BIG NAVAL INCREASE
Great Britain Has 5000, 900
Tons of Fighting Craft.
John Bull Effectively Replies to Ger
man Ruthless Diver
Campaign.

Chicago, Sept. 26.-Lieut. Col. G.. G.
WOODWARD of the British army, in an
address here at the American Bankers
association convention, said England s
army numbers $500, 900 men, while
her navy has an excess of 5000, 900
tons and nearly SOC, 900 men.
From a standing army of 100000
the land forces jumped to 5000, 900
through the volunteer system, he said,
while the balance was secured through
CONSUMPTION. The islands supplied
6,250,000 men, Canada 1000. 900, India
and the dependencies 1.500, 900.
In 1914 England had 2,000,0 900 tons
of fighting ships and a personnel of
$4,000 men and officers. He pointed
to the tremendous increase in fight
ing tonnage as an answer to Berlin's
U-boats.
Germany, he said, cannot win the
var because she lacks the spiritual
power of the Allies.
j. Elwood Cox, High Point, N. c..
said the country must save an add
tional SIS, 0e0, 900, 900 this year to pay
taxes and buy Liberty bonds. Con
s~ideration OF finances after the war
was urged. He said with the close
of fighting the railroads of this coun'
try will need $4,000, 600, 900 annually,
the Allies $1,000, 000, 900. South Amer
lea 81, 900, 000, 900.

British and French Forces Draw
More Closely Lines In
vesting Town.
PUT FOES TO FLIGHT
Allies Continue Their Pursuit of De.
feated euIearians and Turks
In Macedonia and the
Holy Land.

With the Americans on the Metz
Front, Sept. 27.-The Americans, with
the aid of the French, have advanced
east of the Moselle. They gained their
first detectives despite German artil-
lery resistance,
ATTACK in Champagne.
French and American troops are
storming the German positions in
Champagne and further east in what
apparently is another major stroke by
Marshal Ferdinand Foch. The new
offensive is progressing favorably, ac-
cording to early reports, having been
made in a thick fog After an hour of
intensive g%unfire.
London, Sept. 27.-The armies of
the Central powers in Turkey and
Macedonia are still in flight before
the forces of the Allies, while on the
highly important st. Quentin sector in
France the British and French armies,
after hard fighting, have drawn more
closely their lines in the investment
of the town on the northwest, west
and south.
The stubborn resistance of the Ger
mans In defense and in counter at
tacks has been ~unavailing except to
impede the progress of the men of
the armies of Field Marshal Haig and
General Debeny.
Turks Escape Cut OFF.
In Macedonia the Bulgarian and Ger.
man troops are still faced with disas.
ter; in Palestine the remaining Turks
seem to have scarcely a chance for
escape from the British forces and
tribesmen who are closing in upon
them east of the River Jordan. More
than 10000 prisoners and 265 guns
have been taken by the British and
yet General Allenby's appetite for
further emoluments from his hard
campaign has not been satiated.

Occasion for Enthusiasm.
Sept. 8 will begin another inten-
sive campaign for Liberty Loan sub
scriptions," said Governor Burnquists
proclamation.
I'm most sections of the country the
campaign will extend to Oct. 10. but in
our district the plans contemplate Oct.

that the opening day for solicitation of
subscriptions be an occasion for much
enthusiasm and interest.
Means Courage to Fighters.
THE amount of Minnesota's allot-
men for this campaign is somewhat
larger than that for the Third Loan.
The portion assigned to us, however,
should be easily raised. for Minnesota
crops have this year been bountiful,
and will tend to increase the prosper
ity of all our people. A most critical
time In the progress of the war has
been reached. A quick and generous
response to the solicitation of bonds
will add new courage to our fighters,
strengthen the morale of ourselves and
u allies and give another severe blow
to the Central Powers.

German General Disclaims Any Fear
Of Americans.
Amsterdam, Sept. 27.-"The Ameri-
can armies should not terrify US; we
will also settle with them" declared
General Won Weisburg, representing
the war ministry, in addressing the
main committee of the reichstag.
THE German retirements have been
partially for the purpose of shortening
the line, the better to cope with the
enemy's tanks.
Defense is more a question OF
nerves than material. The higher
command is looking confidently to the
future. The enemy calculates, more
than ever, upon our internal collapse,
We must fight for our existence"

Inspired by German Government.

London, Sept. IT. There is good
reason to believe the program adopted
by the Social Democratic faction of
the reichstag at its meeting Monday
was mo- only inspired by the German
government, but actually embodies
Germany's peace terms, according to
Rotterdam advices to the Telegraph.
It is pointed out by the dispatch that
the part OF the program referring to
international arrangements as dis
tinct from internal reforms was dis
cussed soon after the failure Of the
0AEuan Offensive,

"cARELESS TO BE GASSED'

Anti-gas Measure So Efficient Injury Is
Looked on as SeIf-inficted.
London, Sept. 27.-German gas does
not hold the terrors it did in earlier
days OF the war, as British masks pro-
vide practically complete protection.
Army scientists are said to be so
satisfied with antigas measures that
cases of casing are now treated as
self-infiicted. unless the victim can es-
tablish his hurt was suffered through
no fault OF his own.
Latest German gases are said to be
not outwardly unpleasant, and have no
immediate effects, with the conse-
quence men are tempted to delay put
ting on masks.
