FEEDING YOU

The average city man has

one Of the most troublesome
things with which the country

in war time, 1t Is an important
part of "Our Part in Feeding

interferes with quick delivery, that

KEYSTONE OF HUN DE.
 FENSIvE ARCH MENAcED
Americans Advance on 2O.Mile Front to Depth of z Miles-Pershing's Men Capture Dozen Towns
 and Over 1000 Prisoners.

Washington, Sept. 26.-The key stone of the great German defensive arch in France is under assault in the F'ranco-American offensive launched this morning in the Champagne over a front of 40 miles. Because of the place of attack selected by Marshal Foch, military officials regarded the new blow as one of wide strategic possibilities.
 It was not until General Pershings official statement arrived late to- night that ai definite idea was given of the extent and success of the initial rush. The Americans advance ed on g. front of 20 miles, taking more than 5000 prisoners and 12 towns. The French War Office pre- viously had reported that the French troops further west had advanced nearly four miles at certain points.

As far back as 1915. the French strategists saw that the Cham pagne front offered the greatest pos abilities in repellins the invaders with the least expenditure of men. There was fierce fighting that year in this sector, but the French lacked the reserve power to press forward in accordance with their strategic de- signs and were forced to settle back to tactical operations and de,ensiyc measures.
 Since then the line between Rheims and Verdun has been relatively un- changed, the last offensive effort of the enemy against Rheims in July having failed to break it. On that occasion, American troops aided in repelling the eastern jaw of the en-

SIX BILLIONS ITO
 LICK THE KAISER
Appea: to COrpOrati0ns-secGctary Me. Doc Says They Have Not Responded .COmmensurately With Their
 Ability to Help

New York, Sept. 24.-Six billion dollars is the minimum which the peo- pie of the United St., ,.es are asked to subscribe for the fourth Liberty loan, according to William McAdoo. secre- tary of the treasury, in an address here tonight.
 The share allotted to New York Federal Reserve district is s1 S0Q,- OO0, ,OOO, or 30 per cent oI s.le greatest loan yet offered. The loa.. Which will bear A per cent interest, will run for 20 years, maturing October 15, 1888, unless the government should exercise it's reserved right to redeem the bonds on or before October 15, 1883.
 Saying that without this vast sum i've cannot lick the k.iser," the sec retary made special appeal for the subscriptions of corporations and wealthy individuals, as returns from the third lLiberty loan showed that wealthy corporation and persons of large means had not responded "com- mensurately with their abilities to help He said that of the 18,000,- 900 Americans who subscribed for the last loan, only 225OO, including cor porations, bought bonds in excess of $1O.OOO.
 
 'It would be preposterous,' he said, "to say that there are only p 800 men, women aud corporations in America able to lend more than $10,000 each to their government in Liberty bonds"

FURTHER DISASTERS
 THREATEN 2ULGARS
Their Army Has Been Cut Into Small Groups by tlle Allied Attack -Scrbians Cross the
 Vard0r.

Lonson, Sept. evelopnents on the Macedonian front today point to further disasters for the Bulgarian aEnles, which are fleeing before 4.he allied troops.
 The Serbians, according to the l t. est news reaching London, have cross e. the Vardar river northwest O.. Gradsko and have established a thirl bridgehead south O. Finish Cba. They are also advancing along the Bregal- nitsa river, which flows into the Var dsr about four miles northwest of Gradsko, and have cut the main road to Ishtib. The Bulgarian army has now been cut into 2, number of groups.
 With tho expected fall of Veles it is believed that the next objective of the allied army will be Uskub, in or Ger to re-estab!ish the SalOniki-Usku railway communication. From Uskub it will be easier to move into Bull garia than by attempting to enter through the Strumitza district, where the natur-l defenses are exceptionally strong.
 Allied patrols have reached the Bull garien frontier and at several places lave penetrated into Bulgarian terri tory, tut no infantry IS yet on Bull gari n soil. The artillery steadily is bombarding the mountain passes, through which the Bulgar,aus are re- moving their heavy material. under the protection of strong rear guards.
 Cavalry Glasses Bulgars.
 British forces gre now operating along the northern shores 0. Lake Dorian and their cavalry is pursuing the retreating Bulgarisns along the road toward Strumitza. This is the only available line of communication remaining to the enemy.
 Further north and northwest the situation of the enemy is becoming more difficult. The Bulgarians are retiring along the roaG from Stiles to Ishtib. There is a railroad running as far as Ishtib, but beyond that point they would be dependent on wagons roads, against which the Serbians gre advancing.
 On the western Side of the bsttle zone some of the retreating Bulgar- ians may escape to Albania. where they will join Austrian attachments, but they must first cross difficult country, and the Albanians are not friendly to the Bulgarians. Although there are still German officers with the Bulgarians, it is believed there are no definite German units with them.
 May Not Hold Pass.
 The Bulgarians in their retreat northward are not likely to be able to defend the famous Babuna pass, southwest of Uskub, where the Serb ians made heroic resistance in No vember, 1915. The pass is near Veles, which is almost within reach of the Serbians.
 East of the Vardar river the Ger mans and Bulgarians are falling back on Veles. 25 miles southeast of Uskub, according to a Serbian official state-

