Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. We know men who are not worth a dollar, who walked up and bought Liberty Loan Bonds equal in amount to some men worth titty thousand dollars or more. Do you think that’s fair ? It you didn't do your part in the volunteer drive, it's even money that you don't feel just right about it. It’s a matter largely between you and your conscience and the only way you can fix it is to come across now We must raise the balance of our quota—slso,ooo—and it’s a big jol>. You can still prove your worth by aiding in this work. You are needed and you ought to do everything you can. Nothing else counts now but winning the war and the way to do it is to help put over this Fourth Liberty Loan drive successfully. 9gSßS^ *= | You have just four .days in which to register if you intend to vote ,‘n November. Unless you have attend- ; ed to this duty by next Monday after- i noon at five o’clock, it will be too 1 late and you will have disqualified 1 yourself. As an American citizen you 1 have a right to your opinion on ~.i- ' tioual questions and you oughL :o ' have interest enough in a county ' which gives you that right to want 1 to vote. The man who doesn't is :l asleep io the fact that he is living in 1 the greatest age since the beginning 1 of time. REGISTER BEFORE MON- *1 Day AFTERNOON AT FIVE n O'CLOCK. 11 ——» w There are in Adams county a number who perhaps not openly but at § least by their lack of interest and as- | Sihiaffcc ' nave Himic Tuoi'i- ufifli the work of meeting our quota for the k Liberty Loan. Others have in three previous drives and in the many war activities given unsparingly of their time and ability and money for wliat? k Why that your property and your rights may lie protected. Can't you see t!ie light? Can’t you see that it * is your interest as much as theirs? Won’t you start today to make up for lost time? If every person in the c county would do —just his part—it would be easy to meet any demand. ========= 1 One man refused to buy Liberty IjOan 1 Kinds, with the remark that he felt he had done enough.

they feel that way. Suppose they should lay down on the job with the excuse that they feel they have done enough. What do you think would happen at this critical inuuient when the enemy Is all but whipped, when the great war that ftr nearly five years has torn the world is just ready to break? No one either here or at the frqut can afford to take such a position. Renewed efforts are needed here and every good citizen will gladly give Unit effort. ====== We must raise $150D0« more in this county, a big job and a hard one, bnt the men and women of each township ran make it much easier if they will get under the load and help lift., it's your task and you should meet it. Os course it’s hard and of course (lie work falls largely upon those who have given liberally of their time and their money but it’s a part of the cost of making the world a safe place in which to live and in the days to come you who deserve credit will be proud indeed of your record during this month whan the best ability of the best patriots is needed. You are doing the work meant for you and you should keep on doing it bravely ami tirelessly. The surrender of Bulgaria, the proposals from Turkey, the disturbances in Austria-Hungary and Germany all indicate that the final chapters in the great war are now being written but do not be misled. Tae final blow-up may come at any hour but the Central Powers are keenly i watching for an opportunity to turn the game to their advantage and they would seize upon one quickly should l it appear. We must drive on through St. Quentin, force the enemy back 1 into their own territory, keep up the light until the kaiser and his advis- ' ors have lieen completely beaten. To do less than that now would be io waste every life and every effort in- < vested up to tills time. To do that 1 we must keep on backing the govern- 1 nient and the boys with our money ‘ and our words of cheer. Adams coun- ( ty must more than meet her quota , for the Fourth Liberty laian and the < quicker we do it the better we wil 1 be supporting the greatest government in the world. Enlist today as a' worker. 3: :r: ’.r: :r: u:r:n::nr.n::R: wißUiaMon |SO(M^TV ;;r: si Club Calendar It Wednesday. Concord Aid —Mrs. Sherman Kunkel.

