FOOD EXPORTS SHRINK
Decrease Is Due to Lack of Mer.
camille Tonnage.
Demands for Vessels to Carry Soldiers
Overseas Reduces Shipment OF
Cereals.

Washington, Nov. 5.--Food Admin
istrator Hoover, in letter explaining
the administrations permit system for
corn shipments, informed Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska that demands
for ships to carry troops overseas un-
der the enlarged military program
practically has stopped cereal exports.
Mr.. Hoover said the system was
necessary to prevent congestion in ter.
minals, and was not the cause of de-
clining prices.
"The necessity for the permit sys-
tenn arises out of the desire to keep
the coarse grains moving as against
a positive flood of wheat" he added.
"The program of exports agreed upon
in Europe last summer class for the
total export of cereals from the United
States of approximately 50,000,0 900
bushels a month for the first eight
months after Sept. /. Since that time
the changes in military program have
led General Pershing to demand a
much larger tonnage for the American
army than was anticipated and~as a
result shipping has been taken out OF
the cereal trades until we are prac-
tically exporting nothing"

Austria Formally Out of War.

Austria Formally Out of War.
London, Nov. 5.-The Allies have
forced Austria Hungary out of the
war.
Deserted by her last ally, Germany
fights alone battle which means ulti
mate defeat or abject surrender.
After days of pleading an armistice
has been granted Austria-Hungary,
whose badly defeated armies in the
Italian theater, staggered homeward
under tlfe violence of the blows of the
Allied troops.
Trent, in Austrian Tyrol, which the
Italians always have claimed as their
own, has been captured by them;
Triest, Austria's principal seaport on
the Adriatic, over which there has been
such bitter fighting now flies the Ital.
ian flag, and Belgrade, capital of Ser.
bia, has been re-occupied by the Ser
bians.
Germans Harassed In Belgium.
In France and Belgium the Germans
are being sorely harassed by the Brit
ish, French, Americans and Belgians
and there are indications that deb
acle is about to occur.
The Argonne massif, which has
proved great obstacle to the French
and Americans at last has been
cleaned of the enemy, and the entire
line appears to be crumbling. Ameri.
can airmen report that the enemy in
front of the Americans are retreating
northward, that the roads are densely
packed with troops, artillery and
transports.
Enemy Retreats on All Fronts.
Likewise southeast of Valenciennes
the Germans are retreating before the
British, who are in close pursuit and
taking numerous prisoners. North OF
the Aisne in Champagne the French
continue their pressure and have taken
several important villages, large mum
bers of prisoners and great quantities
of war stores.
The advance of the Americans and
French on the southern part of the
battle front, taken in conjunction with
the operations of Field Marshal Haig
and the Belgians In the North, threat
ems to prove the eliminating blow to
Germany's attempts to hold ground in
France or Belgium.
Indeed, it is not improbable il the
advance from the south continues as
rapid as it is, the greater portion OF
the German army will be trapped be
fore the men can reach the border
The situation of the Germans seem
fngly is critical one.

FOE HOLDS MANY REFUGEES
Those OF Military Age Retained by
Germany at Border.

Amsterdam, Nov. s. Belgian and
French refugees who crossed the
Dutch frontier before it was closed
during the last week report that the
latest form of German cruelty took
form In the separation of men of mill
tary age from their families within
sight OF the land of deliverance. They
had been permitted to travel eastward
with their wives and children until the
last stage was reached and there they
have been detained. The old men and
women and children were allowed to
proceed across the border.

New American Advance Makes
Enemy Retirement Through
Stenay Impossible.
COMMUNICATION CUT
Foch Deals Smashing Blows on West
ern Front and Collapse Of Present
German Defense Positions 10
Close at Hand 40 Result.

London, Nov. 8. The Stenay
gap, through which the German
armies expected to pass In their
retirement south Of the Ardennes,
has been rendered untenabIe by
the newest American advance, IL
was indicated In tho American Of
fetal communique.
American troops have passed
Stenay on the west, cutting the
line Of communication between
Stenay and Beaumont. The Ger
man armies have thus been vir-
tuaIIy split, so far as freedom OF
naneuver Is concerned.
Smashing blows are being dealt the
Germans on the Western front and
the collapse OF the present enemy de-
Tense positions appears close at hand.
On the northern end of the front In
France, Field Marshal Haig launched
a new attack south of the Scheldt in
the region of Valenciennes. The OPP
Grafton began successfully on a wide
front and this vital sector of the Ger
man positions Is in great peril.
The French army maintains its pur-
suit but fighting activity Is less than
last week. German artillery has been
active along the Aisne front, probably
protecting an enemy retirement which
is inevitable in view of the Allied sue
cess north and east.
Pershing's Armies Progress.
General Pershing's armies are press
ing forward east and west of the
Meuse and the Germans apparently
are not prepared to make stand. Ste
nay and the gap In which 1t lies is be-
ing encircled and it's fall would appear
to be near.
In the center of the sector west OF
the Meuse the American First army
has driven forward to Sommauthe, 13
miles south of Sedan, the most impor.
tant German center between Mezieres
and Metz.
Germany, deserted by Austria, Tur
key and Bulgaria, Is apparently facing
great disaster on the Western front
last three months when it seemed heI
armies were in critical position, but
the Huns always have managed tc
avoid debacle. Now, however, there
is a greater possibility than ever thai
Germany's military doom may not bt
far distant.
Crisis at Hand.
This crisis has arisen during the last
three days. American and French at
tacks west of the Meuse river, which
seemed to be gaining but little, appar
emily sapped the strength of the en-
emy. When the break came Saturday
1t took on aspect of rout, rather thar
J an orderly retirement such as ha.
been carried out on dozens of battle
fields from the North sea to Chateau
Thierry since July Is.
1t now appears that the Germans
who have been holding the line run
ming westward through the Cham
pagne county cannot retreat east
ward but must be diverted northwar.
through Belgium. This will add man,
weary miles to the length of the jour
ney that seemingly must be begun a
| once.
