Hun Front Breaks
Between the Oise
and the Aisne
EXHAUSTED BY
NEW ATTACKS
Fresh Division Put
in to Save Day
Swept Aside
BY Issocratcd Press

DARIS, Oct. 2S.-Germany's
armies have begun new
- retreat, this time between
the Oisc and the Aisnc. General
Debeney's first army, in the
teeth of stubborn resistance and
repeated counterattacks, has sue
ceeded in swinging on its right
flank so that it faces cast. 1t
has reached Guise and the Guise-
Marie road, driving the enemy
before it.
General Debcney now is in
position to push rapidly along
sc upper Disc valley toward
Xirson and Nervins through a
level country devoid of streams.
The first result of his progress
is to force the enemy opposing
the Tenth and Fifth French
armies, exhausted by fruitless
counterattacks, to begin a back
ward movement which is even
tually bound to extend to the
front before Rcthcl. This will
open to the Fourth army a
double passage of the Aisne and
Ardcnnes canal.
The Importance the enemy at
tached to stopping his progress
up the Oise may be gathered
from the fact that the Germans
yesterday threw in three fresh
divisions which, however, were
knocked out.

VALUE OF sILAGE FOR SHEEP
Reduces Cost Of Raising Animal and
Supplies suceulenoe, Palatablllty
and Variety.

The addition OF sllage to rations for
all classes of sheep reduces their cost
and supplies succulence, paiatability
and variety. Likewise, rotten, moldy
sour or frozen silage should not be
used. Pregnant ewes should receive
from three TO four pounds per head
daily during the winter. This should
be supplemented with two or three
ounces per head daily Of cottonseed
cake and some hay. After the lambs
are born silage increases the milk
flow Of the ewes. In the fattening OF
lambs and yearllngs for market the
cheapest gains have usually been
made when silage constituted part
Of the ration. Rams winter well on
silage as part Of their feed.

HANG OUT THE ITALIAN FLAG
(By Porter Emerson Browne of The
Vigilantes)

We are inclined too often to forget
that Italy is our ally in this war nc
less than England, France and Bel
GUM. We are inclined to forget that
Italy has put up single-handed and
alone magnificent fight in the strug
gle of the civilized nations of earth
to make the world safe for democ
racy.
On May twenty-fourth, Italy will
have been fighting for three years
She has been fighting against terrific
odds, under the terrible handicap Of
lack Of cooperation and over the
hardest terrain Of any Of the Allies.
Mountains she had climbed, gorges
she had spanned, rivers she had
bridged. And she had carried her
lone fight to so near success that
the Germans were forced to go to the
aid Of their retreating confederates,
the Austrians, that Italy might not be
completely victorious; and the Ital-
ians were forced to withdraw, which
they did under terrific hardships, and
to reorganize, which they did with in
finite courage and the belated help
which England and France sent to
them, help that, arriving in time,
would probably have meant victory.
When we forget Italy we are I'm.
Just ,unkind and unfair. Italy has
done her part nobly. Let's give her
credit.
Hang out the Italian flag, and let
the Italians see that our appreciation
Of what they have done is real, our
gratitude for what they have done
deep, our understanding of what they
have done as deep and as limitless as
their own magnificent courage.
