Nothing to Reports of Low

Yarns About Prisoners Misrep-

American HeadQua rters in France,
Sept. 25.-Concrete information OBJ
taken by the Americans in recent
operations does not indicate an ap-
preciable breakdown of German
morale, according to examining Of
ficers. It is true that individuals oc-
casionally say they are glad they are
captured and that they are tired OF
fighting. hungry and badly treated.
but officers point out that the same
is possibly true of allied prisoners
taken by the Germans after several
days OF bombardment. 1t Is explained
that a mans morale is naturally at
capture and is usually shaken by
fighting. exposure. fatigue and pos
sibly the lack of food. At such times
men are inclined to say things which
they would retract after rest and
nourishment. Great value, therefore,
rejecting on the true conditions in
the German army and among the peo-
pie. At any rate the authorities say
that the number of Germans utter
ing such sentiments is not great.
Find German Morale Good.
Many thousands of prisoners are
now in the hands of the Americans
and this number is being constantly
increased by incessant raids. Some of
these men maintain silence. They re-
fuse to reply to questions on any SUBJ
ject or say that Germany is far from
defeat. They usually maintain a SOL
dierly bearing and sullenly resent cap
ture. The correspondent has seen and
inspected hundreds Of prisoners. Those
captured lately measure up well with
the usual standard. Men over or I'M
der the normal military age are found,
but the same is true of other Euro
pean armies long at war, whose per-
sonnet it is unfair to measure by the
high physical standard of the fresh
American troops. From great mass

Having captured Prilep and ADVANCED
far beyond into the upper valley of
the Uardar. the allied forces are re-
ported to be spreading out like the
ribs of fan. On the right the Serb
ians and French are moving toward
the northeast and have reached points
which appear to carry a distinct threat
to the great Bulgarian stronghold of
Strumnitsa. On the left thu Serbians
are moving rapidly toward the noun
tains that divide Serbia from Albania
and seem to have cut off the retreat
around Monastir by the collapse of the
line eastward from that city.
Western Wing in Peril.
The plight OF the Bulgarians on the
western side of the battle zone appears
to be serious. They are forced to
pass thru the mountains toward AL
bania where they may join forces with
the Austriens who have been fighting
for weeks against the strong Italian
and French attacks. But before they
can reach even this doubtful haven of
safety. they must pass over an almost
roadless country and must reckon with
the hostility of the hill tribes which
are known to be unfriendly to them.
Few Details From Palestine.
Few details of the situation in Pales-
tine, as it has developed in the last
couple OF days have been reported.
While the events along the Picardy
front in France lack the sensational

nevertheless of great Importance. st.

No Peace Talk "Until It's

Carries American LabOr's Mes.
sage to the French.

Paris. Sept. 25.-Samuel Gompers
president of the American Federation
of Labor, told more than a score of
French labor leaders, representing
every phase OF workmen's activities in
Franz that American labor is deter
mined to carry the war on to a. vic
torious finish. He declared Americas
working men will "see it thru what
ever may be the cost"
No Peace Tolk "Until It's Over"
Gompers said there will be no listen
ing to any peace propositions and no
peace talk until it's over
From many of the French leaders,
the Gompers' delegation received the
assurance that Frances labor will
stand with America and maintain the
home front until victory has been won
by arms. turning deaf ears to peace
trap lures.
American workers will not partici-
sentatives of enemy countries until
after the war;" Gompers declared after
he talked with the French leaders,
THE organized workers of America
have so declared. The inter-allied
conference at London declared to prac-
tically the same. We are behind Presi-
dent Wilson in the achievement of our
principles. cost what it may.
Seeks Solidarity of Aim.
1.-THE purpose of this mission is to
convince the European workers of this
determination and to attempt to bring
about a great solidarity of allied work
ers toward the same purpose"
This is in effect what Gompers IL
telling representatives of French labor.
Immediately after its arrival here
the Gompers delegation held a confer
ence with French leaders and there
was to be another conference today.
The delegation was warmly welcomed
by French laborites and government
representatives. Today members OF
the delegation were TO meet Foreign
Minister Pichon, MarshaY Joffre and

dollars. This money is needed to car
ry on the war. We cannot lick the
kaiser without it. We cannot restore
peace to the world and re-establish
liberty and democracy without it. The
huge amounts expended by America in
this war are not wholly used for de-
structive purposes. Great sums are
usad for constructive work which will
be of permanent value to the Ameri-
can people.
Building Great Merchant Marine.
I'VE are building a great merchant
marine. Upon completion it will be
the largest, most efficient and mod
ern merchant fleet in the world. The
loans to the allied governments are
represented by obligations of great ma
lions, who will in time repay them.
Out of the thirty billion dollars of ap-
propriations made by the congress for
the fiscal year 1919 it is probable that
eight billion to nine billion collars will
represent loans to the allied govern
ments and expenditures for ships,
shipyards, docks, wharves and other
facilities which will be salvaged to the
American people,
Let Everybody Help.
Asserting that Everybody should
buy bonds" Mr.. McAdoo continued:
'fWages and salaries are higher in
America today than ever before in its
history. Those who spend everything
they earn are not only living in a
fools paradise, but they are doing a
grievous injury to their country. They
are living in a fools paradise because
the same degree OF prosperity cannot
be expected to continue upon the re-
turn of peace, when the inevitable re-
adjustments of all industries must
take place; and they are doing their
country grievous injury because it is
only by saving that we can provide
our government with the money which
it must have to buy the essential sup
plies for our military forces. Every
dollar saved now and invested in lib
erty bonds will be worth much more
when peace comes again.
Must Not Relax.
'Now that we have the kaiser and
his brutal hordes on the run, let us not
relax effort, but intensity effort. Keep
hitting hard and smashing harder
That is the way to win surely and
quickly. That is the way to eliminate
the Rhine; that is the way to open an
American parade on Inter den Lin

tary. THE acid test will be applied

Of noticeable falling off in the number of

November $1.45M to $145hs, were followed
by further gains, and then something of a

IT read so much about Tanlac that
I thought it might help me, so got
me a bottle. I have taken only three
bottles so far and it has given me such
a splendid appetite that can eat any

see morning come and I always get
