SUMMARY OF THE War
fRv Ansoeiated Prass.l

French and American troops today
are stormina the German positions
in Champagne and further east in
what apparently is another major
stroke by Marshal Foeh. The new
offensive 10 progressing favorably
according to early reports.
The new allied thrust in the west
comes on a front which has not been
to advance in Champagne in the de-
feated offensive of July IS east and
west of Rheims. French soldiers are
attacking in Champagne which runs
from Rheims eastward 10 the Ar
gonne west Of Verdun. The Amer
leans are moving forward east of the
Champagne simultaneously with
General Petain's men.
Great possibilities might result
from a successful allied advance on
the front east of Rheims, as the Ger
man communications would be sew
cred and the formidable enemy po-
sition from Arras to Laon endanger-
ed with the important southern end
outflanked.
The length of the attacking front
is not disclosed, but il may possibly
be from Rheims eastward past Ver-
dun to southwest of Metz.
IN MACEDONIA.
In Macedonia tho allies are ad-
vaneing all along the 130 mile ".
shaped front between Monastir and
Lake Doiran. The Bulgarian first
army on the allied left has been
placed in. a dangerous position by
the cutting Of the Prilep- -Veles
road at lzvor, while the Serbians are
in the outskirts Of lstib, 1s miles
east of Velesr and one of the bases Of
the Bulgarian second army. Ap.
parentIy the Veles. Ishtih line, the
most formidable for the enemy south
of Uskub, will prove untenabie.
Northeast of Lake Dorian British
troops have crossed the frontier into
Bulgarian Macedonia threatening the
extreme enemy left flank. Enemy
territory was invaded at kcsturino,
a few miles south of Strumites, the
Bulgarian base in the region north of
Lake Doiran. kostunino is at the
headWatsrs of the Trekanya river,
which flows throuah virtually ievei

the French and Greeks are pushing
eastward from the Vardar river in
the. direction of Strun1itga which is
situated in a valley between two
high mountain ranges,
In local operations between Cam.
brai and ST. Quentin on the western
front the British are pushing further

Chicago, Sept. 26.-A social rev.
olution which will establish an aris-
tocracy based on service and not on
wealth, the abolishment Of great
fortunes, an era OF justice for labor
and capital alike, and world dis
armament were predicted by Samuel
Untermeyer in a speech on What
the war will do for America" last
night before meeting OF Liberty
loan workers.
"Ours is the most unthinkably
unselfish struggle ever conceived by
the brain and soul Of man <or ma

For America, the war will usher
in the era OF social justice. 1t will
accomplish:
First, the public domain, the pub
lie utilities and the natural re-
sources Of the country will revert to
the people,.
Second, child labor will be con-
traband throughout the land. The
law will not permit of labor being
longer regarded as a mere saleable
commodity There will be com
pulsory arbitration.
Third, the reserves that are made
by conservative business by way OF

times OF industrial and agricultural
depression. d.
Fifth, vast land grants still held
by the railroads will be opened to
settlement and monopolies and
combinations will be punished and
suppressed and ruinous competition
will be prohibited.

sons and Rheims and bear evidences
of the hasty retreat of the Germans.
Several are wrecked and the
muzzle Of one was blown off appar~
