ARE FORCING HUNS
 TO QUIT BELGIUM
Allied Arms Are Slowly but Surely Driving Teutons Back to Rhine
 Belgian Coast Bombarded--Big
 Retreat Widens With Each Day.

London, Oct. 4.--There Is every in- dication, according to authoritative naval sources, of an early abandon ment by the Germans of the entire Flanders coast. The Germans already are moving their guns. The Belgian coast has been under heavy bom- bardment for the past two days.
 The British have driven their lines within six miles of Lille at Wavrin and Equinghem, according to Field Marshal Haig's communication issued tonight. Between Lens and Armen- tieres the Germans are continuing to retreat. Some further ground has been taken by the British between Cambrai and St Quentin. where there has been hard fighting.

NEWS OF VICTORY
 HURTS BOND SALE
County's Quota on Fourth Liberty Loan May Not Be Reached if Good Reports Continue to Come-Sales-
 men Working Hard to Win Out.

News of the great victories the AL lies have been winning has had it's effect on Liberty bond sales.
 Contrary to what is happening in other places, where the news has re- suited in an increase of bond sales, Mena folks are holding back their subscriptions. Fear has been ex- pressed the quota of Polk county will not be reached if the present optimis- tic outlook for an early ending of the war continues.
 Those in charge of the campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan are en- deavoring to make 1t clear to the homefolks the money is needed and that Mena must not fail to go over the top in this latest drive.
 Even tho the Allies should gain a decisive victory in the next few months Uncle Sam will need many millions to care for his fighting men and bring them safely home again. There need be no fear that the money Is not necessary. Polk county's quota IS $22O,OOO. This sum, it is estimat- ed, will feed for one day 535,000 men. These figures are based upon the gov ernment estimate of Al cents a day as the cost of feeding a soldier of the A. E. K. in France Should we fail in the loan campaign and the soldiers have to go hungry just one day Polk county could never hold it's own among loyal counties again.
 To helr in stimulating interest in the campaign a patriotic program will be given at the Lyric theater to- night. Films showing scenes of war time will be on the screen, and Judge J. l. Alley will deliver an address showing the needs of the nation at this time.
 Interest is increasing in the coming of the war exhibit train, which is scheduled to appear in Mena next Monday afternoon. A two-hour stop will be made and the home folks will have an opportunity to see actual trophies from the war zone, together with exhibits of machine guns, gas masks, bombs, torpedoes and other paraphernalia used in battles. Sol dlers who have seen actual service will accompany the train and deliver speeches.
 Total subscriptions to date are inst a little less than half of the quota of $22O,OOO. Assistant Sales Manager Leeper reports. The reports from the salesmen are coming in slowly.
 Under the liberal terms of payment offered it is hoped that every home should have it's full quota on the Fourth Liberty loan. All the banks will accept partial payments from those who are unable to pay all cash for their bonds.

A POPULAR VERDICT.

Based on Evidence of Mena People.
 Grateful thousands tell of it.
 Of weak backs made strong
 Of weak kidneys made we'll
 Urinary disorders corrected.
 Mena people add their testimony.
 They praise Doan's kidney pills.
 Mena evidence is now complete.
 Mena testimony is confirmed.
 Reports of early relief substantial ed.
 Merit doubly proved by test of time.
 Let Mena citizen speak.
 Samuel Hopp, 606 Seventh street, says: 'Lumbago and kidney com plaint came on me without warning and the pains in my back were so bad I could hardly stand them. I couldn't stand up straight or bend over. A box and half of Doan's Kidney Pills fixed me up all right"
 NEARLY THREE YEARS LATER Mir. Hopp said: "I take Doan's Kid ney Pills off and on now as sort of a kidney regulator. My former endorse ment of this medicine still holds good"
 Price eos, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mir. Hopp had. Foster Milburn Co.,, Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

Attack Austria,s Rack poorY

Washington, Oct. 3.-The armistice with Bulgaria on the surface means merely the cessation of hostilities with the smallest and most insignifi- cant of our adversaries.
 But in reality it means vastly more than that. Taken in connection with the Turkish debacle in Palestine and the daily disasters to German arms on the western front, it means the crisis and climax of the war.
 Its deep significance in relation to future events cannot be overestimat- ed. 1t is still true that the war will not end on the western front by the destruction of the kaiser's armies, but the destruction of his house of cards in the Balkans brings that felicitous event immeasurably nearer.
 While conditions in connection with armistice are in a state of uncer- tainty, it is possible to point out some of the inevitable results that will accrue from the elimination of Bulgaria as factor in the war.
 The big outstanding fact is that it opens the back door to Austria to the Allied armies.
 Many diplomats and militarists among the Allied leaders have long maintained that the war will be won not on the western front nor on the Rhine, but thru conquest of Austria Hungary.

GERMANS KEPTON
 BACKWARD MARCH
Foch's Hammer Blows Are Rolling Up Both Ends and Tearing Holes in Center of Hindenburg Line--Lens
 Among Cities Given Up by Huns

Paris, Oct 3.-Lens, the chief coal mining city of northern France, has been evacuated by the Germans. In their widespread retirement move ment near the Belgian border they also have abandoned Armentieres to the British.
 The scope of the enemy retreat is thus accentuated in the light of the official announcement from Berlin. 1t now seems certain that the nne to the south of Lens. toward Douai, will be involved.
 By giving up Armentieres, the Ger mans also have gone far toward lay ing open the great manufacturing town in the north of France, the city of Lille, to the Allies. Lille is less than seven miles east-southeast of Armentieres.

TO MAKE GERMANS STOP
 MALICIOUS DESTRUCTION
Allies Take Steps to Warn Berlin That Burning Cities Is Game
 at Which Two Can Play.

