 In this section the Germans arc greatly disorganized In the 30 miles of front there are 20 divisions, or what is left of them.
 There are no signs this evening that the British are being held up anywhere; but the weather is cold and hazy and the air contact patrols have had difficulty in definitely locating from the air the rapidly advancing troops. It was re- ported by the planes, however that the British have been observed cleaning up some distance in advance of the points named. The ground here is literally honeycombed with German dugouts and shelters, and the British at some places have had to move with caution, lest such points be overlooked and the Ger mans have an opportunity to emerge from their lairs and attack them in the rear.
 The Australians and the famous Forty sixth division participated in this fight ing. More fires have sprung up, and vir- tually the whole German rear areas east

A WONDERFUL CURIOSITY WHICH SEEMS TO SIGNIFY MORE THAN A MERE
 FREAK OF NATURE

The Age-HeraId has just been shown an ear of corn by W. A. Camp of this city which he thinks signifies more than a freak of nature.
 It is an ear of corn containing 4S solid red grains, that are grown al- most in the shape of a perfect red cross. Sufficiently so at least to sug- gest the thought upon first sight An other wonderful feature Is the fact that there are no other solid red grains upon the ear, save those that are embodied in the red cross. There are 13 grains scattered about over the ear that are about one-half white and the other half red, as if to symboiize the stripes of our flag. MT. Camp con- tends that the 4S blood-red grains in the cross symbolize the stars of our flag and the 4S states of our union glorified by the crown of the Red Cross. There are also six solid blue grains scattered about over the ear, which MT. Camp construes as possibly sigrifying six years of warfare. More thar two-thirds of which he believes are past and behind us. There are many grains upon the ear that are flecked with red which might be con- strued to signify much bloodshed.
 MT. Camp bought the ear of corn from farmer and country merchant

B, HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, October Q Especial. )-Dr. H. A. Garfield government fuel administrator was notified today by George B. Mccormack of Birmingham, president of the Alabama Coal Operators association, that Alabama could not be expected to produce maximum output prior to October Is.
 According to MT. Mccormack, at pres ent coal production in Alabama is 75,- 600 tons per week short. AS a reason MT. Mccormack refers to Labor day, registration day, questionnaire day, the State Fair and other causes.
 It is believed to be the conviction of MT. Mccormack, furthermore, that Ala bama miners are receiving handsome wages, that they are not working as as siduously as when their wages were smaller.
 By October 15, however, said Mir Mccormack, ''all detracting circum- stances will have been past, and our production will resume the normal We are determined to respond far as pos sible to the urgent requirements of the government that every mine in the United States produce each week its maximum"

INFLUENZA SPREAD
 l GROWS MORE RAPID ! IN PAST A HOURS
Over 17,0O0 New Cases in
 Army Camps Reported to
 Office of Surgeon Gen. eral Yesterday

Washington, October J
 Spanish influenza increased
 more rapidly during the "A hours ending today noon than in any similar period since the disease became epidemic. Re ports to the office of the sur
 geon general of tile army showed 17,383 new cases in army camps.
 The new cases represented an in' crease of 44oS in comparison with the number reported for the preceding 2d hours A total of 2141 new pneumonia cases were reported. an increase of 2S7. Deaths at camps totalled 653 an in- crease of 390.
 FULL REPORT LACKING
 Definite reports as to the spread oi
 the disease among the civilian population
 were lacking tonight. Dispatches re- ceived by the public health service, how
 ever. told of little abatement of the epi-
 demic in most states. The stringent
 measures being taken, it was said, soon should show results.
 Camp Taylor, Ky, with 1578 new cases reported the greatest spread of influ- enza in the 24 hours ending at noon to- day. The Kentucky camp also reported 26S new cases of pneumonia, and 4U deaths have occurred At Camp Sher- l...- n loI; fo n subsiding, only 580 new cases being re- ported in comparison with more than 1000 yesterday. Fifty-three deaths, how ever, were reported from Camp sherman. For the 4S-hour period ending today at noon, 1644 new cases of influenza, zzs of pneumonia, and 45 deaths were re- ported at Camp Meade, Md. Subsistence of the disease was also noted at Camp Funston, Kan, where 943 new cases were reported today in comparison with l21t yesterday.
 The American Red Cross, which sent a number of nurses to Camp Devens, Mass, where the epidemic has been the most widespread, today received information that the situation at that camp is well in hand and that the nurses can grad ually be withdrawn and assigned to civilian needs.
 The demand for nurses has increased so rapidly because of the disease that the Red Cross tonight announced that Canadian nurses will be enlisted Tor
 service in the United States. Gains were made by the disease today in Washington, with 27 deaths reported
 in the last 24 hours, the largest numper
 for any similar period since the start Of
 the epidemic. With the exception of a
 few meetings in the open air, no church services will be held tomorrow.
