IN FRANCE, Sept. s.-Anerican
artillery has opened heavy bon-
bardment of Lepitite Montague, a
powerful fortified height which rises
$50 feet at the point where the Ger
toward Rheims.
This height is the key position to
the enemy front in that region. 1t
is furrowed with strong trench
system and its slopes and crest are
defended with thick belts, of barbed
wire.
American batteries, Including many
six inch guns are hurIing hundreds -of
shells into the slopes and onto the
crest, ripping up wire, searching
ed with machine guns which com.
mand the valleys on each side, bat
tering the trenches to ruins and gen.
orally making the mountain strong
hold most unhealthy for the Gerans.
The constant thunder Of six inch
guns was rolling over the battlefield
as the American artillery Iashed the
heights with terrible hail Of shells.
German batteries behind the Aisne
replied, bombarding Fismes and the
back areas, dropping high explosives
haphazard over miles OF country in
their search for our gun positions.
simultaneously the American artil-
Iery with wonderful accuracy smash
cd the Aisne bridges behind the Ger
mans who are still on the southern
bank of the river. As this was cabIed,
five bridges have been torn up.
The enemy line from the Aisne
southeastward across the crests Of
the plateaus toward Rheims is much
the same as it was Saturday. The
Germans early today were holding
with determination to the top of the
table land. 1t is mainly the strength
of LePetite- Montague, now being bat
tered, which has slowed up the Amer
ican advance toward the Aisne on the
right of our line. A few more pris-
oners have been taken, including five
who hid out for the purpose of sur
rendering when our troops reached
their places Of conceaIment. One was
accompanied by a trained messenger

Icessity Of continuing the rushing of
American troops to France, Lord
iMilner, British minister of war. In re-S
ply to an inquiry, wrote the following
letter to the United Press correspond
ent:
You tell me that in certain circles
in the United States the view is cur
rent that our recent successes on
the west front have made the necess-
ity less urgent Of hurrying over Amer
ican troops to France and that Amer
ica's splendid war effort can now pro-
ceed at a more leisurely pace.
Il quite understand how this view
may be held, but profoundly diSagree
with it. 1t seems to me that on the
contrary, the morale of our recent sue
ceses Is just the opposite. The remark
able achievement of the allies since
July 1s, is of first importance for it
shows that we can win the war But
most assuredly we will not win the
war If we get the idea that we can af-
ford to slacken our effort. This ap-
plies to every allied nation. 1t is the
duty of the European allies to abate
nothing of their energy and indeed to
strive as If America were not behind
them.
Americas strength-great as it Is
can only be relied upon to bring
about a decision If it is added to the
forces of the European allies and not
substituted for them.
Il do not think ! could name the
reason why our pressure, both mill
tary and economic must be abated for
the instant.
From a military point of view the
successes are Of no value unless they
are followed up and to reap the fruits
OF them the enemy must be given no
rest. Weakening of his civilian as well
as his military morale depends upon
unceasing pressure

to recruit her strength by exploiting

DELIBERATIONS At
VERSAILLESMEETING
CLOTHED IN SECRECY
No Definite Announcements
Will Be Made Until ArmiS-
tice Conference Comes Out
With Full United Statement

WASHINGTON, oct 31.-Positive
facts about the Versailles conference
now Strengthening out war aims and
armistice considerations. were clothed
in secrecy today.
The general understanding here is
that no definite announcements will be
made until the conference comes forth
with a full, united statement of agree
ment on President Wilson's fourteen
points and, perhaps, simultaneously,
with armistice terms.
Reports that the armistice terms al
ready had been sent to Germany caused
surprise here.
There is growing feeling here that
there will be acceptance of the terms.
However, it is pointed out that there
are three courses Germany may pur-
sue when these terms come out, namely:
Three German Courses
First, reject them completely and con-
tinue the war.
Second, accept them and end the war.
Third, protest loudly and either try to
stir her peopls 10 ptessatfh war. or seek
to bargain over terms.
The third course is one which many
here foresee as the most likely. Wheth-
err her protestations would end in com
promise or in German acceptance are
questions only the future knows.
While the president has declared for
open door diplomacy, there are some
symptoms of applying the secret variety
to the Versailles session, though it is
assumed publicity will come eventually.
The reason for the present secrecy is
said to be that the nations involved do
not want to forewarn Germany and give
her a chance to prepare propaganda Off
setting the allied determinations.
Notes have been coming so thick ana
fast that even Secretary Lansing is

APPEAL TOPEOPLE
OF CITIES TO HELP
FARMERS IN FIELD

Following up the recent appeal to
Georgia farmers to plant an increased
acreage of wheat and other small grains,
the State Council of Defense on Thurs
day issued a bulletin declaring that the
labor shortage has made it necessary for
farmers in every community to cooper
ate with one another in clearing up
harvested cotton and corn to prepare the
fields for winter grain, and urging the
people in the towns to assist the far
merS by working IN the fields. 1t is also
suggested that every farm tractor should
be kept continuously at work TO its
maximum capacity The information and
suggestions contained in the bulletin are
regarded by Governor Dorsey as being
of the utmost Importance. The bulletin
follows:
The State Council of Defense is in
receipt of rather disquieting information
a to the acreage which is going to be
planted in wheat in this state this fall
Never has the need for increased wheat
production been more acute. The de-
mand for food will be heavier than ever
in 1919. Military conditions will not
alter this fact at all.
I'm the next six weeks Georgia must
plant an increased acreage in wheat If
it can be done by any possible means.
This means that every available agency
must be put to work Corn and cotton
are reported in the fields yet at some
PHASES. These crops must be removed
and the land put into shape for cultiva-
ton. People living in towns and villa
ges must cooperate in every way posi-
BILE with the farmers to harvest what
crops are already made. These crops
must be removed from the fields and
put into storage. All the labor that can
possibly be spared should be sent to the
farms for the next 80 days to plant as
large an acreage of wheat and oats as
possible.
1t may be necessary to organize some
help in various towns and villages to
accomplish this purpose. The demand for
abor grows more acute every day and
% a large extent this problems must be
met and solved locally.
County councils of defense should
have a careful survey of the situation
in their counties and help in every way
county should be ascertained by the To-
cal county council of defense and should
be put to work as far as possible Pr-
waite owners of tractors, if requested,
we feel sure will help in every possible
manner so as to substitute this labor
saving machinery for farm help. Far
mers in every community should en-
deavor to get together and as far as pos
Sible help each other and to use all the
available tractors in the state, both in
blowing and in narrowing.
This is vital need in Georgia to-
day and we hope very much that the
people of the state will respond to this
appeal

ed all thought of conquest, and, if it
continues the war, will be fighting sole
~ against terms of unconditional sur
render.
The ability of the Hapsburg armies
to prolong the struggle even for self
defense, is highly doubtful. The dis
migrating forces now at work within
the empire already made self-preserva-
ton impossible.
Although Austro-Hungary continues
to be thought of as one country, it IS
very doubtful whether at this moment
the authorities at Vienna are the de
facto government of the Hapsburg
empire, or indeed whether Hapsburg
empire now exists n anything but
name.
These matters will become clearer
when the troops of the dual monarchy
are behind their own boundary after
