New York, May 2S.-Twenty thou
sand dollars in cash was stolen in an
elevator of the building at 121 Duane
street from Francis O. Brien and Will
liam Montgomery, SnpEyes of the

They were held up with pistols at

the elevator and who apparently knew
their plan to deposit the money.
The negro elevator boy was requir-
ed under pain of instant death to run
the elevator swiftly to the ground.
There the robbers slammed the door,
ran from the building and mingled
with the crowd. -
Pursuit was begun almost immedi-
ately and hundreds joined in the man-
hunt. No trace of the robbers SIS
found.

Hun Army Falling Back in
Champagne. at Chemin
. Des Danes and at Valen-
cienneS on Western Front

London. Oct. 12.-The Germans are
continuing their retirement north Of
the famous Chemin Des Danes road
under pressure Of attacks from The
west and sound and it is confidently
expected that the whole of the IA
nous highway will be evacuated soon.
The Germans are falling back rapid
ly in Champagne and the French
have advanced from three to four
miles.
With the American Army North
west of Verdun, Friday, Oct. 12.-
Several aviators have become aces
since the Americans struck the eGr-
man lines in this section and old aces
have increased the victories credited
to them. Eddie Rickenbacher has
won fifteen aerial victories and will
probably be credited with eighteen
soon. Frank Luke of Phoenix is Sec
ond with fourteen.
In closing Grandpre gap it was the
French who actually entered Grand
pre- station, hut it was the American
advance east of Argonne and their
capture of March and Cehvierres that
made occupation possible.
The Germans timed their retreat
from Argonne with their customary
skill, showing but little of their last
line troops. They also made COM
pleie job of destroying and blockading
the main roads.
The Americans are closing in on
Don Sur Mause, while their left wing
is within five miles of Buzancy, says
Marcel Hutin in the Echo De Paris.
He said that important events which
may change the entire front may be
expected on this part of The Woevre
front.
According to Reuters, Voieres,
Guise and all the villages in the whole
region south of Laon are burning.
French progress continued last
night on the Champagne front, and
they penetrated Vouziers, an import
ant railway town, holding the general
line of Retourne and the road from
Pauvres to Vouzieres.
The British continued their advance
last night north Of the Sensee river.
They captured number of villages
and are within less than three miles
of Douai.
There is every evidence that the
Germans are preparing to make a
strong stand on the Valenciennes line

"After talking to some eye-wit-

bond campaign committees, 1T was
understood that the days subscrip-
lions for the entire county would run
to 100000. This would bring the
total reported to The loan headquar-
iers at Los Angeles to- more than
81 100000, or within $350,000 to
$45O,OO0 of The quota assigned.
The parade was al The same time
the longest. most imposing and most
stirring in the history of the VAL
ley. Every float, every car and every
section gave some message Of pa
rioism TO The eye and the heart.
School children sang the national
songs, camp songs, soldier songs;
bands played martial airs; floats Wis
ualized every phase Of the war and
the necessity for an oversubscription
to the bonds, and placing the final
mark of the martial TO the parade was
the participation of $50 members Of
the Eleventh cavalry from Camp Bea-

Such signs as "Buy Bonds and
Bury the Kaiser Deep" "There Won't

fled to the personal unpopularity of

that attracted the greatest amount

during the day will be maneuvers and

AGAINST BELIEF THAT

Official German Press Bureau Says That the Reply of
the Imperial German Government, Sent Last Night,
Is in Sense Acceptance of the Terms Laid
Down by President Wilson.
(By Associated PreSS)

Berne, Oct. 12.-The semi-official
Wolff Bureau has circulated a Frank
furter Zeitung dispatch from Berlin
stating that German reply to Pres
ident Wilson was sent last night and
that it was in sense an acceptance.
If dispatched last night it would
probably reach Washington by tomor-
row night.
The State Department is still with
out confirmation of reports that Tur-
key has appealed to the Allies for
peace on Allied terms, neither is
there anything official regarding an
other communication from Austria.
The collapse of the pro-German
government in Turkey is regarded here
as virtually an accomplished fact,
consequently direct appeal from
Constantinpole for peace without re-
gard to Berlin is expected momentar-
lily.
Paris, Oct. 12.-Semi- official sum-
maries of the comment of the Ger
man pres sindicate that Germany in
answering the demand for evacua-
tion of occupied territory will ask as
an offset evacuation of German col
onies and occupied Turkish territory.
Apparently no such thing as direct
dealing in German diplomacy is ex-
pected. Even an official announce
ment from Berlin thai the note
mean unqualified acceptance of the
American and Allied terms would be
viewed with suspicion.
