GERMANS FIRE LAON
 BEFORE RETIREMENT
Enemy On Retreat Between Suippe and Arnes
 Rivers.

Paris. Oct 7.-Laon, the stronghold to which the enemy has been clinging as the key point of his line on the southwest, apparently has been set on fire by the Germans. The town was reported ablaze yesterday and fires were still Burning there today
 Rheims has been finally and definite 1y cleared from the menace of German cannon. The Germans are in retreat on the whole front from the Suippe to the Arnes, as we'll as in the region south of Cambrai.
 In the first named sector the Allies have reached the Arnes river on which the enemy hoped to make a stand. In the second region the British Fourth army has crushed counter-attacks which the enemy delivered in an effort to prevent it's progress toward BOhain and cover their retreat to the south.
 These two movements of retreat form a part of a plan which was to have brought the German armies to new lines of resistance much nearer the fonties it appears, but the constant pressure of the Allied troops is making the execution of the plan most diff cult and hazardous.

WOOD FOR FUEL.
Chamber Of Commerce May Deal In
 Substitute for Coal.

A special committee of the Cham Der of Commerce to be known as the Wood for Fuel committee has been appointed and will hold it's first meet ing at 4:30 tomorrow The committee is headed by E. o. Kilbourne and has been named to look into the possibili- ties of the substitution of wood for coal during the coming winter. The committee will make an investigation of this locality and determine how much wood can be secured nearby and also report on the facilities for transporting wood to this city if it is found that the substitution can be made prOt1tably
 Several plans have been suggested to be acted upon by the committee but the one which seems to meet with their favor is a move to have the com nittee purchase several hundred cords of wood to be sold later to any who wish to experiment with wood for fuel. 1t is probable the committee will conduct a campaign in the near future for the purpose of furthering the use of wood in place of coal.
 Thursday evening at o'clock a meeting of all the grocers of the city will be held in the Chamber of Com- merce rooms.

SENATE LEADERS CONDEMN
 APPEAL FOR AN ARMISTICE
Absolutely Abhorrent', Says Hichcock-'Would Mean Loss of War, Lodge De- clares, Urging Military Victory.

Washington, Oct. 7.-Discussing Germany's peace offer in the senate today, Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, chairman of the foreign relations committee, declared absolutely ab- horrent" even a thought of suspen- sion of hostilities now and recom- mended the addition to the principles previously laid down by the president that the Allies would deal only with real representatives of the German people.
 Republican leader Lodge ranking minority member of the foreign re- lations committee, declared an armis- tice "wouId mean the loss of the war and all we have fought for.'' -r-'.
 Germany, he said, merely proposes a long debate on the basis of peace.
 The only future course, Senator Lodge emphaticaIly declared, is to secure a complete military yiCsory over Germany and force her to sue for peace.
 Senator Poindexter of Washington, republican, declared the proposal for an drmlSuCC most lnSlulOuS danger"
 When Senator Poindexter declared an armistice would mean the end of all military action and, if accom- panied only by enemy evacuation of Belgium and France, would be 8 vic- tory for Germany, Senator Hitchcock earnestly pointed out that the Ger man offer also provides for accep- tance of the 14 terms laid down by the president in his address of Jan uary s.
 Acceptance of Germany's offer only upon evacuation of Belgium and France, Senator Hitchcock said, would be preposterous but he declared restoration of A1sace-Lorraine to France and as well as reparation for Belgium and France, are among the presidents terms which Germany proposes to accept.
 Senator PoindeXtcr said the senate foreign relations committee should seek consultation on any negotiations entered into by the government and the country should be warned against the insidiousness of published sug- gestions that an armistice should be agreed to upon withdrawal of Ger many from occupied territory
 Senator McCumbe of North Da- kota announced that he had prepared a resolution designed to insure pres ervation of the functions of the sen- ate.

NEGROES IN THE LEAD
Patriotism Can't Be Measured
BY Color. Here's Proof.

Birmingham, Ala.-Ever since it
was town the people of Cullman,
about forty miles north of Bir-
mingham, with a present popula-
tion Of some 1000, refused to per-
nit Negroes to live within its linn
its. 1t never had a Negro resident
and the black man has been strict
ly prohibited from appearing
within its borders after dark. The
town is largely populated by peo-
pie Of German descent, though no
question has arisen as to their 10y
atty to the United States since this
country's entrance into the war.
Cullman became rich from
trucking and fruit culture. 1t
shipped more products of this
kind than any other town of its
size in the south and became fam
Gus for this industry But the Ne
groes of a part of Cullman county,
who were prohibited from living
or staying III the town, have put
one over on their white exclusives
in loyalty by a higher record in
the purchase of War Savings
stamps.
During the recent drive Gull
man county failed to reach its
quota. The amount subscribed in
the county so far is about $151,-
600. The sum allotted was $644,
$50. The only Negro community
in the county was set apart as a
separate district with a Negro
chairman. This district has al
ready subscribed 81 $40, which is
$40 more than its quota, and has
gone out to double this amount
before next January, with every
prospect of success. This record
is regarded as a feather III the cap
Of the Negroes in the only com

the black man is not permitted to
live.
