Mighty Strike Launched by
British, French and Friendly
Arab Forces.
BATTLE IN HOLY LAND
General AIIenby Attacks Enemey on
Sixteen-Mile Front and Drives

Nineteen Miles.

London, Sept. 23.-Under the i'm.
petus of a mighty blow by the Brit
ish, French and friendly Arab forces,
the Holy Land is nfame and the
Turks from the Jordan river west.
ward toward the Mediterranean seem.
ingly are in rout.
Added to their already great losses
in ground, men killed, wounded or
made prisoners and scores captured
in Belgium, France. Italy and the Bal
kans, the T~eutonic allies, judging from
first reports of the hostilities begun
against the Ottomans in Palestine, are
in for further extremely hard usage.
British Penetrate IL Miles.
In less than a day General Allenby's
British forces, aided by French troops
and natives under the flag of the king
of the Hedjas, struck the Turkish line
over a front of 16 miles and penetrated
it to a depth of 19 miles, taking more
than 5000 Turks prisoner and over
running the entire hostile defensive
system.
Railway and highway junction points
were captured and strong forces OF
cavalry at last accounts were well in
advance of the attacking troops,
threatening to carry out a turning
movement against the fieeting Turks
which might prove disastrous to them,
Meanwhile along the shores OF the
Mediterranean naval units were clear
ing the coastal roads of the enemy by
their gunfire.
Turks Must Fight Way Out.
In addition to the large number OF
prisoners taken, great quantities OF
a materials had fallen into the
hands of the Allied troops and the
pressure against the enemy was going
on undated.
The predicament of the Turks Ia
heightened by the operations OF the
Hedjas tribesmen on the east side OF
the Jordan. which will prevent them
from taking refuge across the stream
in the Jordan valley and compel them
to fight their way out of their trouble
west of the river as best they may.

HOLLAND NEEDS FOOD
German Threats Keep 400, 00O
Tons of Ships Idle.
America VIII Not Provide Supplies
While Nation Bows to kaiser's
Will.

Washington, Sept. 23.-While 400,-
600 tons of Dutch shipping continue
to lie idle in European ports, Hollands
appeal for American supplies to meet
her food shortage Is the subject of an
official statement issued by the state
department, expressing the hope that
The Netherlands government would
follow the example of other neutrals
and open the way for general resump-
ton of trade by lifting the embargo
upon the movement of her ships.
In effect the department gives no
.tice that so long as Holland permit,
herself to be inundated by German
threats to destroy even ships plying
between neutral ports, there can be nc
arrangement for American foodstuffs
similar to those entered into by the
United States with Switzerland, Swe
den, Norway, Denmark and Spain.
The statement discloses that The
Netherlands government never has
availed itself of the offer of the United
States and the Allies to put 100, 00C
tons of bread cereals at the disposal
of the Dutch people Internationally
after the government had failed to ap
prove a tentative general agreement
reached at London last winter.

United Press Staff Correspondent
WITH THE FRENCH
ARMIES IN THE FIELD,
Feb. 2O.-(By Mail) While
loudly proclaiming a gigantic
offensive on the west front,
the German armies have been
working there night and day
for months past building up
the greatest system for defen-
sive warfare the world has
ever known.
Germany realizes that in the
end she must sustain on the
French front the shock of I've
combined French, British and
American armies. She knows that
in spite of whatever initial sue
cess she may gain by a big front
offensive, she will be obliged to
defend every step of the territory
between the west front and the
Rhine.
The entire west front, extend
ing for miles to the rear-in fact
practically back to the Rhine
has now been converted into one
vast field of a defensive system.
In the 1918 German offensive
system the three lines of trenches
of the original system give way to
three great fighting zones, the
first. of which is known as the
Zone Of habitual combat" the
second as the zone Of grand
combats," and the third as the
zone of battle"
To Save Men
The Zone of habitual combat
replaces the old first line
trenches. This zone is intended
to lessen the frightful losses sus-
tanned in defending the first line
trenches.
The first line of the Zone of
habitual combat" consists most
often of single trench.
The trops even take up their
positions in the shell holes in
front of this trench. These shell
holes are stocked not only with
munitions, but with food and
water. Often this first line is
held by only few soldiers.
Instead of sacrificing thousands
of men, holding a rigid line OF
trenches, Field Marshal linden
burg now prefers to save his men
by permitting them to fall back
to the zone of grand combats. u
The German defensive organi.
cation and troops, instead OF
being concentrated now on the
front line, are sprea dout indefi-
nitely to the rearward. II the
front now gives way at any time
ever-increasing defensive organi-
cations and troops are found te
the rear.
On the Defensive
In these zones of grand com

NO MORE CATARRH
Guaranteed Treatment That
Has Stood the Test Of Time,

Has Stood the Test of Time.
Catarrh cures come and catarrh
cures go, but Hyomei continues
to heal catarrh and abolish its
disgusting symptoms wherever
civilization exists.
Every year the already enorm-
Gus sales of this really scientific
treatment for catarrh grow great
er, and the present year should
show all records broken.
If you breathe Hyomei daily as
directed 1t will end your catarrh,
or it won't cost you a cent.
If you have a hard rubber Hyo-
mel inhaler somewhere around
the house, get it out and start it
at once to forever rid yourself Of
catarrh.
Crown Drug Co. or any other
good druggist, will sell you a
bottle of Hyomei Qiquid), start
to breathe 1t and notice how
quickly 1t clears out the air pass
ages and makes the entire head
feel fine.
Hyomei used regularly will
end catarrh, coughs, colds, bron-
chitis or asthma. A compute
outfit, including a hard rubber
pocket inhaler and bottle Of Hyo-
mel, costs but little. No stomach
dosing; just breathe it. It kills
the germs, soothes and heals the
inflamed membrane.

Huns Prepare Great
System of Defense

after trench. All of these are
supported by numerous defensive
positions, such as concrete forts,
fortified hills, blockhouses., ma
chine gun nests, great under
ground caves and forests.
After them comes the great
zone of battle" where, when the
allied armies get thru the first
and second zones, they must give
open battle. Here, too, the Ger
mans have endeavored to prepare
everything in advance, so that
even in open combat they will have
the advantage.
The system is a tacit acknowl-
edgement of the superiority of
the allied armies and betokens
an appreciation that Germany
must end the war on the defens-
i've, not on the offensive.
