British and French veterans. have
made another vicious and successful
smash at the Hindenburg line. Sweep
ing forward on front of % miles, they
went ahead from 1-3 to 8 miles TAX
ing many prisoners. The most I'M
nortant aspect of the advance is, that
it makeD more certain the capture Of
St, Quentin, which the Germans have
been ordered to hold at all costs. This
important city is virtually surround
e5 on three sides and its fall seems
only matter of days.
Fled Marshal Haig's Third and
Fourth armies charged over the
trench system occupied by the British
before they were pushed back by the
Teutonic flood last March. They cap
tured. in wide sectors, the outer de-
fense of the Hindenburg line,
The British assault was over front
CT Is miles, from Holncn, west of st.
Quentin. to Gouzeacourt. north of
Epehy. In their advance, which~seach-
es depth Of more than three miles at
some points they took more than six
thousand prisoners.
Not only did the blow bring nearer
the capture of St. Quentin which Ger
mans are struggling desperately to
hold, but it went far towards wiping
out the only bulge in the British line
which resembles salient. Ephy, at
the apex of the bend, has been taken
and the same fate has befallen Gou-
zeaucourt and Hargicourt, which

have every drop of water chlorinated.

No Better Security on Earth.

The credit of the United States was
so high and unquestionable that in
1900, two years after the Spanish war,
2 per cent bonds were offered at par
and oversubscribed. This is a fnan-
cial performance no other nation has
ever equaled. United States 4 per
cent bonds in 1888 sold as high as 13O,
and in 1901 brought 139% on the stock
market. The United States has new
er defaulted on any Of its bonds. Not
one of it's bondholders has ever lost a
cent Of principal or interest, except
those who voluntarily have taken
losses by selling their bonds in a Pc
riod of temporary price depression

RED cRoss NOTES.

Sept. 18th, 1918.
Ten million men, women and child
rem in the occupied parts of Belgium
and France again x1ook to the Ameri-
can people to provide them with
clothing to get through the coming
winter On the success of the second
clothing drive which the American
Red Cross, at, the request Of the Bel
gian Relief Commission. will launch
on September % and continue for one
week, depends whether these sorely-
tried people are.to have enough Gov
ering for their poorly nourished
bodies during the cold weather.
Five thousand tons of clothing IS
the minimum amount, the Red Cross
hopes to ship to these people as a
result of this drive. An equal amount
was collected in the clothing cam
paign last March, and for some time
past has been in the process of dis
4ribution in Belgium and northern
France, but at least as much more $
needed according to Herbert c. Hoov-
or. chairman of the commission for
the relief of Belgium. In an appeal
- the American people for hearty
response to this worthy call, Henry
Dawson. chairman of the War
Council of the American Red Cross,
says in part:
.Paek of the German wall that for
that four years has hemmed in brave
little Belgium and her neighbors IL
northern France, 100000 human
beings look to US for clothing as Well

mi raw material have long since
been exhausted. There have been no
commercial imports since the f1rst de-
v-o~tat1on Of the country. The guam
tity of materials that the Commission
for Relief has been PRINTED to I'M
mort for manufacture into ciofh'ns
has never been sufficient, and now tine
world is short both of clothing anu

foe PLOTS TO
| TRICK ALLIES
London Sees Hun Plans to
Snatch Victory by RevoIts in
Neutral Lands.
KAISER WOULD RETURN
Rumored, Intention. of Former En-
peror to Go Back to Germany,
Creates Uncertain Situation
Foe Propagandists Active.

London, Nov. 20.-The Express
says:
There is evidence of plot to
trick the Allies, create a new Ger
man federation stronger than the
former empire, foment revolu-
tions in Holland and Switzerland,
which would be added to the fed
Grafton, and then foment revolu-
tions in Allied countries and pos
sibIy in Sweden, Eventually the
kaiser would return"
London, Nov. 20.-Reports that for
mer Emperor William may return to
Germany, as reported by the Berlin
Lokal Anzeiger's hint that he would
be allowed to enter that country, have
caused a stir here. Several papers
feature the reports as creating an UNI
certain situation which is rendered
more doubtful by accounts of the ac-
tivity of German propagandists in sew
eral countries.
Peril of Reaction Seen.
The fear mainly is that the former
emperor would sooner or later become
the center of a reactionary movement
in Germany when the present revolu-
tionary storm has blown over, and the
advocates of this view consequently
fear the return to his former empire.
On the other hand, the fact of the
former ruler placing himself or being
placed in the hands of the new rulers
of Germany, would be welcomed in
other quarters. These rulers, the
Morning Post argues, should be able to
execute judgment upon him and in so
doing would only be acting as fitting
instruments of justice.
UnWelcome in Holland.
There is everywhere, however,
agreement in the idea that the former
emperor's presence in Holland is in
tolerable and it is insisted that he
must somehow be made impotent to
do further mischief The reports from
Holland show that the unlimited guest
is becoming daily more unwelcome
there. Belated advices from The
Hague show that the Dutch socialists
reiterated in parliament their objec-
lions to his presence and demanded
that he be deported.
Plot to Trick Allies.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
The Hague reports that the German
soldiers council in Antwerp adopted
resolution that the soldiers and
workmen's council in Berlin demand
extradition of the former emperor and
the former crown prince, as well as
certain generals. The resolution ex-
presses belief that the eX-ruler exer-
cises too much influence in Holland
and forms the center of counter-revo-
lutionary intrigue.
The Daily Express sees the possibil-
ity of plot to trick the Allies and
create federation far exceeding in
strength and resources the former
German empire.

