COMMUNITY COUNCIL

a Last Tuesday night about fifty men and women of Springdale met at the Audiaorium for the purpose of or ganizing a Community Council, but after a consultation 1t was decided to defer the organization until we could bring together larger rep resentative number of the citizens.

 This Community Council organiza- tion is not optional with us; it has been endorsed by the President and or dered by the Governor of the State.
 There is a National Council. under the direction of the secretaries of the War Cabinet; there is a State Council and there are County Councils.

But never for one moment. does the heart quail CT the Spirit know fear, for We are borned by the knowledge that the country of our birth, that country which has democracy, equality, and liberty, IS always esponsed the principles of throwing the weight of her balance into this fray, and one feels always that the mighty weight of the arms of the Allies, will crush beyond all power of resurrection, the ambition for world domination which annl- mates the force of German arms.
 Never can any act of justice be meeted out; never can any sentence of punishment be fulfilled which can in one whit palliate the horrors, or blot out the memory of the atrocities of the Germans.
 But one thing must be; and only one eventuality must close the final chapter of this awful struggle The force of Allied arms must strike down for all time, the arrogant lm- pudence of the paranoric ruls of the German States, and make sure that never again will it be possible for one man or set of men to force thelr Will mon a nation or try to force 1t upon the world.

Upon the person of dead German soldier, found on the field of battle was found the severed hands of a woman grasping baby hand in a death grip. As the flesh had set, the baby's hand was held clasped in it's mothers hand On the woman's hand were several expensive rings and the beast who had done this brutal act had not taken time to remove the jewels. one can readily picture the scene of the mother, fighting against impos- sioie odds, to save herself and her baby, and of now she was thus bru- tally mutiliated-for all We know even while yet alive.

R Fritts of New York, Lieutenant Car Buck of Kelly Field, Lieutenant N. P Bluett of Camp Hancock, Ga, and W E. Bartels. of the University of Penn sylvania finished iu order named.

Hordes of Turks Made Prisoners
Aviators Bomb Constantinople

To add to the demoralization of the Turkish morale, ilaled aviators are carrying out successful bombing raids against Constantinople.
 Over front of 80 miles in southern Serbia, from Monastir to Lake Doiran the entente troops are vigorously as sailing the Bulgarians and Germans. Already in the swift drive in the center great spearhead has been pushed across the Istib- Prilep road, severing communications between the Bulgari- an army northeast of Monastir and that in the Lake Doiran region. Unof- ficial reports are to the effect that the Serbs have taken between 5000 and 10000 prisoners and 120 guns. Enemy Troops in Full Retreat
 In the region between Monastir and | the Vardar the enemy troops are in | full retreat before the Italians, French and Serbians, while west of Doiran the British are steadily hammering their way forward driving the enemy north ward toward the Bulgarian frontier Already the enemy line from Doiran to a point west of the Vardar has been evacuated. This force of the enemy with the railroad to the north severed | seemingly is in danger of an envelop- l ing movement unless it turns sharply eastward and presses into Bulgaria | through the mountains.
 British and French Advance Not so spectacular but of vital i'm portance, have been the operations o1 the French and British from the soutf of St Quentin to Cambrai. Both the French general, Debeney, and Fiel6 Marshal Haig have won highly es- sential ground in the maneuvers Whicf have as their objective the oblitera, tion of the Hindenburg line, the capture of St. Quentin and the turning of tho German line at Laon.
 South of St. Quentin the French have advanced their line to the west banl of the Disc canal over front of three miles and now completely outflank St Quentin on the south and Lafere or the north.
 Meanwhile Field Marshal Haig nortl of St. Quentin around the village O Epehy has taken strong positions iron the enemy.

NOT SURPRISED AT
 RECEPTION IF HIS
 PEACE NOTE-BUR|AN

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 23.-(By The Associated Press).-In an interview with Theodore Wolff in the Berlin Tageblatt, Baron Burian, Austro Hun garian foreign minister, said he was not surprised at the reception of his peace note; naturally he did not suppose the entente would straightaway declare readiness to enter into peace negotia- tions.
 Tn a situation like the present. " continued the minister it is some times necessary to clarify things by means of reagents. The note was such a re-agent. It has already produced remarkable phenomena and will do so still more in the near future.
 Very extraordinary. for instance was the remarkable rapidity of Presi- dent Wilson's reply. Clearly. President Wilson wanted to anticipate the other entente governments. lie always had the ambition to be a world arbiter and has not abandoned that ambition since the United States entered the war as a result of the U-boat warfare. Hence he set out his IA points and, in addi- tion. twice four, that is altogether, 21 which are to be authoritative for the new arrangement of the world.
 T don't suggest that he is insincere but one could instance many cases where America herself had offended against the principles he formulates for example. the treatment of Colombia and the seizure of Texas. But, after all, large regions were thereby opened to civilization. l will only say that il does not do to be always contrasting our actions with the views expressed by President Wilson's points,
