WITH THE FRENCH Arm
NORTHEAST OF RHEIMS, Oct. g.
German forces holding the line Of
the Suippe river are making their
stand there look like desperate meas
ure to reestablish situation rendered
most difficult by blows against the
front in other sectors. The entire
north bank of the Suippe is lined with
machine guns, behind which are mass
ed several fresh divisions of infantry
along a secondary Hindenburg line.
A strong force of artillery supports
them by a heavy and we'll sustained
fire.
Every advance by the French across
the river prOvOkes immediate counter
attacks. Entire divisions are thrown
against the small detachments of the
French which force the passes of the
stream. Replying to the allies tactics
of launching of heavy blows against
the extreme wings of the position at
tackled, the Germans are reinforcing
their line on the tanks on the front
along the Suippe. French troops
which crossed the Suippe river near
its junction with the Aisne have been
heavily attacked by the Germans but
have maintained their hold. Farther
east the enemy retook st. Etienne this
morning in series of bitter combats.
The town changed hands several times
during the day and finally remained
in the hands of the French.

final RUPTURE
OF HINDENbURC
Line ACHIEVED
Anglo-Saxon Forces Storm
Last Remnant of Defense
Considered Impregnable.
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Oct. 9-The Hindenburg
line no longer bars the path of the
allies. The definite rupture of it was
achieved on the first day of the fight
ing in the new development toward
the north of the great battle now rag
ing from the Escaut to the Meuse.
To Anglo-Saxon forces went the
honor of storming the last remnants of
the extraordinary maze of defenses,
in some places twelve miles in depth,
between Cambrai and st. Quentin.
The celebrated Hindenburg line or
Siegfried line, barring the Allies road
to Berlin, has been compared by the
German leaders to the great wall of
China. Until the British broke it in
the spring of 1917 they believed it
impregnable to assault as was once
the Chinese wall and regarded it as
the eighth wonder of the world.
Sixty Miles Long.
The Hindenburg line as generally
defined is about so miles long, running
in a general north and south direc-
ton across the Picardy Plais in
France. It's northern extremity was
guarded by the heavily fortified bas-
ton of Vimy Ridge and by the mining
city of Lens, whose underground cor
ridors and chambers long have barred
the British. The southern end of the
Hindenburg line, proper, is in the vi
cinity of La Fere or Laon. That end
is protected in part by the forest of
st. Gobain and the Notifications
around Laon.
Between Vimy Ridge on the north
and La Fere on the south the line pas
ses west of Cambria and ST. Quentin
SO as to protect those two important
industrial and railway centers which
are routes for bringing up supplies
for the German army.
Some war correspondents describe
the German line as continuing south
eastward from La Fere to the Aisne
River and Rheims following the line
of the Chemin des Danes. They call
that part of the line southeast of La
Fere the Alberich line. This would
add about As miles. making a toSal
length of more than 100 miles. Cen
orally, however, the Hindenburg line
has been described as running only
from Vimy Ridge to La Fere.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Sat the

present average per capita subscrip-

lotted time"
More than s4,4OO,OOO,oOo must be

Reports from all of the twelve fed

been subscribed. Only one of the
twelve districts-the st. Louis district
has raided half it's allotment. The
district totals today showed st. Louis
leading with 58.4 per cent subscribed

FORMER RUSSIAN
PREMIER IS SHOT
By Associated PreSs.)

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 9-Alexander
Feodrovitch Trepoff. former Russian
premier, has been shot, according to
advices from Petrograd.
Alexander Trepoff was born Sc
years ago. From his childhood he
was destined for the army and in this
profession he remained until he had
reached the age of twenty-seven,
when he resigned to take place in
the ministry of the interior. In 1897
he became connected with the state
chancellory, and two years later was
appointed assistant secretary Of the
imperial council
When the Duma was formed in 1905
NJ. Trepoff was member Of special
commission created for the purpose OF
laying the foundation for that body.
In 1907 he was appointed senator
Emperor Nicholas appointed him to
the imperial council in 1914 and on
November "a, 1916 he became premier.
From this office he resigned on Janu-
ary g. 1917.
M. Trepoff was responsible for the
great railroad building program which
was begun three years ago and inter
rupted by the revolution

the Cambrai-LeChateau road, which is
the only avenue of escape for the
Germans still in Cambria. 1t now
seems that the enemy must retreat
hurriedly from the Cambrai region
and that their retirement will involve
the front far to the northward.
Farther south the French have won
valuable ground and have moved
ahead so that their front is virtually
in line with that of the British and
Americans.
taon Placed in Pocket.
This advance taken in connection
with the progress of General Berthe
lots army along the Aisne, north Of
Rheims, appears to place the Laon
salient within the jaws Of pair Of
pincers. which are slowly closing. Cell
eral Berthelot has not only put Laon
in a pocket, which his advance along
the Aisne is most menacing to the
Germans farther east
General Gouraud's armies are fore
ing the enemy to retire slowly from
the temporary lines he has held north
of the Arnes river. Heavy machine
gun fire has retarded the allied ad-
vance there, but attempts by the en-
emy to organize counter-attack fail
ed completely when it was caught by
the allied heavy guns.
Americans, in company with the
French have struck the German lines
east of the Meuse river north Of YER
dun and have carried the villages OF
Charny, Brabant, Haumont, Consen-
voye and Beaumont, lying just to the
east of the river This attack was
carried out with such force that the
detectives assigned for the troops
were soon reached. At last reports
the Germans were being driven slow
ly back, desperately fighting.
Excitement In Turkey.
West of the Meuse. there has been
some sharp fighting, but no signific-
ant advances have been made during
the past day. The American pro-
gress along the eastern edge Of the
Argonne forest has forced the Ger
mans into a narrow strip Of the for
est, from which, it seems, his pro-
gress is pretty well barred.
Dispatches from Berne state that
The Turkish cabinet has resigned and
there is great excitement in Constan-
.inople. This may be an indication OF
he early withdrawal of Turkey from
he war. Allied forces operating in
he region of Damascus have scored
another success and have capture
many prisoners, as we'll as valuable
booty.

PARIS, Oct 9.-The Germans dur
ing the last few days have been using
their air work a new type of inflam-
mable bomb, combining great effec-
tiveness with light weight A single
airplane, it is said, can carry 200 Of
these bombs.
The only way of fighting the fire
caused by this new form Of destruc-
tive weapon appears to be the isola-
tion of the blaze, as pouring water on
it is literally adding fuel to the flames
on account of the chemicals Of which
the bombs are composed.
