TIMELY NOTES FOR
THE HOME GARDEN

The late appearance of frost has
enabled the fall gardeners to enjoy
Thoroughly the okra, butterbeans
and other vegetables planted in Au
gust. The September and October
paintings of lettuce, beets, ETC.,
have also had chance to make 8
good growth and become hardy.
The recent heavy rains suggest
the wisdom of making our fall and
winter paintings on beds or on wide
flat ridges, to insure adequate drain,
age.
The value Of another garden prin-
ciple-that of planting the seeds in
settled SOILS emphasized during
rainy seasons like this. Soil that is
freshly stirred is, as a rule, too loose
to plant seeds in. If the planting
is delayed until after rain comes,
the seeds are not washed up and
lost when the next rains come. On
the other hand, if the weather re-
mains dry after small seeds are put
in the ground, the settled condition
of the soil brings up the moisture
from below, and good stands are
thus secured. If ne has good seed
it is safe to say that nine-tenths of
the failures experienced in getting
seeds to come up is due to neglect
of this simple precaution.-Norma

sion Division, Louisiana State Uni

PARIS, Sept. %. French and Anne
rican troops began a joint attack this
morning on the Champagne front and in
the region beyond it on the east, today's
war Office anDounces.
The Franco American attack on the
Champagne front is the first Allied
thrust made on that sector since Marshal
Foch accumed the initiative in July, and
is the logical result of the Allied success
in Picarey in driving the Germans back
to the Hindenburg line from Arras to
Leon.
A drive northward in Champagne
threatens the communication lines in
the rear of the Hindenburg defense sys=
ten, where the Germans are struggling
to keep the British and the French from
breaking through While the length OF
the front of attack is not disclosed, it is
probable it extends good part of the
distance from Rheims to Verdun and
probably beyone.

TWO
WAYS

There are only two ways in which we
can end this war.
We can stand together, combine our
forces at home and abroad, and lick the
Huns to frazzle.
Or we can surrender.
If we hesitate, weaken our forces by
division of sentiment, and dilly-dally
along an uncertain policy, we will pro-
long the world agony interminably.
And get nowhere save into deeper
water.
We want to end the fight only one
way. We want to beat Germrny de-
cisively. So completely that never
again will she be able to plunge the old
world into such another nightmare of
bloodshed as this has ben. We want to
end this world agony.
And we can do it only if every fellow
does his part.
We cannot afford to have the war end
in compromise. A drawn battle really
means victory for Germany. Germany
licked, but not thoroughly so, still
means Germany triumphant. Any COM
promise will leave Germany in a pori-
ton to come back again in another forty
years or less and deluge the world with
blood once more.
Germany must be whipped to a stand
still. She must be beaten to her knees.
She musl beg for mercy at the feet of
her conquerers. In no other way can
the German spirit be chastened; The
German ambition subdued.
She must never be permitted to come
out Of the war in position to say that
''the whole world fought but could not
conquer me.
We might as we'll surrender right off
the reel as permit that. For it would
only be matter of years until we should
have to fight it oil over again.
Right now is the time to finish with
Germany. Finish in the way we want
to finish. And end it all for all time.
None of us have the least idea of sur.
rendering. 1t isn't to be considered.
But all of us must stand side by side
in the duty line.
Every fellow must buy Liberty Bonds.
1t is our only way to win.

There appears good reason to be-
lieve that the German losses in pris-
oners alone since the tide turned
against them in France would reach
we'll up toward 100000 were the truth
known. The losses in guns and other
material have not been computed.
Sept. 24-F'rom north of Jerusalem
to the sea of Galilee, in the territory
lying between the river Jordan and
the Mediterranean sea, the Ottoman
forces have been caught by the swift
drive of the British armies and vtrtu-
ally annihilated. The capture of 25,-
900 Turks is officially reported.
Over a front of 80 miles in south
ern Serbia, from Monastir to Lake
Doiran, the entente troops are vigor-
ously assailing the Bulgarians and
Germans. A great spearhead has
been pushed by the Serbians across
the Istib-Prilep road, severing COM
munications between the Bulgarian
army northeast of Monastir and that
in the Lake Doiran region. The Ser

10000 prisoners and 120 guns.
British and French made additional
gains in operations around st. Quen-
tin and Cambria.
Sept. 25-All along the 100 mile
front in Macedonia, from the region
north of Monastir to Lake Doiran,
the entente armies have pressed fur
ther forward against the demoralized
Bulgars and Germans, whose rein
forcements have not been able to
stiffen the line for face about
North of Monastir the important
strategic position Of Prilep has been
occupied.
In Palestine, the British on the
coast have captured the important
towns of Haifa and Acre, while east
of the Jordan the Turks are every
where in retreat, hard pressed by the
British and the tribesmsn of the king
of Hed1as.
To the west of St. Quentin, over a
front of four miles running south
from the Omignon river, the British
materially advanced their front.

WAVES OF HATE FOR KAISER
League of optimists at Given Hour
Daily Will Wish Dire Things
for Huns.

