SLAVS UNITE ON WAR AIMS
LEADERS LAY PLANS BEFORE
PRESIDENT WILSON.
Oppressed Nationalities of Austria.
Hungary Will Support
United States.

Washington, Sept 23.-Leaders OF
the Czecho-Slovaks, the Jugo-Slavs and
the Poles at conferences in Washing
ton the past two weeks, have agreed
upon a program of aims of the op-
pressed peoples in Austro-Hungary
which has been laid before President
Wilson
Creation of new central body Of
the Central European groups which
will protect the interests of all of
them was forecast in the announce
ment of the result of the conference.
Promise War Support.
President Wilson was assured that
not only had the oppressed nationali-
ties within Austria-Hungary severally
reached agreements for the forwarding
of their own nationality aims, but also
had agreed to uphold the President
and the American people in winning
the war
The President was told that Ger
many, realizing that unity of these
peoples would be blow to Teutonic
power and aspirations, had set her
propagandists to work among the
Poles in this country in the hope Of
creating a clash with the two other
groups. This propaganda has failed,
the President was informed, and the
Poles are unitedly behind the Ameri-
can government.

FOE POWER FAST CRUMBLING
GENERAL MARCH COMMENTS ON
NEWS FROM ALL FRONTS.
Chief of Staff Says $4,000 American
Troops Have Been Sent
Abroad.

Washington, Sept. 23.-Striking
proof that the German power is fast
crumbling came in the announcement
by General March, chief of staff, that
the news from all battle fronts was
continuously good and 1,750,00O
American troops have now been EN-.
parked for overseas service.
Just six months ago the enemy
flung his full military power against
the British lines in Picardy in the
great drive that was to end the war
in a smashing victory. Today he is
fighting desperately to hold the totter-
ing Hindenburg line, the defensive sys,
tenn from which he struck that blow
and back into which he has been
hurled.
Side by side, British, French and
American armies have broken definite
ly the German offensive power, in Of
fetal opinion here. Already the Amer
lean forces in France are more than
half as strong as the whole German
army and the tide of American fight
ing men toward France is continuing
at an even pace.

SHOWED HUNTER NEW TRICK
Willy Fox Climbed Tree to EVade
Enemies and Finally Made His
Escape Unnjured.

One of the slyeSt foxes that has
been liberated by the Speakman hunt
in many years led Pennsylvanians
chase recently. The fox kept the
huntsmen going for half an hour,
when they suddenly lost him. They
found a tree under which the hounds
were baying and cavOrting but despite
q diligent search being made, no trace
could be found Of the fox.
The huntSmeG were about to turn
back when one of their number hap
pened to cast his eyes up in the tree.
and there on one of the limbs sat the
willy fox. Recovering from their
amazement, straws were drawn to de-
termine who should climb the tree. 1t
fell to the lot OF William Speakman.
Being an expert climber, Speakman
was soon out On the branches, and
giving the limb a vigorous shake, Rey-
nard tumbled off.
Although he fell q distance of 30
feet he was not injured in the least.
He gave the dogs another lively chase
as far as Thomas Farm, where he saved
his brush by holing.-Philadelph
