Topeka, Kan. Nov. 6--With the
election Of Governor Arthur Cap
per and Henry J. Allen, Republl-

MACHINE GUN Is
MOST DEADLY OF
WEAPONS IN WAR

London Correspondence of the
Associated Press. )-"Of all the
weapons use in the present war,
the machine gun has unquestlon-
ahfv proved itself the most effici-
ent." says a British expert in the
Daily Mail Probably majority
OF the casualties in the war have
been caused by this weapon; GER
tainly the greater proportion of the
enormous losses during the lighting
Of the past few weeks have been SO
inflicted.
ANY type of machine gun in the
hands of a skillful operator has the
same destructive effect upon men
moving in mass formation that a
keen-edged scythe has in a field of
r;pened wheat 1t cuts broad
swathes; nothing can stand against
il.
"A weII-served machine gun is
the most formidable thing that at
tacking battalions have to face. It
is not merely the front ranks that
suffer. At anything approaching
close ranges, the bullets will go
through the front-Fank men, often
through the second rank as well,
and kill or wound those immediate
~ behind them"
There are several types of ma
chine gun now in use in the Brit
ish army, such as the Lewis, the
Maxim, the Vickers and the HOtch-
kiss. All are very mobile. They
can be moved quickly from one
place to another, advantage being
taken OF any cover that offers. Each
class of machine gun has with it
squad of about ten men. Should
tl.ey find themselves pressed too
closely, they pick up their weapon,
fall back with il. and reopen fire
upon the enemy from the next IA
yorable position.
One authority has declared that
in the field one machine gun is
worth a whole battalion OF men
armed with rifles. Few soldiers
ran keep mp ! 3 rounds per minute
rapid FIRE with a rife. but a ma
chine gun can discharge 500 rounds

TRADER IS MAKING
DARING TRIP THRU
NORTH ARCTIC ZONE

Vancouver, B. C-Captain Joe
Bernard. a daring trader of Nome,
Alaska. is spending about five years
working his way eastward in his
boat, the Teddy Bear, from the
Bering sea through the northwest
passage to the Atlantic ocean.
Reports came from Alaska some
time ago that Bernard was endeav-
Oring to navigate the northeast
passage, but no details were given.
VilhjaImur Stefansson, the Can
adian Arctic explorer. on his return
here recently from the north, con-
firmed the reports and said he
thought Bernard would reach the
Atlantic safely, as he was a good
navigator and was travelling in fair
ly well known waters.
Bernard has been out OF touch
with civilization for about two
years and, according to Stefans-
son, probably will not appear in the
Atlantic until 1921. The trader left
Alaska's far northeastern outposts
in 1916 and planned to make the
trip in FIVE years.
If Bernard succeeds, he will be
one of the very few people who
have ever negotiated the northeast
passage. The latest to come
through the icy channel was Roald
Amundsen. who negotiated the pas
sage in 1906. Stefansson planned
to make the trip. but the failure of
a boat to reach him after he had
completed the worst part Of the
trip on foot caused him to change
his plans
Bernard worked along the north
ern Canadian coast with some of
Stefansson's party in 1916. the ex-
plorer said He soon left the ex-
plorers. however. and pressed on
into the barren white waters to the
east The next heard from him
NAV be when he turns up at some
far northern Atlantic port

FOE FALLING

Allied Forces Drive After
Germans Fleeing in
General Retreat.

Berlin, Nov. 6, via London
American troops yesterday ad-
Vaneed across the river Meuse,
south Of Dun, under a violent
protective fire, and penetrated
the woods and heights on the
east bank of the river between
Mlly and VilOsnes, the German
general staff announced today.
Paris. Nov 6.-The retreat of the
Germans along the whole of the
French front continues, according
to the war Office statement today.
The French are in contact with the
enemy rear guards
Barby Captured.
North of Marie, the French have
passed beyond Voharies, five miles
southwest of the important railway
junction of Vervins. Italian troops
have occupied lie Thuel, four miles
southeast of Montcornet The
French have crossed the Aisne on
both sides of Rethel, capturing
Barby. west of Rethel. North of
the Argonne the French also have
moved forward, reaching the out
skirts of LametZ and La Cassine.
Flee on 75-MiIe Front.
Enemy forces are in full retreat
on the front of IS miles from Val
enciennes to the Meuse. They are
being pressed hotly by the allies.
British troops have crossed the
Belgian frontier east of Valenci-
enneS and have stormed Normal
forest, which covers Maubeuge.
Farther south, the French are with
in eight miles of the great Mons
Vervins-La Capelle road, the main
artery of the central part of the
German front in France. They are
separated from it only by the Nou-
WON forest.
General GuilIaumet and General
Gouraud are advancing on the
southern side of the salient, and the
! American army threatens the re-
treat of the German forces, for it is
only nine miles from Sedan. The
Americans have carried their lines
past Dun-Sur-Meuse.
AS the result of the latest battle,
in which the allies have soundly
beaten 140 German divisions, hun
dreds of villages have been freed
and thousands of prisoners have
been captured. The enemy's posi-
ton, which was bad before, may
now be said to be desperate.
Disaster PerilS Huns.
The problem confronting the Ger
man general staff may be summed
up briefly as follows:
The enemy has nine armies
strung out in a semi-circular line
from Ghent to Mouzon, yon the
Meuse. a distance of $50 miles. All
the immense fighting force must
flow back to Germany through Bel
gium, the gap between Liege and
Mouzon measuring only 70'miles.
The southern half and center of
this gap is the most difficult coun-
try. It is wooded, hilly and poor
ly supplied with roads. If the Ma
mur-Liege region is occupied by
the allies before the Germans south
OF the Sambre are able to get away
and cross the Meuse, they will be
virtually surrounded and over
whelmed in disaster.
1t should be remarked that Ghent
and lie Quesnoy are nearer Namur
and Liege than Marie and Chateau
Porcien The British armies are
less than so miles from Namur
The Germans on the Serre are 20
and those on the Aisne are rs. The
country north of the Sambre is
ideal for maneuvering.
