WASTTTXrTTON, Sept 21.—Cermany oan be beaten with the groat allied campaign of the summer of 1919—but before then there Is no prospect of a proper ending of the war.

This was the hope and warning held out to the American peopio today by Food Administrator Iloovcr. "1 believe," he said "we can bring this dreadful business to an end, if every man, woman and child in the United States teste every action and •very day and hour toy the one touchstone—does this or that contribute to krln the war?" be I To attain *sid, there must be accomplished}

Must Use Less Food..

Every/family In the United States hnust Study its food budget to see if it cannot buy less, serve less, return soothing to the kitchen and practice the prospel of the clean plate."

If all this is done and the war ends pa 1919, says Hoover, *we will save :ja million American lives that would be expended i| %e have to continue until ^921."

Hoover's forecast ws« called forth •At the launching of hia food program Ifor the American people during the |coming year. "While wq. «xp»ct the pobiMon tm

The Pall Mall Gazette sayqjr -. "General Allen by's attack lai Palestine has in its opening phase been as thoroughly successfull as any operation could well be and opens promise of a really striking victory. The Turks are stubborn fighters, but their army at Schechem (30 miles north of Jerusalem.) Is in a trap from which it looks like being extremely difficult to escape.*

FIGHT ON FIVE FRONTS.

Allied Troops of Seven Nations .19 Widespread Operations. LONDON, Sept. 21.—Allied, forces, Involving the troops of seven nations,' a're attacking successfully on five fronts. They are engaging the four central powers, in addition to the Russian BolshevlkL

The active fronts are in France, Macedonia. Palestine^ northern Russia and southern Russia. Fighting on tha Italian front is still desultory, but has Increased perceptibly within the' last week. There is also Increasing activity in Albania, Indicating the possibility of the Macedonian drive spreading to that region and involving tiie Austria's holding the line there.

St. Quentin Battle Centerv Fighting on the west front still centered about the Hindcnburg line defenses between Cambrai and St. Quentin today. The British this morning drove forward on a three-mile front between those two cities, apparently seeking to capture the important railway junction of LeCatelet, one of the bastions of the Hindenburg line, and destroy direct communication to Cambrai and St. Quentin.

South of St. Quentin, the French forces were pushing eastward from the village of Kenay and gradually shoving their lines past the city.

The German war office admitted the loss of lissigny Le Grand, just north of Ben ay. It also admitted a French success between the Aisne and the Ailette, where the poilus gained a footing on the high ridge west of Jouy and south of Anizy le Chateau.

Americans Repulse Raids. 'v The Americans repulsed two heavy raids against their right flank on the Metz front, just west of tha Moselle river, this morning.

In Macedonia the allies are now pursuing the Bulgarians on a seventeen mile front between Monastlr and Lake Doiran. An additional advance of ten miles was made yesterday, resulting in the

capture

of ten vil-

lages. .,y To the eastward, Ttri Han forces are harrasslng the Austrian lines in Albania by raiding operations, ,,

The Anglo-French drive in Palestine began Wednesday and is proceeding over a front of about fifty miles between the Mediterranean and the Jordan river. Reports indicate that the Turks have been heavily defeated.

ATTACK IN STORM,

Britisti Smash Forward sit Thrill!Mile Front.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE, Sept. 21.—In the midst of a terrific storm, the British smashed forward on a three-mile front west of the important railway junction of LeCatelet this morning.

The attack was delivered eastward from Ephey ajid Lempire against the only point, between Cambrai and St Qnentin where the Germans ctill hold the outpost positions on the Hindenborg line.

The enemy defenses hers 'are tmUsnaJJy strong. The outposts are situated on a low rldfre, from which little spurs stretch toward the British positionsfe There is a perfect maze of trenches about LePetit Priel farm (a mite north of T^em^ire) and T^Oatelet copse, AH this makes the going extremely hard, but ut least 40U prisoners were taken in the first few hours of fighting,

Hun Battalions Mutiny, contrast to the spirit of the hwoie Highlanders mentioned in Field Marshal Haig's communique today, the first and third battalions of tho first German guards reserve division refused to enter the line Thursday, according to information obtained from prisoners today. They eventually obeyed orders, and their losses were heavy.

