Washington, October 1.-Further ad- vances by the American forces attacking along the Mouse river and in the Ar gonne forest were reported in General Pershings communique for today, re- ceived tonight at the war department. American patrols have passed beyond Cierges and are maintaining contact with the enemy.
 More than 100 hostile planes and 2l balloons have been shot down by Amer ican aviators since September 26 Gen. eral Pershing said.

WILL THRILL AMERICA

London, October 1.-"Never in this war have we seen keener or braver soldiers or more intelligent, high-minded men than the two divisions in the fighting north of St. Quentin" writes the off, .cial correspondent with the Australian forces in France in describing the Amer- ican assault on the Hindenburg line in the direction of Joncourt on Sunday.
 Some day, when the full story of this battle can be told, the American people will thrill with pride in these magnif- cent troops upon whom 8 tremendous task fell,' he continues. They were faced by the most formidable task that could be imposed upon them-the break ing of two double systems of the greatest defense line the German empire ever constructed On the left of their at tack there was some uncertainty regard ing the situation and this increased the difficulty of their work, yet these troops. working under the enthusiasm of their high ideal. carried through their assault. penetrated deeper even than had been intended, and delivered blow which at tracted the greater part of the enemy's resistance. Beyond all question, they made it possible to break the great de- fensive line in a position of the utmost
 importance to the allied cause

FINAL VICTORY NEAR

''Despotism is at it's last gasp; the final victory of democracy is at hand ;
 The Daily Mail says that Austria is placed in a terrible position, while if Turkey does not make peace immedi- ately nothing can prevent her destruc- tion and dismemberment. The collapse of German influence in Ukraine and the Caucasus, it adds, will quickly follow
 The hope of rehabilitating Rumania is confidently expressed by several of the writers "Rumania may now" says the Post. shake off the chains of serv itude. and emerge a free nation"
 Warnings are uttered to avoid the error of regarding Germany as beaten.
 She will fight to the death" says the Times, "and she and Austria may yet offer prolonged and obstinate re- sistance. UnrelaXed efforts by the all lies therefore, are still necessary
 The Daily Chronicle also warns that it will be a long time before the de- mobilization of the Bulgars and the other terms of surrender can be eff fected, and adds:
 What has happened does not spell the definite and inevitable defeat of the Germans and Austrians; it merely opens fresh and valuable avenues thereto"

TANK EEs REFUSE HUNS

Paris, October 1.-(By the Associated Press.)-A German counter attack in the vicinity of Apremont, on the battle front northwest of Verdun, was successfully beaten back in the forenoon of today by the Americans. Otherwise the fighting on the American front was virtually al standstill.
 The broken roads and destroyed bridges are being repaired in order that the transport of supplies to the front may be continued with greater regularity There was no change in the battle line at 2:3J O clock this afternoon, when this dispatch was filed Al
 The enemy s~tasualties continue heavy under the American artillery and infan- try fire and the operations of the Amer ican tanks. The trench strength of one company of Germans war reduced from 60 to Is. Another company lost 90 per cent of it's effectives.
 The enemy on Tuesday was continually bringing up endorsements, leading to the belief that it is his intention to en- deavor to hold his present line, at least temporarily.

Bessemer, october 1.-(Special)-The most flattering attentions were shown the 26 seectmen who left Bessemer this morning for Camp Sever by the citizens of their home town, A delegation of friends and patriotic citizens that ex- tended the length of three blocks formed ar arch of United States flags and flags of the allies through which the men walked on their way to the Alabama Great Southern depot, where they en- trained amid the cheers and good wishes of their townsmen. Forty-one men were scheduled to leave today, but industrial claims were entered by the corporations in the district for fifteen of the men and they were excused from entering the service at the present time.
