Stirring Event At
Salvage Depot

Last Wednesday there drifted
through the front door Of the sal
wage depot, a modest, unpretentious
Panama hat. It was weary and head
core, and bore every evidence of hay

black band surrounded its crown,
and the passing years had touched
its brim with ochre. Only by great

mental picture of this unique. AS

long rest
Thirty minutes after the hat had
collapsed into this detected state, n
French gentleman of quality and
means gllded through the same door
"a gentleman with a round, friend
ly countenance, seeming to throw
o light, lantern-fashion, into the far
thermost hooks and corners.
As he sauntered around explorins
the depth of defunct "Eue de Vie"
bottles, a sudden transport of joy
seized him as he caught sight of the
lareain counter. "A la Francaise!"
he exclaimed, as he bent over and
touched with caressing fingers the
cchre Panama. Frantically he
searched the depts of his trousers
pockets for his wealth, and oh, how
his heart leaped with JOY as he drew
from a remote corner a bright, shiny
copper. Depositing this on the crown
of the hat he rushed into the street,
eager and anxious to find a friend

accurately portray the thoughts that
were rising within him.
Then ensued a rush for the sal
wage depot that made the annual

ElkS To The Front
In War Stamp Drive

The Yroka News says that a com
mittee composed of local members
of the B. p. o. Elks has undertaken
to raise $4,000 in three days. This
is the amount which Yreka, Green
horn and Hawklnsville is short in
making up this districts share in
the amount of s402,OOO from war
savings stamps asked from this Sis
kiyou county.
Mr.. Haight, representing the U. s.
treasury department, arrived in
Yreka Friday to see what could be
done to close up the savings stamp
drive. While the subscription period
does not close until the end of the
year the amount should he made up
before the time comes for another
0ond campaign.
The Elks being known everywhere
as enthusiastic aggressives, capable
of carrying forward to success mat =.
ters that to others would be all bur
impossible, Mr.. Haight appealed to
them to take up the job of raising
the deficiency, He put it up to them
so strongly that they agreed. At Il
meeting called Saturday morning 4
committee was appointed to have
charge of the work in four divisions
Of the district.
At this meeting, as a starter,
S2O5O was subscribed by Elks. The
work of canvassing the district is
now in progress.

American troops entered the
southern part of Fismes Saturday,
while other forces Of the allies hold
the southern banks of the Aisne ana
Vesle rivers from Scissors to Fismes.
Eastward it is almost straight
line through Courville, Branscourt,
Courcelles and Champigny.
The advance of the whole army
was along q front of almost IS miles
to a depth of six miles.
To the east of scissors the extern
zion of the line northward along the
Aisne as well as the extension OF the
general line, makes it probable, in
the opinion of military experts, that
the Germans will hesitate before
concentrating themselves for a stand
along the plateau to the east be-
tween the Aisne and the Vesle, as
the branch railroad from Sermoise
20 the north is now dominated by the
allied guns.
The broad field covered by the ad-
vance Saturday included at least 50
small towns and villages.
The great salient between Sois-
sons and Rheims, on the Aisne-
.Iarne front, in which terrific fight
ing has been going on for two weeks,
has been virtually cut by the allied
forces. French cavalry patrols now
are operating along the railroad run
ming between these two cities, con-
stituting the two pivotal points of
the previous German advance. The
American troops hold the outskirts
Of Fismes, the great supply base of
the German army.
The allies now hold the line of the
Vesle river from Rheims at least as
far as Braine. Beyond this town
the situation is somewhat obscured,
but it is known that the allies are
on the hills overlooking the Vesla
valley to the west and the north
west.
At Venizel, the allies hold the
south bank of the Aisne and their
lines extend westward through Sois-
sons to Pcmmiers.
There is no certainty that the Ger
mems will find the Aisne a bulward.
Advices from Paris indicate that the
Germans lines north of the river
are in dangerous situation. The
retirement may go on until the enc
nay is back again to the lines to the
north of the Chemin des ames
About Scissors, it is apparent the
Germans are strongly posted on the
hills to the north of the Aisne.
The retreat of the Germans has
been carried out with skill, and, up
Until Thursday, seemed orderly.
Ever since then there have been no

