Republican farmer., 1918-09-20

The new operations against this bastion of the Eindenburg line follow the capture of three mile point west, Tuesday night. Holmon is on a hill, as is Maissemy, captured late Satur- day. These hill positions dominate the terrain north of St. Quentin and the road connecting the city with Cambrai. From these favorable dumping off" points the British are moving in toward the city. The Ger mans here are on or north of the Him denburg positions and captured docu- ments show the enemy troops have been ordered to maintain their posi- tions.
 To the north the Germans are using their big guns actively against the British lines. Tuesday evening the Germans attacked Moeuvres, west of Cambrai and pressed the British back to the western outskirts.
 Southwest of Metz the Germans at tempted to strike back at the Ameri- cans west of the Moselle river last night. The American artillerymen. however smothered the enemy effort and the Germans were driven back with losses.
 Paris, Sept. 1S-German troops last night launched violent counter at tacks against the French positions on the plateau northeast of Sancy seven miles to the east of Soissons, says to- days French war office statement. The attacks were unsuccessful and the French troops maintained their gains.
 The statement reads:
 South of the river Disc there was artillery activity throughout the night.
 "Violent counter attacks by the enemy in the region of the plateau northeast of Sancy obtained no re- suits. The French troops maintained their gains.

Jewish Relief Proclamation

The victory of our armies, and
our Allies, has revealed in a
measure the dreadful cruelty and
deadly privation suffered by the
peoples in the territories evacu-
|ated by our enemies. Now that
the veil has been lifted there is
borne to our gaze a picture SO
crushing in it's desolate misery
that I shudder to describe all
|of it's horrible details.
The bare mention of hundreds
|of thousands of emaciated moth
|ers vainly striving to still the
|hunger-cries Of piteously beg
'ging children, and the recent
statement on the part of a high
government official that, unless
j.help is given, there will not re-

ritories on the Eastern front a

are a few of the indications OF
the horrible conditions existing.

fered the full weight Of these
blood curdling conditions have
been the Jews. Three millions

Too Many Servants in Britain.

Duncan Miller asked the minister Of
national service, says the London
Times, whether his attention has been
called to the number of advertisements
for servants In households of one, two
or three persons, where seven 10 ten
indoor servants are already kept and
whether he proposes to limit the num-
Der of indoor servants employed In
each household. The minister OF ma
tional service replied that he had al
ready pointed out how essential 1t is,
In the national interest, that no per-
son should employ more servants than
are absolutely necessary. The min
lister trusts that the awakened con-
sciences of those who have in this
respect failed to appreciate their duty
will provide an immediate and suffi-
cient remedy. II not, he will tell his
plan in the general statement On mar
power.