died 100000 Men.
Ships Also Carried Overseas More
Than 10000, 900 Tons of Naval
and Military Stores.

London, Nov 20.-The British ad
miralty transport service during the
war conveyed by sea 22,000,0O0 sol
diers with the loss at sea of only
1891. More than 120,000,000 tons OF
naval and military stores and more
than 100000 animals also were
transported.
The British fleet and auxiliary craft
grew during the war from total OF
100000 tons to a total of 100000
tons, while the personnel increased
from $4,000 to 100000.
In 1916 169 ships were sunk by
mines Only 25 ships were destroyed
from this cause between Jan. 1 and
Sept. 80 of this year. This has been
due to the work of British mine sweep
ers, who have steamed 1,132,000 miles
during the course of their operations
The salvage department of the navy

HOW TO FIGHT
SPANISH INFLUENZA
By DIR. L. w. BOWERS.

BY DIX. IL. w. BOWERS.
Avoid crowds, coughs and towards,
but fear neither germs nor Germans!
Keep the system in good order, take
plenty Of exercise in the fresh air and
practice cleanliness. Remember clean
mouth, clean skin, and clean bowels
are protecting armour against disease.
TO keep the liver and bowels regular
and to carry away the poisons within,
it is best to take vegetable pill every
other day, made up Of May-apple, aloes,
jalap, and sugar-coated, to be had at
most drug stores, known as DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. If there is a sudden
onset of what appears like hard cold,
one should go to bed, wrap warm, take
q hot mustard foot-bath and drink cOpi-
ously of hot lemonade. If pain develops
in head or back, ask the druggist for
Anuric (anti-uric) tablets. These will
flush the bladder and kidneys and carry
off poisonous germs. To control the
pains and aches take one Anuric tablet
every two hours, with frequent drinks
of lemonade. The pneumonia appears
in most treacherous way, when the
influenza victim is apparently recover
ing and anxious to leave his bed. In re-
covering from bad attack of influenza
or pneumonia the system should be
built up with good herbal tonic, such
as DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry, made without alcohol from the
roots and banks of American forest
trees, or his Irontic Gron tonic) tablets,
which can be obtained at most drug
stores, or send 10c. to DR.. Pierce's Inva-
lids. Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y, for trial
package.

SPECIAL CAUSE
TO Be GRATEFUL
President Wilson Calls on All
Americans to Give Thanks for
Victories of Year.
PEACE FOR THE WORLD
November % Set Aside in Prociama-
ton as Day for Thanksgiving
Promise of New Day When !
Justice Shall Replace Force.

