HOW GREEK ARMY
 AIDED STREAMS.
Troops Storm German Ob- servation Points With
 Success.

Athens, Greece, (Friday)-The fol- lowing authentic information has been given out hero regarding the splen- did work of the Greek troops in the recent fighting in Macedonia.
 Two Greek divisions had gone to the help of the Serbian Army, one operating on their left wing, the oth- CT on the right of the Serbs. These two Greek divisions were almost as strong in number as the Serbian Army.
 "On the other hand, the. task of the Serbian Army was greatly facili- lated by the passage of the river Fri gon by the Greek troops, thus cut ting off the Bulgarians from Mona stir. The Greek troops, besides, had stormed the heights of Cerna and Por- ta. considered as practically impreg- nable. This last feat of one of our armies obliged the Bulgarians to evacuate' the whole sector of Chev- geli, fearing to be surrounded.
 "The Greek troops had besides stormed the German observatory ot Telovo, the key to the whole strate- gic position. Here a great number of guns and considerable booty were captured.
 ''To the south the Anglo Greek troops, by a rapid onslaught, were successful in crossing the Vardar, af- terward marching toward Strumitza
 "On the eastern sector, between the Vardar and Lake Doiran, the Greeki had stormed all the fortified line oe- cupied by the Bulgarians. The Greek soldiers were fighting with such buoy ancy and enthusiasm that they hat gone beyond the points assigned tC them, which often exposed them tc the enemy's fire.
 Further, the Greek Army reached the narrow paths of Mount Beles, ant there in close cooperation with tht British troops, they occupied Stru mitza and the heights of Noun Beles.
 ''This last feat was of great i'm portance. It gave safe protection tt the French and Serbian armies ant on the other hand it discounted thu importance of the famous F't. Rupel Furthermore the situation of the Bull garian Army in East Macedonia be came critical and prevented the Bul garians sending help to their othel armies.
 "The losses of the Greek Army il men and officers were proportionatel! heavier than any of the other contin gents, thus proving the part played by the Greek Army in the downfall O Bulgaria in such short period O time."

THREE GREAT CITIES
 FREED FROM ENEMY
 TRIUMPH FOR ALLIES

Paris, Oct. 1S.--Lille, Douai and Os- tend, three great cities, have been de- hvered from the enemy. This is the most glorious day for the Allies since the Battle of the Marne, and it fit tingly terminates a. wonderful battle of three months, which was opened by General Mangin's victorious coun- ter offensive, July IS.
 Many cities have been liberated and hundreds of spare miles of territory retaken. The British south of Le Ca teau have broken into the German po- sittons and now threaten the Funding line. The whole German defense sys- tenn eastward to the Mouse is in peril.
 The road to Brussels is open. Ac- cording to latest advices the French and Belgian armies are advancing rapidly towards Bruges and Ghent. The capture of Ostend makes it pos sible to land endorsements and throw powerful forces against the ex- treme right of the German army

arlly lay down her arms, and im- medlately begin repairing the injuries to her military machine.
 In Constantinople, had many talks with typical German Junker and militarist, Baron von Wagen. helm. He was always discussing the next war as though it were some thing that already had been deter mined on. We have failed this time he would say, but we shall now store up enough cotton and copper and other materials for a five years war, and next time we shall not fail.'
 This represents the state of mind of Germany today. The German people have not abandoned their faith in militartsm, as the finest expression of their national life, nor war as their first duty as Germans. Only over whelmtng defeat will ever make them see new light. I do not believe that any peace should be made until this defeat has been administered to them.
 T am emphatica1ly one of those who believe that this war should be taken into Germany I believe that that the afflictions which Germany
 
