front indicates that the Germans have had about enough of trench raiding. One communication on the subjects make the bald admission that they have had the worst of it in that style of warfare. They now prescribe the capture of prisoners from allied patrolling parties preferable"" to raiding trenches.

Imitating the Americans, who have shown themselves to he past masters in the art of patrolling, they are sending their parties into their opponents' trenches when they can get them to go. But they are obliged to offer special recompenses to both subaltern officers and soldiers to get proper recruits for the service. Distinctions, iron crosses and promotions are held out to all men who Will Join their patrolling squads.

win make a German retirement from the plaoe imperative. Already St. Quentin appears to have fowt its tactical value to the Germans. The Somme canal, one of the integral parts of the defenses of the city, is now under direct fire of the allies' guns, while the railroad lines must be under constant bombardment.

Northward along the luie the British have made a new edVance at Kpehy, west of Cambrai, but the fighting hero has not taken on the savage character as that further south.

German counter-attacks have been repulsed by the British, who hold all the ground won in recent fighting.

While the fighting on the Aisne front has not been as spectacular as that further north, the French are maintaining their pressure against the German positions just to the west of Chemin Des Dames, the famous road running along the crest of the hills north of the Aisne, which has been the scene of terrific fighting many times during the past two years.

The position hold by the French through Alamant and Sancy would seem to threaten the whole German position north of the Aisne.

Along the American sectors of the front in Lorraine, patrol encounters and artillery duels have been reported. Bad weather has virtually put a stop to operations there for the past few day 3.

MAKING MORE GAINS.

Gen. Allenby'a Forces In Palestine Continue Rout of Teuton** TENDON. Sept. 24.—In Palestine, Macedonia and France the entente allied offensive is progressing successfully.

General Allenby'a forces f» Palestine have followed up their-rout of the Turkish forces with additional gains. In central Macedonia the allies aro pressing vigorously the advantages won and the difficulties of the Germans and Bulgarians are increasing. Field Marshal Haig has taken a new step hi his Investment of St. Quentin, and is fighting toward the northern outskirts of that German strong point from east of Vermand.

On the Mediterranean CoaJt of Palestine, British cavalry has occupied the ports of Haifa and Acre, making an advance from just north of Jaffa of more than 60 miles since the present operations began, .Acre has been famous in history for "Ihe sieges it has undergone. Napoleon met with a serious repulse there In 1799.

The route of the Turks in t?fe west of the Jordan has compelled the Turks east of the river to retreat. They are being pursued cfosely by allied forces and the city of Ec-Salt has been reached and the allies are pushing north rapidly along the Hedgas railway. Gen. Allenby reports that the number of enemy troops taken captive will largely exceed 25,000.

German and Bulgarian troops fti Macedonia, their communication lines almost entirely gone through by the Franco-Serbian advance to the Vardar, are retiring on a 100-mile front. The allies have rrached the Vardar northeast of Monastir on a front of more than ten miles and Serbian forces having crossed to the east of the river in pursuit of the Bulgarians. On the left of the allied line Italian and Serbian forces are closing In on Prllop. Along the entire front the enemy la burning villages and war material.

By crossing the Vardar on a wMc fro it south of Gradsko, forty miles southeast of Uskub, the Serbians threaten the rear of the Bulgarians facing the British and Greeks around Lake Dolran. The Bulgarians thereare reported to be retiring northeast toward Strumitza, in Bulgarian Macedonia. evidently with the hope of escaping before the Serbians can cut off their retreat northward. Around Prelip the forces of the central powers also are in as serious position and they may be cut ofT if the allies can press northwest along ths river to Veles and Uskub.

YANK3 REPLUSE RAIDS*

American Artillery Firs Prevents Germsns From Attacking. WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE LiORRATNTS FRONT, Monday, Sept. 23.— (By the, Associated Press.) —American artillery fire prevented a

bpelUng, arithmetic, rsprman raid from materializing today. Warning of the enemy's intention was given by the start of a German barrage over the American lines at an early hour. As it shifted from the front lines to the back areas, the

American fire opened so effccttKllly that any attempt of the German infantry to attack was out of the question.

