Perry township, in which the town
of Economy is situated, and which has
never failed to respond promptly to its
obligation in any war campaign that
has been waged, reached its quota OF
$40,700 last evening. John Manning.
Of the Northern Wayne Bank and FL
vim Oler, a prominent farmer of the
township, were at the head of the
township organization which undoubt-
edly was one of the best that has ever
been gotten together in any part of
the county. The community spirit
which prevails in Perry and several
other townships in the county, was re-
sponsible for the determination of the
citizens of Perry to finish it's work
and it was finished in two days ex-
actly. What Perry township has done,

every other township in the county
can do. The quotas were all based on
the taxable wealth of the townships
and Perry's burden was as heavy in
proportion as that of Richmond and
Wayne township.
Second Solicitation.
In a general way the situation TO-
day was regarded as somewhat i'm
proved. though scores of reports were
filed with the committee showing that

BAKER SEES ADVANCE.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE CHAMPAGNE FRONT. Thurs
ady, Sept. 26.-Secretary of War New
ton D. Baker witnessed the beginning
of the American drive along the front
northwest of Verdun this morning. Al
five o'clock, after the enemy positions
had been bombarded with high explo
sives and gas shells, the American in
fantry advanced.
Squadrons of tanks again formed an
effective part of the attacking force
especially in the region of Chepty
These land battleships" moved up
with the infantry, smashing down wire
entanglements and routing the enemy
from machine gun nests. The work
of the American airplanes was one of
the features of the combat. An aerial
barrier was maintained over the line,
preventing the enemy from observing
the movements of troops In spite of
the fog, the airmen swooped low over
the enemy's trenches, and materially
assisted the advancing infantry.
Without a hitch and absolutely ac-
cording to schedule, the entire line
was moving tonight into positions par
alleling the line of attack.
Magnificent Spectacle.
Last nights bombardment of the
German lines preparatory to the at
tack begun this morning, was mag
nifcent spectacle. 1t was a cloudless
night and thousands of guns, all fir
ing fuTiOusly, wreathed the hills in a
ceaseless sparkle of flame like my
riads of fire flies. For six hours the
roar Of the cannon, like the roll Of a
giant drum, was unbroken

suspicious of an attack some where

LoNDON, oepl. Gt-I Hc DIlllSlt
government today received from an
official authorized source all applica.
ton from Bulgaria for an arrlistice.
WASHINGTON Sept. 27.-The Bnl
garian plea for an armistice on the
Macedonian front pending peace con-
ference is viewed here with mixed
sensations, though nowhere is doubt
felt that the invasion of Bulgaria by
the victorious allied armies marks
the beginning of the end of that coun-
trys career as an active ally of Ger
many.
In military quarters the belief is ex-
pressed that Bulgaria is whipped and
ready to quit and that the peace pro-
posal actually came from the army
and Premier Malinoff without the
knowledge or consent Of the German
controlled court as stated in the press
dispatches, through Berlin, which
brought the first news of the develop
ment. The very fact that the German
military authorities permitted the dis
patches to go through is held to prove
this and it is suggested that the situa-
tion must be so grave from the Teu-
tonic standpoint that it was realized
in Berlin an attempt to suppress the
information would be futile.
On the other hand some government
officials are strongly inclined to sus-
pect another phase Of the general Teu-
tonic peace offensive and this idea
was not dissipated even by the offic-
ial announcement from Paris that the
French commander in chief in Mace
donia had reported the Bulgarian re-
quest and his reply that he would re-
ceive duly qualified delegates of the
Bulgarian government without cessa-
ton of hostilities.
PARIS, Sept. 27.-The French com
mander reports that the Bulgarian re-
quest reached him through an inter-
mediary, the general commanding the
British army in the east, forming a
part of the allied command. General
D'Esperey's reply therefore asked the
Bulgarian delegates to present them
selves to the British lines.
General Franchet D'Esperey, COM
manding the allied armies in Mace
donia has telegraphed to the French
government that high Bulgarian Of
ficer has presented himself in behalf
of General Torodow, commanding the
Bulgarian army, asking the suspens-
ion of arms for forty-eight hours TO
permit the arrival of two authorized
delegates from the Bulgarian govern
ment
The minister of finance Liappcheff
and General Loukoff, commanding the
Bulgarian second army are on their
way to the French headquarters with
the assent of King Ferdinand to ar
range the conditions of the srmistice
and eventually the terms of peace.
LONDON, Sept c7.-Germany in
tends to send solemn protest to Bul-
garia against Premier Malinoff's re-
quest for an armistice, according TO
Berlin reports received in Amsterdam
and forwarded by the Exchange Tele-
graph company.
The Berlin message to Copenhagen
gives the first indication of any move
made by Bulgaria to approach her en-
enies with conciliatory proposals.
The message, in it's bare outlines,

