NOTES OF THE WAR
tBy R. JELLICoRsE, Elmwood, Tenn.)


The Germans are beginning to fee
the allied pressure in more WAYS thar
one, and have asked the United
States for an armistice, that is tina
we stop fighting, and for a meeting t.
discuss the terms of peace. Fron
the tone of the American press, it i
believed their request will be refused
and they will be told that the Unitet
States terms are unconditional sur
render.
The Belgian army began an ad
vance Sept. 18th, which was success
full. They penetrated to a depth O
nine miles on twenty-five mile front

reported to be getting ready t,

about twenty three miles. On this
line IN four days the British defeated
80 German divisions, 100000 men
In two weeks nearly SO German divi
sions were identified. The British
on this front are completely through
the Hindenburgh line.
The American army now numbers
100000 men, of whom 1850 .OOC
men have gone overseas. Over $50
600 left last month in spite of the
Influenza.

The past week has seen a still fur
Their expansion of the attack on the
western front, and still further re-
treat of the Germans in every sector.
On the northern extremity of the fine
the Belgains made a vigorous attack,
and helped by British and French
troops advanced nine miles on a
twenty-five mile front, and are still
slowly pressing ahead. This advance
has so alarmed the Germans that they
are reported to be making ready to
leave the northernpart of Belgium,
including the parts of Ostend and
Zeebrughe. Further south between
Cambria and St. Quentin the British
are through the Hindenburgh line on
a wide front, while the French oc-
cupied st. Quentin on Oct. 1st. La
Fere has been nearly surrounded by
the French, who have also driven the
Germans back nine miles from in front
of Rheims, and that city, for the first
time in four years is free from the
danger of Smelling. In the Cham
payne American forces have joined
the French, and both together have
pressed the Germans back about
seven miles. Between the ArgOnme
forest and the Mouse, the Americans
have had desperate fighting, but while
their pace has been slakened, but while
are still steadily pressing on.
The number of prisoners and guns
was not as great as the week before,
but the progress was steady every
where, and the German hold on
France and northern Belgium seems
in fair way of being broken before
winter sets in. The steady advance
of the allies and their enormous cap
lures of guns has so alarmed the
Germans, that they keep their artil-
lery as far back as possible, with the
result that their fire is much less
accurate than it was, and conse-
quently it is officially announced that
the American loses are much lighter
than was to be expected in such
heavy fighting. The Germans artil-
lery fire is also not so heavy as it was
a few. weeks ago, and it is thought
that they are running short to some
extent
Not much fighting is reported from
Russia, the most important happen
ing, being the surrender of $4,000

teresting and instructive address was

planned quite thoroly why thes league

what they were trying to accomplish.
A large number of the-League's meet

the grounds that disloyatty was shown
and much trouble created but nothing
OF the kind happened in Atwater. We
were unable to attend this meeting in
person, but many of our business men
did attend and we understand from all
we have talked with that it was a well
conducted meeting and not a word was
uttered that one could take offense at

oils, and on Saturday of last week was
the fifty year mark in their married
life or their Golden Wedding Day.
Nothing in particular had been pre-
pared by the children" here and little
said about the event so as not to
-iouse suspicion of "anything doing."I
However, in the morning of the day,
their pastor, Rev. Hoifjeld of the Nor
wegian Bethlehem church called by
phone and invited them over to his
home to spend the afternoon at his
home and stay for lunch. The invita-
ton was accepted and when they ar
rived we're ushered to the church base
ment where they found the whole
church congregation assembled await
ing their arrival. The ladies of the
church had planned the affair and they
were certainly successful in making it
a complete surprise.
The room was decorated In gold and
white with beautiful bouquets of jon
quils on the tables. Honored guests
chairs were decorated and a gorgeous
wedding cake formed centerpiece for
the table. A splendid luncheon was
served. Several vocal solos and duets
were rendered and Rev. Hoifjeld gave
splendid and most fitting talk on the
occasion. Mr.. and Mrs. Nicholson
were presented with about $50 in gold
as remembrance of the happy occas-
ion.
The newly weds of so years ago are
still young and the smile that the
bride, Miss Gea Brandt wore on her
wedding day has never come off,
even to the end of the Golden Dav.
The bride was 16 and the groom Fl
