Czecho- SLouaks Celebrate Birth Of Nation by Winning
 First Important Victory

With the French Army in France, De- tober 24-tBy the Associated Press.) october 2l the newest of national fete days will ill years to come be ceie- brated not only in central Europe as the anniversary of the birth in exile Of the Czecho-Slovak government, but also at Terron- sur-Aisne in France. as the date of the first victory of the czecho- Slovak army.
 Units of this latest arrival among the belligerents in this war, fighting with General Gouraud in the region of Vou- zieres, received news of the constitution of the Czecho-Slovak government at noon, October T. Immediately after ward they went forward to assault one of the most difficult positions along the Asne and took the village of Terron at the point of the bayonet.
 These troops had been in line for six days in a particularly difficult sector, drenched by continual rains, walowing in mud and wading through the flooded region along the river. In front of them the Germans were strongly entrenched and fortified in the village of Terror, in their usual heavy armament of machine guns.
 A wild burst of enthusiasm greeted the announcement by the colonel in com mand of the formation of the Czecho- Slovak government, after which the men

Bradley J.lSaunders, Sr.,
 Arrives Overseas as
 Y. M. c. A. Worker
Popular Birmingham Man, Deter mined to Do His Bit, Will Make
 Life Cheerful for Sammies

Bradley J. Saunders, Sr., has arrived in France as an overseas worker for the Y. M c. A. MT Saunders sailed Sep tember 25 from New York.
 J. L. Drennen received a cablegram yesterday announcing his safe arrival overseas. MT. Saunders has a son, Lieut. Bradley J. Saunders, Jr., who has been in France for over year in the aviation corps. He tried himself to get into the army but was rejected on account of his age and then applied to the Y. NJ. c. A. and was accepted He is one of Birmingham's most popular men, and his friends will learn of his safe arrival overseas with pleasure.
 "A sad incident in connection with the foreign service of Lieut.. Bradley Saun- ders, Jr., was the death of his mother, soon after he arrived overseas. This was quite a blow to MT. Saunders, and after his wife's death he was more than ever determined to get overseas to aid the soldiers in their fight for liberty and democracy, and to have possible chance of seeing his boy and perhaps being with him some.

The Germans in this region con tinue to use numerous machine guns to retard the advance of Field Marshal Haig's men, and the artii- Iery of both sides is violently act- i've. British aviators are materi- ally aiding the offensive by drop ping bombs behind the line or flying low and cutting troop form ations to pieces with machine gun fire.
 South of the Disc river the French are making sharp thrusts against the enemy with the inten- tiOn of clearing out the entire tri- angle between FIavigny and Mont cOrnet and taking all the railroad lines within this region and also plotting out the salient that still exists there. The Germans are strongly counter attacking on all the fronts of attack, hut the French have warded off their ef- forts to regain lost territory and have gained ground south of Mont cornet, ore of the principal rail- way junctions in this region.
 North of Grand Pre- and north of Nerdun, in the sector lying be- tween the Mouse river and north of the Argonne forest, the Amer jeans have cut further and deep ly into the enemy line, despite the continued extremely heavy use of machine guns and artillery by the Germans. American aviators are dropping bombs behind the enemy lines, while enemy airmen are re- turning the compliment by bomb ing towns inside the American front.

SOUTHERN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION MEET
 POSTPONED ID |9|9
c. P. Loranz Announces Calling Off of Asheville Convention Account of
 Influenza Epidemic

c. P. Loranz, business manager of the Southern Medical association, has mailed out no.ices to all parties con- cerned cancelling the 1918 session of the association, which was to have been held at Asheyille, N. C., November l-l4.
 The annual convention of the assocla- tion has been postponed for one year on account of the great epidemic of in fluenza, which has spread all over the south.
 The announcement reads as follows:
 At this late hour it is with deep re- gret that we find 1t necessary to post pone for year the 12th annual meetlhs of the Southern Medical association, which was to have been held at Asne- vile, N. C., November 11-14. The reason for this is the epidemic of influenza which has reached every nook and corner of our territory and is now engaging the attention of the profession to such a oe- gree as to render it impossible Tor them to leave home for sometime to come.
 ITO the untiring efforts of the Ashe- vile committees on arrangements, to the officers of the section on medicine, sec- tion on pediatrics, section on pupll1 health, section on surgery, the Southern States Association of Railway Surgeons, section on eye. ear, nose and throat, ana the conference on medical educatlon' who under the greatest difficulties nave gotten up what is probably the best pro- gramme ever presented to the assocla- tion to the officers and members of the American Association for the Study ana Prevention of Infant Mortality, to the national malaria committee, the Ameri- can Society of Tropical Medicine ana the Southern Castro Enterological as- sociation, who were to meet conjolntiy with us; and toythe various distinguished guests who had consented to attend our convention, we wish to express our especial disappointment at this une&- pected and unfartunte turn of events.
 ''The various papers that were to have been read will be published during the coming year in the Journal so that there will be as little break as possible in the record of the scientific advancement or southern medicine and surgery.
 Next year the association confidently expects to have the greatest meeting in it's history and trusts you will make your plans to be with us then.
 Respectfully,