The gruelling fighting likewise has broken the spirit of the famous Jaegers. Prisoners of that unit admit it. pointing ont the seriousness of their losses. One company of the 20th battalion, after Thursday's battle, had only one officer and ei?:ht men left. Thp first company of the 21st battalion lost thirty men out of 65 the fourth company lost r.O ont of 85.

TWO MILLION GOAL

by June next year, It becomes Increasingly evident that the boche will be so

far

outnumbered that the 1919 victory predictions will become certainties. Foch now is playing a strongly effective game of pinching the boche and his allies in several quarters at once, so that he will have no chance to gtrip the east for supplying the west. German man-power in the west is manifestly on the wane. The slaughter has been enormous since March 21. when the allies sent out their frenzied appeals for American troops wilb all possible haste.

le Great Achievement.

Today's announcement marks an achievement in troop transportation which army officers a year ago wouta unhesitatingly have called impossible.

General March labelled the week's war developments for the allies "continually and continuously good."*

He pictured the American line in Lorraine as quickly stabilized, while the German had been hurried ly strengthening his line of defense, tho so-called "Krlemhlld line," lying only a mil** or two beyond the present United States line at Conflans, important as a rail and strategic center, lies only ten miles away, while Metz is 12 miles distant This appears only

short distance, but to achieve its crossing is a task not measured in ordinary miles.

Metz Is encircled 'by fortresses so strong that they make Verdun's defense arrangements look like pigmy protection.

Hence its fall seed not be expected precipatibly, military authorities warn. The campaign is destined to be hard and bitter—but successful* say army men.

MINERS ASK TRAIN

Archie Forbes, of Shelburn, a member of the executive board of District No. 11, United Mine "Workers of America, with a number of mine representatives called on John W. McCardle, a member of the public service commission at Indianapolis to petition for certain train service to coal sttines near Terre Haute.

The miners wish the Vandalia Kailroad company to run a miners' train from Terre Haute, about five or six miles to the Glen Ayr and other mines. Approximately 250 miners living in Terre Haute work the mines daily and it was declared to the commissioner that if adequate transportation service could be provided the number would be doubled.

BOLSHEVIK! WILL BE WORLD OUTLAWS

Cannot Remain Silent,

"This government feels that it can-' not be silent or refrain from expressing its horror at the existing state of terrorism."* All civilized nations, it was suggested, should "register their abhorrence of such barbarism" in order to put

halt to the carnival of crime

now raging in Russia. It asked the diplomats t» ascertain at "once If the governments were willing to act—a.part from any atmosphere of the belligerency—to impress upon the perpetrators of these crimes tho aversion with which civilization, regards their present wanton acts.**

The note is the direct result of recent dependable information to the state department that the murder and anarchy in Moscow, Petrograd and other cities dominated by the Bolsheviki are growing to Uie stage ol a veritable orgy.

Text of Official Note.

Secretary Lansing's note said: "This government Is in receipt of Information 'from reliable sources revealing that the peaceable Russian citizens of Moscow, Petrograd and other cities are suffering from an openly avowed campaign of mass terrorism and are subject to wholesale executions. Thousands of persons have been shot without even a form of trial in administered prisons are tilled beyond capacity and every night scores of Russian .citizens are recklessly put to death and irresponsible bands are venting their brutal passions in the daily massacre of untold innocents. "It is the earnest desire of the people of the United States to befriend the Russian people and to lend them all possible assistance in their struggle to reconstruct their nation upon principles of democracy and acting therefore solely in the interest of the Russian people themselves, this government feels that it cannot be silent or refrain from expressing its horror at this existing state of terrorism. "Furthermore, it is believed that in order successfully to check the further increase of the indiscriminate slaughter of Russian citizens, all civilized nations should register their abhorrence of such barbarism. "You will inquire, therefore, whether the government to which you are accredited, will be disposed to take some immediate action, which is entirely divorced from the atmosphere of belligerency and the conduct of war, to impress upon the perpetrators of these crimes, the aversion with which civilization regards their present wanton acts,"
