ENEMY MORALE
HURT BY BLOW
AT SUB BASES
Loss of Ostend and Zeebrug-
ge Would be Serious Blow
to PanJGermans.
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, Oct. 5.-Local gains, the
first of which while not Immediately
apparent, will soon be seen, were
made yesterday on the western front.
This is inevitable, since as the Ger
mans are pushed back the line short
ems and effectives are released which
enables them to oppose the advancing
allies with stiffer resistance.
Interest is again centered on the
allied right where General Gouraud,
with his French and American forces
having assured command of the
Grandpre gap, has turned his atten-
ton toward the plateau east of
Rheims. Acting in close cooperation
with the Fifth army operating north
of that city, he has forced the Ger
mans into a pocket which he now Is
pinching out. There are signs that
the Germans already are making pre-
parations to move back and 1t will not
be long before Rheims is freed from
the menace of German guns.
On the center the armies of Cen
erals Rawlinson and Debeney con-
tinue to force the enemy back toward
Bohain, which is on the great Paris
St. Quentin n-Maubeuge-Liege railroad
and is one of General Ludendorff $
main arteries.
On the left the allies are within
four miles of Lille and there are signs
that the Germans are preparing to
evacuate the seacoast, since their
whole northern wing is seriously
threatened and the pressure is grow
ing daily more serious. Such an
event would be a mortal blow to the
German morale. equal to the loss of
the Bagdad line, for the pan-Germans
always regarded Ostend and Zeeburg'
ee as essential to Germans world
power.

WAYNE COUNTY'S
LOAN QUOTA HAS
Been PLEDGED
Banks Guarantee Amount AL
loted County Obligation
of Citizens Still Remains.

In order that Wayne county may
take it's place in the list of Indiana
counties that have reached their
quotas in the Fourth Liberty Loan
drive, the banks in Richmond this aft
ernoon guaranteed by pledges of var
ious sums, that the county's full quota
would be sold. In other words the
shortage of approximately 100000 is
now pledged to the government, the
Richmond banks guaranteeing that
this sum will be sold and SO far as
the government and the state Liberty
Loan committee are concerned, the
county of Wayne is lover the top"
The obligation of the people, how
ever, remains as it has for several
days past. Persons who have not
subscribed for Liberty Loan bonds
and those who could buy in larger
amounts are once more appealed to
by the county committee, to go to
their banks and make subscriptions.
The splendid attitude of all banks in
the county toward the success of the
Liberty loan, should be gratefully ac-
knowledged by the people and bonds
absorbed to the last dollar.

Fighing in this sector has been OF the
most desperate character.
In the Flanders sector, advancing
British forces are within six miles OF
Lille. 1t is indicated in reports that
the enemy intends to construct an
other defensive line further east and
attempt to stem the tide of defeat
which has set so strongly against them
along the northern front.
Dispatches seem to show that the
enemy is abandoning his submarine
bases on the Belgian coast. The
coast has been under heavy fire from
British warships for the past few
days and 1t is said that the exodus OF
the Germans is now under way
French Move Forward.
North Of Rheims the French have
moved still further northward and are
exerting heavy pressure against the
enemys positions running from the
Aisne river to the Champagne front.
In Albania Austrian armies which
have been holding the line along the
Semini river seem to be in precipitate
retreat Italian cavalry is operating
in this theatre Of the war.
British forces have been active In
northern Italy and have raided the
Austrian positions opposite, them.
Austria Is reported to have request
ed Holland to invite the belligerents
to take part in peace negotiations. II
is said that Holland has already acted
on this suggestion Advices from Lon
don state that little attention is be
ing paid to the matter which is looked
upon as a new phase Of the peace

Hungary seems to be exerting pres

KING FERDINAND
HAS ADVOCATED

COPENHAGEN, Oct. 5.-The official
Austrian correspondence bureau has
given out a dispatch from Sofia dated
Friday, stating that King Ferdinand
of Bulgaria abdicated on Thursday IN
favor OF Crown Prince Boris. The new
king, it is declared, has already as
sumed the reins Of office.
The abdication of King Ferdinand
was reported in Vienna advices yester-
day, received by way Of Switzerland
and Paris. There seems little reason
to doubt the correctness Of the state
ment. King Ferdinand's popularity
with his people has been wanin rgap-
idly since it became apparent to Bull
garians that he had erred so grevious-
ly in plunging the country into the
war on the side of the Teutonic pow
ers.
