UNITED STATES FOOD
ADMINISTRATION VIEWS

Hon. Herbert Hoover in recently
discussing the live stock situation,
when the work of the International
Exposition was referred to, expressed
himself in part as follows:
81 am very glad indeed to commend
the efforts of the Internationl Live
Stock Exposition at Chicago to stimu
late and improve the production of
live stock in this country.
ct must be the desire of every
American to see our herds maintained
and improved, for not only have we
an enormous burden to carry in furn-
ishing food during the war, but after
peace has come this burden will be
even greater if the world is to re-
cover from the enormous destruction
of animals without even greater hui
man hardship than at present.
"The Exposition with all its col
lateral work naturally becomes a
great Food Training Camp, and in
so doing is performing great service
to the country
This years exposition will be staged
on a grander scale than any Of its
predecessors and the dates are Now
Both to Dec. 7th.

BAVARIA ISSUES AN
ULTIMATUM TO GERMANY 7

PARIS, Nov. There is reason to
believe. according to Berne dispatch to
the Temps, that the premier of Bavaria
has sent an urgent note to the German
government to the effect that if an ar
mistice is not concluded without. delay
he will be obliged officially to order the
Bavarian troops to return from the front.
This action, it is added, would be
taken owing to the fact that Bavaria is
menaced on her southern frontier by
allied forces and that the internal situa-
ton in Bavaria is unsatisfactory.

AMERICANS ARE
FIGHTING OFF
EVERY ATTACK
MOVE FORWARD OVER ONE OF
HOTTEST CONTESTED SECTORS
ON ALL EUROPEAN FRONT-GER-
MANS HURRY UP RESOURCES
(ByThe Associated Press)

With the American Army in France,
Oct. lit was reported late tonight
that the Americans on the front be-
tween the Meuse and the Argonne had
again moved forward over one of the
most hotly contested sectors of their
advance, the ground north and west
of Montfaucon.
The situation on the American front
along the Brieulle- -Binarville line
(running from the Meuse through the
Argonne) remained virtually un-
changed today from yesterday. 1t IS
still evident that the Germans esti-
mate fully the nature of the American
effort and are hurrying up all avail
able resources. This is true, not only
Of the enemy artillery and infSntry,
but also of the air forces. During the
day German airplanes began appear
ing over the American lines, the as
sumption being that these machines
had been withdrawn from other fronts
In an effort to minimize the American
supremacy of the last few days.
The weather conditions were far
favorable for the airmen, so that little
could be accomplished. If anything
the American aviators, with charac-
teristic enterprise more than held the
upper hands.
Fight OFF the Counters.
During the day, the chief activity
of the Americans was in holding and
eosolidating their positions in the face
OF heavy counter attacks, especially
on the debatable ground ground NORTH
ana west of Montfaucon. In the heav-
ny wooded groud of the Argonne west
u the forest, itself, the fighting be-
came reduced to mere bushwhacking
'dctlcs. This is a form of warfare in
winch the Americans, with their indi-
loual initiative, are second to none.

Observers Watch Hun Efforts

Breaches in Hindenburg Line

(By Associated Press)

Washington, Oct. 2.-The German
Grip on northern France and Belgium
has been definitely broken. Even the
most cautious military observers here
agreed tonight that the Hindenburg
line is .disintegrating and army Off
GERS centered their whole attention on
efforts of the German leaders to ex-
tricate their armies without a crush
ing disaster.
In the investment of ST. Quetine by
French troops and the swift widening
breach in the Hindenburg line north
ward coupled with the continued rap
id progress of the allies in Belgium, it
is thought here, may possibly upset
the whole German scheme OF retire
ment which is already begun on the
Rheims front.
Hinged by victorious enemies from
the North Sea to Verdun the situation
of the Germans is undoubtedly grave.
The battle line is assuming the shape
of a vast trap thrusting it's jaws out to
enguIf the German armies.
The Germans are in retreat on an
i'm portant sector of the western battle
front. A new retrograde movement on