Washington, Nov. 10. = President
Wilson, in proclamation, designated
Thursday, November %, as Thanks
giving day and said this year the
American people have special and
moving cause to be grateful and re-
joice. Complete victory, he said, has
brought not only peace, but the conf
dent promise of new day as well, in
which justice shall replace force and
jealous intrigue among the nations.
The proclamation follows:
BY the President of the United
States of America, proclamation.
1t has long been our custom to turn
in the autumn of the year in praise
and thanksgiving to Almighty God for
His many blessings and mercies to us
as nation. This year we have spe-
cial and moving cause to be grateful
and to rejoice.
God has in His good pleasure given
us peace. 1t has not come as a mere
cessation of arms, a mere relief from
the strain and tragedy of war. 1t has
come as great triumph of right.
Complete victory has brought us,
not peace alone, but the confident
promise of a new day as well, in which
justice shall replace force and jealous
intrigue among nations. Our gallant
armies have participated in triumph
which is not marred or stained by an
other purpose of selfish aggression. In
a righteous cause they have won i'm
mortal glory and have nobly served
their nation in serving mankind.
God has indeed been gracious. We
have cause for such rejoicing as re
wives and strengthens in us all the
best traditions of our national his
tory. New day shines about us, in
which our hearts take new courage
and look forward with new hope to
new and greater duties.
While we render thanks for these
things, let us not forget to seek the
Divine guidance in the performance
of those duties, and Divine mercy and
forgiveness for all errors of act OF
purpose, and pray that in all that we
do we shall strengthen the ties Of
lTl0uuSulp anu UuuCudl I0Sp0CC upon
which we must assist to build the new
structure of peace and good will
among the nations.
Wherefore, |, Woodrow Wilson
President of the United States OF
America, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the. twenty-eighth day of Novem
Der next, as a day of thanksgiving
and prayer, and invite the people
throughout the land to cease upon thai
day from their ordinary occupations
and in their several homes and places
of worship to render thanks to God
the ruler of nations.
In witness whereof, have hereuntt
set my hand and caused the seal O.
the United States to be affixed.
Done in the District of Columbia
this sixteenth day of November in the
year of our Lord One Thousand Nine
Hundred and Eighteen and of the In
| dependence of the United States o

McAdoo's recommendation for down

about $6,O00,000,000 was formally
adopted by the Senate finance commit

to the Senate by the finance COM
mittee will be framed so as to raise
about $4,000, 100000, the amount rec
commended by Secretary McAdoo. AS

WILSON DECIDES
To ATTEND MEET
President viii Go Abroad for
Purpose of Attending the
Peace Conference.
LEAVES IN DECEMBER
Official Announcement Says Chief
Executive Will Sail Immediately
After Converting of the
Next Congress.

Washington. Nov 20. = President
Wilson has decided to attend the
opening sessions of the peace confer
ence.
This was announced officially. He
will go Immediately after the conven,
ing Of the regular session of Con-
gress on Dec. 2.
This official statement was issued
at the White House:
1.-The President expects to sail for
France Immediately after the opening
of the regular session of Congress, for
the purpose of taking part in the dis
cussion and settlement of the main
features of the treaty of peace.
Must Leave Early.
1T is not likely that it will be pos
sible for him to remain throughout
the sessions of the formal peace con-
ference, but his presence at the out
set is necessary in order to obviate
the manifest disadvantages of discus
sions by cable in determining the
greater outlines of the financial treaty
about which he must necessarily be
consulted.
He will, of course, be accom-
panied by delegates, who will sit as
the representatives of the United
States throughout the conference
The names of the delegates will be
presently announced"
How long the President will remain
abroad he probably cannot say now.
Establishes Two Precedents.
In visiting Europe the President
will establish two precedents He
will be the first chief executive OF
the United States to participate in a
peace conference for the settling of is
sues growing out of war in which
this country participated and likewise
he will be the first president to leave
North America during his term OF
office.
Since the suggestion that the Presi
dent attend the peace conference first
was made there has been much dis
cussion as to whether, when absent
from this country, he would continu
to act as President. The Constitu
ton itself is silent on the question.
Taft, Roosevelt Retained Functions.
Both President Taft and President
Roosevelt continued to perform the
functions of their office while on visits
to the Canal Zone, sending instruc
tions to Washington both by cable
and wireless.
1t was pointed out that the Presi
dent in this manner could attend tt
any pressing matters of Importance
here while he is abroad.
The President probably will cross
the Atlantic on an American battle
ship, probably on one of the navy's
newest dreadnaughts.
While on such ship, it is claimed
he is on American territory and tech
nically would be absent from the
country only such time as he is &C
tually on foreign soil.

French Given Preference,

Paris, Nov. 10. - Louis Louicheur,
French minister Of munitions, has
presented to the army committee in
the Chamber of Deputies an interest
ing report regarding the transforma-
ton of the present war factories.
Measures already have been taken,
he said, designed to prevent idleness
and to insure work to French work
men and women before foreign labor
ers and prisoners are given employ
ment. The production of war mate
rial would cease progressively after
military requirements were considered.

Incident May Be Probed.

Washington, Nov. 19.-Investigation
may be ordered by the State depart
ment to ascertain whether an inten-
tional affront to the United States
was involved in an incident which
marred a celebration at San Jose,
Costa RIGA, of the signing of the ar
mistice. Reports of the affair show
that when crowds assembled before
the American and Allied legations, po-
lice appeared at the American lega-
ton and dispersed the celebrators.
Stewart Johnson, second secretary in
charge, had made brief speech.
