CAPTURE 100 PRISONERS AND
GAIN ga MILES OVER
A 2H MILE
FRONT.
GERMANS FORCED TO THROW
IN THREE NEW DIVISIONS
Yankees Sing and cheered AS They
Went over the Top and Made
Their Way Through the
German Dead.

With the American Army in Picardy
American marines attacked the Ger
mans at dawn Thursday and gained
front, and captured 100 prisoners in
the Chateau Thierry sector
The French, attacking at the same
time on the left, took 100 prisoners.
The Americans now hold all important
high ground northwest of Chateau
Thierry.
Americans Take All Their detectives.
During the fighting the Americans had
attained all their detectives. The Am
orleans have been pressing the Ger
mans so hard the enemy has been
forced to throw three new divisions OF
his best troops in the line during the
last three days.
The Americans are like tigers. Their
commanders have all they can do to
hold the men back. Even the wound
ed are enthusiastic and eager to fight.
They are proud of their wounds. A
general who visited a field dressing
station said he was elated by the sight.
Yanks Wade Through Hun Dead.
The Americans sang and whistled
yankee Doodle" and cheered as they
went over the top. They made their
way swiftly through the German dead
that lay strewn in No Mans Land.
In addition to prisoners, the Ameri-
cans captured 10 machine guns. Ger
man prisoners said they had not been
fed for four days owing to the deadly
fire from the French and American
guns which prevented the bringing up
of supplies. These Germans were
without helmets. They were tired of
the war. They had been told the Brit
fish opposed them, as their comman-
ders were afraid to let them know
that ii was the Americans.
The Germans were cleared out of
Veuilly Wood also by the Americans,
whose guns were laundering against
the, enemy. The fercest fighting was
in progress at last reports near Torcy,
which lies about two and a half miles
east of Veuilly.

less than was forecast at the be-
ginning Of the season. The sevei 4
drouth during July and August is
figured to have cut the production to
that extent. The second largest
acreage of cotton on record was
planted this year and prospects ear
lier in the season seemed bright for
one of the largest crops ever grown,
but the deterioration, caused by the
dry weather in August, was likewise
the greatest ever known in single
month, according to the government
report, there being decline of 17.9
points in the condition on August
25 as compared with July 25.

The bill is response to the rec

that $4,000, 900 will be neces-
sary this year in the conduct of the
war and that one-third be raised by
taxation and two-thirds by bonds.
Sixteen billion dollars, therefore, is
to be raised by bonds and eight bill
lion dollars by taxation. The house
committee, however, makes plain
that it is not establishing a prece-
dent for future guidance as to the
relation of taxes to bonds, saying
that the amount that should be rails
ed by taxation in any given year
must necessarily be determined af-
ter due consideration is given busi-

columbia State.)
Spain very naturally is beginning
to fear complete isolation after the
war. She couid reasonably expect
no other treatment at the hands of
the allies, whose interests she has
done as little as she could to protect
in her role of neutral. She has pa
raded her neutrality on all occas-
ions, even to the extent of faring
up whenever the allies have had to
direct her attention to gross violation
of neutral conduct or attitude, or of
gross neglect, as in the notorious
case of the U-boats using the Span
ish buoys off the Mediterranean
coast as postoffce and parcels depot
But she has been very careful not to
offend the Hapsburgs or Hohenzol-
lerns, even stretching her status as
a neutral to do so.
Germany, instead of appreciating
these courtesies-she probably re-
CARDS them as the tribute Of a half
vassal-has actually seemed eager
to select Spanish ships for destruc-
tion. Perhaps Norway alone has
suffered more in this particular.
Whoever is not with Hun must be
against him, for he respects his
friends no more than his open enc
mics. But Norway has somewhat
more justification for her rather
timid and covering attitude. She is
so situated for the time. that her
coasts could be devastated by the
Hun U-boats and raiders, while she
would be exposed to the terachery of
the Huns friend, Sweden at her
back.
Spain is secure from the Hun
as secure, at least. as il is possible
for any maritime nation to be She
has up TO the present lost nothing
but her prestige as a nation, togeth-
er with 20 percentage of ner ship
ping and the lives OF more than
100 Of her sailors.
But even such losses are begin
ming to gall the naughty Castiilians.
Be"lin has been advised that the
Spanards will take possession of suf-
hc'ent Hun tonnage interned in
Spanish ports to Offset Spanish ship
ping destroyed by the Huns lawless
warfare
But Spain. we venture to remark,
Will be the next to break relations
that must have become utterly in
suiferable. She may do this. how
ever, not so much from righteous in
dignatiOn. as from the wholesome
fear Of commercial isolation after
the allies settle their score with the
Hun. There is no intention to do
Spain injury, but there will be
unless she mends her ways and takes
some due note of the cause of civil
ization-a decided tendency to leave
her alone.
And Spain cannot afford to be left
alone. She can't stand alone.
Therefore. she may decide to ignore
the Hapsburg interests, and tardily
join the allies.
That might mean a republic in !
Spain. And that wouldn't be a bad
move. There. again, she would be
trailing after her neighbors OF Por-
tugal and France.
