FREEDOM OF SPEECH

The iufliction of severe penalties for seditious utterances here and in other Alaska communities should have a galutary effect upon those who are so thoughtless or so igEor- aut as to think the present time propltious for airing their lack of patriotism, :
 Freedom Of speech, one of the greatest heritages of American citi- sens, is for the time practically sus- pended, and this fact must be i'm prsssed upon those of alien al legIance as well as those whose ad- d. brains have been filled with theories of government antasonisric to our own. For the time being the United States is a standing army, composed of every citizen living under the Stars and Stripes. And 'n 8 military government it is necessary that orders should be ooeyed. One of these orders is that seditious utterances and sedi- fous acts will not be tolerated.
 Restriction Of the right of free speech, even in war time, is repuls- i've to Americans, and Is undertak- ca aolely as a war measure. But our people must remember that in lands where militarism is in con trol- these restrictions are ever in force.-Ex.s

Not Seriously Delay Mill
tary Plans.

Washington, Sept. 30.-Spanish IN

Provost Marshal General Crowder,
discussing the postponement of Octo-
Der draft calls on account of the Span

result.
1T may result in shortening the

Der will be continued. The delay does

Put Germany to Most Severe
Test of the War-BeI-
gianS Attack.
CAUSE BULGAR FALL
American Armies in France Force
Germans to Deny Aid to Balkan
Aliy-Hindenburg Line Passed
by Yankees.

London, Sept. 30.-Marshal Foch Is
putting the Germans on the western
front to. the most severe test of the
war. On four important sectors from
Verdun to the North sea Allied troops
are fighting their way into and beyond
the Hindenburg line.
Advance On Five Fronts.
Smashing attacks are being deliver
ed by the British and Belgians north
of Ypres; by the British and Ameri-
cans before Cambria; by the French
north of the Aisne, and by the French
and Americans in Champagne and to
the east. On all fronts the Allied SOL
diers are meeting with success.
Belgians Attack.
On the north the Belgian and British
armies are fighting through the Hin
denburg defense on a front of more
than 10 miles from Ypres to north Of
Dixmude. At some points the attack,
begun today, already has resulted In
an advance of more than pa miles.
U. S. Caused BuIgar Collapse.
Washington, Sept. 30.-The impend-
ing collapse of Bulgaria, General
March said is a direct result of the
concentration of the American forces
on the western front.
Hitherto, General March explained,
whenever a section of the Central EN-
pires was menaced Germany was able
to withdraw divisions from the west
front to bolster up the threatened
point.
That day is past" he added, "as a
result of the concentration of the en-
tire American army on the western
front. This has forced the German
general staff to keep intact their whole
strength in France
The elimination of Bulgaria, the
chief of staff pointed out, should a
separate peace be granted, would fore
shadow the isolation of Turkey and
the re-entry of Rumania into the war.
The effect of these events on the
grand strategy of the war was obvious
he said.
Pass Hindenburg Line.
In the new Franco-American drive
the American forces west Of Verdun
have passed beyond the Hindenburg
line, and are facing the new Kriem-
HELD line. General March was unable
to identify positively American units
which participated in this action.
He said the attack was characterized
by the same sharpness and rapidity
which has heretofore marked the
American operations. On the first
day Pershing's men advanced from five
to six miles. Official dispatches to
date show capture by the Americans
In this sector of 5000 prisoners, while
the French TO the west of them have
taken more than 1000.
General March announced that al
lied American forces operating south
of Archangel have been placed under
command of General Poole of the
British army. The American units are
commanded by Colonel Stewart.

WILL WEAKEN TURKEY
Quitting War by Bulgarians May
Force Sultan Out.
Back Door of Austria viii Stand Wide
Open Before Victorious
Allies.

