Glory Halleluiah! Huns Catching

Concluded from LIST page
the Caucasus and southern Russia
and the steady gains that are be-
ing made by the allies in making
Russia once more factor III the
struggle-the darkest days OF the
war seemingly are faced by the
Austro- Hungarians.
Although it had been officially
announced that hostilities against
the Bulgarians ceased at noon
Monday, the French official COM
munication of Monday night said
French cavalry had entered Us
kub, one of the MOST important
communication centers in Serbia.
1t is not improbable, therefore,
that the French are still hard af-
ter the Germans who are known
to have been fighting with the
Bulgarians in this region, acting
as rear-guards,
On all the sectors under attack
from Belgian Flanders to the re-
gion Of Verdun the German front
is gradually bending back under
the violence of the attacks of the
British, Americans, French and
IBelgians. In BelgiumSthe advance
of the troips of King Albert and
of Field Marshal Haig have pro-
ceeded so deeply eastward that
Germany's submarine bases on the
North sea are in jeopardy through
the impending cutting of the lines
of communication behind them.
The famous Messines- Wystchaste
ridge has been captured and the
allies guns dominate the plains
beyond.
Both Menin and Roulers, impor-
tant railroad junction points for
the supply of the German armies
north and south, virtually are in
the hands of the British and Bel
gians, and seemingly soon must
fall.
From Cambria to st. Quentin
the British and Americans again
have delivered successfully hard
smashes against the German
strong points all along the front,
including the remaining portions
of the old Hindenburg line. The
Germans here are offering most
strenuous resistance and in coun-
ter attacks compelled the British
on one or two sectors to withdraw
for slight distances. The British
are in the process of cleaning up
the town of Cambria having pene-
trated its suburbs from the north
east and southwest.
In the region of st. Quentin,
where the Americans are fighting
with the British, the old linden
burg line has been cut and pene-
trated to a depth of three miles
over front of eight miles.
In conjunction with the opera
tions Of the French northeast of
Scissors, the Germans have begun
the evacuation Of the Chemis des
Danes and the French now hold
half Of this famous defensive posi-
ton. Likewise, there is an indi-
cation that the enemy intends to
give up the remaining positions
held by him along the Vesle to
Rheims.
In Champagne the French
troops west of the Argonne forest
everywhere are pressing forwerd
and likewise to the east of this po-
sition, the Americans are moving
northward in unison. Already the
big forest is virtually outfanked
and apparently soon will be made
a part Of the Franco-American
line. From the st. Mihiel sector
the Americans are heavily bonn
harding enemy transport trains
which are being hurried to the
front.

The campaign for the eradica-
ton of the cattle tick in Florida
has been one of the most success
full ever known anywhere. The
officials of the government and
state attribute this remarkable
success to the splendid co-opera-

white light of publicity is a won

In the operation room, here autopsies

NO RECORDS ARE KEPT
Adjutant General Has No Record oi
the Crawford County Boys Now
in Military Service

County Treasurer Louie Evers is in
receipt OF letter from H. NJ. Hav-
ner. the attorney general calling his
attention to the fact that Chapter
$50. acts of the 37th General Assembly
providing "The homesteads of all SOL
diers, sailors in the military and ma
val service of the United States shall
be exempt from taxes during the term
of service in the present war; or other
property to the actual value OF $10.-
600, in the event OF no such homestead.
Mr. Evers has written Adjutant Gen
eral Guy E. Logan for the names of
Crawford county men who have enlist
ed or are in the service of the United
States in order that he may properly
record the same on his books but the
Adjutant General writes that he has
not the names of the men from this
county In the service. Some effort
should be made in this county to Sc
cure the names Of all the men who
have enlisted. We are at a loss to
understand how Crawford county will
be given the proper credit for enlist
ments when the next draft is made if
the Adjutant General has no record