 be visited on Germany. I believe that Is the only way in which the nation can be cured of the disease that now afclicts her. There is only one kind of Germany that will cease to men, ace the world. and that is chastened Germany. There is only one way to chaSten Germany, and that is to de- feat her so completely that the mem ory will not pass out of her mind for, many generations.
 Such defeat is absolutely essen- tial to the re-education of Germany along the lines of civilization and de- mocracy. Do not think that we can destroy the German military machine | merely by making peace with it. It l must be destroyed as a physical fact. All the German armies must be de- mobilized. All their guns and muni- t1ons must be taken away. Their for tresses must be razed, their munitions factories must be demolished, and their fleet distributed. I may be law ing down a large programme, but it can be done. Our country can send not three, or five million men, but as many million as the job will demand.
 Let us say to these kaisers that we are ready for the battle which they proposed; that we are completely stripped for combat, and that we pro- ] pose to fight until one of us is des- troyed
 | But to come back to my first point, I do believe that Germany can be made a democracy-a great democ- racy. But I regard her utter defeat in a military sense and the elimination of her war lords, as the essential pre- liminaries to the new German demo- cratic state"

BABY DOLL AND.
 TEXAS FREED ON MURDER CHARGES
Jury in Superior Court. Re turns Verdict of Not Guilty
 After Short Deliberation.
Friday, Oct. IS

''Not guilty was the verdict of the jury in the Superior court which for three weeks has been hearing evil dence in the case of the state against William Thomas (Baby DolD and Jake Hawkins CTexas) who were on trial for murder of Norris Pannill December 16, last in the riot at the Keystone club when it returned yes- terday afternoon. The deliberation of the jury lasted only an hour and 40 minutes.
 On motion of counsel for the pris- oners the verdict was accepted, and both men were discharged from GUS tody. The court then took an inde- finite recess, leaving the term open until the beginning of the December term in case there should any neces- sity arise.
 As soon as court adjourned Thomas and Hawkins were surrounded by a circle of friends, both white and col ored, and handshaking was in order. Thomas and Hawkins were smiling, and seemed happy at their release from the long custody of the sheriff.
 The verdict was not a surprise to II1OS6 WHO udN6 1OllOWGu lIS COuuuCI of the case, as it was apparent that the state had failed to proved it's con- tention Hawkins shot Pannill in the hallway of the club room.
 The charge of Judge Reed took about an hour yesterday morning and the case. was given to the jury at 1920. At o'clock the jurymen were taken to the Stratf1eld for din ner, and returned at ?. At 2:55 a rap came at the door of the jury room, and the foreman reported an agree ment had been reached.
 Judge Reed in accepting the yer dict thanked the jury for the con scientious care with which they had heard the case.
 After the disposal of the Thomas case Thomas Horace was brought be- fore the court, pleaded guilty to a charge of assault, and was sentenced to six months in jail, the sentence sus- | pended, and he was placed in charge of the probation officer. Horace, or Harris, was doorman at the club, and was struck in the eye with a bullet during the firing in the riot. He has been detained in Jail as a witness since the riot.

CLOCKS TO BE
 TURNED BACK
Agreement in Washington to Let Daylight Saving
 Measure Stand as Voted.

Washington, D. C., Friday,-No further effort will be made by Con gress to continue the existing Day. light Saving law, and the hands of the clocks will be turned back an hour on October 27, as originally in tended.
 This decision was reached yesterday at a conference between Congressional leaders and Bernard M. Baruch, chair man of the War Industries Board, who had recommended that the law re- main in force for the period of the war.
 The Senate recently passed a bill to continue the law indefinitely and 1t is now pending in the House.
 Senator Calder, of New York, au- thor of the original Daylight bill, said after the conference yesterday that difficulties of the Railroad Administra- ton and other governmental agencies in arranging schedules and anticipated difficulties in getting final action on the bill by the House contributed to the decision. The War Industries Board urged continuation of the law particularly because of it's value in the saving of fuel

 Reports on the influenza situation were received by the public health service today from states. Most of these dealt with conditions as they existed several days ago and added little to new dispatches previously sent out from the states affected.
 To provide additional funds for fighting the epidemic, Senator Lewis of Illinois, yesterday introduced a bill in the Senate to appropriate $10,000,- 900 in addition to the $1,O00,0O0 all ready provided by Congress. The money would be expended through the health departments of states and mu- nicipalities.