Washington, Oct 3-An ultimalum to Germany regarding the ruthless destruction of cities and private property in northern France and Bel gium is being urged on the Allies and the United States, and is under con- sideration.
 The burning of Cambrai and St.. Quetin and the devastation of one of the most populous regions of Europe as the Germans retreat has aroused great indignation, and it is said in diplomatic circles that Germany will be warned soon that if she allows the work of destruction to continue se- we're reprisals will follow.
 It is suggested that the cities of the Rhine should be marked for de- struction and the Berlin government told that for every French and Bel gian city ruined without military req son, a city equally important and valuable, sentimentally and material ly, will be laid waste.

SHOULD REJECT PEACE NOW.
Keep Up the Fight" the Spirit in
 Arkansas Today.

Special Wire to The Star.
 Little Rock, Oct. 7.-The local boards of strategy" and "councils of war" are unanimous in the opinion that Germany's "peace feeler" should be as promptly rejected as was that of Austria few weeks ago.
 Arkansas has pretty big interest In this war now, and it is the opinion of the people in this state that Presi- dent Wilson was right when he de- clared that the United States cannot treat with Germany until the kaiser is thoroly threshed, or words to that effect.
 The German offer is looked upon as a piece of characteristic Hohenzol- Tern insolence that is not worthy seri- ous consideration.
 Keep up the fight until Germany is driven off every foot of conquered territory, and the flags of the victori- ous armies of the Allies are planted on German soil--that is the spirit in Arkansas today-that is the verdict wherever the war is discussed, and it IS discussed wherever two or more persons are together.

TAKEN
 AGAIN FROM HUNS.
City Called Key to Hindenburg Line in Central France, Now in Hands of Allied Forces-New Advances
 Relieve Rheims From Danger.

French Headquarters in France, Oct. 2.-The whole of St. Quentin is now in the hands of the French.
 St. Quentin, the keystone of the old Hindenburg line in Central France, enjoys the advantage of being situat- ed at the juncture of two great can als with the Somme, one leading to the north and tapping the Scheldt and the other flowing south to the Disc, giving the city direct water connec- tion with Antwerp and Paris.
 St. Quentin has been the scene of violent fighting in the last four years, and was last captured by the French in the April offensive of 1917, re- maining in their possession until the Germans launched their big drive in March, 1918.
 Before the war it's population was about 50,000

American Lnsses Moderate.

London, Oct. 4.-The retreat of the Germans in the region between Ar mentiers and Lens has reached a depth of six miles. The enemy still is retiring slowly. The Allies are now within six miles of Lille.
 The American casualties in the heavy fighting in the Argonne region are described as moderate. The Ger mans have been unable to maintain their usual artillery fire and undoubt- edly are beginning seriously to feel the loss of the large number of guns captured from them recently all along the western front.

LIKE AN ELECTRIC
 BUTTON ON TOES
Tells Why Corn Is So Painful and Says Cutting Makes
 Them Grow

Press an electric button and you form contact with a live wire which rings the bell When your shoes press against your corn it pushes it's sharp roots down upon a sensitive nerve and you get shock of pain.
 Instead of trimming your corns. which merely makes them grow, just step into any drug store and ask for a quarter of an ounce of freezone This will cost very little but it is sui tcent to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. A few drops applied directly upon a tender aching corn stops the soreness in- stantiy, and socn the corn shrivels up so 1t lifts right out, root and all without pain. This drug freezone is harmless and never infiames or even irrltates the surrounding skin. Adv

Tanks Are Safe.

British Headquarters in France. Oct. 2.-The contingent of Americans who had been holding out since Sun day in a far advanced position be- tween Cambrai and St. Quentin against greatly superior enemy numbers, have been rescued.
 In our attacks around Vendhuile yesterday we were able to fight thru and relieve this party, numbering some hundreds, who, having taken up their position Sunday night, were surrounded by the Germans early Monday. Notwithstanding that they were opposed by such superior num- bers and only possessed the anlmuni- ton and rations which they them selves were carrying, the Americans made a magnificent resistance and the ground was strewn with German dead.

American Tanks Spread Terror.

At the American Headquarters in France, Oct. 4.-When German forces advanced Tuesday in an attempt to capture Apremont, on the front north of Verdun, American tanks suddenly emerged from the town in all direc- tions. The tanks went lurching thru the German ranks, spraying bullets into them from all sides ard spread ing the utmost terror and consterna- tion.
 The American tanks, after smash ing their way thru the German lines, wheeled about, and repeated the op- eration with deadly results. The ene- losses were extremely heavy.

How to Kill Wolves, Wild Cats, Etc.

Mike Mowdy of Beach, Ok, a Mena visitor Friday, gives the following in fallible "cure" for wolves, wild cats, foxes, etc: Take an ordinary dose of strychnine, mix we'll with pine rosin and stick behind an ear of each pig. In case any wild animal catches a pig. he is soon dead one. He states that this method will soon rid a com munity of these wild pests. When poison is put out, it usually results in their eating several doses and then getting sick and throwing it up, thus escaping death.

Eaten Raw in Time of Epidemic, It Is
 a Personal Protective.

rersonal Protective.
 Much has been said about the vir- tues of the onion, but few know of ifs use as disinfectant.
 An onion cut in half and set in a room will attract to itself all manner or germs, leaving the air sweet and pure; 1t is therefore most valuable in cases of infection. You should take care, however, to burn the onion aft erward.
 No part of an onion should ever be used, for domestic purposes after hav- ing been allowed to lie about over night. The eating of raw onions is ? great personal protective in time of epidemic, and if taken with cucun- Ders the breath is left innocent of any objectionable odor.-lLondon Chroni- cle. N'''-
