Military Comment
BY William l.. Mcpherson

A~y w iIli0klA AvANA OWL
T%HE last days Of September
have seen the Allied offensive
of 1918 drawing rapidly tow
ard it's climax of destructive energy
end superb effectiveness. Much has
toen done in the last ten days to
bring the war to a successful con-
clusion. More has been done in
those ten days to bring the war to
successful conclusion. More has been
done in those ten days to break the
military power of the Ouadruple AL
lance than mas been done in any
other ten days-in any other month
possibly in any other entire year
CT the war.
In this b-icf space Of time 100000
prisoners have been taken and. TOO
to 800 guns. But those figures fall
.ar short of measuring the actual
military results. Three Turkish ar
mics have been virtually destroyed
ard two Bulgarian armies have
Keen broken up. Turkey has lost
Palestine and Syria. She can no
longer hope to hold Damascus-or
even Aleppo. Her next task will be
to defend the approaches to Asia
Minor.
Bulgaria has cracked under the
savage blow dealt her in Macedonia.
Her hold on Serbia has been shaken
Loose. She lacks armies to protect
her own frontiers and her own capi-
tal. She has sent ENJOYS to Salonica
TO ask terms Of peace, after having
vainly tried to obtain the respite of
q, armistice. If she accepts the
conditions forced by the Allies and
withdraws from the combination of
the Central Powers, Turkey will
again be isolated from AUSTRIA Hun
gary and Germany, and will col
{ lapse. Serbia, Albania and Monte
regro will be freed and Rumania
viii escape from the clutches of
Germany. A revolution will prob
ably flame up in the Yugo-Slav
provinces Of Austria and Hungary
and a new Eastern Southeastern
front will be established
In France Foch's offensive has in
creased in extent and intensity. The
Germans have been defeated on
nearly every important sector be-
tween the North Sea and the Meuse.
The Hindenburg zone has been
smashed and overrun at many
Joints. The American army gal
/ loped through it between the Meuse
and the Argonne. The French
I pierced it in Champagne, where
they have reached the German lat
/ eral railroads which we're Joffres
objective in 1915. at perhaps one
/ fifth Of the cost of Joffre's futile
effort
In the sector above Ypres British
and Belgian forces have recovered
the big arcs Of the salient east of
Npres which were evacuated in the
c. urse of the German drive of April
last up the Lys Valley. From the
, Scarpc River down to the Ailette
the Hindenburg positions have been
eaten into until they are now nearly
a shell. The British and French are

Wool Shipments From
S. D. Heaviest In Years

Sioux Falls, s. D., June 2e.-wool
shipments from northwestern South
Dakota are just commencing and
promise to be the heaviest in years.
with prices higher than ever before
known. The great bulk of the wool
shipments will come from the Belle
Fourche territory, where there are
large flocks, and from adjacent terri
tory in eastern Wyoming.
The wool clip is being started to
the east through the regular buying
channels, but is to be at the. disposal
of the United States governShent. The
raisers are being allowed an advance
payment Of fifty cents per pound as
the shipments are made, and the pay
ment of the balance between that and
the price to be eventually established
will come after the wool has been
graded.
Well posted men in the Belle
Fourche district express the opinion
that the average price will finally be
fixed between 60 and IS cents per
pound.