line that has long been quiet, the Ger
mans evidently were aware that the
assault was impending and knowing
it's power, haG withdrawn their heavier
guns and most of the forces in the
first lines to positions further north.
For this reason the advancing French
and Americans encountered more than
might have been expected over much
of the front attacked.
When viewed on the map, the
ground wrested from the enemy dur
ing the first day of the offensive. takes

to be flying northward.
U. S. Forces at VIosnes.
Dannevoux, a village on the western
bank of the Meuse, approximately 5
miles north of Dead Mans Hill, north
west of Verdun, is the deepest point
of penetration officially indentified
General Pershing's report. however,
would appear to indicate that the
Americans must have nearly reached
Vilosnes. north of Dennevoux, and
moved ahead along the Airf River on
the eastern edge of the Argonne for
est. into the neighborhood of Chateau
and EXermont.
Ahead of the advancing French and
Americans are a number of important
railway lines which feed the German
positions along the front. If the drive
continues to progress, it will carry a
distinct threat to the whole German
position north of the Aisne, west of
the present battlefield and also tend
Metz and Briey.
That the enemy has prepared lines
to which he is retiring is the belief
of observers. Just where this line is
located is not known exactly, but 1t is
probable that the rate Of progress of
the allies. if maintained, will bring
them up against this new front very
soon.
Bulgarian forces In Macedonia seem
to be fleeing in what resembles disord-
er. from the hills to the east of the
Vardar river. British units invaded
Bulgaria, having reached kosturino, In
the hills south Of Strumitza, the Bull
garian fortress on the Macedonian
frontier. This advance probably will
cause a rearrangement Of the Bulga-
rian army on the line which passes
through the lowlands between Lake
Dorian and the sea and bring Bulga-
rian face to face with an invasion over
wide front.
Turkish Force Destroyed,
Along the Vardar the Serbians and
French have swept over Bamuna pass
and taken Veles, while to the east
they are in the outskirts of Ishtib. In
this region they threaten an invasion
of Bulgaria from the west. They are
within ninety miles of the Bulgarian
capital at Ishtib. 1t is probably, how
ever. that an effort will first be made
to take the City of Uskub, % miles
northwest of Vesles. Uskub is said
to be the chief supply center for the
enemy armies in Old Serbia.
On the western side of the battle
area, the shattered Bulgarian forces
are threatened with development it is
reported 1t is reported that the Turk
ish army in Palestine has been virtu-
ally destroyed. More than $4,000 pris-
oners have been taken by the British,
while the Arabs have swung around

Turks from Damascus.

i@ouuoH-lne DenuNiOr OF the
American troops at Chateau Thierry
has demonstrated more thnn anything
that has happened on the American
front the splendid initiative and en-
terprise with which the American ar
my is endowed. and nothing has

In France.
He quotes an unnamed French gem
eral as saying that the American spir-
II and enterprise Mt critical moment
served to maintain the morale of the
French troops around Chateau Thier-
ry.
Among the incidents of the engage
ment the correspondent mentions Is
the steadiness and persistence of the
American machine gun fire in the
streets of Chateau ThIerry. Company
after company of the enemy marching
four abreast repeatedly tried TO ad-
vance. but recoiled sorely shattered
before the fire of the American gun
ners. The streets were strewn with
German dead and wounded and the
American officers estimate they in
nicted at least 1000 casualties.

the Americans were left on the north

them and the river at their backs Car
rying their guns. the Americans de-
scended to the lower banks of the riv-
er. and under enemy machine gun and
artillery fire succeeded in reaching the
next bridge.
The correspondent predicts that
much will be heard OF the deeds of
the Americans In the next few days.
and adds:
american troops fresh from the
United States continue to arrive with
regularity and in numbers more than
sufficient to Justify renewed conf
dence In the ultimate triumph of the

ment are distributed over very wide
