HUNS DEFEATED ON ALL FIELDS BRITISH ANNIHILATE MOSLEMS, BULGARS NEAR COLLAPSE GAIN VITAL POSITIONS. BOMS CONSTANTINOPLE FRENCH WIN NEAR OISE RIVER AND JAPS DEFEAT HUNS IN SIBERIA. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Paris, Sept. 24.- — French force* fighting along the line south of St Quentin have reached the Oise river between Vendeuil and Travecy, ac cording to the official statement is* sued at the war office. Disaster has overtaken the Teuton over all fields. In Palestine the Turks are all but absolutely crushed; in Macedonia the entente forces are harrying their foee and threatening them with similar die aster; in France the British and French troops slowly but surely are eating their way into the vitals of the German defensive positions, the col lapse of which would result in import ant changes all along the western bat tle front, and in eastern Siberia the Japanese have made additional strides forward in the process of reclaiming that territory for the Russians. In all the theaters of the war the entente allies have the initiative in their hands and are pressing their ad vantage rigorously. The Germane and their allies nowhere are able to do more than stand *on the defensive. And in Palestine and Macedonia their efforts in this respect have proved aorry ones. From north of Jerusalem to the sea •f Galilee, in the territory lying be tween the River Jordan and the Med iterranean sea, the Ottoman forces have been caught by the swift drive of the British armies and virtually annihilated; Added to the heavy cas ualties suffered by the Turks, hordes of them were made prisoner and many more are wandering, bewildered, with out leaders, in the hills, eventually to be brought into swell the great totaL At last accounts more than 25,000 of the sultan's soldiers and 260 guns and large quantities of war stores were in British hands.

In the region between Monastir and the Vardar the enemy troops are in full retreat before the Italians, French and Serbians, while west of Doiran the British are steadily ham mering their way forward, driving the enemy northward toward the Bulgar ian frontier. Already the enemy line from Doiran to a point west of the Vardar has been evacuated. This force of the enemy, with thp railroad to the north severed, seemingly is in danger •f an enveloping movement unless it turns sharply eastward and presses in to Bulgaria through the mountains./ Not bo spectacular, but of vital im portance, have been the operations of the French and British from the south of St. Quentin to Cambrai. Both the French General Debeney and Field Marshal Htflg have won highly essen tial ground in the maneuvers which have as their objectives the oblitera tion of the Hindenburg line, the cap ture of St Quentin and the turning of the German line at Laon.
