ENEMY DRIVEN FROM
COAST OF BELGIUM
DemOralized Germans In Full Retreat
Toward Antwerp

Germany has lost the whole of the
Belgian coast, which for four years
has been the base of submarine and
aerial attacks against England and
English shipping. Ostend has been
taken, Lille has been occupied and
Douai has fallen. Belgian patrols are
in Bruges, which is only about eight
miles from the Dutch frontier. Ger
man forces, defeated and demoralized,
are in full retreat toward Antwerp.
Over wide strip of the front in
Belgium and northern France the
British, French and Belgian armies
have swept forward with relentless
speed, crushing rear-guard detach-
ments left behind by the Germans to
retard pursuit. Enormous quantities
of materials have been captured by
the Allies and the number of prisoners
taken steadily is mounting.
Keeping step with this movement,
although at slower pace, the Allied
forces farther south have been NOV
ing ahead Two American contin-
gents are operating east of Cam
brai and st. Quentin. One is work
ing with the British and is aiding in
the advance into the German de-
fenses east of LeCateau. The other
is with the French and is assisting
materially. in the attempt to smash
in the~right flank of the German sal.
lent northeast of Laon. In both these
regions the Allies have found German
resistance stubborn and have beer
forced to fight their way ahead in the
face of hurricanes of bullets and
shells.
Notwithstanding the bad weather
and the terrible condition of the
ground, Gen. Pershing's men have
gained ground east of the Argonn'
forest Cote Chatillon, a dominating
height. has been taken and positions
near it are held solidly by THE Amer

SUNDAY BAN ON AUTOS RAISED
BY GARFIELD

Washington, October 1S-Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield today lifted the
ban on gasolineless Sundays, effec-
tive at once.
Should stocks of gasoline again fall
dangerously low, it was stated at the
Fuel Administration office, the request
would. be renewed. 1t is probable that
priority orders will be issued for ship
ment of gasoline overseas.
In announcing the withdrawal OF
the request, the Fuel Administration
said that through the loyal response
of the public, 100000 barrels of gas
oline was saved for the military
forces,

WHOLE BELGIAN
COAST NOW FREE
OF THE HUNS
GreQtest Victory For the Allies Since
the Marne-New and Powerful AL
ltd Forces VIII Now Be
Thrown Into Battle.

Paris, October 1S - The road to
Brussels is open. New and powerful
forces can now be thrown into the
battle in Belgium through the gates
of Ostend, which have fallen in to the
hands of the Allies. Glorious as has
been the victories of the last three
days, the future looms even more bril-
liantly before the Allied command.
But yesterday was the most glorious
for the Allies since the victory of the
Marne. 1t fittingly terminated Won
derful battle of three months, which
was opened by General Mangins
troops on July IS.
The capture of Ostend was marked
by the entrance of King Albert and
Queen Elizabeth.
Many cities have been liberated and
hundreds of square miles of territory
retaken. The results have been splen-
did. But the victory in Belgium is not
all. The British south of LeCateau
have broken into the German posi-
tions and now threaten th9 Hunding
line. The whole German defense sys-
TEN eastward to the Meuse is in peril
The first result of forcing the Ger
mans back to the Ghent- -Tournai-Val!
enciennes line in yesterdays fighting
has been to sap the enemy's defenses
before they have been able to reach
them farther south.

ing hours remained to the two million
solicitors when they set out this
morning for a whirlwind finish to the
three weeks campaign for the great
est war loan in all history.
The task before these workers was
recognized as a stupendous one but
there was no doubt here that it would
be accomplished.
Officials have no doubt that the ma
ton will respond literally to the call
for dollars, for failure of this loan not
only would dishearten the American
and Allied armies but would give new
hope to the shattered German hosts
now in retreat over half the Western
front. An over-subscription officials
said is all that remains as the clinch-
ing proof to Germany that the war
will be prosecuted without stint and
at whatever cost until just and last

-
The following appeal has been made
by the Fire Underwriters Association
of Kentucky through the local Insur-
ance Agents, for dressed chickens for
making soups and broths for the sick
at Camp Taylor:
louisville KY. October 12, 1918
"To Patriotic Insurance Agents of
Kentucky:
you have been informed through
the press of the situation at Camp
Taylor, due to the large number of
cases of Spanish influenza At-pr
ent there are over 5000 cases in the
base hospital there, and the authori-
ties are using every available means
of battling against the disease They
have issued a cali for delicacies for
the sick, and the good women of Lou
isville and nearby communities have
responded nobly with a supply of jel-
lies, ETC., sufficient it is believed, to
hlCIl llOll hCSuS. Oul NOultu dTt dl-
so offering their service as nurses.
THE authorities of the base hos
pital are now NEST in need of dressed
| chickens Ito be used in making soups
and broths for the sick) and eggs. The
need is urgent, and the thought has
occurred to us that the good friends of
the boys out in the state in territory
surrounding Louisville would be only
too glad of an opportunity to help by
supplying them with the needed
chickens and eggs.
we are therefore addressing this
circular letter to you, asking that you
will organize yourselves in your in
dividual localities, and spread the
news in order that all who are able
may have share in the good work
"As the need may continue for some
time, we would ask that you arrange
for periodical shipments of these sup
plies in order that there may not be a
congestion and that the supply may
continue while the need lasts.
Your prompt and generous cooper.
alton will be very much appreciated
by the Fire Underwriters Association
of Kentucky.
This appeal will no doubt meet with
a most generaus response by good
people of Mason county who are al
ways ready to contribute to the re.
lief of the boys in the service.
The following. Insurance Agents o
the city at meeting held Thursday
afternoon contributed 50 each TOWARD
