MANY TURKS TAKEN
PRISONERS BY BRITISH

Disaster has overtaken the Teutons
over all fields.
In Palestine the Turks are all but
absolutely crushed; in Macedonia the
entente forces are marrying their foes
and threatening them with similar
disaster; in France the British and
French troops slowly, but surely, are
eating their way into the vitals of the
German defensive positions, the
collapse of which would result in
important changes all along the
western battle front and in eastern
Siberia the Japanese have made addi-
tional strides forward in the process
of retaining that territory for the
Russians.
Huns Everywhere on Defensive
In all the theaters of war the en-
tente allies have the initiative in
their hands and are pressing their
| advantage vigorously. The Germans
and their allies nowhere are able to
do more than stand on the defensive.
And in Palestine and Macedonia,
their efforts in this respect have
proved sorry ones.
From north of Jerusalem to the
Sea OF Galilee in the territory lying
between the rear of Jordan and the
Mediterranean sea, the Ottoman
forces have been caught by the swift
drive of the British and virtually an
INITIATED. Added to the heavy cas-
ualtes suffered by the Turks. hordes
or them were made prisoner, and
many more are wandering be-
wildered, without leaders in the hills.
eventually to be brought in to swell
the great total. At last accounts
| more than 900 of the Sultan's SOL
diers and go guns and large guam
titles of war stores were in British
hands.
To add TO the decentralization of
the Turkish morale, allied aviators
| are carrying out successful bombing
raids against Constantinople.
Serbia Coming Back.
Over front of eighty miles in
southern Monastir to Lake Dorain,
the entente trops are vigorously as
sailing the Bulgarians and Germans.
Already in the swift drive in the
center great wedge has been pushed
across the Istib-Prilep road, severing
communication between the Bull
garian army northeast of Monastir
and that in the Lake Dorian region.
Unofficial reports are TO the effect
that the Serbs have taken between
5000 and 10000 prisoners and 12O
guns.
In the region between Monastir
and the Vardar. the enemy troops
are in full retreat before the Italians,
French and Serbians, while west of
Dorian the British are steadily ham,
mering their way forward, driving
the enemy northward toward the
Bulgarian frontier. Already the
enemy line from Dorian to point
west of the Vardar has been evacu-
ated. This force of the enemy,
with the railroad to the north sew
cred, seemingly is in danger of an
enveloping movement unless it turns
sharply eastward and presses into
Bulgaria, through the mountains.

TAKING OVER COTTON.

The official announcement that
the president will shortly fix a price
for cotton, and will order govern
ment control of distribution, is of in
terest for two reasons. one that cot
tion is a staple in war, almost as
much as wheat, and the other that
southern states.
1t is mainly because of this latter
fact that attention will center on the
price fixed, and on the conditions
under which the crop is taken over.
1t has been charged so frequent
ly that only the farm products of the
north were being interfered with,
that what the administration now
does with the great southern staple
will be watched so closely.
The president has named a COM
mittee to inquire into the general
situation and among other things to
determine the cost of production.
lie will probably be governed by
the report of this committee. That
will be not only the easiest and safest
way to dispose of it, but probably
the fairest.
There has been from the first a
determined opposition to price fixing
for any commodity. The repeated
attempts in times past to fix prices
have bene dragged out to condemn
the policy of the administration. But
the tendency has been to enlarge
rather than to limit the undertaking,
in our first year of the war and gen.
orally speaking it may be accepted
that the public has Endorsed it.
1t is plain to everybody that if
We are to equip and maintain three
or four million men in Europe, and
contribute at the same time to the
equipment and feeding of the mil
lions of the allies, there must be
the utmost conservation of our re-
sources. Nobody now knows to what
extent government regulation will be
forced before we are done.

AUDUBON BOYS o. X.
Camp Pike, Ark,

Sept. 81, 1918.
Dear Mr.. Hoogenakker:
Once again the spirit moves me to
write to The Republican, for some
how there is and probably always
be soft spot in my heart for the
old place and the old gang. 1t has
been slightly over seven weeks since
| have had any ink in my hair or a
stick in my hand, and altho soldier
ing offers a more or less pleasing
change from the hum-drum monotony
of common printers life, still l am
praying for the day when l may be
privileged to return to the old rut.
The call of the wild, as it were.
l believe that in letter written
a few weeks ago l said something
that may have led the unsuspecting
to believe that the life of soldier
was one continuous round of pleasure
with nothing to do but eat, sleep and
be merry. Well, that was true
enough during the first three weeks
of camp life, but since ! have been
transferred to regular company in
a training regiment l have changed
my mind. Time was when / thought
l was working in those good old days
when we toiled into the wee small
hours of the morning every Wednes-
day and Thursday night in our fran
tic efforts to give the world at large
another edition of The Republican,
but that was as nothing compared
to the work we do here. From $50
in the morning until 9 o'clock at night
we work for Uncle Sam. The rest Of
the time we have all to ourselves I'M
less, perchance, we are ordered to
take a midnight march or do sentry
duty all night long. During his
hours of freedom the soldier usually
amuses himself by washing clothes,
sewing on buttons. sweeping floors
and performing various other kinds
of work. But, after all. its great
life Uf you don't weaken) and
find lots of enjoyment in it.
am, or rather have been, with Co.
A, LIST Inf, but Co. A moved this
morning to Camp Merritt, N. j., and
your humble servant is about the
only man left at the barracks now to
tell that there ever was a Co. A here.
Some twelve or fifteen non-commis-
stoned officers are the only ones left,
and there Is not one of them that
does not wish he could have gone
with the other boys. Probably the
majority of us who were kept here
will be sent east in a month or six
weeks. AS for myself. l fear that
because of not being able to meas
ure up to certain physical standards
set up by our Uncle Samuel, I will
be obliged to remain here indefin-
itely, perhaps for the duration of the
war. But even then it may not be
long. At the rate the allies are going
at the present time it seems impos-
sible for Germany TO hold out much
longer.
So far as know all Of the Audi
bon county boys are still at Camp
Pike. and doing nicely. I don't get
to see them very often for they are
scattered all over the camp.
l am glad to get The Republican

CONSERVE ON COAL.

Every family in this and every
other community in the state is go
ing to be asked to reduce it's coal
consumption this winter. The author
tiles on the fuel supply have fig
ured out that there is certain to be
a shortage of $4,000 tons of coal Of
all kinds. That must be made up as
far as the big munition factories and
the ocean freight and transport
steamers are concerned, or the
United State will fall down on it's
part in the allied war program and
that would threaten the stopping Of
the tremendous swing toward victory
now well under way.
To make up this shortage, it is
estimated that on the average every
household in the United States will
have to save at least 1 u tons of
coal.
That means that households that
use from Is to 90 tons of Iowa coal
will have to save a good deal more
than " tons, while homes that use
only a few tons will need to save
somewhat less.
The extention workers of Iowa
State College. with the assistance Of
the county home demonstration
agents, are planning an educational
campaign for fuel saving which will
reach every housewife in Iowa. They
will have the cooperation of the
State Council of Defense and local
churches and clubs. Cooler houses
will be urged; the heating of I'M
necessary rooms will be frowned up
on; simpler means will be encour-
aged with the frequent use of oven
dinners and of fireless and pressure
cookers; instruction will be given
In economical firing of ranges and
furnaces. and a special wood cutting
day for the use of waste timber and
cuttings will be arranged.
