The Robesonian., 1918-09-26

The following summary of the war
news was given by the Associated
Press this morning:
The Teutonic allied forces in Nase-
donla and Turkey still are in flight
before the armies of the Entente
while on the highly important St.
Quentin sector in France. the British
and French armies, after hard fight
inc, have drawn more closely their!
lines in the investment of the town on
the northwest, west and SOUTH The
stubborn resistance of the Germans,
IN defense and in counter attacks, has
been unavailing except to impede the
progress Of the men of Field Marshal
Haig and General Debeney.
In Macedonia the Bulgarian and
German troops are still faced with
disaster; in Palestine the remaining
Turks seem to have scarcely a chance
for escape from the British forces and
friendly tribesmen who are closing in
upo nthe meast of the river Jordan.
I.iore than 100000 prisoners and 265
guns have been taken by the British
and yet General Allenby's appetite
for further emoluments for his hard
campaign has not been satiated
Guaged by the swiftness of the
strokes Allenby is delivering, it is his
purpose absolutely to overwhelm the
Ottomans. And the fulfillment of his
plans seems appreciably near.
In no less critical situation are the
Germans and Bulgarians in the Mace
donian theatre. Here, except imme-
diately on the Bulgarian frontier
where the mountainous country gives
them ground for stronger resistance
to the invasion of Bulgarian territory
through the passes, the Bulgarians
retreat before the Italians, Serbians,
Greeks and British. Rent in twain
at several points the enemy forces ere
hewildered and operating as separate
units.
Respectively on the western and
eastern flanks the Italians and Greeks
and British are fast throwing forward
their line sin enoeavors to envelop
the enemy while in the center. where
the Serbs have driven thir sharp
wdge toward Ishtip, there is no lag
9ing Notwithstanding the difficult ter
rltorF that is being encountered. Rea
guards Of the enemy. armed with ma
chine guns. are but little delaying
the men whose task It s to reclaim
their kingdom.
On the French front, the British
lave taken the village OF Sesency. &
scant two miles from the western
environs of St. Quentin, and both = /,
British and French troops north and
south of this line have driven further
wedges into the German front. More
than thousand prisoners and many
machine guns have been taken by the
British in. these operations. Numer-
GUS strong counter attacks were de-
livered by the enemy, both at Selecy
and at Gricourt, but Haig's men put
all of them down, with heavy losses
to the Germans.
The Germans have also reacted
strongly in the region lying west of
the Chemin des Danes, enieavoring
to regain the territory held by the
Chemin des Danes and the Laon Sec
tors. Here also the enemy was beat
EN- off.
Good weather has returned to the
American sector on the Lorraine
frcnt but nothing has occurred there
except the usual reciprocal lombard
ments and a resumption of aerial &C.
tlvity on a great scale.
Advices from Berlin are to the eff
feet that there is much perturbation
in Germany over the long distance
guns of the Americans which are
shelling the areas behind the German
line. The advices say that prepara.
tlons are being made for the expedi.
tious evacuation of the civilians from
Mezt and other places within rang
when such move becomes n-.:essary
