, for which
five hundred square feet of space have
been assigned in the new agricultural
building. The food administrators OF
Louisiana have been called to meet
at the fair October 81, which day has
been designated Food Administration
Day. The same day will be known as
Hoover day, in honor Of Hon. Herbert
C. Hoover, the nations food chief,
who has accepted an invitation to be
present The food administrators of
the Southern States, as well as their
governors, have been invited to be
present on this occasion for a confer
ence with Mr. Hoover, who is scred-
uled to speak at the Fair Grounds at
o'clock in the afternoon, October 81.
In honor of the young men who are
determined to risk everything, sac
rificing their lives if need be, for the
cause of humanity as represented in
the war against Germany and its "kul-
tur'. the Louisiana State Fair Assc-
citation will admit free to the fair
grounds every day of the fair all sol
diers, sailors and others wearing the
military uniforms of Uncle Sam and
the other Entente nations. The Civil
War Veterans, wearers of the blue
and the gray, will also be admitted
free throughout the fair.
The fireworks spectacle, the
Worlds War, to be given each
night, will reproduce scenes from
the world war, and promises to be the
most stupendous and spectacular at
TRACTION of the kind ever seen in this
part of the country.
The fair will be formally opened by
Governor r. G. Pleasant, October 30.
