French NoU Dominate
 Plain East Of Rheims

With the French Army in France, October ?, p. m.-(By the Associated Press .)-General Berthelot's forces in the course of the night and this morn ing completed their conquests of St. Thierry massif, northwest of Rheims, occupying Poullion, and taking the fort of St Thierry.
 The French now dominate the plain to the east and threaten the German positions all along the Aisne- -Marne canal from Betheny to the north and including the fort of Brimont, where were posted the guns that accomplished the greater part of the destruction of Rheims.
 The French lines were pushed slight ly northward towards Betheny. The conquest of the important positions around St. Thierry and the advance of General Gouraud's men in the region of St. Marie-A-Py in the Champagne. in- creases the gravity of the situation for the German forces holding the heights to the east of Rheims.
 Further slight advances by both Gouraud and Berthelot in those regions will make of the Rheims salient anoth- CT pocket from which the Germans will find an exit with difficulty.

FRENCHMAN SENDS FROM FRONT
Maj. Rene De Cernowitz Writes of Gallantry of American Troops
 in Action

Simon Klotz. local French consul, has received a letter from Maj. Rene de Cernowitz, who will be remembered by many Birmingham friends as the officer in charge of the French mission at Camp Mcclellan, and who was a frequent speaker at the local patriotic drives, in which he gives high praise to the morale and gallantry of the American troops.
 The letter in part translated from the French follows:
 Somewhere in France,
 August 19, 1918. Dear MT. Klotz:
 'I received your very interesting let ter and was much pleased with all you wrote The letter I sent you upon my arrival in France must have been mis- sent or lost. I am indeed very sorry l could not be present and participate at the great 14th of July celebration l know you met with great success.
 "I know the patriotism of your good citizens and the remembrance of the many hours I spent in your great city will forever be engraved in my mem ory.
 Alabama in particular is, and will for  love to relate to my family and to all my friends the reception I received there.
 "Kindly tell our Birmingham friends that France admires the gallantry of the American soldiers. All of the Twen- y-ninth division have marked them selves through their excellent discipline and military instruction. of whom l feel very proud, as I have the great honor and happiness to remain with the Twen- ty-ninth division, who is for me sec- ond family

Dent Says It Is All Right to Be Just to Germany, But Be Just Vigorously, Not

By HIGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, october 2.--(Special. )-That the collapse of Bulgaria presages the actual beginning of the end, and that President Wilson's speech in New York checkmates WilheImstrasse diplomacy, are conclusions entertained by official and unofficial Washington.
 But for the existence of cold weather in France said Chairman Dent of the military committee, with the certainty that intense coldness will soon prevail, l would predict the unequivocal defeat Of Germany by Christmas.
 "The collapse of Bulgaria means the withdrawal of Bulgaria from the war on terms dictated by the allies. The withdrawal of Bulgaria will permit such intense pressure on Austria-Hungary, all ready staggering, that Austria-Hungary must eventually retire on terms dictated by the allies. Germany will then be fighting single-handed against victorious foes on every side Germany must then surrender or suffer the annihilation of it's people the devastation of it's terri t0rV

Fighting continued during the night in the suburbs of St. Quentin The Germans were trying to repair the breach made there in the Htndenburg line by organizing defense of the Crozat canal, where they have massed a great number of machine guns to prevent the French troops from cross ing.
 The Germans are expected to make q desperate defense in that section in or der to facilitate their retirement to a secondary position behind the Him denburg line.
 In the Champagne, the enemy also is redoubling his efforts to hold off Gen eral Gourauds forces on the line of Monthers s-Orfeuil-Liry. The heights here are cut by steep cliffs and deep ravines and studded with clumps of trees, and thickets, furnishing excel lent positions for defense These posi- tions are being fercely defended, the Germans retiring only step by step and multiplying their counter attacks at all points where the French troops ad- vance.
