The following letter was received

Robinson, who is with the American
army in France:

The fighting during the past week
has been very favorable for the allies.
In France in the American sector at
St. Mihiel fighting has died down,
the Americans having gained all the
territory they went after, and so rapid
was the German withdrawal that they
were unable to destroy the villages,
which were left intact. The German
force in the salient was estimated at
10000 and they lost at least half of
them.
North and South of ST. Quentin,
British and French forces attacked
the outposts of the Hindenburg line,
capturing 10000 prisoners the first
day, penetrating deeply into the line
which has an average depth of five
miles and were still going at last re-
ports On the Southern end of the
/ Hindenburg line the French are slow
ly pressing in between the st. Gobain
Forest and the Chemin Des Danes,
\ towards Loan, but progress is slow, as
the Germans are striving desperately
to check their progress. The British
are on the northern sector, hitting
in first one place and then another,
advancing steadily at many points,
North of Salonika French and Ser
bans attacked the Bulgarians and
broke their line and have advanced
thirty miles on a twenty-five mile
front, capturing many thousands. The
battle has been extended to ninety
miles and everywhere the Bulgarians
are being driven back.
In the Holy Land, French and
British forces attacked the Turks
with success on the 10th, 5000 prisons
were counted that day, while British,
Australian and Indian cavalry adj
vanced nineteen miles and had cut off
portion of their Turkish army.
Arab troops were also attacking the
Turks from east of the river Jordan,
having captured and cut their main
railroad line, while the whole Turkish
army retreating northward. The aim
of the allies is to try and force them
into the mountains of Lebanon, where
they will be helpless. The British
have now reached the plains of Sharon
where their cavalry can act, after leav-
ing the mountains of Judea.
In Russia Baker, the center of the
oil fields has been captured by the
Turks; but further north Czechs and
Russians are holding their own very
well, while in northern Russia and
Siberia allied troops are steadily adj
yanceing. Nothing has been heard
from Mesopotomia since last May
but cooler weather is now due when
the British advanced north will begin
once more.
Raiding along the Italian front is
increasing, while several local attacks
have been successful, but no big at
tack has been started by either side
Bulgarian troops are reported be.
hind the German lines in France, but
they have not yet been reported in
any of the fighting.

NOTES OF THE WAR
(By R. JELLICoRsE, Elmwood, Tenn. )

to be also on the front in France.
These include the 35th division which
was practically destroyed by the
Americans in the battle of St. Mihiel.
The Americans, French and British
have had a battle with the Bolshe-
viks in northern Russia, which ended
in the Bolsheviks fleeing in utter
route. Many of their officers deserted
to the allies.
Fighting broke out last week on
the Salonika front, when the French
and Serbians pushed the Bulgarians
back several miles, capturing many
thousand. A division of Jugo-Slavs
also participated in the advance.
Jugo-Slavs are inhabitants of south
ern Austria, they belong to the same
race as the Serbians and are bitterly
opposed to being ruled by Austria.
The Holy Land has been the scene
of a great battle, between the British
and Turks, who have been defeated
with much loss.
Americans are still fighting with
have seen considerable fighting the
past week. This seems to be the
only American force still fighting
with any of the allies in France. All
the American forces, with this excep-
ton, are now under Gen. Pershing.
Fighting has now died down in the
st. Mihiel battle with the Americans
! in possession of all they went out to
lget. It is thought by the war writer's
that the next attack by the Americans
will be futher east.
The peace offensive of the Central
powers was begun last week by a
request from Austria for a peace
conference, where all the nations at
war could discuss the terms of peace.
President Wilson's answer was that
the Central powers already knew the
/ allies peace terms, and that when
they were ready to accept them, that
would end the war Germany also
made an offer to Belgium to surrend-
er Belgium back at the end of the
war, if the Belgium forces would
quit fighting now. Nothing was said
of any payment for the destruction
of life and property. Belgium, of
course, refused at once.
Major Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., who
has been twice wounded in France,
has been promoted to the rank of
Lieut.. Colonel.
The British casually list last week
was up to over $4,000. Their total
casualties since the beginning of the
war is over 100000.
Americans overseas last Saturday
numbered over 1,750.00O.
The French and British since Aug.
9Th have captured over 100000 Ger
man prisoners with over 1000 guns.
