Bulgaria and the members OF the
striking similarity to the situation at
Athens three years ago. when Premier
Venizelos dehed King Constantine and
demanded that Greece declare war
against Germany and protect Serbia.
Nenezelos fell from power, but that
was because of the success Of the
German troops in overrunning Serbia.
Now that the allies are progressing
VIGOROUSLY, MalInoff may be able to
bring about a coup de etat in. Bull

the entente. .
Certainly Malinofrs effort shows
there is a large loss OF morale in the
Bulgarian army. A continuation of
the allies movement to Uskub will in.
crease the despirit at Sofia as nothing
else could. 1t is therefore reasonable
with serious opposition upon the part
of Car Ferdinand, the best way, for
the allies to overcome Ferdinand
would be for the allies to redouble
their military efforts.
A separate peace signed by Bulgaria
would have a crushing effects upon Ger
man ambitions in Mitteleuropa. 1t
would at the same time mean the vir.
tuaI elimination OF Turkey from the
war. The only direct connect between
Germany and Turkey Is via Bulgaria
With Bulgaria refusing a passage
through that country to Germany. Is
would be necessary for the Germans to
traverse Roumania and take ship on
the Black Sea to reach Constantinople.
Only meager war supplies could be
handled in this manner. and Turkeys
Inability to help herself probably would
result in an early surrender.

ARCONNE VICTORY
OF ALLIES GROWS

PARIS, Sept 27.-French troops
that attacked in Champagne in con-
junction with the American drive in
the Argonne forest and north Of
Verdun advanced more than three
miles over a front of more than
twenty-one miles, the war office an
nounced today. The extent of the
great allied victory is growing.
All the way from Suippe to the
Argonne forest the French brilliant
ly stormed powerful German defen-
sive works that the Germans had
been Strengthening since 1915. The
French captured 1000 German pris-
oners in the hrst day of the bat
tie, of whom 200 were officers.
General Pershing put the number
OF prisoners taken by the Americans
at over 5,000.)
The assault was renewed this morn
ing, despite bad weather.
So badly were the Germans whip
ped that they could not undertake
any counter attacks.
The text of the communiqus says.
"The attack by the French in the
Champagne is unfolding with com
plete success.
From Suippes to the Argonne for
est, first German positions, formid-
ably protected by a network OF
trenches and wire entanglements
more than five kilometres deep and
Of which the Germans had been able
to avail themselves since 1915, were
brilliantly carried by the French on
front of thirty-five kilometres and
passed at some points"

GERMAN BORN---NOW

Fifty Year Resident of Wisconsin has
Citizenship Neither in Germany
Nor in the United States.

Kenosha has "man without a
country" A grizzled old German who
has resided in this country for more
than fifty years, appeale, to the local
board this morning for registration as
a German alien ct am not a Ger
man. he declared ''I served in the
German army but when I left Ger

written off the list of German citizens.

The old man was shown every pos
sible consideration by the members of
the board and efforts will be made
to have his case brought to the atten-
ton of the federal officials with
a view of having citizenship grant

The registration of the aliens went

COMMITTEE is TO CONTROL
Supervisors Barrows, Burg and Spartz
Will Have Management of Farm-It
Will Be Rented Until Needed-No
Other Business for County Solons.

The banks of the city came to the
aid of the County Board on Saturday
afternoon and the county Board nego-
tiated loan from the three banks in
the city for the sum Of $4,000 which
has been paid for the Kellogg farm in
Pleasant Prairie. The farm was pur-
chased to be used some time in the
future as a site for a Kenosha county
hospital for in the insane but the board
took no steps to carry out this plan
and the building Of such an institu-
tion for the county is consideration
of the dim and distant future. The
majority Of the members Of the board
were not ready to commit themselves
as to when it would be put to the use
for which it was purchased but it is GER
tain that it will be several years.
The county will simply own the
farm. No effort will be made to OPP
crate it for the county but it will be
rented just as soon as a suitable ten
nant can be found and the money re-
ceived from the rental will4go into the
general funds of the county. This plan
did not meet with the unanimous sup
port Of the board members. Some of
them were of the opinion that the
farm could be operated to the profit of
the county. The plan Of operation
suggested was under the direction of
a committee made up Of County Board
members.
There was considerable discussion as
to just how this committee to manage
the farm should be named but it was
finally agreed to elect the members by
ballot. On the first ballot there was
eighteen votes cast. This being one
more vote than there are members of
the county Board Chairman Spartz de-
cided that it was invalid. Then other
ballots were taken and the committee
as finally named is composed of Sup
ervisors J. J. Barrows of Somers,
Chairman Spartz of Paris and Adolph
Burg of Kenosha. The board gave this
committee power to act In renting the
farm but no money was appropriated
to the committee and the management
Of the farm will be entirely in the
hands of the tenant.
No other business came before the
board at the session and an adjourn
ment was taken late Saturday after
noon.

Police Send Federal Officials
List of Those Who Have
Registered and Ask
for Instructions.
HARD row FOR "sLACkERs"

romeo 0HlcefS OF KenOSha have
reached the decision that there are a.
lot of German aliens in Kenosha who
are "slackers. The time for the re-
glstration of2these aliens comes to an
end on Wednesday and up to the pres
ent time but three hundred of the
aliens have been registered. This in
cludes not only the aliens from the
city but also aliens from the rural
routs served by the Kenosha post of
fee. Only four Of the aliens appeared
for registration on Monday and there
was no rush to make finger prints to.
day The list is now being. checked
up with the list of aliens registered
last year by the Federal officials and
it is expected that an immediate hunt
will be innaugurated to find the where
abouts of scores of the aliens who have
not put in an appearance.
"These people have been given every
possible chance to show a willingness
to comply with the regulations of the
government and show that they want
to remain as denisens Of this country''
declared Chief O'Hare this morning,
elf they fail to appear for registra-
tion tomorrow they must be ready to
face the only other avenue that the
government has left open for them and
that is internment at some camp until the
close of the war. I am not in a posi-
ton to say just how soon this work of
interning unregistered alien enemies
will be started but our reports to the
federal officials will go forward at once
and we will be able to act promptly
We have made no effort to drag these
people in for registration. 1t was our
understanding that the government of
fered them the chance of voluntary re-
gistration or enforced internment If
they prefer to get out of Kenosha and
into the camps it is their decision and
not ours.
Immediate orders are expected in
Kenosha for the enforcement of barred
zones and the enforcement of these re-
gulations will make it necessary for
some of the aliens to give up their work
in Kenosha factories. 1t is expected
that some consideration will be shown
to the aliens who are properly regis
tered but to just what extent this con-
sideration will be extended will de-
pend on the decision of the Federal
authorities
Many of the aliens in Kenosha have
shown a willingness to sign anything
the government suggests and to do any
thing that may be required of them.
A few of the aliens have openly de-
clared that they are not willing to be
registered but they have made this
"open" declaration among men who
they believed were in sympathy with
them. No mercy will be shown such
people. Under the regulations Of the
government the property of aliens who
fail to register may be confscated and
held until the war is over.
