GERMANS LOSE
COAST OF
BELGIUM

Germany has apparently lost the
whole of the Belgian coast, which
for four years has been the base of
submarine and aerial attacks against
England and English shipping Os-
tend has been taken. Lille has been
occupied and Doual has fallen to the
allies. Belgian patrols are said to
be in Bruges. which is only about
eight miles from the Dutch frontier.
German forces, defeated and virtual
" demoralized, are said to be in full
retreat toward Antwerp.
REAR GUARDS CRUSHED
Over a wide section of the front
! in Belgian and northern France the
British, French and Belgian armies
have swept forward with relentless
speed, crushing rear guard detach-
ments left behind by the Germans to
retard pursuit. Immense quantities
of materials have been captured by
the allies and the number Of prison
ers taken is steadily mounting.
Keeping step with this movement.
although at a slower pace, the allied
forces further south have been NOV
ling ahead.
TWO YANK ARMIES
From reports it would appear that
two American contingents are oper-
ating in the front from east of Cam
brai and St. Quentin. One is work
Ing with the British and is aiding m
kthe advance into the German de-
lenses east Of LIE Cateau. The 9TH
er is with the French and is mater
ially assisting in the attempt to
.. smash in the right flank Of the Ger
l man salient northeast of Laon.

'ceeded to haul the dead mans grain
to market: With one or two excep-

and printers not having acquired the
habit of going to prison, Noah while

those who endorsed his application for
a pardon was F. O. Hellstrom, who
was warden at the penitentiary during
the first several years of Noah's i'm
prisonment.
The only full pardon granted went
to a man who has been fighting for
his country in France and who was
conditionallv pardoned four years
ago. His life since that time has been
exemplary; he has reported regularly
to the prison officials every six months

conditional pardon. and his command

Dec. 5.-The political situation in Ger
many continues to be eXtraordinar-

Daily Press. Everybody seems to be
quarrelling with everybody else.
Two grave dangers appear to be
confronting the new German repub-
lie. One is the separatists movement
headed by Kurt Eisner, the Bavarian
leader, who is issuing propaganda
against the leadership Of Berlin, and
appears to be willing to create South
German republic, including Bavaria,
Wurtemburg. SaXony and several 9TH
er states. The other danger, which
the correspondent adds is that arising
from the quarrel between the Berlin
soviet and Bolsheviki and the Berlin
committee.

The whole situation indeed is cha

German territory as it existed Au-
gust / 1914, which is farcical as no
election at the Rechstag ever can
take place again in Alsace- Lorraine.
"On the other h2nd the government
urges the allies to bring about pre-
liminary peace sometime in January
and before Germany sas real res

man political situation is character