WANTS TO ENLIST IN NAVY UNDER AN AMERICAN NAME

Because he desires to enlist in the United States Navy, but does not wish to bring a German name into it, Emil Edward Pfeffer of Lafayette street was allowed by Judge Frank D. Haines in the Superior court today to change his name to Edward Pepper.
 Pepper is about 20 years old, and came to this country from Hanover, Germany, with his parents while quite young. His parents live in New York, but for several years Pepper has been in this city where he is employed as a tool maker, earns $3S a week, and is known generally as Edward Pepper. He dislikes the German appellation.
 It appearing that no one will be in- jured by the request for a change of name, Judge Haines granted the peti- tion.

to the Dutch frontier. It is therefore reasonable to expect that its retreat across Belgium will be rapid and that King Albert will re-enter his capital earlier than was hoped.
 At the very moment the Flanders battle was won another offensive was started in the direction of Hirzon and Vervins, by Anglo-American and French forces. The object is to take the armies of the crown prince, under helter of the Hupding line, on the flank, and force them to an early re- treat towards the Ardennes across the front of the powerful Allied right wing.
 The way back to Germany lies through two bottle necks separated by the Ardennes---the one between Liege and Dinant and the other between Montmedy and Verdun. The latter already is partially blocked. While it may be admitted that the Germans are fighting well and con- ducting their retreat with great skill military opinion here is that the great German military machine is in dan ger of collapse.

HOUSTON, TEXAS
 TO ENGAGE IN .SH|PBU|LD DING

Houston, Tex, Oct. 1S-Forty- -one vessels, including 10 barges, have been contracted for with the Elmer gency Fleet Corporation by two com panies of Houston and all are to be built on a waterway that only few years ago would not accommodate an ocean-going vessel.
 Seven ships have already been launched, four by the Universal Ship building Co. and three. by the Midland Bridge Co.,; eight more are under con- struction at the yards of each of the two concerns, and the Universal holds contracts for eight more ships, while the Midland Company has contracted for ten barges.
 Within one year after the program of the Emergency Fleet Corporation went into effect, Houston, located in | a section where former efforts along this line were confined to few small pleasure craft and an occasional barge, began launching ships. It was in April of this year that the l first vessel built of Southern yellow pine under government contract slip ped down the ways to the Houston ship camel. It was christened "Nac- ogdoches" Since that time the splen- did progress made has been the sub | ject of favorable comment by officials of the fleet corporation.
 Ships launched at the Houston yards are lowed to Beaumont to re- ceive their machinery after the fin- ishing touches are given the hulls here. A central assembling yard is | located at that point and, under the direction of the Emergency Fleet Cor poration, stores of all kinds of ma terial are assembled there to be dis tributed to the yards. In place of moving machinery to the boats, the | boats are moved to the machinery | The infant industry of shipbuilding 1 in Houston demanded the service of some 5000 men within a few weeks | after ground was broken, and the payroll now amounts to more than half million dollars each month. | Special trains carry the army of workers to the shipyards, which are situated on the channel a few miles below the turning basis. The ship builders live in Houston, which is i credited with being one of the few , cities where, with war work, extens- i've housing facilities have not caused alarm. Comfortable quarters have been provided for all.
 The Universal Shipbuilding Co.,, a local corporation, was organized sub sequent to the Fleet Corporation. The Midland Bridge Co.,, a Missouri cor pcration with headquarters at Kan sas City was, prior to the present shipbailding activities. engaged in bridge construction and the distribu- ton of structural steel. Another com- pany is now being organized to estab- hsh a concrete plant here.
 The Information Marine Iron Works is another unit in the ship building program at Houston. This company manufactures marine en- zines, boilers propellers and other appliances used in ships, and is equipped to produce heavy castings. It has contracts for propellers for
 most of the ships constructed in the | district
 Houston, as a lumber center, has shared nberally in the prosperity
 which has resulted in that industry
 from the use of Southern yellow pine
 in shipbuilding. Approximately 20
 per cent. of the total production of
 Southern sawmills is handled through
