ON ENEMY.
Allies Advance Leaves Ger

France and It Is Under
Artillery Fire.
By Associated Press.

On the battlefields the Ger
mans everywhere are being
hurried backward to their
borders. Journal, an i'm
,portant railroad center in
Belgium, on the line leading
to Brussels, has been entered
by the British, who are across
the Scheldt with few barriers
of great importance between
them and Brussels. To the
south of Valenciennes the
British have taken Aveenes,
another important railroad
junction point, and all along
the front have pushed the
Germans farther eastA Mau-
oeuge is being advanced up
on by the British.
The French again have cut deeply
into the enerny's front. At last ac-
counts they had reached Liart, 20
miles north of Rethel, on the rail
road leading eastward to Mezieres.
The taking of this town leaves only
one railroad in this portion of
France over which the enemy can
retire. This is the Hirson line,
which is being daily brought nearer
and now at some places is domin-
ated by the French guns.
French Enter Sedan.
Eastward the French are still
driving northward and have joined
hands with the Americans in the
western outskirts of Sedan. More
prisoners and large additional guam
titles of war stores have been taken
by the French.
Friday saw little infantry fighting
between the Americans and the
Germans west of the Meuse, but
there were heavy reciprocal artil-
lery bombardments. East of the
river the Americans have cleared out
several strong forest positions held
by the enemy. It is reported that
the roads from Stenay, Sedan, Con-
fans and Longuyon leading to Metz
are congested with retreating Ger
man troops and transport.

The Bees
Free Shoe Fund
To Buy Shoes
For Shoeless Children

When there comes a cold, rainy,
chilly day, like Thursday, the kid
dies come pouring into The Bee
Office and into the attendance Of
ficer's quarters in the city hall,
showing their little split, torn,
worn shoes and asking for better
ones.
Not one of these little ones,
whose parents can not afford to
give them dry, weather proof
shoes, is turned away. How many
cases of influenza, how many seri-
Gus colds, how much suffering and
misery, have the kind people of
Omaha and Nebraska already pre-
vented by their contributions to

Notwithstanding the fact that the
abdication of Emperor William is
generally believed to be condi-
ton of the terms OF an armistice
and the further fact that the major
ity parties in Germany have de-
manded that he quit the throne and
that the crown prince renouncc his
right to succession, the emperor has
refused to retire.
Meanwhile throughout Germany
revolt is in the air, and the red
flag is flying. A repNblic has been
formed in Bavaria, and in addition

night with an extraordinary confer

AT the conference the kaiser is

Farmers of State Are Increasing
Production of Crops and
Livestock
CORN YIELD
SHOWS INCREASE
Two Million Hogs Are Being
Raised and All Crops Are in
Fine Condition

Florida Is rapidly foccing its way
TO the front rank as an agricultural
and stock raising state in the opinion
Of G. X. McQuarrie, state agent OF
the United States cooperative DEM
onstration work OF the extension d.
vision Of the University OF Florida,
who spent Thursday in Pensacola.
Mr.. McQuarrie, in speaking of the
national outlook for extension work,
gave it as his opinion that the coun-
try is thoroughly and actively awake
to the need OF conservation in every
department OF work which is allied to
the production Of food.
As to the situation in the state, he
gave as a basis for optimism. that
100000 bushels more corn has been
raised this year in Florida than ever
before, and that hog breeding has had
q 100000 increase over any previous
year. At this time It Is estimated
that at least two million hogs are be-
ing raised in the state.
Mr.. McQuarrie, in speaking Of the
convention just closed In Nashville.
declared that Florida has made a
splendid record, which compares fav-
orably with other states Of the IN
Ion and whic hhas placed her high
in the estimate Of those who are
closely in touch with the extension
work Of the agricultural bureau Of the
government.
There is only one county in the
state. and that is Monroe" said Mr..
McQuarrie, which has not a county
agent actively engaged in extension
work. and in most counties the agent
has an assistant, SO greatly has the
work increased throughout Florida.
Nearly every county in the state has
a woman agent, also, in charge or the
home economic work, and this Is rap
idly growing and Will probably soon
embrace every county.

the head Of this branch Of extension
