Hero Day Observed.

Hero Day was observed in St
Johns Catholic Church on Sunday
last. AT both Masses, the pastor,
Father McGuigan, spoke of the ap-
propriate and advantageous recoE-
milton or the spirit Or heroism which
prevails in the world to-day. "The
finer disposition Of people" he said
tends to hide itself away as the more
noble traits of the individual charac-
ter seek obscurity. The coarse and
vulgar are always forward. lit IL be-
coming therefore and of vast lmnOr-
tance that W. should from time to
time, bring forward and dwell upon
the nobler thoughts and better feel
ings which uplift, uphold and direct
nation"
Father McGuigan in his remarks
before the sermon urged the people
to buy generously of Liberty Bonds.
Tie also urged the women of the con
gregation tO respond 40 the appeal of
the Red Cross for more workers.
During the service special hymns
containing prayerful petitions for the
blessing of God upon our soldier boys
were rendered by the congregation.
A prayer for the welfare of the ma
ton was recfted during the benediction
of the Blessed Sacrament.

HALF OF HUN ARMY

AT LEAST MILLION TEUTONS ON THE
WESTFRONT KNOW AMERICANS WILL
FIGHT.

France, September 2.-One-haK OF
the German army o. the western
front has been in contact with Amer
leans And all of the German sol
diers who have come to grips with
the doughboys know OF their own per
sonal knowledge that the Americans
are dauntless fighters, even though
they are green and unframed" as
Ludendorff described them. And 1t
IL believed that the half which met
the Yankees has told the other half
of the German army all about them
It il estimated that more than 100
different German divisions have
fought against American troops since
last January, when General Perish
ing's men first took over the sector
north of Toul.
(According to this estimate there
were over 200 German divisions ol
upwards of 100000 German troops
on the western front this year.
Some Of the units that were pittet
against the Americans were dTaET
from the army of the Bavarian Grown
Prince in Flanders. The most of the
others were from the army of the
German Crown Prince, although
Americans were also sent against
troops from the army OF the Grand
1 duke M Wuertemburg. The enemy
had clashed with the Americans Oh
the Picardy front. Between the Ois'
and Aisne Rivers, on the Marne
Vesle front, on the Meuse River, OF
the Woeuvres plain and in the Vos
geS Mountains.
Three -fourths of the divisions
which have opposed The American

cans and met defeat as well.

AGREES ITO ALLIES TERMS.

Paris, Sept. 30.-An armistice has
been concluded between the Allies
and Bulgaria On the Allies own terms.
The announcement was made OH
cially today
The armistice between Bulgaria and
the Allies was signed last night, a
Saloniki dispatch states.
General Franchet d'Esprey, the
Allied commander in chief in Mace
donia, signed for the Allies and the
Bulgarian delegates for their Govern
ment. Instructions have been given
by the Government to General d'Ea-
prey to proceed Immediately tO thG
execution OF the conditions of the
armistice.
Far-reaching results probably will
ensue from the signing of the armis-
tice, the sfirst step toward peace me-
gotiations between Bulgaria and the
Allies. With Bulgaria under Allied
control the position OF thu remaining
Central Powers in the, Balkans and
\ the Near East will be most serious.
Y The main communication line be
tween Berlin and Constantinople will
be cut and Austria-Hungary viii be
open to invasion across the Danube

HUNTERS ARE WARNED
MMst Observe Both Federal and State
Game LAWS.

In making their plans to shoot mi
gratory waterfowl, hunters will do
well to note the dates Of open sea-
sons under both Federal and State
laws. This caution by the United
States Department Of Agriculture re-
suits from evidence OF confusion In
the minds of some sportsmen in re-
card to the opening df the season
when the dates conflict under State
and Federal laws.
The Federal law and regulations
limit the seasons before and after
which no one may shoot these birds.
If a State law opens the season later
or closes ID earlier than the dates
prescribed by the Federal regula-
fdpns, the season an that State ~ just
TO much further shortened. Special
attention is called to the fact that
The Federal regulations do not auth
orize any one to hunt or kill migra-
tory birds contrary to the State law

The Illinois men pushed forward
just to the west of the Meuse. Start
ing from the neighborhood or Dead
Mans Hill, they headed directly
north until half way to their desti-
nation and then turned tO the north
east. Their advance was so rapid
that in the region or Gercourt et
Drillanccurt they came upon party
of Germans just about to sit down to
| a luncheon in their dugout. The party
was overcome and a German colonel,
who was one of the group, was shot
in the heel a. te was attempting to
escape.
\ The Illinois soldiers helped them
selves to the Germans lunch or pork,
red cabbage and black bread Seven
kegs of beer, a supply Of wine and a
German typewriter were found in the
dugout The wounded colonel told
the officers he was astonished at the
rapidity df the American advance
He had nO idea that the Americans
would reach that region for days, if

many war maps and other parapher-

the Americans had to get truck to
haul his belongings to headquarters
The Illinois men had dinner and
went to bed in the positions that had
been occupied that morning hy the

cigarettes for the men, who had
moved along the west bank OF the
Meuse beyond Gercourt and consoli-
dated their positions before dark.
