A RESUME OF WAH NEWS.
From AU Fronts New? I? Uniformly
iii Entente Allies' Favor. ,
Disaster appears to bo overtaking j
the annies of the Teutonic allies on j
all Heids.
In Palestine the Turks are all but
absolutely crushed; in Macedonia the
entente forces are harassing the en??
erny forces and threatening thom
with similar disaster; in France the
British and French troops slowly
but surely are eating their way into
the vitals of the -German defensive
positions, the collapse of which would
result in important changes all along,
the western battle front, and in East-'
ern Siberia the Japanese have made
additional strides forward in tho
process of reclaiming that territory
for the Russians.
In all the theaters of the war the
Entente allies have the initiative in
their hands and are pressing their
advantage vigorously. The Germans
and their allies nowhere are ablo to
do more than stand on their defen
sive. And in Palestine and Macedo
nia their efforts in this respect have
proved sorry ones.
Virtually Annihilated.
From north of Jerusalem to the
Sea of Galilee, in the territory lying
between the River Jordan and the
Mediterranean Sea, the Ottoman
forces have been caught by the swift
drive of the British armies apd vir
tually annihilated. Added to the
heavy casualties suffered by the
Turks, hordes of them were made
prisoners and many more are wan
dering, bewildered, without leaders,
in the hills, eventually to be brought
in to swell the great total. At last
accounts more than 25,000 of Ohe
Sultan's soldiers and 260 guns and
large quantities of war stores were
in British hands.
To add to the demoralization of
the Turkish morale allied aviators
are carrying out successful bombing
raids against Constantinople.
Assailing Bulgare.
Over a front of 80 miles in .South
ern Serbia, from 'Monastlr to Lake
Doiran, tho entente troopps are vig
orously assailing the Bulgarians end'
the Germans. Already in tho- swl?
drive a great spearhead* ha? beew
-push eft*'by tl?eTSerblans"'v ??rMs~'lhe'
Uskub-Prllep road, severing commu
nication between the Bulgarian army
northeast of Monastlr and that in the
Dake Doiran region. Unofficial re
norts aro to the effect that the Serbs
nave taken between 9,000 and 10,
prisoners and 120 guns.
In Full Retreat.
In the region between Monastlr
and the Vardar the enemy troops are
in full retreat before the Italians,
French and Serbians, while west of
Doiran tho British are steadily ham
mering their way forward, driving
the enemy northward toward the Bul
garian frontier. Already tho enemy
line from Doiran to a point west of
the Vardar has been ovacuated. This
force of the enemy, with the railroad
to the north severed, seemingly is In
danger of an enveloping movement
unless it turns sharply eastward and
presses into Bulgaria through the
mountains.
Operations In France.
Not so spectacular but of vital Im
portance hnvo been the operations of
the French and British from tho
south of St . Quentin to Cambrai.
Both tho French Gen. Debenoy and
Field 'Marshal Haig have won highly
essential ground In tho manouvres
which have as their objectives the
obliteration of tho Hindenburg line,
the capture of St. Quentin and tho
turning or tho German line at Laon.
South of St. Quentin the French have
advanced their lino to tho west hank
of the Oise canal over a front of three
miles and now completely outflnnk
St. Quentin on thc south and La
Fore on tho north. Meanwhile Field
Marshal Haig, north of St. Quentin,
around the village of Epehy, has
taken strong positions from the en
emy.
in Eastern Siberia the Japanese
have captured Blagoviestchensk, cap
ital of tho province of Amur, and
also tho town of Alexlsvsk. Two
thousand Austro-'Oerman troops sur
rendered.
Picking Pi lco Fixed in Pieken?.
Sam B. Craig, Food Administrator
for Pickons county, has issued tho
following:
"Tho administration has carefully
considered the shortage of labor
which prevails throughout the coun
try as a result of tho war, and real
izing that this is tito main season for
harvesting tho crops and nicking cot
?on, hcib decided that the maximum

PIXING PRICE OF COTTON.
Local Committee Wires President mid
Others-Senator Smith's Reply.
The following telegram was sent
last Saturday to President Wilson,
Senator E. D. Smith, Senator Chris
tie Benet, and "Governor Manning:
Walhalla, 8. C., Sept. 21, 1918.
We read with dismay in morning
papers price of cotton may bo fixed
around 2 5 cents. This price would
be disastrous to the South, especially
our section, where not exceeding a
'half crop has been made, and would
greatly hamper if not spoil failure
of campaigns for all war activity
funds. While we do not oppose price
fixing, min inm m. au roly should not
.bo le^'rmn''^^6nt'B,; W1 ttl lfittxirrtTTm
of 40 cents. In Third Liberty Loan
campaign our farmers subscribed
liberally, with expectation of paying
for bonds this fall, but will bo una
ble to do so unless cotton soils
around 36 cents. With less than this
range of price production will cease
here next year.

i ii t oi t una to Domestic Trouble.
The Anderson Tribune of Septem
ber 17 carried the story printed be
low concerning parties residing at
Westminster. For the reason that
we felt sure that there was a mis
take in the announcement, and we
were unable to confirm the report,
wo refrained from using tho nrtlclo
last week. The error consists in the
initials of Mr. Singleton. Tho "J. F.
Singleton" should be "J. E. Single
ton," the balance of the report being
correct as far as we are able to ascer
tain. Tho notice ls as follows:
"Policomnn John W. Brown was
called to a local hotel last night.
When ho arrived, according to Infor
mation furnished tho Tribune man
by tho 'hotel proprietor, ho was told
that he was called for the purpose of
being a witness at a divorce suit that
would follow. Tho officer was called
by J. F. Singleton, said to be a prom
inent citizen of Westminster. From
t)*e story given out, Mr. Singleton
:iad suspicioned his wife and a trav
eling man by tho name of W. A. Shel
ton, of Richmond, Va. Mrs. Single
ton had left homo Sunday afternoon
and carno to Anderson. Mr. Single
ton followed. He found Mrs. Single
ton registered at a local ho* el. Ho
found tho man ho suspici: ,.uU had
also registered. In tho company of
tho officer and tho proprietor tho
room of Mr. Shelton was visited. He
wau not in. Chairs wero secured and
all three gentlemen i eoped over the
transom to tho door of tho room oc
cupied by Mrs. Singh* .on-and they
were rewarded for their trouble by
seeing Mrs. Singleton and Shelton
asleep. Mr. Singleton requested Offi
cer Brown not to make an arrost.
"Positive proof of her unfaithfulness
was all I wanted," Mr. Singleton is
said to nave remarked, as he walked
down to tho hotel office, registered,
secured a room and supposedly wont
to. bed and to sleep.
"Mrs. Singleton is said to bo about
25 years of age and very pretty."
