Washington, September 28. Backed by the concentrated of fcnsive power Q ftne American army, unified military action on the western front of Marshal Foch has forced Bulgaria to seek a separate peace, in the opinion of General March, chief of staff. The defection of Bull garia, carrying with it the only connecting link between Tur- key and the central powers and fm.eshadowing probable res toration of Rumania to the fighting ranks, the chief of staff said today in his weekly conference. is due directly to the lnassing of French, British and American forces on the western front.

 At Marauoin and Havrincourt the ca nal was crossed in the most gallant man ner, as the bridgeheads were under fire. The whole operation made necessary days of preliminary work in order to make it success.

 No less brilliant has been the American success east of the Ar gonne. The Germans were swept off their feet Thursday but yes- terday counter attacked stOutly. The enemy efforts, however. only enabled the Americans to show that they are as good on the defensive as on the offensive. They held their ground every where and even advanced at some points.
 The French and American fronts on either side of the Ar gonne now are almost on a straight line and the fighting con- tinues today on both sides of the forest under the best possible con- ditions.

The vigorous onslaught of the British has brought them within two miles of Cambrai, one of the vital points of the German front, and comes rapidly after the vic- tories gained by Generals GOu- raud, Liggett and Cameron on both sides of the Argonne. Ap- parently Marshal Foch has the enemy in a position in the west where he can do what he likes with him. Fridays operation still further proves the wonderful eff ficiency of the allied organization.

or through a wrong bunch, the after
noon papers throughout the country
that take the United Press news serv-
ice issued extras early last Thursday
morning announcing that the armis-
tice had been signed. AS a result Of
that false report the people of the
larger cities of the country went wild
in their demonstrations of Joy over
the declaration of peace, and the
smaller towns receiving the report
followed suit. 1t was all waste of
energy and enthusiasm as the armis-
tice was not signed until Sunday, and
the papers that had circulated this
transformation had the humiliation
of trumping up all kinds of excus IS
for the premature announcement. The
blame was placed upon Admiral Will
son, at Brest, France, who, it is al
legged gave out the information, and
supposed 1t was correct at the time
he gave the news to the reporters.
No matter what the excuse may be
in the future people will have to have
confirmation before they will accept
as gospel truth any sensational news
THAT may be given out in advance by
the United Press.

the public submitted to this reckless
handling of public funds without pro-
test. Now that war is over it will be
no longer easy to raise the vast sums

they took it for granted that he could

young lady had long and hard
siege. Only the very closest atten-
ton on the part of her physician and
most careful nursing saved her life.
We are pleased beyond expression to
be- able to chronicle her recovery, be-
cause she contracted the disease while
in the role of an angel Of mercy, for
she nursed several sufferers from the
malady before she was taken down.
It was risking her life for the anchor
alton of the suffering Of others, which
so many brave persons both male and
female are doing in this hour of the
country's great epidemic
Everybody knows that old timer
living at Nelson, Geo. w. Bentley.
Bentley is getting on in years, but
age has not affected his punch. Bent
ley is law abiding citizen, and per-
sonally a pleasant and genial indi-
yidual to meet. He is not seeker
after trouble, but if trouble is forced
upon him he is not doing any lodging.
And the man who thinks George W..
cannot put up a scrap, If forced TO
the wall, has another think coming.
Mr.. Bentley is justice of the peace.
Last week one John Emdal had a
case before Judge Bentley. Mr..
Emdel is loose with his tongue at
times and he said something to which
Judge Bentley took expections. The
Judge there and then adjourned court
and wiped up the floor with Mr. EN-
del, much to the disfiguration of Mr..
Emdel's frontispiece.
There was some kicking over the

demonstrated that the influenza is
disease of the crowd, and whenever

This was demonstrated in large cities

Immediately noticeable. Hence i
