Lille completes lne list
With the French Armies, Oct. To-
The irresistible pressure OF Foeh S
armies is forcing the Germans back
upon the fatai triangle where the cul'
minating battle Of the war may take
place
On the extreme left the drive ot
the British, French, and Belgians Is
aimed direct at Mons. On the right
the Americans and French, pushing
toward Sedan and Mi2ieres, are stead.
lily driving the boches before them
toward the region between the sam
bre and Meuse The future is big with
promise. for as the battle progresses
the increasing weakness of the Ger
man reac ion becomes apparent.
Germany now is suffering from the
inherent faults of Iudend0rfcs STRAIT
ergy i the spring and early summer
and the superiority of Foch's methods
of attack subsequently,. Ludendorfi
had promised victory by the use OF
shock divisions formed by emascula
tion of the rest Of the army. Attach
after attack was pushed home TO th'
point of exhaustion. but always the
Allies we're able to bar the road ere
It was too late
Finally Foch judged he German
Army to be sufficiently exhausted anC
struck in turn. Since then the enemy
has had no respite. Instead Of inter
mittent offensives launched after Ions
preparation the allied attacks have
been continuous The dispiriied Ger
mas. to whom a victorious end OF th'
war had been promised before August
have been hammered incessantly
Salient after salient created has bit
ten holes In their line and soolcr O
later compelled wide and costly retire
ment Even now, after the Laon poe
ket has been reduced, there has bee
bulge in the defense line in III
region between the Disc and Serr
and another equally dangerous mort

While the Allies have been advant
ing VIGOROUSLY in the north, the pres

the Americans on the right prevent
the enemy from transferring troops I

This is undoubtedly one Of III

PARTIES
 STILL AT WORK;
 NOTHING FOUND
Rescue Operstions At the Scene of Flyer Disaster Have Brought
 No Results Yet.

There were no new developments reported from the telegraph station near Hadley's camp today. The search parties dragging the river within wide radius of the supposed scene of the accident, have worked continuously, but their efforts, so far, have not been crowned with success.
 Four large grab hooks, which were specially manufactured for the purpose at the N. c. machine shop for dragging the deep places, were sent down on the A. E. c. launch Sunbeam today from Fairbanks and will be put to use immediately.
 Reports received from Fairbanks late this afternoon indicate that the Fairbanks Igloo of Pioneers have succeeded in chartering the steamer Shusana to aid in the search for the hull of the wrecked Flyer and the bodies of the unfortunate victims. The steamer is said to be on her way down to Nenana with small load and it is expected that she will go up to the scene of the disaster as soon as she has com pleted the delivery of her freight in Nenana.

TOMORROW WILL
 BE LIBERTY DAY;
 BUY MORE BONDS
General Holiday Has Been Declared For Tomorrow; Bonds
 Will Be On Sale.

In accordance with the proclama- tion issed by the governor of Alaska, tomorrow will be observed as public holiday and all govern ment offices throughout the terri tory will close.
 In Nenana the general offices of the Alaskan Engineering commission will be closed and only works of such a nature that make a continu- ance of them absolutely necessary, will be performed It is expected that local merchants will also follow suit and declare holiday.
 The main idea for the institution of holidy is for the purpose of giving everybody chance to buy Liberty bonds, and loyal American citizens are urged to take advantage of this opportunity and purchase bonds of the Fourth Liberty loan to the limit of their financial re- sources and thus help win the war for humanity.
 Bond sales will continue through out the day, up to a late hour in the evening, and those who intend buying bonds before the campaign closes on the 18th of this month, are urged to do so tomorrow and get their names on the honor roll which will be made up and posted around town on Monday.
 For the purpose of selling bonds the office of the special disbursing agent will be open tomorrow from 9 a. m. to 5:30 p. m. Bonds will also be sold by the Northern Com- mercial company all day. The com mittee under Mrs. Carl Schmidt. composed of Mesdames F. D. Browne, J. c. Van Orsdel and E. R. Brown. will also sell bonds, and the people are therefore urged to do their buying tomorrow and demonstrate to the world that Nenana is a live town.
 We have got the Hun on the run now and it is the purpose of our government to keep them on the run, and it is therefore the patri otic duty of every American to "come across" and help the govern ment to give affect to their inten- tions and make this world a better place to live in for all mankind.
