FINAL SACRIFICE NECESSARY FOR ALLIED VICTORY

Recent Success of Allies Bring Victory in Sight, Says Clemenceau. PARIS, Oct. 4 With victory in sight tho allied nations should set themselves for the last sacrifices ne cessary before the final triumph is secured, Premier Cletnenceau declared today in a ringing pronunciamento. The premier's words are embodied in a letter ho has sent to the council general of the Loire, which has passed an address strongly supporting the government's course. "Tho councils representing the people," says the premier's response, "can depend upon the government,' with Marshal Foch and the united allied armies, to pursue their course until the benefits of complete success are wrested from the enemy.. The splendid victories of the recent weeks have definitely determined the fortunes of war to the stupefaction of the enemy, who now suddenly discovers that he had grossly deceived himself. "These victories are only the first sheaves of the fruitful harvest, of which the highest recompense will be the final deliverance of the world from tho oppression of implacable brutality and open the way for Its marvelous development. Let us salute the glorious aurora whose first rays illuminated the victonous fronts of the founders of the American republic and of our revolutionary forefathers. Obstacle Disappears. "In the abyss of irreparable defeat the Prussian militarists will bear the Bhame of the greatest attempt at wrong doing of which a barbaric people has been able to dream. The supreme obstacle to the reign and right of mankind is about to disappear in the acclaim. of a victory in which it is our duty to make effective the triumph of humanity. "For this let us continue to be true to ourselves. Let us accomplish the last sacrifices caused by the supreme convulsions of savagery. The colloboration of all in the revivifying of. the world wll achieve the work of idealism toward which so many generations have so gloriously sought the way and that history reserves to us the Inexpressible glory of realizing." Deputy Henri Galili, who also is president of the Paris City council, in an interview in LaLiberte, after a visit to the Champagne front, says that never since the war began has he returned to Paris from the front with such positive convictions of a complete victory. In the present operations in Champa gne, he says, the French have carried positions which they could not have taken in 1915, and their casualties are one-tenth of what they suffered in the first battle of Champagne. The German army today is not what It wps in 1915. On the other hand, tho French have a superiority over the enemy in their belief in final victory. Prlroners taken by the French, M. Gall! added, show signs of demoralization and discouragement. A young German officer, however, told the deruty that while there was no doubt the German army would nit go to Paris this year, "it will go there ten years from now." German Line Crumbling. The German situation on the western front is grave, the Frankfort Zeitung admits, adding that the German front is gradually crumbling. "The allied plan of attack." it adds, "is being carried out in an extraordinary manner. It is an awful strain on our front. The situation on the Meuse. where the American attacks are just beginning, is extremely critical. Part of the Chemin-des-Dames has had to be given up and the whole German front is gradually crumbling away under the allied attacks." The evacuation of Belgium is being discussed openly in Berlin, according to advices reaching here. Concerning Alsace-Lorraine the German high command makes the suggestion that it be neutralized and joined to Luxemburg, thus making a buffer state between France and Germany. A wide retreat of the German forces on the western front is foreseen by the Berlin department of propaganda. In a statement published by that bureau Germany is said to be actually shaking under the assaults of the re assembled entente forces. fftMlt)f1.ttltWl mm WIMHIN'MNniMW Saves Time, Worry and Waste and a lot of discomforts when "the morning cup INSTANT POSTUM rather than coffee.

THE VISIT. That evening Edith confided her uneasiness about their neighbors to John. ."That little boy needs Jackie's company as badly as he needs health," Edith said troubled. "And Jackie was delighted to play with him. The little boy's mother has invited Jackie to come to their house and play. They have every top and plaything that money can buy. Yet, John, I feel there is something so queer about that family that I am afraid to let Jackie go there." John nodded. J . "If you have any doubts about that family I will no more have my children go there than if there were contagious disease there. Can't have our children exposed to dangerous influences at their age." "But I can't refuse to let him go there, can I?" Edith protested. "I don't know anything against them. And the little boy is so wistful for Jackie for that matter, his mother is so eager for me to be neighborly with her. She seems to have suffered a lot. Oh, John, what can we do about it?" "I am sorry for the little boy, Edith. But I am more anxious that Jackie should not be exposed to dangerous possibilities," John repeated stubbornly. "It's our job to keep the children safe. But I'll tell you what I'll do. On Sunday when you take the preserves over to them, I'll help you carry and get a chance to size up these people." Edith eagerly fell in with the idea. By Sunday she was more anxious than ever about the outcome. In two days Jackie had become fascinated with the new neighbors and they with him. There was a playhouse, animals real