Chicago, nl.-A league Of optimists
has been organized in Chicago with
the avowed purpose Of beating the
kaised by "waves of hate"
Branches are to be formed in every
part of the United States, according
to Doctor Sheldon Leavitt, president
Of the league, who calls himself a
"holy emotionalist." Here is the idea /:
Twice day 100000 optimists
shall at designated hour concentrate
intellectually, grit their teeth, stamp
their feet and simultaneously wish
dire things for the Potsdam crowd.
The enemy shall be mentally annihi-
lated.
The ritual carries with 1t "hymn
of hate" The formula outlined by
Doctor Leavitt is as follows:
81 call down upon the German gov.
ernment disaster, catastrophe, ruin,
disease, pestilence, annihilation and
the plague"
Then all that remains is for the al,
lied armies to crush the foe.

WINNING
ON ALL FRONTS

LONDON, Sept. 26.-Allied forces
are drawing closer to their immediate
objectives on three offensive fronts
Veles, in Serbia; Amman in Palestine,
and St. Quentine, in France. The latest
reports show the Serbians within ten
miles of Veles, the important Bulgarian
concentration point on the Uskub-Sa-
lonika railway.
The Bulgars are retreating rapidly on
the whole 1OO-mile front between Mona
stir and Lake Dorian, while unofficial
reports indicate that retrograde move
ment may be expected, or already is
under way, on the entire Balkan front
from the Adriatic to the Aegean.
Actual invasion of Bulgarian territory
by British cavalry apparently is about to
be accomplished.
British troops, driving eastward from
the Jordan, and Arabs pushing north
ward along the Hedjaz Railway are con-
verging upon Amman. toward which a
part of the Turkish army is retreating.
Capture of this town believed imminent,
is expected to paraIyze Turkish resis-
tance in the whole region south of Da-
mascus.
On the vest front British and French
troops are Tightening their grip on St.
Quentin They are already within less
than two miles of the city on a front of
nearly seven miles, extending from the
northwest to directly south of the city.

Discomfort IN
GERMANY Seen

London, Sept 25.-Addressing the
main committee of the reichstag at
Berlin, Count Won Hertling declared
that the public discomfort in Germany
was not justified by the military sit
uation on the western front
The chancellor opened with the
promise to meet the desire of the
reichstag for information as far as
possible. He proceeded to allude to
the deep discomfort which has
seized circles of the population" and
said that the principal reason was
the pressure of the terrible four
years of war, with all the depriva-
tions and sufferings brought in its
wake, and the sacrifices imposed on
all classes, all families and, more or
less, on every individual.
81 have no intention of trying to
diminish this pressure by words,
he said, but, gentlemen, if this dis
content is influenced by our present
military situation, by the events on
the western front, | must, without
desiring to anticipate a statement
which we may expect from the war
ministry, declare most emphatically
that it far exceeds justitiable limits"
Count Won Hertling admitted that
the last German offensive was unsuc-
cessful and that it had been neces-
sary to withdraw to the Siegfried
line. THE situation is grave" he
added, but we have no cause to be
faint-hearted. We have already had
to pass through harder times"
The chancellor instanced the failure
of the Verdun offensive, the Somme
battles and Brussiloff's mass assaults,
bringing in their train the well re-
membered unfavorable reaction on
the Austro-Italian front Then came
Roumania's entrance into the war.
1--WE never lost courage" he said,
"but showed our enemies what a res
olute will to victory could do"
How do things stand now? We
have peace with Russia and Rou-
mania and even though conditions In
Russia are not yet clear and the fu-
ture appears uncertain, nevertheless
the former menace from two sides
has disappeared and considerable
part of our men of the eastern army
can be employed in the west"

WEEKLY REVIEW OF war

With 1,75O,O 900 American troops now
In France, news from the several bat
tie fronts has been continuously good.
On the western front the new Ameri-
can line in Lorraine was quickly sta
bilized. The enemy has been hur-
riedly Strengthening his line of de-
fense, which lies only mile or two
in front of the American line on
front of about 20 miles, from near
Maizeray to the Moselle river at Van
dires. The Yankees are now 10 miles
away from Contains and IL miles
away from Metz, the great German
fortress in Lorraine.
In Picardy the British and French
renewed their advance on the Cam
brai-St. Quentin front, toward the old
Hindenburg line. In spite of the con-
centration of the enemy forces de-
Tending this sector they have made
steady progress and the enemy is re-
ported to have lost very heavily. 1t
is officially confirmed that 10000 pris-
oners have been captured by the
allies.
On the plateau northeast of Sois-
sons the French have continued to
force back the enemy's best troops
until they are now within half mile
from the junction of the Mauberge
road and the Chemin-des-Dames and
within 10 miles of Laon, which is
being shelled.
On the Balkan front the Serbian
army attacked the Bulgarians on
front of 25 miles and drove them
back about 20 miles. Thousands Of
Bulgars we're made prisoner.
In Palestine new offensive was
launched by the British, French and
Arab forces against Turkish posi-
tions on a 16 mile front. The allies
broke through the enemy lines be-
tween Rafat and the sea and pushed
forward a distance of Is miles.
Eighteen thousand Turks have been
taken prisoner. The main Turkish
forces in Palestine are being closely
pursued by the British. Famous
Nazareth has been taken by the
British. $685.
