BULLETIN.
With the American Army in tbe Champagne Oct 7 American
troops operating i ntbe Champagne with the Trench again advanced
their lines today capturing St Etienne.
The American progress served also si a leverage on the ng'it
of the Champagne ctfensive resulting in advances farther west
the' remit being the withdrawal of the German lines along a 25.
mil stretch. ....
Tbe bulk of the work was done bv a division which is among
the mont famous the United States has in Eurone.
OUTFOUGHT BY YANKS AND POILUS
PRUSSIANS ARE RETREATING ON A WIDE
FRONT IN THE CHAMPAGNE SECTOR
Outfought by the Frem-h and Atue ricans. th Hermans jire
reirentitiK on u wile- front in the Chatupiitftie wctor between Uheittis
an tithe Arpwine forest. The enemy has been enuiiht between
Oencral Hert helot's army on the west and (Jeneral l.onrnuiI'M
foree on tin4 Vast and is retiring northward towanl the Ketourno
river.
It iiinv be possible fur him to stan dbaek of that Ktrea'ii but it
RPems improbable that there will be mm li of a halt in the retreat
tint t the Hermans reach tlie Aisiie. (ienerai lterthelot'n advance in
the Rheims region has gravely menaced the enemy forces south of
the Ueturne and although the retrojrrndc movement is beinjr eov
rreil by roar-nanls well4 supplied with machine pins it appears
to b trainn on rapidly. The Frem-h seem to have reached the
Suipe iver a wide front.
Amerieau forces have been battling brilliantly with !encral
fJourauil's army and have aided materially in expelling the enemy
from the Champagne sector. Farther east the Americans fighting
between llie Argonne forest and the Mouse river are slowly clear-
ing the (iermans from the forest of the Kreiinhihl line ami gathering
their forces for nn assault on that powerful position.
From the region oT Lille southward to Cninbrai. the (brman
rolreat begun when hens :unl Arnient ieres were abandoned last
week is continuing with what appears to be p: i-cipitatioii. There is
every reason to believe that the city of l.ille will be evacuated by
the enemy within a few days and that his retirement will extend
Ifar down the front to the St tjiientiu sector where both the
French and I'ritish are reported to be clear through the Ilinden-
burg line.
So far the (ierman line from St (jncutin south to the Ailctte
and thenee eastward to Iterry-an-liae is standing quite firmly and
evidently this part of the enemy's position is being used as a pivot
ss his Armies to the north and east swing baek to new positions.
Italian forces however have struck at the Ierman lines in front of
Lnon nnd early reports of progress made there would appear to
justify the belief that the hinge of the foe's lines may be broken.
Ornian detachments which have been fighting with the Itiil
garian army in Macedonia arc being withdrawn according to an
announcement made at Merlin. Serbian and French forces are
reported to have inflicted a defeat on (ierman nnd Austrian units
near the city 'of Vranje.
" Unconditional surrender" is the answer of the American
press to the appeal for peace made by Austria and Oermany.
Official copies of the peace proposals of the central powers have
not ns yet been noted upon by President Wilson but it is reported
that the attitude of official Washington docs not encourage the
hope entertained by the enemy that the allies can he induced to
enter into negotiation nt a time when !ermany's armies are in
retreat nnd when Marshal Foeh's masterly strategy is beginning
to bear fruit.
So far as press comments reflect the situation in France and
England there is no disposition in those countries to consider the
effort of the enctn.v other than a new maneuver which promises hut
little more than might have been expected from the former pence
proffers made by the central powers.

The Big Drive Is On
Ed Murphy the contractor t.opped
at Dr Hirschl's this mornint to In-
spect a cistern. As he drove up he
saw Dr Hirschl's feet ttlckine; tut of
the top of the cistern. He rsn to pull
him out but heard him sayin;j. over
and over. "Daddy Paps Dnddy
Papa" as If trying to ascertain bow It
sounded. Mr Murphy thought the
doctor had lost his reason but Just
then Mrs Walton called: "It's a hoy."
After a week of intensive prta- .
aration General Lymon Cray to
day ordered a general forward
moverrent of his forces to sweep
Guthrie and Logan county for
$400000 the amount allotted for
the Fourth Liberty Loan.
Skirmisher have bttn fttling
out potjitiont and the may has
tnen carefully studditd and the
"Victory Battle" will rags from
this timt en "il the city and
county are safely over the top.
And at this particular time Ger-
many it again yelling for peace.
The Mun ia and always wee. a
joke. .
The Boschehead thinks that
peace talk at this time will con-
vince America that the war is
about over and that the Loan is
unnecessary for that rcsson.
Tht kaiaee it spoofing himself.
He has been taking a doae of
foolish powders.
He wants a cessation of hostil-
ities awful bad to he can delay
the -mauling he in receiving until
winter sets in.
He also want to defeat the
Fourth Liberty Loan.
America will rest consent to an
armistice. Ameries WILL put
over the loan.
Where do YOU stand in tha
matter
.Careful analysis has divided tht
people into three classes.
Firtt. The Patriot who loso
every .available dollar te Ms
country in this time of need.
Second. The Slacker who
dodges around and hopes that
eemeone else will carry his part'
of the work necessary to win th
war.
Third. The hun-insect who re-
futes to corns to tho assistance
of his country at all and wn;
knocks and kicks against every
move of tht land o' his birth ar.d
horns.
Tht first class has alrtaiy re-
sponded nobly and are en record
at being willing to do mare if
necettary.
Tht ateoid datt give if at a I.
grudgingly and Inetead of asking
how much ia required of teni
hike to the committee and re-
quest to be Itt off with an irfm.
titlmat amount.
. Ths third slats thank Qou .ire
few In number and f'tty wll. gel
theirs.
Ths man who tende all h can
is as big as a patriot aa the mat
who lends millions and has :t to
lend.
When Cermsny is licked
thoroughly America wil quit tho
war abroad.
When America has subscribed
ths full amount of ths Fourth
Liberty Loan ths drive will ssaso
at horns and it Shall be tsrtmtd
ths VICTORY LOAN. '
