Civilians Mingle With Soldiers.

AS the allied troops advanced on
the city the setting was a most dra-
matte one. Civilians mingled with
the soldiers at many points and as
the infantry moved forward, pleas
ure boats moved hither and thither
along the winding canals on the
western edge carrying civilians who
had gathered to see the restoration
of their beloved city. Within the
little white cottages along the banks
of the canal were German machine
gunners whose weapons dominated
the waterways and the roads.
For some reason most of the guns
were silent. Overhead Belgian air
planes swirled and dived like great
birds, but there was no challenge
from the German anti-aircraft guns.
Into this scene of mimic warfare
came the queen of Belgium, who
motored within two and one-half
miles of the city.
Queen Elizabeth looked across
the battle line upon the towering
spirals and red-roof buildings which
stood out like a painting in the
bright November sun. Even the
United States was represented

OF FOES
RETREAT SHAKEN.
BY AMERICANS.
German Armies West of the
Meuse Practically Cut Off
From Direct COmmuni-
cation With Metz.

With the French Army in France.
Nov. 5.-The Franco-American op-
erations west of the Mouse since
November | have shaken the pivot
upon which the entire German re-
treat turns. The Germans are still
making a stout resistance without
modifying the salient feature of the
situation which is that their armies
west of the Meuse are practically
cut off from direct communication
with Metz.
The main reliance of the Germans
now is on the line of the Mouse
which they appear determined to de-
fend, while west of the river their
principal resistance is along the
Ardennes canal. French troops have
reached this obstacle from Rilly-
Aux-Oies, at the bend of the Aisne,
to the river Bar. Here they have en-
countered sustained artillery, ma
chine gun and musketry fire.
The Germans are still holding
along the Aisne between Rethel and
Chateau Porcielr, while further west
indications of retreat were no.
ticed last evening. The Fernch in
pursuit maintained contact with the
enemy's rear guards, and this MORN
ing reached Herpy and the region
east of Recourvrance and Bannogne,
as we'll as height 90, southeast of
Montigny LIE Court.
East of the Disc river, French
troops, on the heels of the retreat
ing enemy, have reached Oudigny
and La Herrie La Melville.

In the Client sector the French

The Belgians hold the line from

thence to the Dutch frontier.
In the last few days the advance
has been comparatively easy, owing
to the enemy's withdrawal to the
Scheldt, but the advance cost the
Germans dear, especially in the Ell
seghem area. The enemy fought
strongly for the high positions north
of Elseghem, but the British at
tackled successfully, and with the

envy to retire.

With Peace Promised,
Inquiries for Land
Make New Record

Railroad officials, who in the past
have had to do with locating set
tiers in Nebraska and other west
err states and who are now known
as agricultural agents, say that since
II became APPARENT that peace is
near at hand, inquiries concerning
land are more numerous than at
any time during the last 10 years.
The railroad land men take it to
mean that the numerous inquiries
indicate that there is to be ire
mendous movement back to the lana
and that, anticipating higher prices,
there is desire to get in prior to
the advance.
1t is said that all out through
western and central Nebraska there
is a tendency upon the part of oc-
cupants of land to hang onto their
holdings and that in many localities
where until few weeks ago there
was a large acreage of land on the
market, much of it has been with

authority, because the uric acid in

come overworked; get sluggish;
,log up and cause all sorts of dis
tress particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumat-
ic twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or if
bladder bothers you, get about four
ounces Of Jad Salts from any good

with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush clogged kid

activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer
irritates, thus ending bladder dis

Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;

HUNS ENGAGE IN
VANDALISM IN
BUzANCY TOWN
Americans Find Many Marks
Showing Activities of Ger
mans During 0Ccupa-
ton of the Place.

With the American Army North
west of Verdun, Nov. Spy AS
ISOLATED Press. )-Buzancy, the larg-
est of towns delivered by the
Americans reflects the spirit of the
vindictiveness displayed by the Ger
mans when they are forced to aban-
don a region they have held for any
considerable time. The town had
been almost wholly Germanized.
French civilians had disappeared a
long time ago and the signs over
the shops we're all in German. On
the streets and avenues such names
as Wilhelmstrasse had been sub
stituted for those in French.
Usual Activities.
There was evidence that the Ger
mans had carried on the usual activi-
ties in the municipality but with
complete contempt for previous con-
ditions and with desire to wipe out
any suggestion as to those who had
formerly lived there. Their de-
parture, however, was marked as in
few other cases, by desire to leave
desolation behind them. From end
to end the streets of the town and
the houses reek with the stencil of
filth wilfully distributed. The place
was scene of loot, wanton destruc-
ton and enfoulment but whether
the work was carried out by order is
not known.
All such things as were portable
are gone from the town. Heavy
furniture, including m a h gany
tables, wardrobes and pianos, was
broken to bits and left in the houses.
Interior decorations were irrepar-
ably mutilated.
Intended to Stay.
1t was not simply garrison COM
munity the German established in
Buzancy, although the town recently
was army headquarters. One of the
houses bore an inscription indicating
it was used rs a rest house or club
house for women. In a store were
found magazines, many of them de-
voted to fashions.
Today. 40 hours after its qccupa-
ton, Buzancy is the center of an
American troop movement. The
short streets are jammed with traf-
fic of war and hills overlooking it
and on the hill overlooking it and
the hills beyond are to be seen lines
of truck trains, marching infantry.
From the south unending supply
trains approach the city along dis
tant routes in order to pass through
Bucanzy, from there to be diverted
along the newly repaired roads to
positions nearer the front.