Summary Of he News From AM War Fronts and Capitals
(By Associated Press)

On several fO the most import ant sectors in France--from the region of Valenciennes to the east of LeCateau. north of Laon be- tween the Oise and the Serre riv- CTS, and on the front from the Mouse river to the vicinity of Grand Pre-battIes of sanguinary character are being fought. In these the British. French and American troops everywhere are making progress against the stub- bornIy resisting Germans.
 In Belgium the allied forces, owing to the rapid retreat of the enemy and the flooded condition Of the IowIands, have not yet been able to come into full fighting contact with the Germans, but doubtless a few days more will see them again hard after their quarry and driving him farther toward his own frontier.
 south of Nalenciennes the British Third and Fourth armies, with which Americans are cooperating, hRve continued successfully to press onward with Mons and Mau- beuge their objectives. Vaieneien- mes is gradually being enyeloped, and soon is destined to be pinched out of the fighting line by turn ing movements from the north and south in the manner generally adopted in the present day tactics when it is more desirable to en- veiop strong position than to waste life and limb in reaching the objective by a frontal attack.

Presidents Fourteen Points Are ThoroughLyMschieUous
 According 10 Teddy's. VietD

The only peace offer which we should consider from Germany at this time is an offer to accept such terms as the allies, without our aid, have imposed on Bulgaria. We ought to declare war on Turkey without an hours delay. The failure to do so hitherto has caused the talk about making the world safe for democracy to look unpleasantly like mere insincere rhetoric. While the Turk is left in Europe, and permitted to tyran- rize over the subject people, the world is thoroughly unsafe for democracy.
 ARE WE AN ALLY?
 Moreover, we should find out what the President means by continually re- ferring to this country merely as the as- sociate instead of the ally of the .na- tions with whose troops our own troops are actually brigaded in battle. If he means that we are something else than an ally of France, England, Italy, Bel gium and Serbia, then he means we are something less than an enemy of Ger many and Austria. We ought to make 1t clear to the world that we are neither an untrustworthy friend nor an lrreSo= lute foe. Let us clearly show that we do not desire to pose as the umpire be- tween our faithful and loyal friends and our treacherous and brutal enemies, but that we are stanch ally of our friends and the stanch foe of our enemies.
 "When the German people repudiate the Hohenzolern, then and not until then 1t will be time to discriminate bet Heen them and their masters. hope the Sen ate and the House will pass some reso- lutions demanding the unconditional sur render of Germany as our war aim and stating that our peace terms have never yet been formulated or accepted by our people and that they will be fully dis cussed with our allies and. made fully sat isfactory to our own people before they gre discussed with Germany"

notes has given an insight into affairs in Germany and perhaps has hastened her internal reforms The next answer will have to be a military answer from her military authorities.
 "The people feel that the internal question of Germany is not so important al the assurance against recurrence of Germany's militaristic policies which precipitated the war.
 We do not know how sincere Ger many is about her internal re- forms We have reason to doubt the sincerity of her aims in this direction The great thing for to do is to make sure that things shall not again be in the same position as before the war
 "An armistiee is almost impossible, as the conditions would be so unimag- inably drastic. An armistice would be full of danger if not guarded by all sorts of conditions"
 The feeling prevails in general among French officials that the latest note from the President of the United states is just what the allies have been want ing to force upon the enemy.

 Fifteen minutes only of artillery prepa- ration preceded the rush through mud and water to the German lines. Led by Major Nusak, commanding the battalion in the first line, the men left their trenches at 3 o'clock to cross the marshy zone swept by the fire from nests of ma chine guns, the emplacements of which could only be guessed.
 The line became thinner and thinner as it went on, but the survivors, in spired by the example of Captains Sib- li1 and Vlasak and lieutenants Pliva and Zataka continued on to the first houses in the village without faltering. An hour later the entire position was in their hands.
 The village had been captured in fierce house. house, hand hand fight in the course of which the German gunners who stuck desperately to their posts were bayoneted on their guns. The survivors of the garrison were in small proportion to the dead that lay on the ground.

REVOLUTION IS
 THREATENED BY
 COUNT KAROLYI
Declares That Unless Hun gary's Demands Are Met He Will Take Means to
 Secure Realization

Amsterdam, october 24.-Advices re- ceived from Budapest say that in the Unterhaus Wednesday County Karolyi iE moving a resolution in favor of the independence of Hungary demanded the resignation of the Wekerle cabinet and the formation of a coalition ministry. The resolution also called for the con- clusion of a separate peace; dissolution of the alliance with Germany; acSnowl- edgment of the independence of the south Slavonians and the proclamation of a Hungarian King to reside in Buda- pest. Count Karolyi declared if the de- mands were resisted he himself would take means to secure their realization.
 Amid great excitement Dr. Wekerle' the premier, warmly replied that he would oppose by evesy means Count karolyfs threats of a revolution and added that there could be no talk of separate peace.
 Dr. Wekerle asked the house to reject County Karolyi's resolution on the ground that the government would shortly introduce bill dealing with the matter He added that Hungary could not Conciude q peace SepAidte 4loilt N'N- many. and declared that the Germans were helping on the Hungarian front.
