! London, Oct. 10.-British and Amer
lean troops drove forward ON the line
from the Scarpe river to ST. Quentin

trenches) and gained between five and
eight miles.
In Tuesdays attack alone the al
lied troops made 1000 prisoners and
captured 200 guns. it was announced.
and the prisoner toll is mounting
hourly.
The fall of Cambria, the great 5as-
ton of the Hindenburg line. that has
been isolated for days, was announced.
For all practical purposes the allied
troops now hold the Cambrai-St. QUEEN
tin railway. The maximum advance
at two o'clock in the afternoon was at
Bertry, four miles southeast of lie
| Cateau.

railroad town of Busigny, southwest
of lie Cateau, has been taken.
Meanwhile the Americans were add

front.
/ Germans Start Retreat.
The Germans began retreat from
the Scarpe river southwark early in
the day, enabling the British to adj
vance easily.
The Germans started backward dur
ing the night. The British have met
with little resistance, as they have not
been in contact with the Teuton main
line.
The weather is bad. otherwise 1t Is
believed the British would have adj
vanced further.
The Germans Are Burning Villages.
This retreat lengthens the line
which the Teutons so long have been
trying to shorten, and the situation
opens many possibilities of retreats
elsewhere.
One report was that the Germans
were starting a retirement from the
entire st. Quentin-Scarpe salient.
A retreat Of such magnitude would
involve the loss of both Bohain and
Arleux.

British Third and Fourth armies and
the American troops resumed their at
tack the. British First army advanced
north of Cambria. The First army
gained considerable ground toward VII
lers-en-Artois. The Anglo-American
advance proceeded behind an intense
barrage fire from the British artillery
which the Germans seemed unable to
withstand.
Germans Run Away Like Rabbits.
The Germans in front of the British
and Americans were surrendering
freely" according to report. On the
front of the Tennessee troops an en-
tire German regiment chose the other
course and ran away like so many rab-
bits.
The British gunners paid special at
tention TO roadsides and the areas be-
tween the roads and the terrain was
churned by an avalanche of shells. The
advancing troops found the roads,
however, in good condition.

Southern farmers have as much al

The determination of the United
States to send supplies and food to the
Allies sent the price OF cotton to 80
cents and above, and put the price OF
food crop up to the highest figure in
fifty years.

the crops abroad after the war. But

ran Belgium. Evidence in tho hands
OF government officials proves this
statement. Southern farmers are en-
joying the benefit of their crops now.
but IL Germany invades this country
their wives and daughters will be
forced to raise crops for Germany
just as Belgian and French women
and children are forced in the fields
to feed the German army. Their land
will be devastated Just as Belgian
farms have been--their land then will
be used to feed Germany and their
crops will bring them nothing.
farmers Depended Upon
The government always has depend
cd upon the Southern farmer to do
his duty, whether to raise more food,
fight or finance. They have been ex-
emptsd from fighting thus far to en-
able them to raise more food, and
they have received the highest prices
for their products. Now the govern.
ment wants the farmer to help finance
the war. 1t is Just as much his duty
to help finance the war as it is to raise
food.
The third Liberty Loan will soon be
Hoated. It Is the farmers duty to in
vest as much money as they can in
these United States government
bonds. There is nothing hard to un.
derstand about a United States gov
ernment bond. You merely subscribe
through your banker and the govern
ment pays you interest on the invest
nent, giving you the wealth of the
whole country as security. Liberty
bonds are as sound as dollar.

X. D. CURTIS
FOR REGISTRAR

Uncle" K. d. Curtis tried his
best to make Mr.. Cumberland
Telephone transmit message to
US last week that he wanted his
announcement in the News. He
failed In the effort, and conse-
quently this epitome Of wisdom
and banner of brilliancy did not
contain his announcement How
ever, "she am here" this week
and will remain until August
when his friends say he will stay
on the same old job, to-wit: as
registrar of Marion County, re-
gistering the deeds and docu-
ments of the county in the regis
ter of the county.
Mr.. Curtis had the honor of de-
feating some mighty good men
in his race for the nomination,
men who are stoutly for him to-
day for reelection, cherishing
no ill-will, but realizing that a
mighty good man was the winner.
The News had not the slight
est idea that Mr.. Curtis would
get the fine vote he received in at
the hands of the republicans in
their primary. and he ought to
feel proud of the support given
him and deem it an augury of
success in August.

