drawa of staff physicians, intemes,
nurses and employees
Gan effort has been made" he added
TO leave sufficient number of physi

rendered difficult because Of the patriotic
spirit which has prompted many to 90
in spite Of the representations made to
them that their duty was to remain at

GERMAN ATTACK REPULsED.
Enemy Tried to Break French Hold on
Chemin Des Danes.

Paris, Sept 25,German troops last
night made an effort to regain some Of
the valuable ground recently won from
them BY the French near the western
end Of the Chemin des DANES. They at
tackled in the region of the Noisy farm,
in this area, but according TO to-day !
war Office statement, the effort was an
entire failure.
The statement reads =
"In the course of the night the artil-
lery was active in the region Of st.
Quentin and between the Ailette and the
Aisne.
German attacks in the region OF the
Noisy farm were completely checked.
"0n the Vesle front lively artillery
fire was maintained.
French troops repulsed German raid
ing parties in the Champagne and in Lor-
raine and in the latter region carried out
an incursion into the German lines"
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1918-09-25

On the French sector to the south, only
the artillery has been active. Between
the Ailette and the Aisne, the French
have repulsed German attacks in the i'm
portant territory about Noisy farm, at
the western end of the Chemin des
Danes.
Apparently the allies in Macedonia
have completed the splitting apart Of
the German Bulgarian forces east and
west of the Vardar. The Serbians are
pressing northwestward along the river
toward Veles, which the enemy appar-
emily viii not be able to hold, as other
allied forces are marching northward in
that direction from Prilep.
Standing on the heights along the Bull
garian frontier east of the Vardar south
of Demirkapu pass, the Bulgarians are
offering stiff resistance to allied attempts
TO advance. North of the pass the enemy
is retiring on Veles, and it would appear
that this column has been cut off from
It's comrades further south, thus split

garians fighting on the frontier east of
the Vardar probably are those who fed
before the French, Greek and British
around Lake Doiran.
It Ii believed in Paris the allies will
press ON up the Vardar to Uskub and
then swing eastward and outfank. the
Bulgarians west of Strumitza, rather
than attempt to get over the hills on the
southern frontier. In the region of Prilep
the enemy is being forced toward the
Albanian frontier.
Aerial and artillery activity has in
creased markedly on the American sector
southwest of Metz, but no infantry en-
gagement has resulted. Both the Amer
lean and German airmen and gunners are
busy, the artillery paying special atten-
tion to crossroads and troop formations
within range.

American Headquarters in France
Tuesday, Sept. 24.-Concrete information
obtained from prisoners taken by the
Americans in recent operations does not
indicate an appreciable breakdown in
German morale, according to examining
officers.
It is explained that mans morale il
naturally at the lowest ebb at the mo-
ment of capture and badly shaken by
fighting, exposure, fatigue and possibly
the lack of food, At such times men are
inclined to say things which they would
retract after rest and nourishment.
The number Of prisoners taken by the
Americans s being increased constantly
by incessant raids
Military authorities say they find the
enemy well fed and we'll clothed. Their
rations are generous and nutritious
which is testified to by American sol
diers who ate rations taken from the
dead and wounded when their rapid ad.
vance around 81. Mihiel carried them
