GERMAN ARMIES
 NEAR DISASTER
Allies Close to Winning Greatest Yic- tory of War-Belgium and North ern France Freed of Hun Menace
 --Hindenburg Line Crumbling.

Washington, Oct. 2-The German grip on northern France and Belgium has been definitely broken. Even the most cautious military observers in Washington agreed tonight that the Hindenburg line was disintegrating and the army officers centered their whole attention on the efforts of the German leaders to extricate their ar mics without crushing disaster.
 Outflanked in Belgium and in the Champagne, the great German zone of defensive works known as the Hin denburg line already was becoming untenable when Feild Marshal Haig's men smashed thru it today just north of St. Quentin. The immediate in- vestment of the city by French troops and the swift widening of the breach northward, coupled with the contin- ued rapid progress of French, Bel gian and British forces in Belgium. 1t is thought here, may possibly up- set the whole German scheme of re- tirement which already had begun on the Rheims front.
 British penetration of the line, it was said, may furnish Marshal Foch with a means to embarrass the Ger man retreat, always with the possi- bility of precipitating veritable rout.
 Huns in Tight Place.
 Ringed in by a wall of victorious enemies over the whole front from the North sea to Verdun, the situa- ton of the Germans is undoubtedly grave. The drive in Belgium is men, acing vital communications on one side, while American and French troops in Champagne are insistently surging forward toward equally vital supply lines on the other. The battle line is assuming the shape of vast trap and thrusts it's jaw open to en- gulf the German armies.
 The German leaders have seen their danger. Official reports to the state department oday indicated that evacuation of the submarine bases on the Belgian coast is imminent. There also is conclusive evidence that the evacuation of the lines before Rheims is well under way. The question up- permost in the minds of army officers here is whether the German high command has acted in time.
 Announcement from Paris that 2,000 prisoners were taken by the French yesterday in operations be- tween the Vesle and the Aisne rivers is significant of the difficulty of get ting troops back safely out of an abandoned fighting line.
 To withdraw the whole 250-mile front where the Allied and American forces are charing forward day aft CT day, will be a stupendous task. With constantly increasing superior ity of numbers and gun power rest ing with Marshal Foch, observers here believe the retreat will be diffi- cult beyond words. There is no possi- bility, it was said, of forecasting what may happen.

Damascus Captured by AlIenby.

London, Oct. 2-Danase;ss, the capital of Syria, was occupied by General Allenby's forces on Tuesday morning, according to an official statement issued today by the British war office.
 More than 1000 Turks were taken prisoner when General Allenby's forces occupied Damascus, the war office announced tonight.
The Mena weekly star., 1918-10-10

The capture of Damascus marks an advance of 130 miles by General AL lenby's forces since September 20; the day he launched his victorious att tack north of Jerusalem. In that time the British have captured more than 5O,000 prisoners, destroyed at least three Turkish armies and driven the enemy from Palestine and a great part of Syria.

GARIBAEDI RELIEF COMMITTEE
 FOR FRONT LINE HOSPITALS

Relief boxes With anaesthetics, surgical dressings, fuel, towels, pill lows, warm clothing and every kind of hospital necessities have been sent to the front line hospitals of Italy by the Garbibaldi Relief Committee, with National headquarters in Montclair, New Jersey. It's most recent donation has been a remittance of $500 which was cabled to Queen Elena of Italy. for the purchase of anaesthetics.
 The Garibaldi Relief Committee received it's inspiration from Miss Italia Garibaldi, grand daughter of the reat Italian liberator, who wrote to Mrs. Florence Reid Underhill, at present chairman of the Committee, that hospital supplies for the front line hospitals would be very welcome and would fill real need. Supplies were sent to Italy through this com- mittee about seven months before the Red Cross was organized in Rome.

During the day more than 300 Italians whom the Germans had em- ployed as road workers, crossed the American front They asserted that the Germans told them that they had better start southward, immediately if they desired food.

]. v. SAMPLE ASKS
VOTERS SUPPORT ON
N0-fENCE LAW idea

wish to call the attention Of the
people of the county to the important
issue I am making as the main plank
of my platform as a candidate for the
Legislature e., what is popularity
known as the "No Fence Law" or a
law requiring owners of stock to
fence in the same to prevent en-
croachment upon the property of 9th
ers...
There is no issue before the people
of greater Importance than this and
undoubtedly the adoption of such n
measure will sooner or later become
general. I would not urge a sweep
ing change at this time, however, nor
ask for the adoption Of Statewide
OF countrywide no-fence law; but |
would work for law enabling the
people of any district to vote upon
and settle for themselves the question
as to whether or not stock shall run
at large.
The advantages Of such law are
too palpable for discussion; but
it would free the roads from stock,
which at present are constant men
ace to life, threatening accident at
every point; and it would enable us
to beautify our highways, which we
cannot do while stock roams at large
upon them.
Nothing will give any section a
greater impetus to development than
a measure of this kind, as it will in
'troduce new era in the livestock in
dustry, and lead to better conditions
fer all. !.
I solicit the support of the taypay-
ers in my effort to enable any com
munity or district to vote upon this
question, letting the proposition be
settled on the local option principle
