The French and Americans have be-
gun a Joint attack on the Champagne
front and in the region eastward.
The attack is the first Allied
thrust in the Champagne sector since
Foch assumed the initiative. 1t is the
logical result of the Allied success
in Picardy in driving the Germans
to the Hindenburg line from Arras
to Lach. Northward the drive In
Champagne threatens communications
in the rear of the Hindenburg de-
tense system. 1t is probable Nthe at
tack extends from Rheims to YER
dun and possibly beyond. If the AL
lies break through they may separate
the German forces into two groups.
Fighting has occurred which re-
suited in the destruction of two enc
my machines. Three British machines
have rot been located.
A French officer of high rank told
a correspondent that the news from
the principal points of the front today
was excellent. The French Fourth
army has taken SevrOn, which the
Germans held since 1914, and Navarin
Farm, around which there has been
much violent fighting.
A Franco American attack has been
launched on front-mile front near
the River Meuse. The Germans vol
unfairly abandoned their forward po-
sitions. There was not much artil-
lery or infantry resistance to the AL
lied drive. The Americans attacked
on the right wing and the French on
the left. Allied forces have penetrat-
ed the German positions for some
miles.
The British in Palestine are extend
ing their occupation about the Sea of
Galilee and have occupied Tiberias
and Semakh on the borders of the
sea, and Essamra. Pushing east of
the Jordan, the British have occupied
the stretegic town of Amman.
Early indications were that the
Champagne attack was progressing
favorably. 1t opened i'm thick fog
after artillery preparation which ter
minated in an hour of most intensive
drumfire.

Corn Yield Of
Ton Per Acre

WI. L. Seitz, who cultivates nearly
a section of land in the Calipatria sec
ton, has again sustained his reputa-
ton of being one of the most expert
and successful ranchers of the North
End
His 600 acres this year will yield
little better than ton of corn per
acre, providing from 600 to 650 tons
total yield With the grain selling
at $72 ton his gross income will be
about $4,000, or an average of $75
an acre.
Aside from admission that careful
cultivation has been chief factor in
producing this record, Mr.. Seit says
that the natural fertility of 1mper-
ial Valley land alone would make a
man rich at the reigning prices OF

AFTER NEE I
Of TWO DAYS

Although county officials whose du-
ties bring them in touch with the in

ANY comments, it was persistently ru-
mored around the court house this
afternoon that the county grand jury
had decided against reopening the
Littrick murder case, in which the
Imperial merchant was shot and
Killed by Roy Rice, acting city mar
shall.
1t is definitely known that the pc
tition circulated in the City of Impe-
rial, asking for an impartial probe of
the shooting, was under consideration
by the jurors. Several witnesses were
called who were familiar with various
angles of the. case.
Late this afternoon District Attor-
new Simon said:
"I do not think the jury will be in
session tomorrow. Outside of that
statement will say nothing. Any
other information must come from the

.bULGARS CRY
FOR PEACE As
ARMY
IS ADVANCING
(By Associated Press)

Paris, Sept. 26.-It is reported that
a ministerial crisis and a complete
change of foreign policy are impend-
ing in Bulgaria. Martial law has been
proclaimed in Sofia, according to a
dispatch. The cabinet is in continu-
Gus session. Pacificist manifestations
were held in Sofia, Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday.
London, Sept. 26.-Reports from Of
fetal headquarters indicate that the
Prilep-Vles road has been cut at IZvor,
isolating the First Bulgarian army
from main line communications and
placing it in a precarious position.
The first army is on the Allied left.
The British have continued their
pressure northwest of St. Quentin and
have captured enemy strong points in
the neighborhod Of Selency and Girl
court. They have made progress
north of La Bassee in Flanders. A
British independent air force bombed
German airdromes just % miles south
west of Karlbrume, and at Kaisers
lautem between Metz and Mann helm.
The British have entered Bulgarian
territory opposite Kosturino, six miles
south of Strumitsa, an enemy base.
Monastir or Prilep will become the
seat of the Serbian government as
soon as the Allied lines north of
those cities become definitely estab-
lished, according to the Serbian min
ister to France.
The minister, in discussing the AL
lied victory, declared it was almost
unbelievable that success of such
magnitude could be won with such
slight losses to the Allies.
Germany is uneasy over pacifEt
demonstrations, according to Havas
advices. The German minister has
conferred with King Ferdinand.
Reports reaching London indicate
the, while the First Bulgarian army
in Macedonia is in a dangerous posi-
ton, it is not believed that it faces
immediate disaster. Italians who are
advancing against the First army
from the south must pass over ex-
tremely rough country before getting
into contact with it. 1t is believed
the. First army will be forced to re-
treat westward into the mounainst on
the Serbo-Albanian frontier. The
country is very rough and it would
be impossible to handle artillery. The
matter of food supplies would also
be difficult. Reports indicate the
Serbians who cut the Germano- Bull
garian communications are joining in
the Allied rush for Uskub.
Greek and British units are forcing
their way over the Belachista noun
tain range on the Bulgarian border
northeast of Doiran.
The Serbians have captured Vesles,
miles southeast Of Sukus,
Macedonia.

Clever
Delivery Plan

A clever scheme of circumventing
the stringent new rule at the inter
national boundary line has been
evolved, according to reports reaching
here.
MeXicans come to the line and, stay
ing on their own side, give their or
ders to the representatives of the
stores on this side Then the orders
are filled and taken down and a GUS
toms inspector passes on them and
hands them over to Mexico, where
they are taken away. The money is
passed over in the same way, and,
while hands and arms may invade this
country or Mexico, heads and bodies
remain in the territory prescribed by
law.
Delivery autos loaded with grocer
les and e like are backed up to the
international boundary and unload
supplies on the other side.
