Ill I IIVW I L.UVUI 1 I IV/ I1UMI1 11 All Germany Is Coming Where There is Plenty to Eat," Says One. i " A special war correspondent "somewhere" in France, writes of the war as it was waging last week. He says that the battle which has been general along the most of the British front for the last eleven lays developed into a struggle of great mi portance before Arras. (Ion Home's 1st Army attacked the DrocourtQueant switch line of the Hindenburg line and ploughed its way through that formidable defensive system. Tnousands of prisoner^ were captured. More Men Are Ready. The whole country is alive with troops awaiting the word to go forward, and it caused a thrill of excitement to sec long lines of artillery limbers, whirled along at a r? pid rate through dust clouds, carry still further forward the guns that an hour before had been well up against the enemy's lines. Tanks, followed by infantry, attacked at 5 o'clock this morning, following an intense barrage. On the extreme southern end of the line a part of (Ion. Rawlinson's 4th Army also attacked, and at last accounts it was progressing well. Along the rest of the front there is continuous pressure on the Germans. This includes the Lys salient, where American troops operating with the British have pressed on behind the retiring Boche and added a number of villages to the long roster of those reclaimed in the last few days. The enemy here is evidently going back to the Messines-Wytschaete Ridge. From a point just in front of the old Hindenburg line, 1 had a good view of the battlefield south of the Scarpe. I saw hundreds of prisoners trickling back to the cages. They were in excellent spirits with no downcast faces to be seen among them. Many looked back to see whore the British guns were smashing a way through the German wire entanglements or pounding the rea. com m indications. Throws in Reserves. The desperate efforts of the eiv my to maintain intact the DrocourtQueant defensive system was shown by his rushing up reserves yesterday. In one prison cage 1 saw men from four different divisions. One divisi n had travelled seventy-three miles hy villi i?AnoV>!nii? 1 h? ^ / .! '?? i* i c? i i , i v civ hi V?I I n l/W i \ * .hi J c*. #> * and was placed in the line last night. The enemy's fear of the4 impe nding attack, with its possible consequences to Douai and Cambrai, caused him to ! shell heavily the sector where the battle broke out. This morning was auspicious for battle. From a hilltop I witnessed shell bursts from the big guns belching yellow flame from the valleys and hillsides roundabout, and the spasmodic retaliation of the enemy's guns firing from long range, particularly at points from which he had been ousted during the last few days. Ho specially fovored Monchy-lePreux and the Rois Duvort, and the black smoke of his bursting shells bung in the air until whipped away i by the autumn-like wind. Prisoners Unescorted. I could see prisoners, uno corted, :oming across the country pitte i with shell holes, well content to 1>? j jut of the war. In fact, one pri - nor <aid that the war would he over soon ind that he wanted to be alive when j ooace came. Some of the prisoners were kept >usy carrying their own wounded >r bearing stretchers on which lay smiling Canadians or British Tommies, who frequently shared cigarettes with wounded Germans. And orries and ambulances whizzed oft ,o the rear, loaded with slightly .vounded Huns and some of their dightly wounded captors. Pas. ing them at a slower nace vent the biff Clydesdale horses hitchHi to "heavies," which soon began to ack the air with thunderous roars a cilometre or so further on. Airmen are Active.

The 192d Infantry received 1 Of) pints of wine and 27 pounds of choc-1 elate for a recent display of bravery. Its apportionment is one-half | iitrc of wine and five ounces of chocolate per man, but it only issued individually once. In all this stilling war panorama to-day a captured German messenj ger dog could not be overlooked. 1 .saw him near tne divisional prisoners' compound finishing* a can of bully beef which a tender-hearted llritish stall' officer found for him, and which was augmented by two big* bones, which he picked clean. o HUN TREACHERY. With the American Army in France, Sept. 11th.?Grim-faced, begrimed and stained after several days of desperate, continuous battle, a platoon of Marines was firing rapidly but calmly and accurately at the Hun ranks. The foe's numbers were in the majority but the Sea Soldiers' fire was , proving speedily evening. Suddenly the Huns dropped their rifles and cried "Kamerad." The Marines waited for the sur. rendering enemy to approach. When the Joe came within 200 yards their first lines (1 roped. They had been dragging machine gunns by ropes attached to their belts. About 20 Marines fell before their comrades with a yell of rage and revenge surged forward. The bayonet let not a Hun survive. 1 This is another example of Teuton treachery. It is told by an officer and two members of the platoon now in a hospital. o George Washington's Title. Did Oenernl Washington over receive e. title from the French government?

