In a matter of ownership. The case was
that of two brothers, who had Inherited a
farm and could not agree as TO the division
which had TO be made. They agreed that
rather than take the matter TO the courts.
they would let President Kruger decide.
President Kruger appears to have hesitated
about as little as King Solomon did. He in
structed the elder brother 10 make what he
considered fair division. and then he eave

10000 YANKEES REACHING
FRANCE DAILY SAYS FOCH
Allied Victory Is In Sight as Hun
Courage and Army Is Shaken
by American Forces.

London. Sept. 25.-Marshal Foch,
commander-in-chief of the allied
armies on the western front, who
dislikes interviews and rarely grants
one, received few newspaper men
at his headquarters Tuesday. And
among those was the correspondent
of the Telegraph, who thus records
the marshals brief utterances:
'sThe British army is better than
ever. 1t fights better than ever. All
it's losses have been made good and
it is more splendid army than it
has been before.
"The Americans are splendid and
are wonderfully gallant in the field.
Ten thousand fresh Americans ar
rive every day.
'sThe French army is the same
good old army that it was in 1914.
No more is to be said
In discussing the general situa-
ton, the marshal said:
'sThe enemy is shaken up and
shaken down but still is holding
out. You must not think that we
shall get to the Rhine Immediately
We have passed over the crest and
are now going down hill. If we
gather impetus as we go, like roll
ing ball, so much the better"
With a few cordial words the mar
shal then dismissed his interview
ers and resumed his work on his
maps.

Allied Armies Are Surrounding st.

East and West Of vardar.

London, Sept. 25-MOre than 49,
600 prisoners and 265 guns have
been taken by the British in their
successful offensive in Palestine, it
is officially announced this after
noon.
In the encircling of st. Quentin
and in driving the Germans and
Bulgarians northward in Macedo-
MIA, the allied armies are making
further progress against increased
enemy resistance
Northwest of St. Quentin the
British have followed UP the allied
success of yesterday in which the
British and French made further
gains toward the town from the
west and are pushing forward in
the direction of the northwestern
suburbs. Heavy fighting is taking
place in the region of Gricourt, less
than three miles northwest, and
selency, two and one-half miles
northwest.N The British are ad-
vancing despite counter attacks by
the Germans, who were repulsed
with severe losses.
Apparently the allies in Macedo-
MIA have completed the splitting
apart of the German-Bulgarian
forces east and west of the Vardar.
The Serbians are pressing north

which the enemy apparently VIII

VICTIMS NEARLY ALL
VICTIMS OF THE WAR
Scene Presents Terrible Spectacle
Sixty Vehicles Spend Entire Night
In Hauling Victims Away-0nly
Twelve Seem to Have Escaped.

With the British Army In France.
Sept. Pa graphic description OF
the blowing up of the German pow
der factory at Plauen, in which
more than 5000 employees were eth
er killedsor injured, is contained in
a letter found on prisoner taken
by the British. The story of the
Plauen explosion was suppressed
by the. German government.
The letter, apparently from a
friend of the German soldier, fol-
lows:
Our Sunday excursion to Plauen
was complete success. We visited
the scene of the catastrophe where
three weeks ago an explosion took
place in a powder factory where g.
S0O>men and women were employed.
Nearly all of the workers were
said to have been victims of the
IL women are said to have escaped
unhurt.
The truth, of course, one can nev-
er get at. Nevertheless, from the
few survivors one can hear about
the fate of their comrades.
Just imagine, $500, and only IL
left. Is not that frightful? The
scene presents a terrible spectacle
All the doors and windows were
shut, as usual in factories, and on
ly one side entrance, was open. A
few found their way out.
Sixty vehicles spent the entire
night hauling victims away. We
visited the masses of graves at the
eastern cemetery at Plauen. Not
withstanding the sorry spectacle,
our trip went off merrily. OF course,
we felt sorry for the unfortunate
people, but, then, one cannot al
ways be grieved; therefore, let us
look toward the sun.
