Americans Sweeping Ahead.
With the Anglo-American Armies
Near st. Quentin, Oct. 10.-Heavy
fighting continued throughout the
night on the Cambrai-St. Quentin front
and the British and Americans con-
tinued their progress under a heavy
protective fire from the British artil-
lery The defeated enemy was almost
snothered under the great deluge of
steel and explosives.
A large number of guns has been
captured by the British and Americans
ii. addition to the great patches Of
prisoners which continued to arrive
at the cages. The American troops
alone captured two complete field bat
teries and a battery Of heavy artil-
lery The Americans captured these
guns Tuesday afternoon, when they
suddenly outfianked both ends of the
valley south Of Fremont.
British Take Control of Air.
Throughout the day and night the
British had complete control of the
air Roads, barracks, massed troops
and batteries behind the German lines
all were targets for the busy British
bombing airplanes.
During the day it was noticeable
that German airplanes were seldom
seen. The few enemy machines that
did venture forth to places where
they were not wanted were quickly
engaged and In aerial fights consid-
cradle number Of the enemy was
brought down.
On the front of the two British ar
mics engaged elements from no fewer
than 20 enemy divisions have been
identified along the 20mile fighting
line. Such concentration of troops
seems almost incredible until 1t is
realized that some Of these divisions
have been engaged almost continu-
ously since August and many are
mere shadows of the old organizations.

reason to believe that the great Of

has reached climax and that the
next few days may witness events
which will mark an epoch in the his
tory of the war. On front extending
from Roulers Oh the north to Verdun,
far down toward the other end Of the
battle line, the Germans are being bat

of these sectors they seem to be In a

Admirably Equipped
for County Supt.

MrS. Sarric Il AntnOuy OF Florence
is the nominee Of the Republican
party of Fremont county for super.
intendent of schools and. Ia tie ooiur
ion of those who know her best, no
better selection for that oaioe could
possibly have oeen made. Mrs.. An,
thony has taught In the public schools
OF this county for 10 year.. ana is one
of its most efficient and popular in.
structors. Her first work of that
character was in the coal camps. but
for the last six or seven years it has
been in Florence where she is at
present the principal of the Central
school.
Mrs. Anthony is graduate of the
State Teachers College at Greeley.
and has kept herself in touch with the
latest educational methods by almost
yearly postgraduate study at that in,
stitution. She is thoroughly up-to-
date in her methods OF instruction and
is keenly alive to all that is best. or
most worth while In her profession.
She is an excellent disciplinarian and
takes commanding rank as a pro,
gressive. successful teacher. In all
Of these relations of Life Mrs. Anthony
commands the respect and esteem OF
those who know her. She Is
woman of strong convictions aud high
ideals. and her opinions en- all ques-
tions affecting the welfare of the COM
munity and the world at large have
earned for her the respect of all with
whom she is brought in contact
The fact that Mrs. Anthony was not
the designate OF the Republican as
sembly for county superinfepdent
does not detract in the least from her
candidacy. or the strength OF her cam
paign, although it temporarily de-
prives her of that publicity that was
accorded to the other nominees of the
party. She was indorsed Tor the
by the voters a, the
primaries in September, and II is
their wishes that are to be needed in
the matter. Such an expression OF
and commendatfon gives
her standing in the Republican
party that is unsurpassed in its secu-
rity by any other candidate on the
ticket.
Although Mrs. Anthony is not very
well known in Canon City and the
western portion Of the county. she has
a wide acquaintance in Florence and
the coal camps. in Concrete and Port
land. and will receive strong support
among the. voters there. She will
make a canvass Of those portions of
the county where she is less familiar
ly known. and. no doubt. the good
opinion entertained OF her by her
friends and neighbors will be. extenu-
ed. Mrs. Anthony. il elected. and
the prospects of her success are en-
couraging. will make splendid eoun-
