Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. Just three days more in which to register if you intend to vote November sth. Unless you have attended to this duty before five o’clock next Monday you are disqualified. The time is slipping rapidly by and you may lose this right if you don’t attend to the registration at once. How any man can make himself believe that he doesn't want to vote this good year of 1918 is beyond the comprehension of tho ordinary person. The campaign this year will necessarily be a short one but it Is quite probable that when it starts it will be snappy. Both sides have been organizing and planning for the election though by agreement itolitics has been adjourned during the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign. The wind up will start in the various counties as soon as the quota has been reached. In the meantime the most important thing next to subscribing «j>r bonds is to see tlmt you are regis‘red. If you live in Adams county you . I » » 111 have a duty to perform right now—and a most important duty it is — you should see that your township meets its quota for the Fourth Liberty Loan. The war is being conducted for your protection as much as your neighbor. You are profiting How and will continue to profit in the future by the protection now being given you by your governmena ami you should not stop until you have ■written "well done" after your name 1 on the records. Though there has been but little political talk during the past weeks, you know that a very important election is to be held in November. Tire man in the shop, on the farm or where ever he is who feels that he owes something to hi.- government will want to voice his sentiment bycasting his vote on that day. Unless , you do you are not. taking advantage of the greatest opportunity given the people of any nation and unless you register you cannot vote. You must attend to this before next MONDAY AFTERNOON AT FIVE O'CLOCK. The man who at this stage of the war casts a slur at his government, ridicules its efforts, gives aid and corn fort to the enemy, prevents or interferes with the sale of bonds or other

i [ government activities, is but paviug the way for the most serious trouble hi> ever had in his life. It’s silly and foolish and wo can’t understand how any man who lives here and owns property can take the position that some have. It ought to, be a glorious task to help your nation when it has been as good to you as lias this one, it is a privilege that conies to but few generations, if you are as broad and big as you ought to be with the opportunity you have had you will hasten to make up for any lack of interest or effort heretofore shown. The Liberty Ix>an campaign is not over. The lug job is to come. The three day volunteer campaign was a success—all that could be and was hoped for. During those three days hundreds, yes thousands of Adams countys splendid citizens offered their money to the government in answer to the call, it was fine, splendid, great—s6oo,ooo,- but we are still short $150,000 and not a township has yet met its quota. This means that a canvass must be made of those who did not subscribe and it means of course a lot of hard work by busy men and women who have many other duties to attend to. You can make that work much easier by meeting i them half way. by joining their ranks < and helping raise the quota. Offer ' your assistance. So tar but a dozen counties in Indiana have met their , allotment and in a number of those much of the work had been done in . advance. Adams <ouny still has the ( opportunity to make a record in the 1 drive. Let’s put it over during the • next week and that means every unit. There is not a one that cannot do it 1 if they will, but the men and women 8 must get busy. It's not a boy’s joo, 1 . t it’s work for those who have the ability and the desire. Come on good people. You will lie proud of your j work in years to come and your fellow citizens wiil be proud of you. [ SOCIETY | Club Calendar Thursday. Euterpean Club —Postponed. 1 Eyer Ready Class—Mrs. Wash Gilpin.