B < - (TT WOOD NOW AND SAVE COAL THIS WINTER I Clemson College, S. C.?The coul' shortage makes a patriotic duty ot* people who live on the farms an.I in the rural communities to burn wood insteat of coal this winter. Farmers and timber owners should see that there is a supply of wood cut now for use during the coming winter. Those who do this will not only : id materially in winning the war, but will, at the same time, secure a good r> 1*1 CCl frt?? ? 1 - - - > r..vv tvi wivii aui pius wood. Particular emphasis should be placed at this time upon the kind of trees to cut for wood. Fire wood i should be regarded as a by-product of the farm forest. The wooded lands of the farms should be handle 1 in such a manner as to yield timber that is needed on the farm and lum- j ber that can be sold at a profit. Noi tree should be cut for wood that ca ? I be utilized for posts, poles, ties or ; lumber. Straight, thrifty trees that have sufficient room to develop int "? I . large valuable timber should not he J r i vuu iui wuud. w arn you go mt > the woods to cut wood, pick out the crooked, hard-sided trees and th weak trees where the stand is to > thick. An abundance of wood can be obtained in this way. and a the same time the forests will be improved. There should be from four to eight thousand seedlings on an acre of land when the trees are small. The number should be gradually diminished by thinning until at the time of maturity only two or three hundred trees should remain. Let us keep these points in mind and help win the war and at the same time im- , prove our forests by cutting th crooked and hard-sided trees for wood. MUST SPEED DRAFT SAYS SEN. GROWDER Washington. ? Provost Marshal General Crowder said today that the national selective service machinery must speed up operation immediately to make it possible to get men from the new 18 to 45 registration o\ the way to army cantonments before the end of October. General Crowder said questionnaires would go out to registrants before the drawing has been conducted to determine their order of call and that local boards would be urged to commence classification immediately. Questions relating to the ! order of call and to the time o'" drawing, General Crowder set aside in discussing the subject, leaving only the intimation that these would be annonunced shortly. "The necessity of filling the October requisitions whether in part or in whole, out of the effectives to be obtained under the new regulations," Gen. Crowder said, after explaining that a few class one men from August 24 registration would be avail- i able to fill the October calls, "makes r. necessary to look forward to substantial speeding up in the work of ' the local board at that stage of the operation. It is imperative that th work cf the hoards proceed much faster than a year ago." We Know. Pollock preached the funeral, Ih net sang the hymn. Dial dug the grave, The voters put him in.

Paris. ? General Mangni's army has been busily engaged in the last three days overcoming bitter resistance by the Germans to its advance in the southern area of the batt'e fiont. His forces have marked time in some distances and at other points retreated slightly, but they have succeeded in getting the hotter of the enemy's defense and have resumed their slow, but sure, advanc \ Their forward push is threatening the important town of Couov-lo-Chateau am! its- fa!! is hourly expected lean and 'ts fall is hourly expected. The (iermans, howevor, are resisting the forward movement to tho best of their ability, as the fall of the forest of St. (lob; in, which the advance is threatening would entail a retreat of General von Boehn's armies to L; on. A rupture of the Hin1 denburg lino in tho south would thus be effected, and as the line already has been smashed in the north by British troops, a withdrawal of the i whole German front from the North Sea to Rheims would then bo forced. The Paris military critics today treat mainly of the threatening 1 breach in the Hindenburg line in tin* ! north, pointing out that the enemy | now is forced to forego the use of ! prepared artificial defenses and fall back on the nautral obstacles which the writers argue are the only hope of the German command in the present state of disorganization aI mong its divisions.
