COMMANDS OUR TROOPS IN ENGLAND

Maj. Gen. John Biddle, commander
of all American troops in England, is
one of the most modest and unpreten-
tious persons imaginable, and one of
the most popular officers in the army.
He Is not only a loyal friend, a polished
gentleman and a good fellow in the
best sense of that term, but he is noted
for his tact.
General Biddle when a boy spent
three years at the school in Geneva
(where French was everybody's Ian
guage) and then was sent to the Uni
versity of Heidelberg. From Hell
delberg, at eighteen, he was brought
back to this country, and in 1877 en-
tered the West Point Military
Academy.
He was graduated second in his
class, and was appointed a second
lieutenant in 1881 and assigned to the
engineers.
A few years ago he was appointed

COCONUT is more
Than A DELICACY
Carbon From Shells Is Used in
Making Gas Masks for
American Soldiers.
BUY The PREPARED PRODUCT
Contains High Percentage of Fat and
Some Protein, Both of Which Have
High Food VaIue-Some
Nourishing Dishes.

When you buy cocOnut think of the
American soldier whose gas mask is
supplied with carbon from the shell
that once surrounded that coconut.
The coconut meat is used in various
ways and the shells removed, some of
the meat being dried and offered for
sale in this form. Buying the prepared
rather than the fresh product, there
fore, saves q war material.
Coconut is more than a delicacy.
1t is a real food, for 1t contains a high
percentage of fat and some protein,
both of which have a high food value.
And when you include coconut dishes
in your menus you are helping to pro-
vide masks for soldiers at the front.
Here are a few good recipes for the
use of coconut:
Coconut R~usks-50-5o.

cool to 90 degrees F. and add yeast,
dissolve in one-half cupful lukewarm
water, then add shortening, then all the
flour, which has been previously sift-
ed together. This makes a very stiff
dough. Cover and let rise in q warm
place until double in bulk. Beat the
white of two eggs not too stiff, cut
down the dough, and work in the egg
whites. Work until a smooth, elastic
mass results. Cover and set to rise,
Let dough rise until very light, then
roll out to one-fourth-inch thickness.
After the addition of the egg the dough
is very soft. Brush over with strip,
sprinkle with coconut, roll up and cut
in pieces one-half-inch thick. Place
in pan fiat side up. Let rise. Bake
In a moderate oven 80 minutes.

WAR SUMMARY

NAoSotIdttu ITCfS,D
Bulgaria has unconditionallv
surrendered. Allied nations are
placed in control of her railroads
md all other means of transport
md are free to use them for the
development of future military
operations. All strategic points in
Bulgaria are turned over to the
allies for occupation and the Bull
"ar troops will be withdrawn from
Greece and Serbia and disarmed.
This, result of the brief con-
ference between the Bulgarian
peace delegates and the allied
command at Saloniki, IS not yet
an accomplished fact, but the
way is cleared for a rapid devel-
opment of the advantages gained
by the sensational offensive in the
Balkans and the collapse of Bull
garia. Heavy German and Aus
trian forces are said to be on their
way to restore the Bulgarian
front, but it is probable they will
be powerlcss to turn the tide of
destiny in the near east. AS a re-
suit of the threatening political
aspect of the situation which has
arisen the German government is
facing ministerial crisis. I'M
pcrial Chancellor Won Hertling
has resigned from Office and was
closely followed by Foreign Min
istcr Won Hintzc. This morning
it was reported from Amsterdam
that Nicc-Chancellor Won Payer,
who has held that office since
Nov. 9, 1917, had also quit.
Among the crumbling of it's
cabinet Germany is hearing the
rumbling of the mighty storm
that has broken over the western
battle line. Grim tidings from
the front, kept secret from the
German people for the past two
months, now are freely discussed
by the newspapers, and wave
of what closely resembles hys-
terra is reported to be sweeping
over that country.
On the six sectors where allied
forces are hurling themselves at
the German lines in Belgium and
France the past day has brought
renewed reverses for the enemy.
There has been desperate fighting
at every point where German
lines have been assailed, but not

Loncon. Oct. 1.-German reserves
are beng rushed into the battle be-
tween She Argonne forest and the
Meuse river, where the Americans are
engaged, according to a telegram to
the Nails correspondent on that front,
writing on Monday afternoon.
A new German division has been
identified In the fighting and the enemy
is offering the fercest resistance He
has apparently decided to make stand
on the kriemhild line.
At the moment the telegram was
written the Americans were fighting
what almost resembled pitched bat
tie amid the ravines, woods AMI heights
along that sector of the front. Every
possible resource Is being used by the
enemy to prevent or at least delay the
American advance. The Americans
nre fighting hard. however, and the
enemy's efforts have availed him little
indeed. American armen continued
their fine work notwithstanding tn,

CAINOBJECTlVES
American Troops Hold Main
Hindenburg Line Positions
Despite Furious Assaults.
SOUTH CAROLINA'S COUP
Germans in Tunnel Elaborately
and Sumptuously Furnished
With Officers. Billets.

With the British Army in France
Oct. IL. n. S,)-Twof hundred Ger
man prisoners and several officers
from advanced positions have already
been sent back to the rear by the New
York troops, who have taken and held
the greater part of their objectIves in
the fighting around st. Quentin. The
American troops hold the main Hin
denburg line positions, despite furious
opposition from the Germans.
Since the Yankees broke the first
Hindenburg line and carried positions
along the second line they have been
meeting less resistance. Troops from
Tennessee and North and South Caro-
line have reached their extreme OBJ
jectives.
The New York troops encountered
many enemy strongholds and were
forced to fight every foot of the way,
pushing on gallantly in the face of
Withering machine gun fire, destroying
and trampling down their opponents.
Although the Germans counter at
tackled repeatedly during the last twen-
ty-four hours. the Americans refused
to yield an inch of ground.
The Hindenburg defense system was
more complicated and elaborate than
was expected. AS the New York troops
pushed forward the Germans poured
out of secret underground passages
from the rear. only to be met by Aus
tralians who "leapfrogged" the Yanlis.
Throughout the most Of the fighting
the Americans were handicapped by a
heavy rain and a high wind.
During the fighting in one tunneled
section the problem to solve the UNDER
ground fortress combination Of the
Hindenburg lines proved unique.
A South Carolina sergeant, leading a
squad of German prisoners, asked
where the southern entrance of the
tunnel was. One OF his captives re-
piled that the Yanks had passed it ow-
ing to the density of the smoke bar
rage.
"All right. Jerry" the South Caro-
lima sergeant shouted, usher us back:
we want to peep into that Aladdin's
cave OF old Hndenburg."
Covering his prisoners, the sergeant
and his men then trailed them to the
entrance of the tunnel and then sent
one of them ahead to call out any other
Germans in the cavern. One hundred
and fifty Germans answered the sum-
mons with upheld hands and joined the
sergeant's original group Of captives.
The cavern, when explored by the
Americans. was found to be elaborately
and sumptuously furnished with Off
GERS billets. a club, n cinema theater.
electric lights and other conveniences.
There was an amazing labyrinth of
galleries and passages.
