American troops of the 1st Army, in a new advance along the west hank of the Meuse River, have captured the town of Aincreville and established themselves in the north ol it on a series of hills and natural positions which dominate the coountry for miles. Offer Little Opposition. Aincreville was taken with only little opposition, the resistance being principally from machine guns. Gen. Pershing's forces also improved their positions at the extreme loft, in the region of Grandpre. Bellejoyoeuse Farm is now virtually within the American lines. german^oiTlast stand in france Paris.?a battle which is believed here to be a decisive one is now going on. It is being waged in two sections. In the north the blow delivered by the British armies ot Generals Horn, Byng and Rawlinson and by the French under General Dc ix ncy is a threat levelled at one >1 the * flanks of the'vast pocket formed b> the German lines from Holland U Metz. The object of this offensive Is to drive dangerous wedges either north of the Sombre, in the direction of Moiis, or south of the river in the direction of Avesnes and Maubege. The result may be a widespread retreat of the German armies in Belgium, or those still between the Oise and the Aisne. Excellent results have been real: i r?

It seems to be uncertain as to when the class from 26 t< j 4'f) inclusive wlil be called out fo.' [ military service. It is understoo' that the great majority of that clasj will be deferred on one claim or tin other as the greater portion of then are married and have wives and chil dren dependent upon them. One ar ticle in the daily papers stated tha these would be called on or aftei January 1st, 1919, while another new; item stated that Secretary Baker ha( not said anything of that kind, an< that they might not be called befon next spring or summer. In the meantime, signs of peace an multiplying in due proportion to tlv breaking up and crumbling of th central powers, and in case peae comes about before the end of th year the men in this older class of lat registrants may not get to fighl Others may be called and spend som time in the training camps but neve get to fight any. o WATCH THE LABEL.

They accomplish complete surrender and open Austrian and Hungarian territory for American and Allied operations against Germany.

NO. 29. AMERICANS SWEEP GERMAN LINE BACK First Army Driving Enemy Back Along the Meuse River 4.000 PRISOMERS TAKEN IN ONE DAY Villages Qaptured and Dominating Heights Occupied by Guns. | With the American Army Northwest of Verdun, Sunday, Nov. 3.? Move than four thousand prisoners wore captured by the Americans in > this sector today. The number of | guns and other boot.vis steadily I growing. The right flank of the I American line is now at IIalios on tlie heights overlooking- the Mouse river. v; ' American troops at f> o'clock this evening had advanced their loft flank north of Authc, in close coopv ration with the French forces which hn**C been fighting their way eastward on the bend in the Aisne river. Further east, American forces were 'i' Autru die and their patrols wore reported as far north as Brioullcssu r-Bar. In the center of the line the village of Fosse was passed early in the day and then in quick succession Barricourt Nouart, Le Champy, Haute and Le Chanipy Bas were occcupied by the Americans. The advance of General Pershing's troops has reached the little lake in the center of Bel-val wood. On the extreme right the Americans were north of Montigny Devant-Sassy. From there the line ran to the Meuse river. East of the Meuse from north of Romonvillc where the roads are choked with retreating Germans, to north of Stonay, on the bank of the river, where the railway yards arc filled with troop trains leaving for the rear, the Germans are falling hack (from Romonvillc to Stenav is about 8 1-2 miles). The artillery i'iro from the hills behind the German lines seems to indicate the reluctance of those in command to yield to the evident desire of the men in the line to withdraw. The American losses so far have been, astonishingly light compared with the size of the operation. Scores of small fights took place in the woods and ravines between enemy machine guns crews and the advancing Americans. Throughout the day the American artillery heavily bombarded the German lines along the entire front. ON SHORT LEAVE. W. B. Capps, who is now filling- a very responsible position with the Government in the cnstruction works at Charleston, S. C., arrived here on a short leave of absence last | Friday and returned to Charleston (last Sunday after spending the short J interval visiting his mother and broth | er near Jordanville. This is the first i time Mr. Capps has been away from his desk in a number of months. In his department in Charleston he has to keep four or five stenographers i busy and his office is full of bousiness all the time, on Sundays as well as on other days of the week. His work is connected with the construe1 tion of the great warehouses at Char| leston, which are built in fire proof | sections, also the embarkation wharves where hundreds of thousands of American mules and horses are loaded for shipment. Several of thf? large warehouses 1200 feet long have I been completed and carload after car load of supplies are being stored in them. o PLENTY OF FISH. Capt. G. E.
