FRENCH and AN|EF}IC CANS OPEN BIG
OFFENSIVE on CHAMPAGNE FRONT
Why Restriction
Is Placed on Mail.
Packages in France
HeaduuRtera

American Headquarters in
France, Sept. 10.-(Correspond-
enne of The Associated Preas.)-
The restriction Of parcel post or
express packages to the soldiers
in France from folks at home has
caused complaint from both the
men over there and generous
friends and relatives in America.
This order provides that no pack
age may be sent to q soldier in
France except when specifically
requested by the individual and
!. approved by his regimeQtal or
higher commander.
\ 1t was promulgated after .
/study of the shipping situation
as well as the needs and require
ments Of the men. Army men
point out that IL each soldier in
an army of q million and the
American expeditionary forces
are now far In excess sof that,
should receive one. five pound
package \ month IT. would involve
the handling OF 1850 net tons q
month and require approximately
5000 ship tons of transport over
seas. This would mean the sex-
elusive use OF two fair sized car
go ships o month. ~, ~
Translated into military needs,
the same amount Of ship space
would maintain in France three
full regiments of infantry COM
pletely equipped and ready for
fighting. Overseas transport, how
ever, they explain, is less for
midablc than the problem in
volved in handling and distribute
ing packages after they have ar
rived here. The men are scatter
ed all over France. No soldier
In war has a permanent address.

STAMPING OUT OF INFLUENZA
WHICH HASEXTENDED TOSC0RE
OF CAMPS IS new WAR MEASURE

Washington, Sept. Stamping
out of Spanish influenza which has
extended to- more than score OF
army camps and many sections Of the
country, has been recognized by the
government as a war measure. Med
ical and nursing units today were
mobilized in communities where the
epidemic has gained considerable
headway under the general direction
Of central committee representing
the public health service, the army,
the navy and the American Red
Cross.
Immediate relief for the localities
where influenza has gone beyond
control of the local authorities will
be the main task of the committee.
1t was explained that the principal
relief will be afforded by units at
home, for with the possible extensive
spread to other parts of the country
| it would not be advisable to shift
nurses and doctors back and forth.
! Travelling medical units will be mob
ilized, however, through the volun-
teer medical service CORPS Tho Red
Cross will provide compensation,
travelling expenses and maintenance
as a war measure and the work will
be kept up until normal conditions
are restored. 5,
| Home defense units will be organ
lied with such nurses as may be
spared from other duties and each

INVESTIGATION OF I.
ELECTION EXPENSES
HAS BEEN POSTPONED

Washington, Sept. 2s.-The senate
elections committee today, ky vote
Of 10 to /, decided to postpone unit:
after the November elections con-
sideration of the resolution provid-
ing for an investigation into expen-
ditures made in the primary cam
paign in Michigan, which resulted ia
Truman H. Newberry receiving the
ReDu1Jffuin senat0tial: nomination. I
It was also decided to postpone fur
ther consideration Of the charges in
volving the loyalty Of Senator La Fol-
lette because of his st. Paul speech
until after the election owing to the
absence from the city of many MEM
bers of the committee.
Most of the members OF the COM
mittee believed that to conduct in
quiries into campaign expenditures
now would be unfair to- candidates
and might unduly influence elections.

POSITION OF
BULCAR ARMY
f. IS DANGEROUS
Immediate Disaster Not at
Hand But Hard Struggle
Will Take Place.

Lonaen. sapt. 2e.-The position Of
the PulaRlan army on the Allied
aa is dangerous. &C
scerdllSD - IS ttssreachjng here, but
it is not believed that the army is
faced with immediate disaster. The
Italians who are advancing against
the first army from the south must
pass over much extremely rough
country before they can get in con-
tact with it.
It is believed that the first army,
which is commanded by General
Geshof will be forced to attempt a re-
treat westward into the mountains on
the Serbo-Albanian frontier.
The reports indicate that the Serbi-
ans who have cut the German-Bul-
garian communications are joining in
the Allied race for Uskub.
Virtually Encircled.
Advices received in Serbian diplo-
matte circles here today show that
the Bulgarian troops in the region OF
Of the Macedonian front are virtually
encircled by the Italians, advancing
in the direction of Kichevo and the
Franco-Serbian forces moving from
Monastir toward krushevo. The fall
Of Krushevo is expected hourly.
The only means of exit for the Bull
garians here is a narrow passage be-
tween Kichevo and Krushevo. (This
body comprises the first Bulgarian
army).-

This morning at o'clock French
troops attacked on the Champagne
front in cooperation with the Amer
lean army operating further to the
east
The Franco-Anerican attack on
the Champagne front is the first AL
lied thrust made on that sector since
Marshal Foch assumed the initiative
in July and is the logical result of the
Allied success in Picardy in driving
the Germans back to the Hindenburg
line from Arras to Laon.
A drive northward in Champagne
threatened the communication lines
in the rear of the Hindenburg defense
system, where the Germans are strug-
Cling to keep the British and French
from breaking through. While the
length of the front of attack is not
disclosed it is probable 1T extends a
good part of the distance from
Rheims to Verdun and probably be-
yond.

Military critics have pointed out
that the Champagne front was the
logical place where an Allied effort
intended to destroy the effectiveness
Of the Hindenburg line could be made
For some distance east of Rheims the
terrain is fairly level and open and an
advance of some distance here would
outfiank Laon and possibly st. Quen-
tin.
More important still. such an, ad-
vance would sever the communication
lines eastward from Laon, the pivot
of the German defenses between
Rheims and Ypres. An Allied break
through might separate the German
forces in the west into two groups.
There has been rather lively raiding
activity by both sides on the Cham
payne front in the last two weeks and
some military commentators have felt
that these were the forerunners of
greater activity

French onic.al Report.

Paris, Sept. 26.-French and Amer
lean troops began a joint attack this
morning on the Champagne front and
in the region beyond it on the east,
today's war Office statement an
nounces.
Renewed German attacks north of
the Aisne have been repulsed. At one
point where the Germans gained a
foothold on the French positions they
were elected by a counter attack.
The text Of the statement reads:
Between the Ailette and the Aisne
the Germans renewed their attacks
last evening in the region of Allemant
and Moulin-Laffaux. The enemy sue
ceeded at the latter point in penetrat-
ing the French lines but an energetic
counter attack by the French re-
established the situation.
Further south the French have
enlarged their gains, east of Sancy and
have taken prisoners.
