GERMAN ATTACK AT
cAMBRAl is REPuLsED
(By United Press.)

LONDON, Sept. IA German at
tack in great force on a front Of more
than eight miles west and southwest
of Cambrai yesterday afternoon was
completely repulsed with heavy enemy
losses. Marshal Haig reported today.
Many prisoners were taken.
A British advance between Cambrai
and st. Quentin was delayed yester.
day afternoon and evening only long
enough to smash series of heavy
German counter attacks and then
swept forward again ON a wide front
capturing about II miles of outposts
on the Hindenburg line.
The German counter attacks began
about p. m. on an eight mile front
between Gouzeacourt and Trescault.
Following terrific bombardment
they were smothered by the British
fire. Marshal Haig reported that a
few elements entered the British
trenches, but were annihilated by
counter attacks. The British drive
was resumed shortly after midnight.

TENNESSEE ABOVE
ESTIMATE 5000

Complete returns from the 113 local
boards over the state as made to Maj.
Rutledge Smith, chairman of the state
council Of National Defense, show that
Tennessee registered 257,609 men be-
tween the ages of Is and 46, inclusive,
on September II.
This is 5000 more men than the
Government estimated, and Tennes-
see, therefore, went over 100 per cent
in the registration. This is due large
ly to the efficient manner in which
those charged with the responsibility
of bringing the registration to the
attention of the citizens performed
their duties.
The press of the state should feel
proud of its part in making the Ten
nessee registration so successful, es-
pecially those papers which contribut-
ed largely of their space to the promo
ton of matters relating to the regis
tration and articles calculated to give
information to registrants.
Mai. Smith has received compli.
mentary kilograms from Gen. Crow.
der's office congratulaing him upon
the work done in the state, and he
desires that all those who had a part
in this result should be given due
credit and feel that the message from
Gen. crowder was to them also.

BEGIN NEXT SPRING

Franco. Serbian Offensive Will Prevent
Them From Sending Aid to Hard

BY J. w. T. MASON
Omitted Press War Expert J

NOLltCu C0o wal AIApSiN1
NEW YORK, Sept. 19.--The French
Serbian and Greek operations along
the Balkan front give promise of a
major offensive being conducted
against Bulgaria next spring in STRAIT
egic conformity with the operations
which America and the allies will
then start against Germany in the
west.
The present movement itself in
Macedonia can scarcely have been
planned to persevere for any length
Of time into the winter season which
soon begins in the Balkans. 1t would
be hazardous, if not impossible, to
prolong an offensive during the sew
ere SHOWS of mountainous southeast
ern Europe. A Balkan offensive, has
always been associated with the
spring.
The purpose of the present drive is
doubtless to secure possession of To-
cal points of vantage from which a
spring advance can successfully be TN
dertaken. This, of course, implies the
issuance of notice to the Bulgarians
that they will be attacked next year.
This is good strategy in serving the no
tice. Germany is trying desperately to
persuade Bulgaria to send troops to
the west front to help Won Hindenberg
defend German territody. The Bulgars
have been reluctant to agree, but
there lately have been some signs of
wavering of Sofia. Now, however, it
would be positively dangerous for the
Bulgarians to permit any large num-
Der of troops to go to the west front.
If this were done, Bulgaria's own de-
fensive position would become weak
ened to an extent that would give high
encouragement to the allies to strike
for Sofia itself.
Czah Ferdinand, CT Bulgaria, is a
timid monarch, who is out exclusive
ly for spoils. The changing condi-
tions in the war situation are already
reported to have sent him to health
resorts where broken down nerves are
treated The Bulgarian retreat along
the Macedonian front is certain to
make Ferdinand still more timorious,
and to cause him to think of the safe
ty. of his own throne before consid-
ering the plight of the Hohenzollerns.
This means the kaiser will be unable
to rely ON serious Bulgarian military
support when the Americans start for
the Rhine.

UNITED CAMPAIGN TO

WORK RAISING FUNDS
SEVEN DISTINCT ORGANIZATION
TO BE REPRESENTED IN
THE DRIVE.
MIDDLE TENNESSEE s675,ooO
Will Prevent Confusion and Simplify
Task Of Going Before the People
With Claims of War Camp Organiza-
tions.


Seven distinct organization have
been recognized by the Government
for service with the troops--the Young
Mems Christion Association, The
Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton, the National Catholic War Coun-
Gil (Knights of Columbus,) the Jewish
Welfare Board, the War Camp Som
munity Service, the american Library
Association and the Salvation Army
Each of these organization is support
ed by private subscriptions. Each
planned a campaign for funds on a
national basis for some period between
September, 1918, and February, 1919.
1t became increasingly apparent
that seven such campaigns could not
be conducted in the period named
without serious Overlapping and con
flict, OF say nothing of the confusion
into which communities would be
thrown by series Of drives following
one another in quick succession, each
with its own machinery and admins
trative personnel and each for objects
involving the serving Of the Ameri-
can Army and Navy. This was parti-
cularly true in view of the fact that
the Fourth Liberty Loan Drive had
been scheduled for late September
and early October
This presented the question wheth-
er combination campaign ON the part
of all of the societies above named
might not simplify the task which
they are jointly bearing and give the
country an opportunity to contribute
at one time to what in reality is
common cause. Therefore, at the re-
quest of President Wilson, it was
agreed among Representatives of the
seven organizations, to conduct joint
campaign together, during the period
beginning November II, continuing
through November IS. This plan, con-
sequently, will result in one national
drive instead of seven.
This drive is to be known as the
First United War Work Campaign.
The American people will be asked to
give $l70,5OO,0OO to carry on the work
of these seven organizations. The
budget is divided as follows: Y. M.
c. A. 100000, $1,000; Y. w. C. A. S15,-
100000; National Catholic War Coun-
Gil, $3O,00O,0O0. War Camp Commun-
ity Service, $15,000,000; Jewish We'll

rary Association. s3,5OOOOO; Saliva

At state organization conference
held last week in Chattanooga, repre-
sentatives of the seven organizations
in this state accepted Tennessee's al
loted quota of s1,625, 900 This quota
in turn was apportioned to the three
divisions Of the state a follows:
