ALLIED VICTORIES
BLAST HUN MORALE
PICKED FRENCH DIVISIONS RE-
FUSE TO BE RELIEVED FROM
THE LINE OF FIGHTING.
PRISONERS ARE DEPRESSED
General Manein Has Made More Sc
cure His Hold on the Left Bank
Of the Ailette--Enemy Resist
anee Gradually Weakens.

With the French Army. Picked
French divisions, which refused to be
relieved from the line. despite eontin-
uous nine days fighting, keep forging
ahead between the Ailette and the
Aisne. They have reached the out.
skirts of Coucy-le- Chateau, which is
two and one-half miles above their for.
mer line.
Tanks continue operating in close
conjunction with the infantry. A mum.
Der Of the big machines which had re-
ceived direct hits few days ago. have
already been repaired and are back in
action.
Between the Ailette and the Aisne
the French made progress south of
Crecy-Au-Mont, taking 100 prisoners.
Nine German airplanes were brought
down or put out of action and cap.
tive balloon was burned.
Foch is squeezing out enough elbow
room between Chauny and Scissors to
enable him to maneuver directly east
ward from south OF the Disc. This
must cause grave misgivings to Hin
denhurg.
The enemy's resistance is gradually
weakening before the relentlessness Of
the French attacks. The German gen.
erals are vainly attempting to pull out
what remains of their divisions, leav-
ing rear guard infantry detachments
and machine gun crews to stay the
advancing Poilus.
But the French persist in maintain
ing contact with the enemys main In
fantry forces. They refuse to permit
the foe TO draw out mis- units and re-
organize them for future use.
Between the Disc and Aisne Gen.
Mangin has made more secure his hold
on the left bank Of the Ailette from its
confluence with the Disc to Point st.
Mard, west OF Coucy-le-Chateau. His
right wing continues to work eastward,
its object being to clear the region
north Of Scissors.
Further evidence has been gathered
that the victories of the allies have af-
fected considerably the morale OF the
German troops. The cause Of the de-
preston. which is quite general among
the prisoners taken recently, is the
conclusion that they have reached.
after comparisons, that the allies ar
tiilery tactics are far superior TO
theirs. They attribute their defeat to
the success Of the French encircliRg
their strongest position and in we'll
directed and concentrated artillery
fire. Thus they have been unable to
hold even their best sheltered position.

THE ALLIES CAPTURE
100000 IN 6 WEEKS
DAMAGE SIX GERMAN ARMIES
SINCE JULY 15-5RITisH
EATING INTO SEVENTH.
DESIGNS OF FOCH UNKNOWN

Paris.-The allied armies have
taken more than 100000 prisoners
since July IS, says Marcel Hutin III
the Echo de Paris.
The allies have damaged six Ger.
man armies since July 10 and the Brit
ish are now eating into the seventh
with the spread OF the battle north
ward and over a front of 20 miles.
Whether the enemy is prepared or
unprepared, allied efforts have had the
same results and the Germans have
been outgeneraled and outfought. The
past six weeks have been those of
Gems. Won Even, Won Hutier and Won
Boehn, Won Even, Won Hutier and Won
der Marwitz.
The full designs of Marshal Foch
are known only to himself and per-
haps one or two others, but 1t is be-
lieved generally that his aim Is not,
as the Germans claim, to pierce their
line, but to strike a succession OF
blows to cause the enemy irreplacea
BILE losses in men and material and
to force him to make more or less dis
astrous retreats.
II that be the marshal's plan, he Is
pursuing 1t with skill and unvarying
success. Gen. Ludendorff is being
forced to expend his electives out of
all proportion to his resources on a
given sector Of the front after which
another blow is struck home on an.
other sector At no place have the
Germans apparently been strong
enough to check the attack entirely.

strict Regulations az to Conduct Have
Been Made, and They VIII Be
RlaIdly Enforced.

The German police are deter
mined that Berlin shall behave itself,
that henceforth it shall be an orderly
and a desirable place of residence.
To this end il is forbidden-our old
friend ''verboten"-to walk more
than three abreast on the pavement,
to swing walking sticks or umbrellas,
to talk loudly, whistle, sing, or shout,
to drop cigar or cigarette ends, pa
per OF fruit on the pavements, and
to wear long skirts that produce
dust. Nothing has been said 80 far
about squeaking boots, or loud-tick-
ing watches, but probably the Ger
man police have their eagle eye upon
these evils and they will be abated
in due course. Now, the fun Of the
whole thing is the fact that these
rules will be enforced. No German
law ever drops into desuetude. These
rules will have as much force IN fifty
years time as they have today unless
they shall be categorically repealed,
and they will be applied without dis
or favor.-San Francis

UNTOUCHED BY FATHER TIME
Mohammedsns Of the ThraeIan Plain
Live Almost Exactly the Same
Life as Their Ancestors.

The Turkish and other Mohamme-
dan villagers from the Thracian
plains are retracing backward the
steps of their ancestors of five GEN.
turtles ago, and leaving Europe to
return to Asia. And the weird part
of it is that in costume, conveyances
and manner of life there has been
practically no change in these five
hundred years. The wheels of their
long, narrow carts have spokes in
them now, where they used to be
solid wheels, and perhaps the rush
mating that protects the family
from the weather may be little bet
ter woven. But the oxen or buffaloes
that leisurely drag the household
along, and the barefooted wife or
the sandaled husband with the goad
who pulls these numbering animals
by string, and the primitive mode
of life on their plodding journey, all
belong to a bygone age.

LATE GARDENING PLANTING

Kentucky has made a wonderful
response to the Governments plea
for increased GARDEN PRODUC-
TION. Loyal men and women, boys
and girls, from the mountains to the
Mississippi, have welded the spade
and hoe with patriotic fervor and
signal success. But the work of
these patriots is still incomplete.
Many late crops can and must be
cultivated to the end that our peo-
pie may increase to the maximum the
food production of Kentucky. Any
thing less than the best effort on
the part of our citizens in respond
ing to the imperative demands of
this critical hour means added suf-
fering to those who fight our battles
and defend our liberties.

and AMERICA MUST FEED THEN!

own food, the railroads, already over
taxed by an immense volume of war
business, will be relieved of this add

The Government is urging our
people to plant large second crop
of potatoes. This matter should re-
ceive immediate attention. The first
crop is 40 per cent short, the North
ern states have a decreased acreage
this season; and unless a large sec
ond crop is cultivated, the potato
situation during the coming winter
and spring will be acute.
In addition to potatoes, many
other crops, and highly desirable
ones, in that they are hardy and
staple, may be planted now with a
reasonable prospect of excellent re-
turns. Turnips, several varieties of
