THE WAR news
IS best YET
BULGARIA. HAS SURRENDERED
AND THE ALLIES ARE WIN.
MING AT ALL POINTS.

TAe most glorious events OF the wal
have happened since our last issue.
Bulgaria has surrendered to the Al
lea granting every demand they made
Not only are they out of the war, but
the use OF tho country and railroads
II granted 10 the Allies. The Turks
are thus cut Off from direct commune
cation with Germany and IL is believ-
cd Turkey win surrender very soon.
They have suffered the most crushlng
defeats and can not stand much more
q this.
On tho western front the Allies are
mnAahing the Germans all along the
line. keeping them so busy At all
points that they are unable TO con-
oentrate at any one place for success
IN: resistance. 81. Quentin. one CT the
strongest and most important OF Ger
nan positions, has fallen. The Bel
CLANS have captured Dlxmude on the
coast, one Of tho German submarine
basos.
The important city OF Lille is being
evacuated by the civilian population,
which indicates its early fall into allied
hands.
Soil that has not felt the tread Of
allied troops since 1914 is now under
going that delightful experience al
many places American troops are on
German soil. II we may so speak OF the
sace-Lorraine territory OF which
France was robbed In the rape of 1871.
On TO Berlin is the cry everywhere.
Tear UP their cities as they have de-
stroyed those OF the French rephb-
'iic Nothing else makes an impress
sion on those heathenish grasplng
Huns but strong doses OF their own
medicine. No compromise should be
made with tho beasts.