I and imitation, games of every descrip tion, candy, cake, presents and every gift money can buy luring him on to play at the Fenn home. He talked of the Fenns every minute he was not there. The little boy, Danny Fenn, seemed to have taken on a new lease of life since Jackie had begun playing with him. His mother could not do enough for Jackie. Yet Edith felt anxious. On Sunday afternoon John Ferrol helped Edith bring the preserves over. Mrs. Fenn met them, dressed in a mode which while unassuming was yet of the finest and costliest material and make. She appeared nervous, yet obviously eager to welcome them. The living room into which the Ferrols were asked was furnished with simple and" unostentatious taste. A second glance told Edith, however, that the money spent on the furnishings was beyond the scale on which people in Arcadia could afford to live. Mr. Fenn finally appeared and was introduced. A closer look at him intensified all Edith's uneasiness. His eyes could not meet the eyes of the Ferrols. His nerves seemed on the stretch, as though momentarily he ex pected to face something he feared. John s scrutiny maae mm nugei anu look scared, and he made some excuse for going into his study There was a ring on the front door. Mrs. Fenn, who was entertaining the Ferrols too eagerly and wistfully to MIAMI UNIVERSITY CLOSED BECAUSE OF INFLUENZA OXFORD, O., Oct. 4. Over five hundred students of Miami University were ordered to their homes yesterday evening on account of the epidemic of influenza in the institution. The closing of the institution temporarily followed a meeting of the authorities at which it was decided to be the only move that could be made in order to prevent the spread of the disease. The closing of the school does not for the present affect the members of the Students' Army Training corps, who were inducted into the national service last Tuesday. These young men 425 of them in all will remain pending instructions from . the war department, which was communicated with last night by Colonel Roberts, commandant of the Miami unit. It is understood that Colonel Roberts asked permission to send the soldier-students home for a few days, until all danger was past. There are scores of cases of influenza in the university, and there have been three deaths. The last of these occurred last night. John R. Wright, 28, of Mt. Orab, a senior in Teachers' college, and instructor in science in the McGuffey school, died after a few days' illness. Pneumonia developed from influenza. There are four other cases which are pronounced serious. Many students have recovered; others are being stricken daily. , Town People III. Last night all the sick were removed to Bishop Hall, in which building the university hospital is located. Previously a portion of the men's dormi tory-had been used for hospital purposes. The departure of the girl students, however, made it possible for all cases to be cared for in future under one roof. Yesterday Dr. Wade MacMillan, university, telegraphed to Red Cross headquarters in Cleveland for nurses, and received word that four would be sent to Miami at once. TWO MORE DAYS ARE LEFT TO REGISTER Saturday and Monday are the only days left for registration for voters, and according to estimates, at least five hundred men are left to be registered. Nine thousand four hundred seventy-one voters had signed up by Thursday evening, but the officials expect a voting capacity of 10,000. All men are warned to remember that the registration desk will close promptly at five o'clock Monday afternoon, and that no one can register after that date, no matter what the plea or excuse. Even applications which are in the mail at that time will not be received if they are delivered after that hour. PHILLIPINES SEND CHARCOAL. MANILA. P. I., Oct. 4.

The Ferrols exchanged glances. , f . . - They heard Mrs. Fenn open the door and a man's voice say: "Very good day to you," Martha!" There was an instant's silence, and then a stifled shriek came from Mrs. Fenn.- v At the ' sound of the man's voice the Ferrols heard Fenn in the room overhead running to the window. - An instant later he had plunged down the stairs, to the front door and the Ferrols heard him snarl r "Damn you! , This time I'll kill you!" When in answer to Mrs. Fenn's shriek the Ferrols ran to the porch they saw Fenn on a man's prostrate body, strangling him with the strength of a madman. - - (To be continued.) Air Mail Service in Use for Full Month (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Oct 4. Air mail service between Washington, Philadelphia and New York was conducted during the month of September without a single interruption the postoffice department today announced. September marked the first complete month of the service under, civilian direction, the war department which conducted the service at its inauguration having turned over the service to the postoffice department Aug. 12.

