IF YOU HAVE NOT
 PAID YOUR PAPER
 BILL, THIS MEANS YOU

Last month the Review inaugur ated the scheme of dispensing with collectors to collect subscription ac. counts and the new idea was put into operation without a hitch. The government forbids us to deliver papers to subscribers whose sub scriptions are not paid up regular iy. Although we found it necessary to discontinue a few subscriptions we let the unpaid subscriptions of some Of our cid time subscribers run over until this month with the expectation that they would adjust the small amounts this month. All cf the bills now have been mailed and as these are due when present ed we urge our subscribers to pay direct at the office and not force us 10 discontinue delivering the paper to them. We appeal to you to cooperate with us and help us live up to the governments regula- tions to eliminate all wastage of print paper by paying yodr sub scriptions direct to the business office.

Reign of Terror Eclipses Any thing Outside World Can Imagine, Says Message From Neutral Country

WASHINGTON. Sept. 17-Informa- tion reaching the state department to- day from a neutral country threw new light on the situation in Central Rus sia, where a reign of terror conducted by the Bclsheviki has made the posi- tion of the pOpulace tragic in the ex- treme and endangering citizens of the entente powers who have been unable to leave the country.

 The assassination of Moses Uritzky, head of the commission against the counter revolution and the attempt CT the life of Premier Lenin were indirect results of this condition of tyranny said the advices.

 The near-east furnished the most sensational news of the day, however. The offensive which has been launc:l- ed there seems not only the most sue cessful but most pretentious in many months. It appears probable that a further advance by the FrancO-Ser- bians win necessitate the recalr of the Bulgarian divisions which have been lent to Emperor William to bolster the Teuton resistance in France and Flanders.
 An official Serbian report declares that the reconstructed army of the battered, but not beaten, little king dom has taken not only 5000 prisoners but an important park of cannon. The Bulgars admit having retired but de- clare the attack has been checked to the north of Gradeshitsa. There is nothing to indicate, however, an ad- vance of the Serbs and French has been definitely held up.
 The lun in the fighting in the west is regarded by military critics as merely the prelude to further heavy blows at the foe by the Americans, British and French armies.
 The British advanced their lines slightly at several points. They are making steady progress in the invest ment of St. Quentin, a difficult task even under most favorable conditions.
 General Petain's veterans are forg- ing ahead slowly but surely in their grim and desperate struggle for the nnhafn fnwagT ruhfnh ha a n c have been ordered to hold at all costs. Not only is the position a natural citalel, but the Teutons have fOrti- fled it in every way their ingenuity could devise. Notwithstanding the difficulty of their task, however, the French are moving on, taking prison CTS as they go.
 On the American front the last twenty-fOur hours have been the quietest since General Pershing's command launched it's irresistible drive against the St. Mihiel salient. There are indications that the Ger mans intend to retire behind the Hin denburg line in this sector. They are burning villages along the Moselle and in other sections. This procedure usually is preliminary to a retreat
 Another victory has been recorded for the Americans, British and French on the newly constituted eastern front Detachments of the allies have routed Bolsheviki forces in the yIcr;- ity of Archangel and it is reported many of the Red Guard officers went over to the allies when their men fled in panic.

 CAMPAIGN FUNDS
Question of Probing Into Ex- penditures of Huge Funds Now in Hands of Elections Committee

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-lnvesti gation begun by the department of justice into expenditures of funds in recent senatorial and congressional campaigns in a number of states may be followed by inquiries by the senate elections committee into exp ae counts of candidates for nomination to the senate.
 A resolution authorizing the commit tee to inquire into expenditures In the recent primary in Michigan, in which Truman N. Newberry received the re publican nomination for senator and ir any other state where large expendit ures appear unwarranted, was intro duced in the senate today by Senator Pomerene of Ohio, democrat.
 The resolution was referred to the elections committee after some Gis cussion.
 While the senate was discus sing the resolution it became known that the department of jus tice had begun an investigation into campaign expenditures in New York. Illinois, Michigan ard other states.
 In offering his resolution Sen ator Pomerene filed a copy of the expense account of Mir. Newberry in his campaign. which showed total contributions of S17S.S56 and a total expenditure of S176.55S Contributions to the fund, accord ing 10 the report ranged from S1 10 S99,OOO.
 Opinion regarding the senate authority to conduct such an in- vestigation before candidate was elected to office was divided. Seu- ator Pomerene declared there was no question as to the senate's au- thority but Senator Lodge and ether republican leaders sal they did not think the senate had such powers. If the investigation is to be made. however. Senator l. 'dge urged that it be sweeping and D. ply to all states
 Senator Townsend defended Mir. Newberry and while not Oppos- ing the investigation, said this is not the time to make it.

ANswER HUN CHALLENGE

AMERICAN ARMY ON THE LOR- RAINE FRONT, Sept. F, (By the As sociated Press. .)-American artillery, infantry and aviators made emphatic replies today to the German challenge all along the newly established line. The enemy bOmbarded certain points with vigor an dthrew over quantities of gas, largely of the mustard variety, while airplanes endeavored to force their way throu ghthe aerial defenses. but evidence was wholly lacking that the Germans contemplate any at tempt to regain the territory they have lost.
 Their high command apparently ins- tend to adhere to the policy which re- suited in the relinGuishment of large section without a bitter struggle.
 Reports brought in by aviators as well as information obtained from prisoners and verified by patrols show the Germans are strengthening their trenches along the Hindenburg line but there is nothing to show they are reinforcing their lines to a degree that might mean a strong counter move ment
 Patrols sent out by the Americans have been successful not only in re, connaissaince but in bringing in pris. oners. Many of the prisoners are stragglers but among them were the crews of several lost or isolated ma chine guns. In some cases they had been taken from cOuntering patrols
 There was much German activity on the extreme right of the line where the enemy vigorously shelled and gassed the woods north of Pont-A Mousson and in the vicinity of Nor roy. Machine gun action north oi Beney was spirited while the German artillery was active from Haumont

 government is concerned. Secre-