The entire net proceeds of the

In the statement issued by Gen.
March, he says:
"When | spoke to you last, on
Wednesday, the two opposing lines
had been nearly stationary and en-
gaGed in more or less desperate
lighting during July 80 and 81. Since
taat time, blows on both flanks we're
resisted by the Germans until, on
August ], heavy attacks by the Brit
ish and French on the Cadun plateau
south Of Scissors and further south
east around Deugneauy bent back
the enemy's line at this point for a
distance something like two miles.
The result of these blows on the
flarks forced a retirement along the
entire German front on August 2.
The perimeter of this gradually
diminishing salient has now come
down to rs miles on August ., from
"A miles at the start. The depth of
the enemys retirement Is now 16
miles.
During this advance, beginning
with the counter offensive, we have
had eight United States divisions
now engaged, First, Second, Third,
Fourth, Twenty-siyth, Twenty-eighth
Thirty-second and Forty-second. We
have located definitely the troops
which were engaged agal nst the
Fourth Prussian guards. They were
the Forty-second division, the Rain
how division.
THE objective OF our forces Is
still the enemy army and the success
Of the advance is indicated by the
confidential cablegram which | am
going to read to you:
IN officer Of General Muir
(26th) division, just returned from
Fere-en-Tardenolg, reports that ii
does not seem possible for an army
ta4haye gathered as many guns, as
much ammunition as the Germans
had abandoned in their retreat
which had been so hasty that they
had not time to bury their dead
The ground was so covered with
corpses that 1t was impossible to ad-
vance without walking over them,
and further that the advance of the
2Sth division had been extremely
rapid, in spite of the fact that their
position was some distance from the
nearest railroad, L."

CLEAR OF DISEASE
Special to The Evening journal.

| Special TO The Evening Journal.
NEWARK, Del, Sept. 26-Aithough an
official of Delaware College stated on
Tuesday that there were but four cases
OF Spanish influenza among the mem
bers Of the Students Army Training
Corps and several suffering with slight
{ colds, there were at east % TO 80 cases
last night with the list growing. u now
develops that there were about Is cases
on Tuesday (sOme Of them slight and
al least that many more were reported
to the army surgeon in charge yester-
day.
While most Of the cases TO date are
slight, yet in a few instances the pa
tients are running a fever OF i03 and
over. There have been no cases to
date that have developed into pneumO-
mia. Most OF the patients are in the In
Urinary, but there are also a number
on the third floor OF Harter Hall and
several in the different "frat" houses.
The students are quarsntlned as close
ly as possible. There has not been a
case developed TO date among the two
hundred conscripted men in the Indus
trial Training Camp. They have been
here since OF the first OF this month and
because OF the fact of no eases among
the conscripted man, 10 IS now thought
tnat the disease was brought here by
the students VINO arrived last week
when college opened.
The students as far as possible, are
isolated from the Industrial Training
Csmp men and are not allowed TO use
the gymnasium where some Of the lat
ter have sleeping quarters. A number
OF the students who have had the "flu"
for several days are much improved
and will be discharged today or to-
morrow.
The Women's College is still under
quarantine as a precautionary measure,
although not case OF influenza has de-
velOped there. Dean Winifred J. Rob-
inson stated last night.
There are also a large number Of
csses Of the disease among residents Of
Newark and outlying districts. All the
local physicians have been busy night
and day for several days attending these
cases. IL Is estimated that there are
about 40 cases in Newark and vicinity |

RAILROAD TRAFFIC HEAVY.

Though railroad passenger rates
have been increased by % per cent. in
quirles at the local ticket Offices reveal
that travel is 30 per cent heavier than
before the higher rates went into ef-
feet. The travelling public apparently
Is on the so now more than ever. Di-
rector General McAd0o has repeatedly
asked the public TO curtail travel by
rail. but the admonition has been un-
needed, at least locally.
