All UOSIS.
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:

The second section of the attack
is being: conducted by Generals Gour

is the great strategic offensive
which the Germans have always
feared.
BOARD MAILING OUT
MORE QUESTIONNAIRES
The Local Exemption Hoard started
last week mailing out Questionnaires
to the class of registrants of Scptcm
her 12th, 1918, ages from 26 to 4."
inclusive, and lawyers and Notarie.
are already getting busy in filling oir
this last lot of Questionnaires for th<
registrants. 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.

ANOTHER DESERTER
WAS TAKEN BACK
Military police from Camp came
here early this week after a boy
who had deserted from Camp Jackson.
The authorities could not tell
positively who the boy was for the
reason that he had given his name
in many ways. It is said that his
name was Lovell and that he went
to the army from this section. H.^
was arrested above Uoardman, N.

the one aimed at, but he was not

not going fast until the shooting

|
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.
