ton approximately $685. 900, 900 OF
the 81 or more billions needed by the
nation for the current year, has been
passed by the House.
The huge measure-the largest of
its kind in the history of any nation
now goes to the Senate.
Passage of the bill was unanimous.
A formal roll call, demanded by Ma.
jorlty Leader Kitchin, recorded $50

roar OF cheers and applause.
All possible speed in the bills

of both houses, but this is considered
doubtful.

Mighty Strike Launched by
British, French and Friendly
Arab Forces.
BATTLE IN HOLY LAND
General AIIenby Attacks E?emey on
Sixteen-Mile Front and Drives
Him Back Distance Of
Nineteen Miles.

London, Sept. 21.-Under the i'm
petus of a mighty blow by the Brit
ish, French and friendly. Arab forces,
the Holy Land is afame and the
Turks from the Jordan river west
ward toward the Mediterranean SEEM
ingly are in rout.
Added to their already great losses
in ground, men killed, wounded or
made prisoners and scores captured
in Belgium, France, Italy and the Bal
kans, the Teutonic allies, judging from
hrst reports of the hostilities begun
against the Ottomans in Palestine, are
in for further extremely hard usage.
British Penetrate IL Miles.
III less than a day General Allenby's
British forces, aided by French troops
and natives under the flag of the king
of the Hedjas, struck the Turkish line
over a front Of 16 miles and penetrated
it to a depth of 10 miles, taking more
than 5000 Turks prisoner and over
running the entire hostile defensive
system.
Railway and highway junction points
were captured and strong forces of
cavalry at last accounts were we'll in
advance of the attacking troops,
threatening to carry out a turning
movement against the fleeing Turks
which might prove disastrous to them.
Meanwhile along the shores of the
Mediterranean naval units were clear
ing the coastal roads of the enemy by
their gunfire-
Turks Must Fight Way Out.
In addition to the large number Of
prisoners taken, great quantities of
war materials had fallen into the
hands of the Allied troops and the
pressure against the enemy was going
on undated.
The ~predicament of the Turks is
heightened by the operations of the
Hedjas tribesmen on the east side of
the Jordan, which will prevent them
from taking refuge across the stream
in the Jordan valley and compel them
to fight their way out of their trouble
west of the river as best they may.

With the American Armies in Lor-
raine, Sept. 23.-Although it is only
a week since the Franco.American

from possession of the enemy, former

MORE BLOWS COMING
Military Observers in Washington Be-
lieve Fall of St. Quentin Will Be
Followed by Big Attack
to the South.

Washington, Sept. %. - Many
changes in the battle situation in
France are foreshadowed by the i'm.
pending capture of St. Quentin and
the clearing of st. Gobiau forest, indi-
Gated by the steady progress of the
British and French forces to be only
a matter of a day or two.
Both Allied and American military
officers here are confident that new
blows will fall Immediately upon the
Germans, denying them any rest or
chance to reorganize their battered
units, but the actual plans of General
Foch, supreme commander, are as
much of a mystery here as they are
IN Berlin.
1t now appears certain that General
Pershing's first army has for the mo-
ment completed its allotted task, hav-
ing blotted out the St. Mihiel salient
and restored to Allied use railways Of
vital Importance in future operations.
In addition, the Americans have es-
tablished positions in the vicinity of
Metz which constitute a direct threat
at that fortress which the enemy can
not ignore. AS yet, however, there is
nothing to indicate that the American
commander has embarked on the far
reaching campaign which would be
necessary to attempt the capture of
Shis German stronghold.
Germans Building Defenses.
For the moment the Allied offensive
effort is concentrated on the st. Quen-
tin-La Fere-Laon front. There is,
therefore, a strong feeling here that
larger operations which the supreme
commander may contemplate in the
immediate future hinge on breaking
the enemy's resistance in this region,
forcing him to a new retirement.
Throughout more than two months
af %unceasing battle since Marshal
Hoch struck his first counter blow last
July. the Rheims-Verdun front has re-
NAMED quiet. To the eastward, Per-
shing has cleared up the ST. -Mihiel
salient that impeded French opera
'iIuB nm this vicinity and many Off
JceFs feel that a thrust between the
ftwo French fortresses of Rheims and
FVerdun, which have stood firmly
against the enemy, is now to be ex-
'E5ected with the purpose of thanking
: the whole German front to the north
and at the same time pave the way
for a campaign against the great
Metz-Thlonville stronghold.

SHOWS FOE CLAIMS FALSE
General Pershing Captures German
Military Orders.


Washington, Sept. 21. - Captured
German orders prove conclusively that
the German official boast that Amer
lean troops took the St. Mihiel salient
because the German army had been
considering the evacuation for years
is a typical deception.
The official orders of the Tenth Ger
mai division, dated Sept. s, far from
giving orders for a retreat which had
been planned '.for years." gives the
most detailed instructions for defense
of the salient. General Pershing
transmitted a copy of the order by
cable to the War department.
The German commanders thought
they had provided for every contin-
gency.
