The subject of Capt. Hobson's
address was "AmeTica In War"
Il Was q mastefful effort Ia behalf
Of National prohibition. He took
the position that prohibition was
. National necessity, especially
during the present great war. He
said "that our enemy. the Ger.
mans. have enforced prohibition
Ia order to build up the strength
OF her man power" and that our
great country should 90 strengthen
her forces and thereby render her.
self invincible, because In his
opinion prohibition will win the

ed forcible reasons for the cor.
rectness Of his opinion, feasons
which convinced the large aud.
fence who listened to his eloquent
effort.
The Banner heartily endorses
the cause which Capt. Hobson ad.

ment to the constitution which
provides for absolute prohibition

these twelve States are Kentucky
and Texas. The Legislature Of

With the American Army in France, Nov. IT. 7.30 a. m.-(By The Asso- cI&ted Press). General Pershing's forces moved forward early today m territory just abandoned by the Ger man troops. On the old line between. Mouzon and Thiacourt, lying from the region of Sedan to the south of Metz, the troops had been stationed to ava. t orders for the advance, and at 5.S3 o'clock this morning the patrols marched out; not in line of battle but in columns along the high roads which were only slightly impaired.
 The first steps of the Americans in to regions so lately controlled py Ger many were. not spectacular. The men were Keyed up and keen for the new signing of the armistice there wei e comparatively no demonstrative mani f"stations of their enthusiasm.,
 Many of the. men Had been newly uniformed, and all of them were pol ished' as though for inspection The men appeared eager for the word to SC forward.
 For the first time since the Ameri- cans had been ordered to advance tn- 10 enemy held territory there was as
 surance that they would encounter no hostility The Intelligence Depart ment. which never has ceased to runc- ton, had accurately reported that tht Germans were carrying out theil agreement of evacuation, and there was evident the belief both by officer: and men that no trap was awaiting them.
 | No chances were taken. however The engineers were the second unit'

to press forward, and they carefully began their work of looking out fer mlnes and tainted water. Every ob stacle was, tested before it was moved, ir order to find out if it masked eX- plosiyes. For some time the Germans nave shown spirit of cooperation ln forming the Americans where mines were located and in thanselves de- stroying them.
 It was some time after the engi- reers moved forward before the heiv- fer columns took the roads The en- tlre army finally was moving and moving along the lines of peace day. But it was in such order that it might quickly be transformed into battle ar ray. Every brigade was covered by a following close behind The fiankS of the advancing column were well pro. | teeted.
 It has been impressed on officers and l men alike that this is an operation
 under an armistice; that war still ex- 1 ists and that the possibility remains | that at any time it may be necessars' | fcT them to play their part With the
 same Srimness of the past year. F,raternizatlon not only with the German soldiers who may be found
 either as stragelers or voluntary pris- oners, but with the civilian popula : tion, has been sternly forbidden Loot ing aid even souvenir hunting have been forbidden the Americans. It has been plainly impressed upon the mer that property is inviolate and that
 those persons with whom they come ir. contact must be regarded as enc mics.