Isolated sectors were subjected to a harassing bombardment during the morning. This lire, however, did no damage. The enemy is still busy consolidating and organizing his lines in front of the American right flank before SL Mihlel,

After a gas bombardment the enemy attempted a raid of the American lines in the Vosges sector today. He was repulsed with probable losses before reaching the American trenches.

the ambassador raid, concluded that when they struck, Belgium would be found benumbed by fright, France in decay, England in indifference and America in business. "The answer," said Mr, Jnaser&nd. "was Liege, Marne, Ypres And St. MihieL" "In th© dust and smoke of the immense tight," continued the ambassador, "the skies are sometimes beclouded and we do not know the hour. But we feel that we are moving toward the evening.of 'der tag* and that evening will see the end of those criminals who even at this late hour still exercise their faculty of devising and of methodically ravaging, defiling and destroying the parts of France which they have to abandon."*

Vice Preaidenk fftepfiem.

Vie® President Marshal in replying to the ambassador said that the ghosts of innocent women, helpless children and feeble age are calling "to God, to America- and to civilization," and that their call shall not be in vain. "Since far oft 1776," said Mr. Marshal, "we have grown rich and powerful and many seek our favor and many are our friends, but none can get closer to our hearts than Prance for she believed in ns when all men despised us. "Mr. Ambaiyawlor, you know us better than we know ourselves. All the conscious days of my life I haye watched the attitude of this people toward war and warriors. It has been an intense hatred of war as an uostract proposition and a flaming, never dying enthusiasm for it when it had for its concrete, objects, justice, truth, liberty and fraternity. That sentiment accounts for our whole hearted entry into this war."

The vice president urged the ambassador to express the senate's appreciation of this "thoughtful and unexpected courtesy** to his government together with "the hope and belief that it would be the purpose and endeavor of this senate to maintain an indissoluble friendship with the people of France till the heavens are roiled together as a scrolL"

•The swift and abundant success of the Fourth Liberty Loan will be the greatest blow that could be struck Germany short of the defeat of one of its armies on the field of battle," declared former United States Senator Albert.J. Keveridge to a crowd that fille! the Normal assembly hall last night.

Mr. Beveridge's address was delivered after community singing by the audience, led by Prof. 1.. M. Tilson, and the singing of a selection by Mrs. David Silverstein. Previous to his address a band of 27 pieces from the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, played at the Sixth street entrance of the building to a crowd of thousands gathered there. Dr. W. W. Parsons presided at the meeting inside. "The news that the American people have subscribed for more bonds than their government offered, will mean to the hundreds of thousands of young men whom we have sent across the sea to fight and die, that every man and woman in America, is willing and eager to give all they have to provide the things those men need. It will comfort and cheer them in cold, dreary, disheartening months of winter trench warfare now approaching."*

newspapers this mOrtiing oomment on the Balkan advance as an astonishing achievement and a more surprising one than Gen. Allenby'a operation in Palestine.

The Bulgarian front had proved itself impenetrable so often that the first news of the attack a week ago aroused no eager expectations. The topographical difficulties had been so repeatedly explained—mountain ranges twisting and doubling up on each other in bewildering fashion the lack of roads and the existence of Innumerable deep ravines—that the people here had corae to regard the possibilities of this front limited. Now in view of the happenings of the past few days, and the immense losses the Bulgarians already have suffered, the commentators anticipate further big successes by the allies. "The whole line is in rapid movement on a front of a hundred miles,'* says the Daily Telegraph, "while the wedge separating the two Bulgar armies threatens their destruction.'*

The Dally Graphic assumes that one of the chief alms is the capture of Uskub, the main avenue for an invasion of J'uigaria, and thinks the movements now in progress are tending swiftly to such a consummation. The newspaper also thinks that it will be difficult for the Bulgarian army with its base at Prilep to escape a big disaster. -The SerMaas fcsrre ptu fmm«a erne of the most wonderful feats in military history, a deed comparable to the breaking of the Votan line," says the Daily Mail. "They have stormed positions which many of the allied experts regarded impregnable."
