SHORTER. LINE READY
German Armies Are Retiring to
Prepared Positions.
indications Are Enemy 10 Carrying
Out Carefully Planned With
draWal.

Washington, Oct. 21.-While the
German retirement in Belgium has
glittering possibilities, military opin-
ion here is forced to the conclusion
that what is in progress is a we'll
ordered and executed withdrawal,
probably upon prepared positions.
The fact that reports from other por-
tions of the front also tell of retire
ments gives the movement indications
of general withdrawal, but as yet no
official information has come to indi-
cate where the line upon which the
enemy will attempt to stand has been
established.
Germans Planned Retreat.
Army officials can take no notice OF
the reports of impending c~apitulation
in seeking the explanation of the Ger
mar maneuve in the field. They can
ascribe those operations to very def
mite and well-developed plans of the
German general staff.
1t was said that the enemy prob
ably has begun the second phase of
the withdrawal he has been com
PEELED to undertake as a result of un-
wavering pressure by Marshal Foch
all along the battle line. Lacking the
reserves with which to make a stand
on an extended front, 1t is to be as
sumed that he is falling back to a
much shortened line where he can
show greater resisting power.

CARRIES SIX BILLIONS
Deficiency Bill Passes House
Without Opposition.
Measure Goes to Senate In Practi.
cally Same Form as Origin
ally Drawn.

Washington, Oct. 21.-The $6,00O,-
100000 deficiency bill was passed by
the House without a dissenting vote
and sent to the Senate in practically
the same form that 1T came from the
appropriation committee.
Before the House took a final vote
several legislative sections were
stricken out on points of order.
They included one for a war salvage
commission to be appointed by the
President and to recommend to Con
gress what disposition should be made
by the government of the property
acquired during the war.
Another would have granted author.
ity to the chief Of ordnance to make
agreements with local authorities for
the government to pay half of the cost
of roads damaged by army vehicles
Besides providing vast sums for the
War department, the bill also provides
$107, PIT 900 for the Navy and $40,
600, 900 for the war risk insurance
bureau to pay allotments to families
of soldiers and sailors.

Declare Their independence and
Brand S0-Called Reforms
Mockery.
WOMEN TO HAVE VOTE
Through Centuries of Oppression the
Hapsburgs Are Declared to
Have Broken Their
Promises.

Washington, Oct. 21.-The Czecho-
Slovak national council, recognized
by the United States and the Allies
as a belligerent de facto government,
has formally declared independence
of the Czecho-Slovak nation.
Emperor Charles so-called reforms
are only mockery-a step to save the
head of the Hapsburg house from the
justice which the Allies will deal out,
the declaration says.
Through centuries of oppression the
H~apsburgs have not kept their word,
and now particularly that Austria Is
a mere vassal of the Pan-Germans, the
word of the H%apsburgs is of even less
worth, the declaration points out.
Women to Have Vote.
The Czecho-Slovak nation will be a
republic. Patents of nobility will be
abolished. Equal suffrage for men and
women is one of the fundamental ideas
OF be embodied I'm the constitution to
be drawn up by elected representa-
tives of the people.

ates the war debt of the dual mon.
archy, saying that those who brought
on the war shall pay for it. One
clause of the document says:
1--WE cannot and will not continue
to live under the direct or indirect
rule of the violators of Belgium,
France and Serbia, the would-be muir.
durers of Russia and Roumania, the
murderers of tens of thousands OF
civilians and soldiers of our blood and
the accomplices in the n~umberless un.
speakable crimes committed in this
war against humanity by the two de,
generate and irresponsible dynasties.'
The declaration says that Francis
Joseph Gin the most solemn manner
promised constitutional reforms, only
to have them nullified by the Germans
and Magyars.
Rejecting the theory of the divine
right of kings as s~acriligious, the dec
laration says:
Declaration Issued In Paris.
Our nation elected the Hapsburgs
to the throne Of Bohemia of it's owl
free will, and by the same right de
poses them"
The declaration was issued in Paris
and a copy was handed to President
Wilson by j. Cisar of the councils
staff in Washington.
The Czecho-Slovak declaration of In
dependence is signed by DR.. Thoma.
G.. Masaryk, president of the council
as premier and minister of finance
and by other officers of the provisional
government.

French Chamber Is the Scene
of IndescribabIe Enthusi-
aSm Over News.
OVATION FOR PREMIER
M. Clemenceau Asserts Victory OF
French and Allies Means Liberia
ton of Civilization and Lib
erty of Human Conscience.

