Troops Reach Roulers.

WITH THE ALLIED ARMIES IN
BELGIUM, Tuesday, Oct. IS. g p. m.)
-Menin has fallen. Allied troops
are mile east Of Roulers and ad-
vanced patrols are, according to latest
reports within a mile of Courtrai. The
Lys river seems to have been crossed
between Confines, which has been cap
tured, and Warneton.
Reports indicate that another cross
ing of the Lys has been effected at
Wervicq, although this has not been
confirmed at this hour.
South of the zone where the mud
spattered allied troops are fighting
their way forward through the rain
and the mist and over sticky ground
the enemy has begun a withdrawal.
His troops are being moved backward
from Pont-a-Vennin and Berclau and
from the Rolleghem front. Here Brit
ish patrols have reached the outskirts
of the town of Meurchin.
Everywhere the Germans are fight
ing rearguard actions with large num-
bers of men involved in the struggle.
The battle is being fought in con-
tinuous rain, which makes the fighting
increasingly difficult. Troops storm
ing ahead lose their footing in. the
ooze, some sinking in as far as their
knees. The wounded returning from
the front are plastered with mud

and the Belgians have captured Be

The enemy is showing signs of great

Women Of u nited States
Are Urged to Demand
Absolute Surrender

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-An appeal to
the women of the United States to de-
mand unconditional surrender as the
only price of peace was issued last
night by Miss Elizabeth Marbarry,
hononry president of the women's ma
tional committee of the American De-
fense Society.
''The time for pacifists and pussy
footers is over" she asserted. "They
were inferred by President Wilson in
1917, and should they become resur-
rected, they must be inferred for once
and all by the American people. Be-
cause our enemy is now tasting the
sniveling and afraid, is the reason why
we should refuse to parley now. De-
mand that the only price OF peace
must be the surrender and the defeat

the scourge of war upon the world

IS YOUR NAME ON THE LIST?

Thursday. Friday and Saturday
three days only remain of the Fourth
Liberty Lean campaign. The COM
piled list of subscribers shows that
many persons have been added dur
ing the last three or four days. Also
that many others have increased their
subscriptions. In the remaining three
days there should be hundreds Of new
names added to the list, which now
totals 8.151 for the entire county.
Next Saturday night when the cam
paign closes there will be just two
classes OF citizens-those who did

ual inability to subscribe. But they
are very few. Wayne county's record
in the Fourth Liberty Loan will be
an interesting document for public
information in the future. There are
hundreds whose names are still miss
ing but who have yet ample time to
make a paying investment as well as
to show their patriotism. There are
three days remaining Please remem-
ber that the Fourth Liberty Loan
campaign closes Saturday night. Sub
scribers also should remember that
their first payments are now due at
their bank and should be made on or
before Saturday.

are within two miles of Courtrai. This
completely outflanks Lille from the
north and the Germans will probably
be forced out of that city in a very
short time. The allies are now about
eleven miles from Bruges, and %
miles from Client. They have advanced
in the neighborhood of seven miles
since Monday morning.
Americans Take Hill.

of barbed wire defenses and over
tangled lines of trenches the Ameri-
cans west of the Meuse river are

dominates much of the country west
of Romagne and have penetrated the
second line Of defense in the vicinity
of Landres-et-St. Georges.
The battle in this area has been Of
most severe nature and the Ger
mans are making every effort to hold
their positions. They understand the
critical situation which has developed
there and are pouring fresh troops
into the struggle in the hope that the
American onslaught may be stayed
before it reaches the important rail-
road lines in the rear of the German
front. A victory for the Americans
in the Argonne sector would decide
the fate Of Germany on the western
front and compel a general retreat by
the enemy from the most of the
French ground he still holds
French and Italian troops are NOV
ing more slowly along the line from
the Disc to the Aisne than they did
on Sunday when they wiped out the
greater part of the Laon-La Fere sa-
lient. From all accounts it would ap-
pear that the German are gradually
emptying the pocket formed when the
allies broke the lines north of st.
Quentin and along the Aisne at Berry