into active service in some fashion on
the front one month after they arrive in
Europe. BY July we shall have 50O,-
600 in line. and another 100000 will be
available before August 1. We are
adding to Foch's army at the rate of six
teen German divisions each month. This
contribution, moreover, is equal to the
French army coming from the new class
of recruits. 1t is nearly half as large as
the income Germany draws from each Of
her classes.
We are likely to have surprises and
disappointments, sad losses and inescap-
able failures. But it is the universal
testimony of all who return from France
that our young officers and our young
soldiers learn promptly learn willingly
and are mastering the great lessons with
a success which earns and deserves gen
eral commendation. We already have
reason to be proud Of our army in
France. It is already fact and fac
tor in this supreme crisis of Allied fort
unes. If it has not yet restored the bal
ance of numbers between the enemy
and Foch it will do it before the cam
paign is over.
When we have our first million Of

have them toward the end of this cam
paign-the German, if he has not won
the war beyond all question, will have
lost it beyond recovery, for a million

postponement of German decision to next

can be counted upon to do, not less than
half million American soldiers are
ready to do their share. We are in

A Ghost From the Past

Under the heading "Watchful Waitino
IN Russia" the current "New Republic"
prints the following:
III Is natural that the American branch
Oh the international imperalist tribe
shooio now be mutterng among them
selves that President Wilson's policy tow
ard Russia is the same 'watchful waitino,
mat cheated them of their Mexican nrev
American Imperialism has never FORGIVEN
President Wilson for missing the onror
'uhltv 10 make virtual dependency out
Oh Me%lco. And the nearer Mexico ap-
proaches to tolerable state of order the
greater the bitterness over the lost on
portunity. But the American majority
are not at present grieving because we do
not nave the task of policing Mexico su
peradded to our other international cares
or our moral position compromised bv
fresh memories of what to all the rest of
tne world would have counted as conyen
tionai act of imperialistic aggression.
Most Of US, If we are willing to nav the
price of frankness, are ready to place
'watchful waiting in Mexico in that con-
siderable and growing category of policies
S
more clairvovant than our own. Accord
'ngly, the revival Of the phrase in the mat
ter OF Russia does not look promising as
propagandist device. We did better in
ieavlng Mexico to settle her own affairs
II the analogy holds, we shall do better
In leaving Russia to her own devices"
The analogy does not hold.
The success of President Wilson's
"watchful waiting" policy in Mexico re-
mans to be demonstrated At present
our neighbor to the south, under leader
on whom the Administration has lavished
every indulgence, is at best malevolent
neutral-a mere "nest" for the spread of
enemy activity. 1t might have been--it
should bean ally.
The arguments for the recognition of
Huerta were two:
l. President Wilson's own recent def
milton of his policy toward Mexico
that its internal affairs were none Of
our business.
z. That Huerta represented stable gov
ernment--a government friendly to the
United States and to the other nations
of the world.
During the incumhency of Huerta life
was unsafe only in the northern prov
inces where the Administrators former
friend, Villa, and more recent protege.
Carranza, held sway
Ihe reason for not recognizing the
New-York tribune., 1918-06-30

Soviets is that from the evidence at hand
their government represents not law, or
der or friendliness to our cause, but
anarchy. mob tyranny and unfriendllness
to the Allies. Yet, according to "The
New Republic" it is only the imperial
ist tribe which protested against the
non-recognition of Huerta and is now
against the recognition of the Soviets.
The implication here is that those who
disapproved the Presidents Mexican pol
icy and those who favor action of some
kind in regard to Russia are actuated by
mercenary self-interest. No baser charge
could be made. 1t is the offspring of the
now seditious "this is Wall Streets war;"
and attempts to brand as concession
naireism the most vigorous efforts tow
ard shortening the war by defeating the
German "imperialist tribe"
When intervention comes the Allied
cause will be correspondingly weakened
by such propaganda.

Sir: The nations appeal for men to man

And all ! ask is a tall shin and st.r ..

And the wheels kick and III. n,;,a.
and the white sails shaking.
AND gray mist on the seas face. and
gray dawn breaking.
must go down to the seas again, for tho
call OF the running tide
Is wild call and clear call that NAV not

AND all ask is windy day with the whita
clouds flying,
Ana the flung spray and the blown spume
and the seagulls crying.
| must go down to the seas again, to the
vagrant gypsy life.
