French Army Engaged in a
Gigantic Smash on the
Hun Leg j 0ns-Ameri-
cans Also Advance.

The German have begun a new re-
treat between the Disc and the
Aisna and General Debney's army
has succeeded against stubborn re-
sistance and repeated counter at
tacks in swinging on the Germans
right flank. The French have
reached Guise and Guise-Marle road
and are in a position TO rush rapidly
toward Hirson and Verdun through
level country devoid of streams. The
first result of this progress has been
ito force the enemy opposing the
Tenth and Fifth French armies, ex-
hausted through fruitless counter at
tacks, tof begin backward moe
ment which is bound to extend to
the front before Rcithel.
This opens to the French Fourth
army double passage along the
Aisne and the Ardennes canal. Gen.
eral Debney's success was won b,
hard fighting. The importance the
enemy attached to stopping this pas
sage of the Disc is indicated by the
fact that three fresh divisions were
fruitlessly thrown in yesterday.
The whole German line between
Chateau Procien and the Argonne is
in danger of being turned because of
Debney's signal victory.
Longuyon is 90 miles northeast of
Verdun. They re also shelling the
Vitalvoid- Rocade railway parallellins
The front.
The Americans have entered the
fighting east of Rethel and have ad-
vanced kilometer east of Attigny
They have captured 172 prisoners.
American long range guns are f
ing on Longuyon.

Inquiries have been received from all

Alaskans who were expected to leave
Alaska about te time the Sophia

Wnlle ANXIOUS 70 meet personally
as many voters as possible, Bert D.
Noel, leading candidate for district
attorney, finds that the time inter-
vening until election day is TOO short
TO permit personal campaign of
this sort. For this reason he makes
the following statement:
"To aid, as far as possible as lay
within my physical power and that Of
my pocketbook, l worked for the Lib
erty Loan during the last drive and
for that reason laid aside any cam
paigning. I also felt that politics,
no matter how personal the cansider-
alton, should distract the public for
moment from the sacred purpose
of the war fund drive.
"The time intervening between the
successful conclusion of the loan
campaign and the date Of election is
Too short for me to- personally shake
the hand Of every voter, as should
like to do. The reult is that must
trust 10 the power of the public press
TO carry my message 10 every part of
the county.
"My platform can be summarized
in three words: Economy, efficiency
and law observance. / shall devote
my entire time to the duties of the
office, shall observe strict economy in
administering its affairs, and shall
strive for the highest efficiency. /
believe in prohibition and shall see
that this county ordinance, together
with The other laws on our statute
books, shall be rigidly enforced"
While Mr.. oel is too modest TO
discuss the situation, some OF his
supporters who re close political OBJ
servers believe that he will be elect
ed by a majority of al least 1900,
figuring on a 20 per Gent increase
in the vote over that of the primar-
les.
Joseph F. Seymour, Mr.. Noel's op-
ponent for The office of district at
torney, has joined in the demand for
cleanly-fought campaign. In a let
ter received by The Press he says:
Speaking for myself, l wish to
announce that there shall not be any
so-called mud-slinging of any kind
whatsoever or any conduct other than

Three Machines Pile Up on

Although several wild reports

The smashup of three automobiles on
lhe highway about midway between
Ell Centro and Seeley last night.
There were reports even as late as
this afternoon that one or more per-
sons had been killed or badly hurt.
The injured person was the H.
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs,
James rBown of Seeley, who was
thrown from the machine driven by
her father and landed on the road on
her head. She was painfully bruised
and badly shaken up and was brought
TO this city for teatment at the Ell
Centre hospital.
The trio of machines in the smash
were a Grant six and two Fords. The
accident was said to have been at
tributable to woman, driving one
of the Fords, who was not experienced
at the plotting wheel and who mis-
calculated the distance she had OF
pass the machine driven by Brown.
All three machines were pretty
badly smashed up, the total damage
being estimated at about $3.50.

Amsterdam, Oct. 28.-In heH re-
ploy to President Wilson, Austria
says she accepts all the Jews ex-
pressed in his note of October 10
and is willing ready, witout await
ing the result of other negotiations,
to negotiate a peace and immediate
armistince on all the Austrian
fronts.
Is Eva Marie King, the 17-year-
old Oklahoma girl who is in tho
county Jail under charge of big
amy, a matromaniac?
1t is possible that the attorney, re-
tanned by the girls father a we'll
to-do Oklahoma rancher, who is on
his way to This city to fight the court
battle for his clients freedom, will
make tis novel defense.
In partial support of this question,
unique in legal annals in this coun-
ty, are the statements of Susie
Spense, who accompanied Miss King
to The coast following their marriages
to Hindu ranchers of the Imperial
Valley.
"Without a show of shame, and,
in fact, in a spirit of boasting, Eva
admitted 10 me that she had been
married and had not received di-
vorce al the lime she married the
Hindu" said Miss Spence, now Mrs
M. H. Khan.
Adding TO her alleged offense
Miss King, after the above confess
sion, married a Los Angeles young
man here, just six weeks after the
ceremony that united her to the Hin
du rancher.

State Military Census
To Aid Liberty Loan

ALBANY, March 9.--The New York
State military census lists are to be
used in the third Liberty Loan cam
paign to give canvassers card index
of every resident Of their section SO
that they can make a house to house
canvass, checking up every ones sub
scrlptIons to the first and second loans
and their ability to take a part of the
third issue of Liberty bonds.
Representatives Of the Second Fed
eral Reserve Bank arranged with the
State Defence Council for copying on
cards the names and addresses of more
than 100000 men and women over
twentyone years who registered in the
state census outside of New York
These cards are to be sorted by coun-
ties, cities and townships, and then
will be shipped to the local Liberty
Loan committees. A thorough canvass
of every locality in the state is ex-
pected to result from this work.

Bringing down German observation
balloons by setting them afire was also

Soulier is here to demonstrate the

American aviation camps. Fifteen Of
the latest machines are due here soon
for Soulier's use.
The young officer said he had accu-
rate information refuting the report
that Guynemer, most famous lace" Of
them all, was not dead, hut prisoner
in Germany. Soulier said that the Ger
man flyers were of the higher type of
military men, as most Of the Boches
were afraid to try conclusions in the
air.
Soulier proposes to startlc New York
by flying low around the skyscrapers,
at speed of about IT'S miles an hour.
Among the tricks he will display are a
"barrel dive" and "gun-b bore tumble"
during which he falls backward, spins
around on his tail like top, and turns
over sideways two or three times, like
an auger, while going at full speed.