FORCES ARE READY
FOR BIGBONDDRIVE
SIXTH DISTRICT ORGANIZED FOR
THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
CAMPAIGN.
FIELD FORCE IS NOW BUSY
Educational Work AWakens People
TO Dangers Facing
Nation

Atlanta. With the Third Liberty
Loan campaign approaching, every eff
fort is being exerted by the sixth Fed
eral Reserve District Executive Com
mittee to complete the organization Of
every county. For two months a force
of forty field representatives has been
paving the way for the loan with a
great educational campaign. Commit
tees have been re-organized and ev-
erything is in readiness for the drive
which is expected TO begin early in
April.
The reports from field represen-
tatives on the organization work have
been very encouraging to the execs-
tive committee. II Is realized, how
ever, that it will take the combined eff
forts Of the bankers, manufacturers,
merchants and farmers to put the
Sixth District over the top" In this
campaign. The minimum allotment
for this district In the second cam
paign was over-subscribed, but 1t will
take harder work to make the Third
Liberty Loan success.
Committees Organized
The central organization win be the
same as in the previous campaign, ID.
B. Wellborn, chairman of the board OF
the Federal Reserve Bank being chair
man. w. G. Wardlaw is chairman Of
the executive committee. st. Elmo
Massengalo again will direct the pub
licity campaign, w. ]. Rudland, an ex-
perienced sales manager has been
placed in charge of the field force.
Money Needed
It has been repeatedly pointed cut
by Government officials that the re-
suit of the world conflict depends
very largely upon the success OF the
successive bond Issues. The full force
of America, in resources, men and
money, must be hurled against the
Hun to crush the military ambitions
of Germany and make the world safe
from the menace of Prussian auts-
Gratis. This cannot be accomplished
unless the government is given the
use of every dollar needed to Furnish
supplies and ammunition for the army
which is being sent to France.
Money ia not taken from circulation
when invested In Liberty Bonds. 1t
is spent right here at home IN the
purchase of supplies and furnishes en-
ployment to those engaged in work on
government contracts. The expendE
ture of these great Hms of money has
made this section of the country pros
porous. The war is responsible for
the high prices farmers are receiving
for their products. The wheels of the
great industries have been Kept busy
and the wage earneTs are drawing
high salaries.
Whether the next boRd issue Is a
success will depend upon the effort
of every individual in the district. The
money cannot be raised without per
sonal sacrifice. The Government ap-
peals to every individual 10 invest to
the extent of his ABILITY

SUNNYSIDE MlNSTRELS
GIVE INITIAL SHOW

The Sunnyside Minstrels of
South Pittsburg, uuder the man
agement of Lloyd B. Holder, gave
their initial performance at the
Town Hall Friday night. The
boys, who, are all young perform
ers, had had only two rehearsals
| together before putting on their
performance, and did very well.
They were hampered somewhat
by the lack of piano accompani-
ment for their songs, having no
one with them who had practic-
ed with them, but still the songs
were interesting. The work of
Raymond Pryor, a boy soprano
of excellent voice, was a feature.
Virgil Padgett and Oscar
Knight were the end men.
Their work was good, and they
put up some very funny stunts.
Lloyd Holder was a good interlo-
cutor.
The boys propose to return to
this city on May Both with a.wes-
tern play, Manager Holder con-
templating putting on one. There
is lots of talent in the company,
and if they will stick together
for few years will be hard to
beat
The company is composed of
Virgil Padgett and Oscar Knight,
end men; Crockett Janey, Claud
Smith, Bob Knight, Albert Rauls-
ton, Alton Janey and Raymond
Pryor, middle men, and Lloyd
Holder, interlocutor.
There was a fairly good house
present, and the gross receipts
were $12.60, of which one-half
went to the Hall, fund now be-
ing raised for the purpose of re-
shingling the building, and the
other half to the minstrels.
1t was the intention of the COM
pany to arrive here early enough
to have a rehearsal before the
performance but unfortunately
Manager Holders car was run
into by car driven by Fayt Mel
son while rounding a curve near
South Pittsburg and was so bad
ly damaged that it was necessa-
ry to get another car. The delay
knocked out the rehearsal and
prevented a much better per-
formance.
