In Macedonia and have progressed
more than five miles, according to a

here. The advancing allies have oc.

The allied troops have captured more
than 5000 prisoners and twenty-four
guns. Their casualties were light.
The allies are moving forward on
front of more than twelve miles and
have taken the village Of Gradesh-

American Army Headquarters in
Lorraine. Sept. 17.-Evidence is &C

withdrawing behind the Hindenburg
line In Lorraine If he is pressed any
further He is burning towns along

1t seems probable that new and
mighty blow against the Teutonic
armies in France will be the allies
answer to the peace proposals voiced
by Austria on behalf of the central
powers
From the sea to the Swiss frontier
there is tension which may fore
bode another development of Marshal
Foch's mastery offensive. All along
this battle line there have been local
actions by which the allies have tried
out the German positions and gained
points Of vantage from which to
launch their next assault
In the Vosges region there is great
activity by the enemy, who evidently
expects the Americans to attack the
German lines to the west of the
Rhine. In this sector the Americans
are standing on German soil and an
assault there would, II successful,
carry the war nearer to the heart of
Germany than elsewhere along the
line.
American, British and French do
tachments are reported by the Prav-
da to have met the Bolshevik forces
in battle on the Archangel front. The
Bolshevik troops, after an initial sue
cess, were repulsed by British rein
forcements and fled In panic
The British advanced their lines
slightly at several points. They are
making steady progress in the invest
ment of st. Quentin, difficult task
even under most favorable conditions.
Gen. Petains veterans are forging
ahead slowly but surely in their grim
and desperate struggle for the st. Co
balm forest, which the Germans have
been ordered to hold at all costs. Not
only is the position a natural citadel.
but the Teutons have fortified 1t in
every way their ingenuity could de-
wise.
Notwithstanding the difficulty of
their task, however, the French are
moving on. taking prisoners as they

DOCTOR WHO TASTED
90 DAYS is DEAD
Back in The SOS DR.. Tanner Was
Much Talked Of Man
Tanner died at his home here last
night.

For several weeks in the summer
of 1880, DR.. Henry S. Tanner was the
most talked about man in America, If
not in the world. This came about
through his fast of 40 days, conduct
ed at New York under strict medical
and scientific supervision, he being
the first person of modern times to
voluntarily undergo such ordeal.
DR.. Tanner first came into notice in
1877 at Minneapolis, Mimi, through
his determination to abstain from
food as an expedient of relief from
asthma, rheumatism and an ailment
of the heart. A ten day period was
fixed upon, that being then consider
ed about the limit of human endur-
ance. Finding himself benefited from
the first, according to the conviction
which he held to until the end of his
life, he continued the fast for AZ
days.
Owing to widespread doubt, espe-
cially in medical circles, as to the
genuineness of Tanners exploit, he
offered to repeat the performance
under any conditions which might be
named. After long negotiations, it
was arranged that the test should be
made under the supervision of a
prominent medical college of New
York and it commenced at noon,
June %, 1880.
Extraordinary precautions were
taken against possible deception, the
subject being confined in a bare room
and constantly watched. For fourteen
days he was permitted neither water
nor exercise. After that, in respo base
to public clamor, he was allowed g.
short daily ride il Central park and
water from a Sp2i -, therein. Larger
wagers were posted for and against
the proposition of his holding out for
40 days. the time fixed upon. The
press devoted whole pages to the test,
many of the larger newspapers keep
ing reporters constantly at the door
of the room. Even in remote rural
communities bulletins of Tanners
condition were eagerly awaited.
Tanner won the test, abstainiug
from food for an even 40 days. Phy-
sicians in all parts of the world tele-
graphed warnings as to the manner
of his breaking the fast and it was
freely predicted that he would not
long survive the first food The sub
ject disregarded all advice, first par
taking of a peach and then a large
slice Of waterm e1on. No i'll effects
followed.
Tanner was born In England Feb
ruary 7, 1881. Previous to his first
fast his health was SO precarous that
he anticipated an early death. Thir-
ty-seven years later, at the age of SO.
he announced that since the incidents
mentioned his health had been in
variably excellent.