' :,; - .'V Describes Women's War Work. ; This afternoon Mrs. Anne Studebaker Carlisle of South "Bend, a member , of the National Council of Defense and the woman state chairman of the Indiana council gave a splendid talk on the work cf the women in this ! war. Mrs. Carlisle cited the work of the women in England and France and emphasized - the work that the women of America must do. "We have not yet been beaten Germany. While we are well on the line we are only on the line that they were nn In tho hpeinnlnsr of the war. The .,, har ,. tho, Hermans en the stronger their line is" going to be and the great fight will be at the Rhine. Foch must have 1,000,000 men to sacrifice. "The boys at the front want us to feel optimistic, yet they would rather we would be a little pessimistic. "We must not let up for a minute. A hard winter is ahead of us and we must meet every demand that,; the government makes of us. "The industrial situation Is the most critical. We have wonderful laws in Indiana relative to the industrial conditions for women. We have the prohibition night law and we must not lower any of our standards. If our laws are broken .they must be broken j by the Federal Commission. "I am sorry that we could not have put over the Liberty loan sooner because of Germany. She has our eyes on us and it would have been a reproof to her. Germany never reckoned with the American women, or with the women in any of the countries. The women of France have paid the indemnity that Germany placed on France in the war of 1870. "We women have given our sons and we have conserved food. In reality we have only given the food that before would have been waste and extravagance. The women are going to be important this winter. We shall have great sacrifices to make. Wo shall even have to give up things that we consider necessities of life. We ! must do this to put our government over the top. "But' I consider the industrial situation the most serious just now and the authorities and the governor of our state insist upon good working

conditions a-d good working hours for our wemrn." Dr. S. E. Smith, head of the Indiana Hospital for the Insane, preceded Mrs. Carlisle with a talk on "Mental Defectives." , Dr. Smith said : - "The problem "of the "mental defective is not new, but it is large, and keeps pace with our vision broadened by scientific inquiry and sociological investigation. i "The mental defective group is included in the lowest two per cent of the population and is made up of tht insane, feeble-minded and epileptics. The subject of care of the Insane is well developed, while 7 that of the feeble-minded is relatively a new subject and is not worked out. The term insanity is a legal term, and has no place Jn scientific medicine. The condition is better termed mental disease. Indiana admits to its five state hospitals 1,300 mentally diseased persons every year, and there are 7 500 such cases in the state. The hospitals are caring for approximately 6 000 cases. There are approximately 20,000 in this state and only 1400 are- under state care. There are 5,000 epileptics within the state and 1000 of these are in need of public care. The Indiana Village for Epileptics now provides for about 400, but plans are under way to increase its capacity. The causes of mental defectives are found in the evils of disease, ignorance, vice, crime and poverty, which lead to errors In heredity, syphilitic infection and the alcoholic and drug habits. These three causes account for 90 out-of 100 cases of mental defectives, and all are preventable. : ... ....... ..- Prevention must come from a complete system of state care of tho mentally diseased, which must include voluntary admissions to tho state hospital, the establishment of free mental clinics in connection wjta the; hospital where expert advice and treatment may be given the inciptent cases before commitments become necessary, and a broad social service in connection with the hospitals which will reach the new cases in their families as well as provide the after care of improved cases sent out from the hospitals. Women's Present Mission The prevention of the feeble-minded must come through sterilization as far as public opinion will permit, segregation in public institutions and colony farms, and an extensve and scientific communty service, . Mrs. Ella Boole, vice president of the National W. C. T. U. talked on "The Women and the War and the work that the W. C. T. U. can do in this war." She stated that the women

have a mission in this war that they av ever ad before, and they must do their work as an organization. Mrs. Boole continued to tell of the work that the W. T. C. U. can do. The program for this evening is as fellows: Music, The Nusbaums; invocation, Rev. John Webb, pastor of the Convention church ; music, The Nusbaums; greetings, on behalf of the city, Mayor W. W. Zimmerman; on behalf of the churches, Rev. J. S. Hill, pastor of Reid Memorial church; on behalf of the schools, Superintendent J. T. Giles; on Lehalf of. the Commercial club, Howard Dill, president; on behalf of the W. C. T. U., Mrs. Sophia B. Huff, W. C. T. U. county president; music, The Nusbaums; response to greetings, Mrs. R. F. Barnes; the gold and silver are his, Mrs. Retta. Jones; benediction, Rev. R. L. Seaman. Combing Won't Rid Hair Of Dandruff The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy It entirely. To do this, get about , four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. Do this tonight, and by morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching nd digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft.: and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at " any drug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work. Adv. new Shoes"
