GRAND PRE- GAIN OF
GREAT IMPORTANCE

and were in possession Of the important
railhead
In complete control of the Cote de
Chatillon, the Americans now hold the
key to the great stretches to the north
and northeast.
The hill is, IN fact. the final OF three
keys all of which have been bitterly de-
Tended. The first was Mamelle trench,
outside of Romagne. which when won
gave access to the equally vital Dame
Marie, and that position IN turn gave
access to Chatillon.
From the latter position the great
mass OF German defensive positions to
the northwest can also be controlled and
the line can be exploited further without
organized attack. because each position
is on sloping hill that can be swept
with an enfilading fire.
The Americans took to-day as pris-
oners from the Germans two Russians
who had been forced to labor in working
battalions close behind the front line.
The American advance everywhere
was desperately contested. especially
during the crossing of the Aire River,
but they pressed on.

Oct. 17.--All other news has been made
unimportant for the moment by the an
nouucement that Lille and the whole
Lille area have been evacuated. Our
troops OF the Fifth Army are at this
moment pushing everywhere into the
Lille district.
1t is hardto believe that this move is
inspired By military necessity and one is
inclined to look upon II more as po-
litical maneuvre. We were nowhere ex-
erting such pressure as would make the
enemy think OF giving up the city. There
were Indications that the Germans in
tended to offer resistance all along the
line to Douai.
The evacuation OF civilians from Lille
is far from complete, and though prison.
ers report they had orders to destroy
nothing except of military value there
seemed at noon yesterday no immediate
likelihood of a retreat.
The first rumor came this morning at
o'clock, when we heard the Germans
had ordered all civilians remaining In
Lille to march forward toward our lines
while they themselves began to march
the other way. Our troops entered the
town at daylight after our aviators re-
ported that the Germans had gone.

corning the behavior OF the German SOL
diers at Isegsem Just before they left to
the effect that bombs were thrown into
cellars in which civilians had taken
refuge. The Belgian soldiers TO whom
these stories were repeated are fighting
with a fury that knows no restraint
The Belgians have fixed these crimes
on particular individuals in the German
army and are determined that these
men shall forfeit their lives for their
crimes.
The ground we arc now moving over
has been little touched by war, most Of
the villages being intact. In the mining

MERCY WEEK FOR
 RELIEF OF JEWS
Campaign for Funds to Extend
 From Jan. 27 to Feb. 3

New York, Jan. 11.-The Central committee for the relief of Jews suf- fering through the war, 51 Chambers street. New York, has designated the week beginning Sunday, January 27, 1918, and ending February 5, 1918, as Mercy Week in honor of the second anniversary of Proclamation Day, on January 27, 1916, was named by President Wilson. The committee has issued the following appeal:
 Sunday, January 27, marks the sec ond anniversary of the Jewish Relief Day designated by President Wilson in his historic. proclamation as the day on which the people of the United States of America were asked to stretch out their helping hand to the millions of Jews suffering in the war zones.
 This event was epoch making and must never be forgotten; as long as life lasts, Jews will recall the noble action of the president of the United States of America. The central com mittee for the relief of Jews suffering through the war, at whose instigation Proclamation Day was set on the 27th of January. 1916. feels that the an niversary should not be passed by without a concrete demonstration of the appreciation of President Wilson's high minded response to the needs of our stricken brethren in the war zones.
 We have now entered upon the fourth year of this terrible conf1ict--a struggle in which all the forces of humanity are arrayed against the powers that wreak evil and destruc- tion. The reports that continue to come from lover There show that the suffering of our people is not only as intense as it has hitherto been, but is even greater. There is but one answer to be given and that is, to go on gathering contributions for the relief fund until all hunger is stilled, every naked body clothed, and the sick healed. In other words, the work of saving the lives of men and women and of children must go on un- checked
 The central relief committee ap- peals to all the communities and or gan1zations cooperating with it to make Mercy Week a record in the gathering of relief funds. American Jewry is responding nobly to the call for help and historians will set down in unperishab ble letters the aid that has been given by Jews of this coun- try.
 Notwithstanding the readiness to which appeals have been responded to

the result of gracious request from Representative Walsh, republican, of ssachusetts, who asked Representa- tive Raker whether 'it would seriously interfere with his plans if Miss Rank in should open the debate"
 MT. Barker as chairman of the com mittee, had taken his place in front of the speakers desk and was about to open the debate. Vlslbly embar- rassed, he retired in favor of Miss Rankin, who delivered what proved to be the longest speech of the day in Ia vor of the resolution. She spoke with great fervor.
 To-day we are mobiiizing all our resources for the ideals of democ- racy," said Miss Rankin. We are facing the question of political evolu- ton, taking stock of our available energy Something is still lacking in the completeness of our national eff fort. Men who have spent their lives thinking in comm ercial terms may ma it hard to adjust themselves to think ing in terms of human needs. Might it not be that a great force that has always been thinking in those terms could be mobilized? The women of this country have som mething of value to give the nation at this time.
 ''It would be strange if the influ- ence of women, through direct par ticipation in the political struggles through which all social and indus trial development proceeds, would not lend a certain virility, certain influx of new strength and understanding and sympathy and ability to the ex- hausting efforts we are now making.
 '"They have stood back of the men. They have pioneered with them, re- joiced over their successes, encour- aged them. But through all their work they have pleaded for the po- litical machinery which would enable them to do more. Today, as never before, the nation needs it's women"
 Miss Rankin appealed to the South ern embers not to do the women an injustice and said the president had helped to penetrate new prob lems. She said that the United States cannot explain the meaning of democ- racy if congress votes for the war to make the world safe for democracy and then refuses women the vote.
