ALLIES LAUNCH
TERRIFIC DRIVE
French, Americans and British
Are Attacking on Front of
Twenty Miles.
TAKE MANY PRISONERS
Initial Stage of Battle Results in
Germans Losing Strong Tactical
Positions to Depth of
Twenty Miles.

London, Oct 9.-Between Cambria
and ST. Quentin, over front of 20
miles, the American, British and
French troops have started a mighty
drive, which, in it's initial stage, has
thrown the enemy back from strong
tactical positions to depth of from
two or five miles. Numerous towns
have been captured and seemingly all
the great defensive positions of the
enemy in this region have been wiped
out.
Large numbers of prisoners have
been added to the already great
throngs captured since the Allied Of
fensive began. Added terrible casual
ties were inflicted on the enemy by
the heavy artillery fire at the begin
ming of the attack, which began early
Tuesday, and the machine gun and ri
file fire of the attacking forces against
the enemy, who resisted stubbornly
at various points.
American troops, fighting alongside
the British, always were in the van
and when night fell their positions
were where the points of penetration
of the German line were greatest. At
last accounts hard fighting was still
in progress, with the enemy steadily
giving ground.
On the southern part of the battle
front, from the Rheims sector to the
Meuse river, the French and Amer
leans are carrying out successfully
their converging movement northward
and on all sectors have gained addi-
tional ground.
Northeast of Berry-au-Bac the
French have driven their line to the
junction of the Aisne and Suippe riv-
ers, placing the German front around
Laon and eastward in greater jeopar-
dy. In Champagne General Gouraud's
forces have increased their gains all
the way eastward to the region of the
Argonne forest, while on the eastern
improved their battlefront along the
Aire valley.

Not for Publication.

Here is one story that III. e. Bar
nard, the state food administrator,
should not overlook. Ed Lane, one Of
the prominent citizens of Colfax, Clin-
ton county, became worried several
nights ago because he couldn't
sleep, and thinking that perhaps a
salt water bath might restore his
restful slumbers, he got up and pro-
ceeded to experiment with his
theory. The next day his clothing
stuck so tight to his body that he
had to have assistance from his wife
to get it off, and when she inquired
as to the reason, he informed her
that he had taken a saltwater bath
the night before. But Mrs. Lane then
realized where her sugar had gone,
and she proved to her husband that
he had got the graduated sugar
instead of the salt. The result was
painless, but Lane doesn't think that
it will do to have Mr.. Hoover or Mr..
Barnard find out he took his bath in
sugar water.-Indianapolis News.

Trenches Not So Bad!

He was a small boy about six years
old, and like most youngsters of his
age, was more or less opposed to hav-
ing his face washed any oftener than
was necessary. During the course of
one of these operations he looked at
his father and asked:
do the soldiers in the trenches get
vacations?"
"Not while they are fighting" an
swered the father.
81 guess they don't have time for va
cations" unused the boy, "Pll bet they
don't even have time to wash their
hands and face"
II suppose that is right" replied the
father, after which there was long
pause, during which the washing oper-
ations were continued.
At last the irksome task was COM
pleted. The boy heaved sigh of re-
lief, and as he left the bathroom his
father heard him say, "Gee, I wish l
was soldier fighting in the trenches"

SMALL ioLAND ALL American
One of Uncle Samuel's Most Valued
Possessions Is Little Scrap of
Land in the Pacific Ocean.

Midway, tiny scrap of an island in
the Pacific, is one OF Uncle Sans
most cherished possessions. 1t is one
Of the most valuable bits of sand and
rock in the world. The little island,
relay station for the Pacific cable,
is a link in the chain binding Asia to
the western world, the Philippines to
the United States. A message sent
to Pekin or Manila from San Fran
cisco must pass through Midway be-
fore it reaches it's destination. The
island listens to the gossip of two
continents.
Once the most desolate and forsaken
atoll in the two oceans, Midway today
promises to rival Hawaii as the para
disc of the Pacific, paradise created
by man. A tiny paradise, to be sure.
but the island has never been able
to boast of population of more than
forty at one time, and nearly half of
them were only visiting. A superin.
tendent with the imposing title Of
Guardian of the Island, his family,
doctor, with very small practice,
an engineer or two and the servants
are the sole inhabitants.
The island today is triumph Of
engineering skill. 1t was necessary
that the stations Of the cable be under
the American flag. The second link
in the chain could only be Midway, so
the nameless, pear-shaped heap Of
sand in the Pacific was transformed
into blooming bit of land with flow
ers, vegetables and even diminutive
trees. The American flag was raised
over the government house, an Amer
lean colony was transplanted to the
new island and Midway stepped into
prominence at once.
Midway is just half way around the
world from London, almost directly
over the 1S0th meridian. When it is
midnight in England, the noon sun is
shining on the smallest single bit of
American soil in the world.

SOUNDS WARNING NOTE.
Secretary McAdoo Appeals for
Strong Loan Support.
Asserts Peace Overtures and Military
Successes Should Stimulate
Bond Buying.

Washington, Oct. "a statement
has been issued by Secretary McAdoo
warning the country against allowing
overtures of peace from the enemy
and military victories to interfere with
the Fourth Liberty Loan.
The secretary made this statement:
Our victories on the battlefield and
peace overtures from our enemies
serve only to emphasize the supreme
Importance of making the Fourth Lib.
erty Loan success, in order to keep
up the fighting pressure.
Now is the time above all others
not to relax, but to intensity effort
that the goal for which we are fight
ing and for which we have already
made such sacrifices shall be won
Our boys in the trenches are not
going to stop fighting because the en-
envy is on the run. Now is the time
to fight harder and to keep moving un-
til the victory is clinched. There is
more reason than ever to put the
Fourth Liberty Loans over the top.

DOOR IS LEFT OPEN
Peace or War Issue Now Rests
With Germany.
Diplomats at Washington Consider
President Has Made
Master Stroke.

Washington, Oct. 9. = AS the full
significance of the Presidents dip
lomacy is disclosed it becomes evident
that he has left open the way to peace
and at the same time left the militar-
ist leaders of the Central powers with
question they must necessarily an
swer in a way that will lead to peace
or confront them with an embarrass-
ing situation in their own countries.
Among diplomats here the Presi-
dents communication is regarded as
one of his master strokes. 1t is
pointed out that upon cursory exam
ination it may not show such strong
terms as some may have desired All
the Presidents advisers, however, are
confident that as close consideration
reveals it's full import, it will be APP
parent that it is long step forward if
Germany really means peace, and that
if she does not it will strip bare an
other hypocrisy of German diplomacy
so completely that the responsibility
for prolonging the war never can be
charged to the Allies, even by the
German people themselves.
