AHEAD OF ALLIES Late accounts say that Austria's armies, shattered by the blows of the Italians, British and French are fleeing pell mell on a front of more than 100 miles, from the Brents river ea.^l and south to the Adriatic. Apparently the enemy has lost all -r T I'AcIof onen 11 1 V?n im |;un ci w i i i nioic4iivv wn vnv tant sectors of the front. Countless numbers of prisoners are being taken by the Allies. Field Marshal Haig has again taken up offensive operations on the front south of Valenciennes and reports his troops as making good progress early Friday. On the French front and on the American sectors east and west of the Meuse only the artillery has been active. East of the Piave all the Allied armies are marching rapidly toward the Tagliamento in pursuit of the Austrians. The Livenza river, fifteen miles cast of the Piave and eighteen miles from the Tagliamento, has been reached and crossed, while to the south along the lowlands north of the Adriatic, the Italian third army continues to ' move ahead. o The town or St. Quentin was entered by the French. 6 STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST TO ALL SOUTH CAROLINA PEOPLE Men with mechanical or electrical experience are most desired for aviation or balloon piloting.

RADICALS INSSST ^ I KAISER ABDICATE Editor Asserts Crown Prince Would he as Bad and Wants"- f a Substitute. Many Socialist newspapers in Germany are Memanding the abdication of the Kaiser. Most of these papers a re prevented from leaving the country, but the Broslau Volkswacht of ^ Oct. IG, says: "The Kaiser ought to abdicate, and not in favor of his son. That would arrange nothing. Furthermore, such * matters may be further advanced than it is realized." Also the Frankische Tageblatt of /< Nu rem burg, a moderate Socialist paper, pays: "A national defense against Prcsidet Wilson's demands is impossible, because the army and the nation will assume that the last heroic efforts are demanded, not for saving the country, but for safe-guarding the throne of William II. However little the Republican Germans may like the prospect of the Emperor being dethroned by foreign powers, yet the monarchists themselves are not inclined to enter upon a hopeless light, costing hundreds o f thousands of lives more, and involving the devastation of German soil similar to North France, all to preserve William in the fullness of his power. "William had stood otherwise liefore history, had he, like Charles V., renounced his power instead of being forced to lay down his crown and Marshal's staff and enter private life at President Wilson's .behest. / "Had he sacrificed himself for the people and better peace conditions a fortnight ago, he had left the throne with his opponents', even the Social Democrats', gratitude.
