pressed in the announcement that
the surplus would be allotted.

RUMANIA MAY RE-ENTER WAR
Turkey Will Be Isolated Should Bal
kan Ally Drop Out, General March
MISUNDERSTANDING Men Now
Face kriemhield Line of Defenses.

Washington, Sept. 28.-The i'm
pending collapse of Bulgaria, General
March said today, is a direct result of
the concentration of the American
forces on the western front.
Hitherto, General March explained,
whenever a section of the Central
empires was menaced Germany was
able to withdraw divisions from the
west front to bolster up the threat
ened point. "That day now is past"
he added, las a result of the concen-
tration of the entire American army
on the western front. This has forced
the German general staff to keep in
tact their whole strength In France"
The elimination of Bulgaria, the
chief of staff pointed out should a
separate peace be granted, would
foreshadow the isolation of Turkey
and the possible re-entry of Rumania
into the war. The effect of these
events on the grand strategy of the
war was obvious, he said.
In the new Franco merican drive,
the American forces, west of Verdun
have passed beyond the Hindenburg
line and are facing the new Kriem-
HELD line. General March was unable
to identify positively American units
which participated in this action. He
said the attack was characterized by
the same sharpness and rapidity which
had heretofore marked the American
operations. On the first day Per-
shing's men advanced from five to
six miles.
Official dispatches to date show cap
ture by the Americans in this sector
of 5000 prisoners, while the French
to the west of them have taken more
than 1000.

We expect 10 get only a limited
amount during July and August,
which will be distributed as equal
ly as possible. This coal is going
TO be very scarce aud high. Most
of the iuel of the town will have
to be made up Of wood, hence 1t is
very necessary that every citizen
look after his fuel for next vii ter.
Ii he fails to do SO, it will be too
late when the bad weather. comes.
There will be some idle farm
la Dor during July and August, and
every man that can be spared
should go to to the forest and cut
wood. | suggest that the large
planter take his surplus labor to
tie woods during this idle
time and have them cut wood to
sell to the dependent people OF
the city. 1t is. necessary to con-
serve coal in order to win this war
as it is to conserve food. Hence
i is our duty to use wood and con-
serve the coal.
