an inquiry, today wrote the following
letter to the United Press CORE
spondent:
You tell me that In certain circles
In the United States the view Is cur
rent that our recent successes ON the
west front have made the necessity
less urgent of hurryiug over Ameri-
can troops to France. and that
Americas splendid war effort can
now proceed at more leisurely
pace.
II quite understand how this view
may be held. but | profoundly dis.
agree with II. II seems to me that,
on the contrary. the morale OF our
recent successes is Just the opposite,
The remarkable achievement OF the
allies since July IS. Is OF first I'm
portance. for IL shows that we can
win the war. But most assuredly
we will not win the war II we got
the idea that we can afford 20 slack

This applies TO every allied ma

the successes are OF no value unless

HEAVY LOSS By FIRE.
Mason City Clay Plant Suffers 100000
Loss in Burning Of Dryer.

Mason City. Oct. 12.-Fire which
started from an undetermined origin
in the dryer of the southwest plant Of
the National clay works caused loss
of 100000 and destroyed the main
building and boiler room of the plant.
The plant is south of the Clear Lake
road and just within the city limits.
The fire gained a heavy Roadway
before it was discovered and was be-
yond control of the firemen before they
were notified of the blaze. There were
only four men working at the plant at
the time and these men did not see the
flames until they were breaking out
thru the roof. The men who were at
the plant were an engineer. boiler fire.
man and two kiln burners.
The one popularity attached to the
fire was, that altho the plant was
running. no heat had been in the dryer
for two days and the absence of heat
there makes the, fire a, mysterious one.
The interior Of the main building con-
tanned a great deal Of heavy timber
which was very dry from the heat of
drying the product and this made the
fire spread rapidly when it once
started.

Chicago, Oct, 12--Ingwar Andersen
OF Dewitt, Clinton county, Is the lat
est Iowan TO contribute. He fell for
the old race track game, and the
swindlers pocketed $4,000 OF MS
money.
Andersen told Chief of Detectives
Mooney yesterday that he was one OF
the big men of Clinton county he
didn't care so much about losing the
money, he said, as the mean advantage
taken Of him by the gentlemen VINO
pretended to be his friends.
Andersen is So years cd. He owns
one of the best farms in Clinton coun-
ty. He Is one of the stockholders In
the bank.
A few days ago Andersen went to
Excelsior Springs, No., for his health
The day after his arrival he became
acquainted with col. Walker, MIL

The "colonar' took a liking TO the
Iowa farmer and invited him to MS

met a man named Davis, who was
an old friend OF the colonel" Davis
was travelling for a fruit concern.
Davis was out of luck. He was get

TO bet. He couldn't think of taking the
firms money, for that would be dis
honest. He showed the colonel
pocketful of kilograms and every one
of them was a winner, but, alas, he did
not play them.
The colonel proposed they go to
Shawnee, Okla, where he knew OF a

Davis assented. Andersen looked so
wistfully the colonel said: Yes.
you can come along, too"
A cipher telegram brought the tip.
Andersen put up his $4,000, and, OF

Des Moines, Oct. l2.-Altho there are
many cases of influenza being reported
from over the state the number Of
deaths is comparatively small. Prompt
action on the part of the public health
authorities and on the people them
selves in caring for those afflicted is
keeping down the death rate, the Iowa

The physicians are advising those
attacked to go promptly TO bed and stay
there. and further advise the patient
to take as much nourishment as pos
sible. If the sufferer can avoid exhaus-
ton and can keep up his strength-the
serious consequences can be avoided.

Insofar as can be learned by the
state board of health officials the towns
and cities of Iowa where Spanish flu

highly approved fashion. Schools are
being closed. theaters shut down

In Des Moines the street cars are
prohibited from carrying more than can

Judges not to make commitments to

CAPTURE OF ARGoNNE FOREST
ONE OF GREAT EEATs OF
WORLD WAR.
CONSIDERED IMPROBABLE

Americans Sweep Over Ground Huns
For Years Thought Safs-Forsst
Previously Held Up French Arrniss-
Thanking Movement Turns Trick
Details Of How Yankees Fought

With the American Army in France,
Oct. 1o.-tDelayed]-In the capture of
all the Argonne forest the Americans
have effected one of the notable
achievements of the world war. 1t is
by far the biggest thing our troops
have yet done.
In a word. they have taken what was
regarded so long as an impregnable
position and one for the possession of
which hundreds of thousands of men
have died in the last four years and
two months.
Its possession has vast potentialities.
1t is the strongest defense of the east
ern wing of the great German salient
from the sea to the Moselle. Perhaps
it is the most important position the
Germans have at all. Its loss is most
serious for the Hun command.
Held Up French Armies.
To, the allies it's possession is no
less vital. A glance at the map show
ing the battle front Of the last two
weeks between Rheims and the Mouse
will indicate a deep dent has existed in
the forward moving allied line. r.
That dent was because of the Ger
man stronghold in the Argonne. The
whole eastern half of General Foch's
move has been held up by it. Now the
Germans have been driven out of il by
the first American army
The Argonne forest is about fifty
kilometers long, extending from Grand
Pre- on the north to Triancourt on the
south. Before our attack on Sept. 26
the line crossed the forest south Of
Grand Pre- thru the Bots Chatade.
Decide on Thanking Move.
The Americans had been told the
forest of Argonne could not be taken
frontally, and so when our drive start
ed the plan was to advance up the Aire
valley on the east and up the Aisne
valley on the west of the forest, pinch
ing it out
The story of how they did it is one
of the most stirring of the war Across
the forest which is series OF hills,
ravines. and dense jungles. ran the
famed Hindenburg line, four kilometers
deep. with <trenches by the hundreds
and lines of wire at short intervals for
the depth OF two and half miles.
Rocks and trees and holes formed
shelters for thousands of machine
guns. The roads had been mined or
blown up. Artillery could not be used
with effect The Germans were pro-
tected by uncounted pill boxes. dug
outs, and ready made positions. They
had every cross trail and road under
the exact range of their guns.
How They Fought Forward.
Daily dispatches and communicates
have told how slow and tortuous our
| progress was. Some days we gained a