London, Sept. 30.-If Bulgaria lays
down her arms, Turkey, her armies
shattered by the coup of General Allen
by in Palestine, win be severed except
across the Black sea through Rou-
mania or over the mountain peaks of
Trans-Caucasia into Russia, where the
grip of the German controlled Bolshe-
vik is becoming steadily weaker.
With her supplies of German-made
munitions and raw materials hanging
by such a slender thread, military OBJ
servers believe the Ottoman empire
will have not course left but to fol-
low the example of her Balkan neigh.
Dor.
Turk No Longer Menace.
But it makes little difference to the
Allies whether the Turk abandons
Germany and Austria. If Bulgaria
quits the Turk can no longer be a
menace to their plans.
The back door of Austria will stand
ajar before the victorious British,
French, Serbian, Greek and Italian ar
mics plunging ahead through the noun
tains of liberated Serbia. Only $50
miles ahead of their advance guards
is Belgrade, across the Danube from
the plains of Hungary. They already
have pressed forward a quarter of this
distance since the great Macedonia Of
~fensive began on September IA.
Once owe the river they would be
passing through territory occupied by
the oppressed n~ationalities of Austria
Who have little love for the dual empire
and there would be no great natural
obstacles between them and Buda Pest.
Early winter in the Balkans with the
limited means of communication avail
able would present the most serious
difficulty and one which could not be
overcome before spring.

American Forces Taking Part in
Campaign to Capture
French City.
MAKE SOME PROGRESS
Between Areonne Forest and Meuse
River Yankees Meet Stubborn
Resistance-Over $4,000
Germans Captured.

London, Sept. 30.-American armies
in conjunction with the British and
French, are engaged in two great of
fensive operations in France. Official
statements issued in Berlin and Lon
don revealed for the first time that
Americans are taking part in the at
tack directed against Cambria.
Despite stiffening resistance, the
American drive between the Argonne
forest and the Meuse river continues
to make progress, More than $4,000
prisoners have been taken by the
American and French troops operating
west of the Argonne. Many guns of
all calibers have been captured.
Bulgarian Stronghold Falls.
In the meantime, the Allied often
siye against Bulgaria is speedily going
ahead. British troops entered the
Bulgarian stronghold of Strumnitza,
the keypoint of the Bulgarian defense
against invasion. Serbian troops have
captured Ishtib and are rapidly ad-
v~ancing upon Ushub.
British troops passed the village of
Anneux, and are now within three
miles of Cambria. Slightly farther
south they have captured the village
of Flesquieres. The British here have
also attained a high ridge which rum
toward Marcoing, giving them the adj
vantage of high ground for further
advances. Germans captured by the
British yesterday numbered between
5000 and 5000.
The Americans operating on the ex-
treme right of the British have cap
tured a series of trenches and forti-
fed farms which form the principal
outer defense of the main Hindenburg
line in that section. What American
units are operating there with the
British has not been revealed.
The Americans apparently are OPP
Grating under the command of General
Sir Julian Byng.
German Reserves Thrown In.
One after another German reserve
division was thrown into action yes
terday on the Champagne front in an
effort 20 stop the French operating be-
tween the Suippe and the Argonne
forest and the American First army
corps on the front east of the Argonne
to the Mouse river north of Verdun.
I'VE broke the enemy resistance on
the whole battlefront" says the
French statement issued. General
Gouraud's advance is described as
methodical. After capturing L'Echelle
and Cernay the French are reaching
the line of hilltops overlooking the
Aisne valley. The depth of the French
progress in the two days fighting is
now about five miles.
Yanks Battle Hand t Hand.
Progress of the Americans on this
front was not so fast as on the first
day, but it was steady, the Amer
leans hammering forward irresistibly
Through the Argonne forest the Amer
leans we're advancing only after the
%stiffest fighting hand to hand, the lines
being so close here that the artillery
could not aid.

Service Certificates as Proof.

Washington, Sept. 30.-Immediats
passage Of a Senate bill providing for
the acceptance of service certificates
as proof of death in the collection OF
soldiers and sailors insurance has
been urged by Secretary Daniels In
a letter to Speaker Clark. The secre-

uired to institute court action or await
the termination of the war before
they could secure the benefits of the
Insurance policies.