Paris, Oct. 21.-"Our victory does
not spell revenge" said Premier Glenn
enceau, amid scenes of indescribable
enthusiasm in the Chamber of Depu-
ties. Our victory and the victory of
our Allies means the liberation of
civilization and liberty of human con
science"
Paris has lived historic days since
the beginning of the war, but never
since those dark days of August, 1914,
has Paris lived such a day as this"
~Clemenceau looked the Tiger of old
when he assembled the tribune, the
light of victory shining on his whole
countenance.
Huge Crowds Gather.
Long before the hour set for the
opening of the chamber, huge crowds,
overlooking across the Seine to the
Place de La Concorde, had gathered.
Every seat in the chamber was occu-
pied, except those where the French
flag entwined with the crimson plush
of a vacan chair showed that the for
mer occupant had died-that he had
served his country not alone in the
Chamber of Deputies, but on the field
of battle.
After Paul Deschanel, president of
the chamber, told of the liberation of
Lille, Douai. Ostend and Bruges, and
while the deputies and audience were
cheering frantically. Clemenceau arose
from the government bench and made
his way to the tribune with the dust
of Lille still clinging to him.
Can l add anything to the patriotic
words of the president OF the cham
ber?n said the premier, except that
| have just received a telegram land
he waved a blue leafiet toward the
deputies) stating that Roubaix and
Turcoing have just been liberated"
r There was not one discordant voice
in the whole chamber, but two con-
spicuous socialist members remained
seated while the other deputies ap-
plauded.
There should be but one voice
here" said President Deschanel, glar-
ing at the Socialists. They s~heepishly
arose and the incident closed.

Women Stay In Barred Zone.

Washington, Oct. 21.-Few Germans
women have been forced to move out
of barred zones about encampments,
munition factories and other important
wal institutions, as a result of the ex-
tension to them of the restrictions
heretofore applying only to German
males. Reports to the Department of
Justice indicate that nearly all who
lived within these zones have proven
their law-abiding intent, and have
been granted permits by United States
marshals to continue their residence.
Col. Albert Hall Dies.
Fort Worth, Texas, Oct. 21.-Col.
Albert Hall, artillery officer command
ing Camp Bowie, died of pneumonia.
His body will be sent to Indianapolis

TRANSPORT FIGHTS U-BOAT
American Ship Damaged and Eight
Men Wounded,

An Atlantic Port, Oct. 81. = The
homeward bound army transport Am
phion had a two hours running fight
with a German submarine 500 miles
off the Atlantic coast last Saturday
morning, in which eight men on the
American ship were wounded, two ia
tally. The transport arrived here and
reported that SO far as those aboard
could determine the submarine was
not badly damaged, If at all.
The first shots carried away the Am
phion's wireless and she was unable
to call for help. The naval gun crews
replied to the enemy shots and the
transport crowded on all steam, finally
drawing away from the submarine.
The transports superstructure vas
riddled with shells and shrapnel.

Of Verdun, Oct. 21.-More htan 60
American day bomb ~aviators attacked
Bayonville, Buzancy and other towns

German machines. This is said to
have been the largest enterprise yet
carried out by an all-American flying
force.
More than four tons of bombs were
dropped by the American air forces,
the bombers paying particular atten-
ton to Bayonville, where a concen-
tration Of German troops had been re-
ported. Buzancy received its share,
owing to its Importance as a railway
town and the supply depots there.

London, Oct. 20.-British and Amer

German line southeast of lie Cateau
are advancing rapidly, in spite of the
desperate resistance of the enemy. 1t
is reported that 1000 prisoners and
100 guns were captured by the Allies.
Since the fighting began there, the
Germans have been forced back more
than -four miles.
British warships have come to the
assistance of the Allied land forces
in Belgium and are Smelling the Ger

Bruges and the Dutch frontier.
Coast Cleared of Foe.
Relentless pursuit of the r%etreating
Germans in Belgium and down along
the battlefront as far as the area just
to the west of Valenciennes continues.
Virtually all of the coast has been
cleared and Allied patrols are east of
Bruges.
There is a probability that the Ger
mans, by flooding the country east of
Bruges, will be able to delay the adj.
vancing Belgians for a time, but 1t
would seem hat their line is so bent
by the furious onslaught Of the Allies
I'm Flanders that it must be readjusted
for q long distance down into France.

German engineers have been work.

appear to have extricated the bulk OF
their forces from the threatening posi-
ton in which they were left by the
collapse of the line north of the Lys
river.
Americans Forge Ahead.
French and Americans along the
Disc river have forged ahead slightly
but they find the task of advancing a
difficult one. Here the Germans are
holding their line stubbornly while the
forces and material in the Laon salient
"a be moved back in safety. The
advance here, however, seems to be
gaining I'm momentum in the direction
of Hirson, n of the principal rail
road functions behind the German
lines.
British and American troops, con
tinuing their attacks between lie Ca
teau and Bohain, have captured the
important railway center of Wassigny
in addition to other villages, and are
within II miles of Hirson, western bas
tion of the Ardennes. They have tax
en- $500 prisoners in two days.
