 The Paris War Office reported yes- terday that French troops had made further advances northeast of Rheims, capturing St. Masmes and penetrating Hauvine. The Germans are offering powerful resistance all along this front, particularly in the vicinity of Bertricourt. The retreat of the Ger mans on the Rheims front now totals more than six miles.
 At Clement-a-Arnes heavy losses have been inflicted upon the Germans, who retired in disorder. Germans are retiring on the entire 28 mile front between Rheims and the Argonne. The Germans are retiring to the Re- tourne river.

HubbeIl told him to send out the oth- CTS, none came.
 He then made the entire staff come up and drop all arms as they emerged. Whereupon he marched them all to the rear.

 Senate Committee.

Washington, Oct. S.-Charges that the United States Brewers Associa- ton and individual members have se- cretly financed newspapers in the in- terest of the liquor traffic, contributed to the National German-American Al. lance, been convicted of corrupt po litical practices and improperly in1u- penced state and national legislation, were renewed in a memorandum filed today by Senator Jones of Washing ton, Republican, with the Senate Ju- dietary subcommittee Investigating loans by brewers to Arthur Brisbane, in- connection with the latter's pur- chase of the Washington Times.
 Senator Jones, author of the resolu- tfon adopted by the senate and under which the committee is acting, pre- sented his memorandum for the pur- pose of contending that the inquiry is unlimited in scope and not confined to the Washington Times.
 Documentary evidence, the memo randum asserts, will establish the fol- lowing facts:
 That the United States Brewers Association, individual brewers and corporations have financed newspa- papers in the interest of the liquor traffic, and deceived the public as to secret arrangements for money loaned which in some cases was to be repaid only at the discretion of the news paper owner out of the profits of the paper, if there should be any profits.
 That the United States Brewers Association and certain individual brewers who helped finance certain newspapers advocating the liquor ptrafic also contributed to the na- tional German Alliance and financed the publication of it's official organ after the sinking of the Lusitania and other similar German atrocities.
 That the United States Brewers Association and certain individual brewers and brewery correspondents have been convicted, plead guilty o1

 REMAIN IN STATE

With almost 10000 cases of influ- enxa in the state and the number con- stantiy increasing Dr. John T. Black, state health commissioner, has issued a second appeal to all doctors and nurses in Connecticut to remain in the state to meet the emergencies at home. Last week 50 nurses went to Camp Devens from patriotic and hu- manitarian motives, but the health department points out that the epf- demic is reaching such proportions that it has become the patriotic duty cf all doctors arid nurses to remain in the state. In New Britain, Meriden and Willimantic, and many other places the need for competent nurses is acute. All nurses are urged H sign up with the state health department at the capitol for immediate service.

London, Oct. S-Field Marshal von Hindenburg has stepped down from the post of Chief of the General Staff after spirited discussion with the Emperor. Hindenburg declared it was impossible to avoid a retreat on large scale. Amsterdam dispatches yesterday reported these develop ments.

DR.. Paes was professor of mathe-
mates in the University OF Coimbra
when he entered the Portuguese Cab
met in 1911 as Minister OF Public
Works. At the outbreak of the war
he was Portuguese Minister to Ger
many and remained in Berlin until
early in 1916 when he returned to
Lisbon.
President Paes never showed any
sympathy for Germany. On the con-
trary his attitude from the first was
against the Central Powers. He was
recognized by the allied leaders as a
good friend and he was more highly
regarded In the Entente capitals than
in his own, where like all Portuguese
public men. he had many enemies.
During his administration President
Paes suppressed a counter revolution
settled several strikes, advanced gen
cral education and brought warning
religious denominations together. II
was largely due to his influence that
Portuguese troops were sent to the
front to fight on the allied side, and tc
the further fact that Portugars ports
were made available for the Entente
vessels.
On December 6. while walking In
the streets OF Lisbon, DR.. Paes war