ALLIES SMASH AHEAD ON WIDE FRONT (Continued from Page One) region—became an actuality. Hammered by untiling legions, in- . eluding vast reserves, the German retirement is likely to be extensive, probably as far east as Antwerp. Already the enemy is shifting his U-boat bases out of Belgium and preparing to save whatever he can in the country ruthlessly trampled in 1914. Paris, Oct. 3 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —French forces continue to aivar.' in th': Champa.L. Vesle regions, the. war office announced today. Challerange (a mile and a half east of Menthols) was captured yesterday evening. North of the Rheinis the French took I-oivre. The French attack was resumed at daybreak this morning. London. Oct. 3 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —The Germans are retreating on the 20 mile front between Armentieres and Lens, Field Marshal Haig announced today. They are evacuating highly organized positions which they had held since the beginning of trench warfare. The retirement already has reached a maximum depth of two miles and the British advance is continuing. The Germans have fallen back to the line of Cite St. Auguste, Dauvrin, east of La Bassee, east of Aubers and west of Bois Orenier. The British attack north of St. Quentin was renewed this morning. Amsterdam, Oct. 3—(Special to Daily Democrat) —‘‘Bulgaria has created a grave situation, but it is not critical,” Baron von Hussack, A*c trian premier declared Tuesday, in addressing the reichstag. according to a dispatch from Vienna today. “We have taken steps, which are progressing. On the Balkan front our troops and Germany’s are standing shoulder to shoulder, preserving the firmly knit alliance. “Just as. in battle, we will go hand in hand in the work of peace. The future which humanity is thinking of and longing for cannot be expected from the sword." \Petrograd, Oct. 3—(Special to the DailyDemocrat)—Russians will find a way to win back territory controlled by Germany, President Zinovieff of the Petrograd trade union, promised today. “The Germans must evacuate Pskov," said Zinovieff. “We will find ’ away of retaking all territory Ger-

1 many has so outrageously devoured. „ “There is no reason to notice the i Bresl-Lilovak and other supplemen- . tary treaties which are only of a provisional character.

Oct. 3—(Special to Daily Demo i crat)— The Germans it was further , indicated today are withdrawing from their advanced positions to the Krfem hilde-Stellung line. Their retreat is protected by a strong placed machine gun position in the difficult terrain between their advanced line and their new defenses ’Artillery fighting increased considerably early this morning The weather continues cold and the roads are drying rapidly, improving fighting conditions. (By Webb Miller. United Press Staff Correspondent) Paris, Oct. 3—(Special to Daily Democrat) —While to the man in the street the onward drive of Marshal Foch’s ten armies appears to have slackened somewhat in the last few hours, the facts are that the battle has reached a point where a gain of a few hundred yards is worth more than a gain of miles was seventy-two hours ago. And, yard by yard, the allied armies are clawing their way ahead over | these precious bits of soil, the loss of, which is throwing consternation into 1 the hearts of the Germans. Staws in the wind, pointing to fur-! ther retirement at several points, are multiplying every hour. Many military experts see as imminent the necessity for a general enemy retirement. There is significant activity miles back of the lines in the north, where the Germans are throwing temporary bridges across rivers and canals and mining permanent roads and bridge*. But all along the line the Germans are fighting with the fury of despair in an attempt to stave off the penetration of Foch’s wedges into the most vital spots of the enemy defenses. General von Ludendorff is worrying most over the steady advance of King Albert and General Plumar in Belbium. The network of Belgian railways is swarming with troop trains, rushing up every division the, high command can scrape from the depleted depots, in an effort to halt the Belgians and British on the Flanders and British plains. In the region of Cambrai and St. j Quentin, the allied armies are about to gather the fruits of their advance | The fall of these cities will largely have an important re percussion far-, ther north. London, Oct. 3—(Special to Daily Democrat)— Turkey has notified Germany that she intends to propose peace to the allies, a Zurich dispatch to Daily News declares. Germany is Said to have replied at some length,, partly in a menacing and partly in a pleading tone. Turkey’s decision is believed imminent. The dispatch further says that Germany has declared >»<*»•. frrt'TffMrJ of occupying Bulgaria, militarily. A Central News dispatch from Paris states on the contrary that tho Turkish ministerial council has decided to maintain the alliance with Germanv and Austria-Hungary. « Paris. Oct. 3 —(10:15 a. m.) —General Debeney attacking c.n the 15mile front between St. Quentin and La Fere, is nearing Berthenicourt (on the Oise, five miles southeast of St. Quentin and is rapidly outflanking La Fere. The latter town is the northern outpost of the great St. Gobain massif. Between the Vesle. the Aisne and the Aisne-Marne canal. General Berthelet has cleaned out all the Germans except in a small area south of Berry au Bac (on the north bank of the Aisne. 11 miles northwest ct Rheims) where’ French advanced elements are progressing. With the Americans West of Verdun. Oct. 3 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —In the tangle of underbrush which spreads over the Argonne region like a thick carpet, it is impossible to locate sofne enemy machine guns except by drawing their fire.