CAMBRAI BELIEVED j 10 HAVE FALLEN (Continued from Page One) 1 Chancellor von Herding, we will discuss today with the loaders of the 1 I>arties the best way to attain the kaiser's goal, full recognition of the wishes of the German people,” Vice , Chancellor von Payer declared. In addressing tho muin committee of the relchstug Monday. ”1 ani confident we will find the solution of this matter, which is of the highest importance for the future of the fatherland.” Paris Oct. 2 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —General Bethelot’s army has made more progress west of Rheims. capturing two additional villages and completing lhe conquest of the St. Thierry plateau, the French war office announced today. At St. Quentin, the. Germans continue to hold the south banks of tho canal. Paris. Oct. 2—(Special to Daily Democrat)— Using ten armies as great crowbars. Marshal Foch is relentlessly prying off the pillars of the German front. At 15 distinct points the crowbars , have stabbed deep into vital places in the enemy lines, and are being shoved home. At least four of the pillars—Roulers Menin. Cambrai and St. Quentin — i are tottering, while tho menace to ( the others is looming larger every . hour. i The points of Foch’s crowbars are i ten to fifteen miles in width at some I points and at others they are only a few thousand feet. Among the most ( important results of the advances in the north are the menaces to con- ] centration centers and disorganizetion of the Germans lateral eomrnun- ] ication lines. Possibly the most in- ( terasting moement under way is be- ( tween the north sea aud Lille where , King Albert and General Plumer are pushing on with wonderful success, which is highly dangerous to the Gormans because unless it is stopped it • will mean the fall of Ostend and Zee- 1 brugge. I Amsterdam. Oct. 2 —(Special to the , Daily Democrat) —Plans for the evac- t nation of Belgium, if necessary, have : already been prepared, according to * Baron von Falkenhausen, military governor of Belgium, press dispatches received here today reported. 1 In conversation with a leading Dutch- ‘ man at the Hague, von Falkenhausen 1 was quoted at saying: “Plans are ready for eaily evacuation of Belgium, if necessary. The 1 German army can return to its own 1 frontier in order to show the world ; we really want to defend Germany.” The Dutch arc said to be strengthening tt.CC: frontier to pre- 1 vent violations of their neutrality by the retreating Germans. Washington, D. C., Oct. 2 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —With Turkey maneuvering for an armistke on the best available terms, Germany is evidently preparing two extensive moves —one a peace offensive, the other a grand scale retirement in the west. Rome. Oct. 2—(Special to Daily Democrat) —A general flight of Germans and Austrians from Sofia and Constantinople has begun, according to advices received here from Swiss sources today. London. Oct. 2—(Special to Daily Democrat)—The Germans have been driven from Crevecouer and Rumilly, Field Marshal Haig announced today. The British have occupied the high ground to the east of thoso places. With the Americans West of Verdun, Oct. 2—(Special to Daily Democrat)—While activity in the remainder of the line is confined to repulsing bitter counter-attacks and consolidating newly-won positions, the Americans in the depth of the Argonne forest are shoving forward somewhat today. Overcoming almost insurmountable obstacles they are rectifying their line. The density of the forest renders liason most difficult, but each group goes forward as rapidly as possible, maintaining communications : with the aid of runners. Copenhagen, Oct. 2--(Special to Daily Democrat)— Four German tort pedo boats whose crews mutinied and attempted to take them out of harbor during August were pursued by cruisers and sunk, according to information received here today. The occurrence is said to have been confinned by the washing ashore of 160 I bodies. .

London, Oct. 2—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Metz-Sablons has again been bombed by the British independent air forces in conjunction with the American operations, it was announced today. Burbach was also attacked. One British machine failed toreturn. With the American Army in France, Oct. 2—(Special to Daily Democrat) —During the month of September, tbe first American pursuit group of airplanes won more than seventy victories, averaging two bodies for every three pilots in the squadron. Only four pilots were lost. This is a world's record. o — FOR THE BOYS IN KHAKI Uncle Sam is calling for more doctors. The ntedicai profession his been urged to send more physicians to the army. Many fighters for democracy are dying for want of pro|>er treatment and yet the medical men are apathetic, nay more, they have formed such a plutocratic organization that none but those having an M. D. degree are commissioned. Osteopaths with the same educational qualifications are prohibited simply because Dr. Gorges, surgeon general of the army, is an M. D. Many Osteopaths have passed the examination for a commission aud have, been recommended by the examining Itoards but when it comes to the medical department and they are without the M. D they are refused a commisslor Thk is the n»»' undemocratic of all departments. A chaplain receives his commission regardless of what denomination he rep resents just so he possess the required educational te-d. This is not only an injustice to the osteopaths but to the American soldier. No difference who kind of treatment he desires or needs he must take what the Amer-

There have been almost 5,000 deaths by pneumonia in the Arneri--1 can army but in spite of the medics utter helplessness in conquering not only pneumonia but Spanish influenza. shell shock, traumatic neuritis and dysentery the American Medical Association makes It compulsory to submit to their treatment. Osteo- . paths have proven what they can do in pneumonia and typhoid fever and 1 challenged the A. M. A. to put it to ' a test with them but the challenge was never accepted. Osteopathic physicians have formed three base hospital units and many individual osteopaths have volunteered their services but are being consistently refused. Many of the boys in khaki have asked for osteopathic treatments but have been refused unless it so happened that there was an osteopath in the ranks. This is not consistent with American democracy.
