Reserve No Conditions.
 Seeing eventual defeat staring her in the face through the swift progress of the Serbian, Italian, British, Greek and French troops in the reclamation of Serbia and the invasion of Bulgar- ian territory, the Bulgarians begger for an> armistice, reserving to them selves no conditions.
 All the territory now held by King Ferdinands men. is to be evacuated; ; the Bulgarian army is to be imnaedi- ately demobilized and all means of transport inside the Kingdom, even Along the Danube, is to be given over into allied hands. ....
 Back Door Is Open.
 Thus, in addition to the isolation of Turkey, the back door to .diNect in vasion of Austria Hungary is flung wide open to the allies and doubtless the time is not far distant when ad- vantage to the full will be taken to the new avenue through which the e'1emy can be reached.
 With the debacle in Serbia and Bull garia complete, the Austro- o-Hungarians in Albania soon will be put to the test, and when their evacuation to their own borders is accomplished the allies will have welded an iron semi-circle about the central powers from the Black Sea to the North Sea.

 The British are in the process of cleaning up the town of Cambrai, hay ing penetrated it's suburbs from the northwest and southwest.
 In the region of St. Quentin. where the Americans are fighting with the British. the old Hindenburg line has been cut and penetrated to depth of three miles over front of eight miles.
 In conjunction with the operations of the French northeast of Soissons. the Germans have begun the evacua- tion of the Chemin Des Danes and the French now hold half of this famous defensive position. l Likewise there is an indication that the enemy intends to give up the re- maining positions held by him along the Vesle to Rheims.

LOCAL ALLIED ARMY WINS HIGH PRAISE Liberty Loan Chairmen to Use Local Organization
 as Model for Drive

Earl Lay of Gadsden. federal reserve agent of the Sixth district, and J. D.. Moore, chairman of the Birmingham zone for the fourth Liberty Loan cam- paign, have returned from a conference with the Sixth district Liberty Loan chairmen at Atlanta, at which plans for the campaign to be begun on Sep tember 2S were under consideration
 During the conference mention was made of the Birmingham allied army and the wonderful results obtained by it in Liberty Loan and other can4- paigns The reputation of the allied army for putting Birmingham over in all war activities had already spread far and wide and the mere mention of it halted other matters under consid- eration until MT. Moore and MT Lay could tell something of it's organiza- tion.
 'So deeply impressed with the Bir- mingham allied armies were those present" said Mir Lay last night. that they sent request to Field Marshal J. Frank Rushton that he furnish them with the details of his organization. It was conceded that Birmingham has one of the most effective organizations in the country and that it has accom- plished more In war activities than any other city in the south. The directors want to know the details of it's or ganization and it's working plans to use as a model upon which to build all others in the Sixth district"

I am meeting them personally, spending week with each of the battalions. getting their home addresses. their souvenirs, their stories, having them write 'Y' iet ters home and in every way possible establishing close line of communi- cation between them, their people at home and myself.
 Tt is a wonderful experience, the half has rot been told, and the diff ficulty on returning is not what to say, but to find time to say it in.
 These fellows have been through great hardships, but their good spirits and courageous determination is be- yond description.

I thought of the men who sat with Arthur about his table round--of Galahad. whose strength was as the strength Of ten. because his heart was pure"-of more modern time, when, as a college boy. he delighted his soul with talk of knightly deeds.
 And by some mental flash out of the great and unknown nothing, I knew that Mort oJrdan was to die.
 A year later, on this August day, he is dead
 THE CLASH OF ARMS
 He received his wound-his wounds, Mccain said--in action. It was perhaps just as the shadows of evening were falling-the twilight when in other peace full days, he drew his children around him. Everywhere the shells of the Ger man curtain fire were bursting. The fall ing night was bright as bloody, lurid day.
 And then. for the moment, there was silence. For moment! On came the German tide, man after man, column after column-came running and swear ing in the grim business of war and death. American artillery poured out it's hell into the closed German ranks. Men fell. dying, dead: column after column wiited as fine mist before a rising sun. The mass hesitated, halted, staggered. The moment had come
 Out of their trench leaped the Ala bamians. Across No Mans Land they ran to meet the horrid Hun. Their cheer rang out as German artillery hurled its sEells among them. Mort Jordan fell and as he fell, his arm. automatically. perhaps, described a circle, and his finger pointed: "Onward!"
 THE WAVING FLAG
 He is buried somewhere in France. There grow above him the French lily and the English rose. Over all. in silken folds. Old Glory waves.

 And behind him is Birmingham griev- ing-but pleased that in serving the cause and the country it yielded up in line of duty the best 1t had to offer.
