lean Front-Gen. AIIenby
Takes $4,000 Turks.

Washington, Sept. 23.-According to
an announcement just issued by Cen
eral March, chief of the American mill
tary staff, the United States now has
1,750,O00 troops embarked for overseas
service, and ''the news from all battle
fronts is continuously good" Six
months ago, it is pointed out, the
enemy flung his full power against the
British lines in Picardy in the great
drive that was to end the war in
smashing victory. Today he is fighting
desperately to hold the Hindenburg
line, the defensive system from which
he struck that blow and back into
which he has been hurled.
Already the American forces in
France are more than half as strong
as the whole German army, and the
tide of American fighting men towards
France is continuing at an even pace.
From reports received here the al
lied troops are progressing satisfactor-
lily in breaking down the defenses of
st. Quentin. On the north the British
are fighting in the Hindenburg posi-
lions and pressing towards the canal
between Stouentin and Cambrai, while
on the south the French are moving
forward steadily.
Germans Start Further Fires.
Southwest of Metz, where the
French and Americans recently cleared
the st. Mihiel salient, the Germans
have started further fires. Soldiers
and wagon trains have been seen NOV
ing northward and it is believed the
Germans are preparing for q possible
allied attack or retirement on their
own initiative.
Gen. AlIenby Takes $4,000 Turks.
In Palestine the Turks are receiving
crushing blows from General Allenby's
forces, which in less than four days
have swept forward over large area
between the River Jordan and the sea
and have taken the famous city of
Nazareth, while their wings have
closed in a swift enveloping movement
around all Ottoman forces in the
coastal sector, the plain Of Sharon,
the hill region and the western Jordan
valley. The British cavalry at certain
points have advanced as far as 60
miles.
Hedjas Balls Turk Rretreat.
To the northeast friendly Arab
forces under King Hedjas have cut all
railway communication in front of the
fleeing Turks and are standing as a
barrier to their escape by way Of the
eastern plains.
More than $4,000 Turkish prisoners
and extensive war stores have been
taken, including 100 guns.