French Pass SIssone.
The French, however, have passed
Sissone. formerly one of the principal
concentration points for German
troops in this part of the front Gener-
al Gouraud's army has crossed the
Aisne west of Rethel and this advance
would appear to render the position
of the enemy further east rather peril
Gus. AS the progress of the French in
this region continues, the Germans in
the Champagne sector seem to be
slowly involved in another pocket

tirement on various sectors of the

URGE PRUSSIAN REFORM.
COPENHAGEN, Tuesday, Oct 10
The last obstacle to the reform Of
Prussia's antiquated three class fran
chise has been removed by the adop-
tion unanimously of the following
resolution by the conservative faction
in the Prussian diet: In the hour of
the fatherland's greatest distress and
in realization that we must be equip
ped to fight hard battles for the in
tegrity of he fatherland's soil, the con-
servative party Of the diet considers
1t patriotic duty to lay aside all in
ternal conflict and be ready to make
heavy sacrifices to attain the ends in
view. The members of the party be-
lieve that far-reaching radicaliza-
ton of the Prussian constitution will
not advance the welfare Of the Prus-
sian people, but are nevertheless pre-
pared to abandon their opposition to
the equal franchise in Prussia, in
accordance with the latest decision Of
their friends in the House of Lords.

YANks MEET RESISTANCE

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Oct. 16.
The Germans today continued their
resistance against the advance of the
American forces on this front, the
strength of the opposition fully equal
lying that OF yesterday.
With the machine guns, some artil-
lery fire and minor counter attacks,
the Germans this morning interposed
desperate resistance to Pershing's men
all along the line.
All the counter attacks were easily
repulsed They had the appearance
because of small number of members
employed, of being efforts to throw
confusion into the American ranks In
order to gain time.
Gain On Meuse.
Substantial gains on both sides OF
the Meuse against stubborn resistance
by reinforced enemy, was reported
today by General Pershing in his COM
munique for Tuesday.
French forces last night captured
the village of Acy-Romance, within a
mile of the important railway juno
tion of Rethel, in the Champagne, the
French war office announced today.
The French made some further prog
ress to the north of Sissonne, while
between Sissonne and Rethel they re-
pulsed a violent enemy counter at
tack near ST Germainmont.
Italian Forces Advance.
Gains of ground by British patrols
during last night in the DouaiLille
sector are reported by Field Marshal
Haig in his official statement today.
The text of the official statement
issued at the Italian war office today
reads:
There has been considerable local
fighting from Lake Garda to the Bren-
ia valley. Our artillery has carried
out effective bombardments in the
Lagarina valley and the Arsa valley.
Patrol encounters favorable to us
have been fought at Concalaghi and
in the Arsa valley.

ENDORSED BY ALL ALLIES.

LONDON Oct. 16.-Declaring that
every allied country will endorse Pres
ident Wilson'S note to Germany the
Chronicle says;
There is no closing of the door on
negotiation and yet there is no open
ing for side tracking correspondence
nor a retirement in the silence.
There is in the note no pretext for
ambiguity or misconstruction. Presi-
dent Wilson points out that the accep-
tance Of his terms means the end Of
Hohenzollernism and here he un-
doubtedly speaks the mind Of all the
allied democraCies We have to in
sist upon its removal by a process of
eradication on which there can be no
going back"
The Telegraph describes President
Wilson's note as "one of the hardest
hitting communications ever given out
under the form of diplomacy"
I'VE are much mistaken if it does
not prove the decisive political blow
at the system which made war and
which must be utterly rooted out and
destroyed before the war is over"
The newspaper continues, This is the
day of Nemises at last and the words
Of the President prove that the Ameri-
can people, no more than ourselves,
will shrink from the task of retribu-
ton"
Has ShatterNng Force.
The Daily News says: President
Wilson's reply goes with shattering
force and directness to the heart of
the business. Kaiserism has made the
earth a shambles and Kaiserism must
go as an assurance that the earth
shall never be a shambles again. That
is the core of the reply.
1T Is the most momentous declara.
tion Of world policy ever uttered and
has behind ii the embattled strength
of civilization and the sanction OF de-
mocracy in every land. No more
kings in shining armor must be toll
Grated on this planet.
In approving President Wilson's re-
ply to the German note the Daily Ex-
press says today: 1T is a clear and
unequivocal reply. While the
kaiser remains the kaiser there can
be no peace. The Germans must
choose for themse'r"- They can
