ALLIES WIN BIG VICTORY
TURN GREAT GERMAN DRIVE
INTO BIG DEFEAT
Allies Capture $4,000 Prisoners and a
Mountain of War Material
Gain Ground

Last week the Germans threw them
selves in blind fury upon the French
and American forces. Their initial
rush gained them some ground and
10000 prisoners. While absorbed
in their offensive, General Foch at
tackled them upon the left flank of the
Marine salient with disastrous results
to the Boche. An American general
started the affair by saying that his
men had retired four miles and We're
going back in spite of the French COM
manders advice for them not TO coun--
ter attack. They went back! They
kept right on going! They and their
French comrades crushed in the left
flank of the salient, took $4,000 pris-
munitions. Troops also attacked the
right flank close to Rheims, and the
Germans were threatened with hav-
ing their forces put into a pocket.
Most Of their men who crossed to the
south bank of the Marine were killed
or captured and even the north bank
is now clear Of them. At places our
boys have bit into their lines to a
depth of ten miles. They have shown
themselves equal to the best troops in
the war, and the French and English
papers are wild with their praise.
Both the Crown Prince and Foch
are rushing reserves into the Marine
sector and a frightful battle is in prog
ress-the Huns trying desperately to
stem the rush If our men. The allied
success, following the collapse of the
Austrian drive a short time ago, has
flooded the allied nations with wave
of joy and courage, while stocks on the
German board of exchange have de-
clined sharply and public comment in
neutral countries shows leaning to
our cause. 1t appears that the num-
Der of American boys now in Europe
has enabled Foch to take up the Of
fensive and place the German hordes
upon the offensive from now on until
victory shall crown the most righteous
cause ever fought for by any nation

1t is Not Meeting Expenses

The La Crosse g. Southeastern rail-
way company's officials have applied
for an increase in passenger rates, re-
ports the La Crosse Tribune of last
Thursday.
Announcement to that effect was
made by the state railway commission
which will set date for the hearing.
No increase in freight tariffs is asked.
Not Paying Expenses
eve are not making enough money
to pay our expenses" said Peter Va
lier, general superintendent I'VE are
not receiving the same money for trav-
ell over our road that the other rail-
roads do over their lines. 1t costs
$1.9S to go to Viroqua over the Mil
waukee line and only Sl.37 over our
line. These rates include the war tax.
Mr.. Waller pointed out that the cost
of maintenance has increased, that la
Dor is paid more and the expense of
operating the road has increased so
materially that it is now losing VEN
ture upon its present basis.

Crosse, City Attorney j. E. Higbee,
and others The commission an
nounces that it will hold a hearing at
