There is significant activity miles
back of the lines in the north, where
the Germans are throwing tempo
rary bridges across rivers and canals
and mining permanent roads and
bridges
But all along the line the Germans
are fighting with the fury Of despair
in an attempt to stave off the pene-
tratton OF Foch's wedges into the
most vital spots Of the enemy de-
fenses.
General Won Ludendorff is worry
| ing most over the steady advance of
King Albert and General Plummer
in Belgium. The network OF Belgian
railways Is 1. sXRrming with troop
trains, rushing up every division the
high command can scrape from the
depleted depots, in an effort to halt
the Belgians and British on the
Flanders plains.
In the regions OF Cambrai and St
| Quentin, the allied armies are about
| to gather the fruits OF their ad.
vances. The fall of these cities Will
have an important effect farther
north.
F,och's mastery strategy is not bet
| ter illustrated than by the events in
| the Rheims region, where the French
armies, in the space Of four days
| have lifted the menace to Rheims
which the Germans heretofore had
| been able to maintain for as many
years.
In the Champagne and Argonne,
both General Gouraud and General
i Pershing have made advances which
| while not great in distance, are I'm
| portant from a tactical standpoint
Gouraud now dominates the narrow
| Grandpre valley. Pershing Is meth
odically wiping up new strips OF the
Argonne forest.

kaIserlsm on Down Grade.

IBy Ed. l.. Keen, United Press Cor

LONDON. Oct. 3.-There are indi-l
cations that the process OF wipin8l
out the militia artistic and autocrattci
government of Germany which Presi- \
dent Wilson declared is necessary be- I
fore peace can be accomplished, has
already begun.
While it is not believed that the
present crisis In Germany Will result
in the setting up Of anything re-
sembling a democratic government, It
ts evident from the buck passing of
those lodging offers of the chancel-
lorsfiip that the kaiser and Hohenzol-
lernism are on the down grade.
The kaiser's recent appeal for Q
recognized peoples government" and
another appeal which he is now issu-
Ing, but of which no details have YET
been received, are regarded as camou-
flage to fool the German public ana
the entente statesmen.
An interesting thing in connection
with this is the report from Amster-
dam stating that the majority mem
bers of the reichstag have adopted
the following program:
Endorsement OF the July (l9lC
peace resolution; restoration OF Bel
GUM; declaration of Germany's read
mess to join the league of nations;
autonomy for Alsace-Lorraine and
equal suffrage for Prussia.

In order that we NAV comply with
the urgent demands of the Allies for
wheat and at the same time. take
care Of our own domestic supplies, we
urgently need this year an earlier and
more complete marketing of the wheat
In farmers hands than usual The AL
lies are taking from us fifty per cent Of
other cereals than wheat to mix in
their bread. Inasmuch as the people in
allied countries. and the soldiers, must
be fed with bread baked in bakeries
II is impossible for them TO prepare
bread made wholly out of other cereals
and we must furnish them with sufii-
cient wheat to maintain their bakery
loaf. l. therefore. appeal to all of the
farmers in the State of Kentucky that
they shall bring all OF their wheat, ex-
cept their necessary reserves for seed
to market before May l. This is war
call and a service for Uncle Sam who
is fighting for his life. II your local
miller is unable to buy all the wheat
that is offered, market it in the other
customary trade channels through
which it will reach the ood Administra
ton Grain Corporation"

increase in the price of bread. After
examining. detailed statements sub
mitted showing manufacturing cost

tutes (some substitutes costing more
than wheat flour) has decided that un-
der the present conditions the reouest
is reasonable and an increase in the
price of bread is justifiable.

than the one above mentioned. Please
warn all the bakers and handlers of
bread in your community that any per-
son buying bread at higher whole
sale price than the one mentioned
above and selling it at a higher retail
price than the one mentioned above

HAS INVENTED AN
AERIAL TORPEDO

A Louisville man claims the inyen-
tion OF an aerial torpedo" that he says
will carry death and destruction into
the very heart Of Germany.
He is z. A. Barre, a mechanic. His
plans. specifications and claim have
been registered at the Patent Ofice in
Washington.
Mr.. Barre says he has worked on his
invention for six months. and only re-
Gently tried out the Invention in JEFF
ferson-co., and found It successful. He
has been notified by his attorney that
the War Department looks with favor
upon the invention.
In explaining his claim, Mr.. Barre
says II combines a torpedo and aero
plane, and has the same effect as the
torpedo in the water, only it goes thru
the air.
The distance the torpedo can travel
depends upon the weight and size of
the plane. The explosive is placed at
one end, which connects with a delicate
firing pin that will set the charge off
at the slightest jar or contact. The en-
gine is the most expensive part Of the
machine. 1t is run by gasoline,
