The Bossier banner., 1918-10-17
THE EUROPEAN WAR

There has been so much mechanical work
necessary in connection with the publica
tion of the Banner this week that it has
proved physical impessibility for one man
to meet all this and Also properly edit the
paper. We regret the omission of the usual
batch of News Nubs However. for the
benefit of those readers who do not see a
daily newspaper, VIC ARE not going to press
without making some reference to the ac-
tivities Of the Allies (which at present
means their successes, the Fourth Liberty
Loan campaign, and the attitude of official
Washington toward the latest peace propo-
sal from &c Germany.
The German successes Of some months ago
have been turned into ii rout, as the reader
inows, the change of destinics of the armies
|hinging on the date of about the middle of
July. That means that three months of
successful warfare for the Allies has fol-
loved. During this time the enemy has
lost considerably upward Of quarter Of
million men taken prisoners, about 1000
big guns and vast stores Of war materials.
This is very much, indeed, but the reader
should bear in mind he pleasingly re-
views in thought this batch of announce
mcnts, that during the spring the enemy in
his drive captured about 100000 prisoners
and :'51O big guns. and the Allied forces are
net even yet as far north of the Hinden-
burg line, taking that well fortified strong
hold as Il base, as he penetrated south of it.

He has lost campaign, 1t is true, but the
Allies lost those Of 1Yl5-16-17. bulgaria
has struck her c0lOrs, but 1t is remembered
that Belgium, Serbia and Rumania were
crushed.
