therein. ,
Bulgaria will no doubt go about the
paths of peace with unusual avidity,
once the war spirit is shaken out of the
people's systems.,
The kaiser has asked his subjects to
give all their blood and all their money
to keep him from the dregs of defeat.
Meanwhile the kaiser keeps his seven
precious sons from harm's way.
There undoubtedly is a place for Eu
mauia in the war councils of the allies,
as well as a use for the Rumanian army
on the eastern front. The prospect of a
rc-establishment of the eastern front of
the allies is one of the most disturbing
features for the central powers, or rather,
the three-quarters of the allience which
still survives.
The claim in Germany that Bulgaria's
real peril was not revealed in the official
reports from Sofia to Berlin is mere ca
mouflage. Of course, Germany was in
very intimate touch with all the affairs
of all her allies because Germany has
been constantly calling for help from
thcra during the last few weeks and was,
therefore, apprised of the real situation
in all of those countries.
The collapse of Bulgaria and the rush
ing of German troops from Rumania to
support the tottering Hindenburg line
ought to make it possible for the Ru
manians to start building up an eastern
front again. Possibly there are a few
million Russians who would be willing to
join in the construction of that eastern
line. The possibility does not look good
from a German or an Austrian standpoint.
The people of Groton maintained the
reputation of their town for alertness in
responding to the nation's financial calls
by over-subscribing the town's quota in
the fourth Liberty loan on the first day
of the campaign. Groton established an
enviable position in the war savings
stamp drive, as well as in other cam
paigns, and seems likely to keep it up
till the last call of the government has
been met.
German people are said to be clamoring
"Do something" in the face of the im
pending blow. That's the trouble; Ger
many has done too much already. The
thing to do is to undo as much as pos
sible the immeasureable damage that the
cut-throat government in Berlin has done.
When the German people take a hand
and see that something like justice is
done to the nations which Germany has
devastated there will be some chance
for clemency at the hands of the en
tente allies. '
If a considerable portion of the popu
lation of Bulgaria is pro-entente, as it is
reported in advices to allied capitals, the
task of policing Bulgaria by allied forces
ought to be simplified to a considerable
extent and it should not be necessary to
maintain a large force of men in that
country, unless, of course, Germany
should take a notion to resist the effect
of the armistice signed between Bulgaria
and the entente powers. The allies, re
lieved of the necessity of keeping a heavy
force in Bulgaria, could devote more at
tention to the eastern flank of Austria
Hungary. .
AN ARMY OF VETERANS NOW.
The American army is no longer an
army of amateurs. It is an army of pro
fessional fighters, an army of veterans,
so to speak. Probably as many as a mil
lion men who only a few months ago
were following their civilian pursuits
have tasted battle and are no longer
green troops, while nearly as many more
are just back of the stage of veterans,
merely waiting for the chance to get into
the fray. A considerable force went into
battle for the first time in the St. Mi
hiel salient. More of them got their first
taste of actual war on the Champagne
front and still another force of them has
been hurled into the maelstrom of strife
on the most bitterly disputed section of
the Hindenburg line between Cambrai
and St. Quentin. Green troops no long
er, they march ahead with the nonchal
ance of the tried warriors of Great Brit
ain and France. Not now can the sneers
of the Germans be directed against the
"inexperienced" soldiers of the United
States. The Americans have the expe
rience and they will give the Germans
the experience of their lives before the
curtain is drawn on this vast drama. The
war-proud sons of the fatherland have a
host to reckon with which they might
well wish had not been disturbed. The
American army now has not alone num
. bers but the spirit of battle righteously
waged. '

reel retreat. It may even turn out to
as complete a debacle as ever occurred,
with the Germans driven helter-skelter
in their headlong flight for the German
border. The movement is yet in its in
ception and the retreat is not accelerat
ed; but there is no telling what may
happen when Foch delivers some of those
master strokes of pursuit for which he
will be heralded as the master strategist
of the war. It is at least evident al
ready that the Germans are badly defeat
ed in the greatest batile of the whole
war and that they have a very difficult
task Qn their hands to get their army
safely away from the clutches of the al
lies thrusting out from various direc
tions. Tremendous developments are apt
to come on the western front before win
ter sets in and prevents much of the ef
fectiveness of military campaigning.
BRITISH CROSS LYS
THE GERMAN RETREAT BEGINS.
The revelations on the western front
point unmistakably to a complete re
tirement of the German forces along the
Hindenburg line not one of those leis
urely retirements for which Von Hinden
burg made himself famous among the
Hermans but a retirement which was
thrust upon the Germans by a victorious
opponent pressing every advantage and
giving the harrassed foe no chance to re
mperate from one blow before he is
truck another blow. This is indeed a
And Belgians and French Are Making
Progress in Belgium.
London, Oct. 2. French and Belgian
troops made fresh progress in the direc
tion of Hooglede and Roulers and the
British seized Ledeijrhem on the Roulers
Memn railway, according to the Belgian
official statement issued last night. A
British detachment, the statement says,
crossed tne l.ys set ween wervicq ana
Uommlnes. I he statement reads:
"On Oct. 1 the operations in Flanders
under the command of the king of Bel
gium developed favorably despite the re
sistance of the enemy. The energetic
Belgian and French troops made new
profrress in the direction of Hooglede and
Roulers. South of Roulers the British
troops captured Ledeghem on the Rout
ers-Menin railway. British detachments
crossed the Iys between Wervicq and
uominines.
"British aerial squadrons bombarded
Lichtervelue, causing a lire at the rail
way station. They also broke up several
enemy convoys.
WOMEN'S PART IN THE WAR.
One Phase Is to Assist in Fourth Liberty
Loan.
Doing one's "bit" is no longer an ex
pression, half sentimental, half serious,
that means doing something usually the
most convenient something "for the
war." Not everyone has his, and in this
case her, definite bit to do. For the first
time in the history of wars, the govern
ment has called upon and appointed
women to undertake a part of its work.
The women's committee of the Liberty
loan campaign is not an amateur effort
dependent upon the men's committee. It
is an organization with its own definite
work to do, its chairman appointed by
Secretary McAdoo. The loan could be
raised by the men's committee, but the
challenge in this call is that the govern
ment needs the women's co-operation.
If this is a war "for the people," it must
be "by the people," as well, and "people"
has come to nave a wider significance
than it used. The government is begin
ning to realize that a whole is equal only
to the sum of its parts, and that women
are a large part of that whole, and it
wants to help them to be a productive
part.
The New York Times in an editorial
concerning Sept. 12 registration says:
"If one could visualize what will be hap
pening all over the country to-day, it
would afford one of the most thrilling and
impressive sights that the war has given
thirteen millions of Americans step
ping forward to answer 'Ready' at the
nation's call." Perhaps more impressive
because it is the first of its kind, would
be, the sight of our men stepping forward
at our nation's call. Never before has' it
come in just this way, and the women
are answering "Ready."

Volunteers Wanted Emergency
Again the call has gone out from our President for volunteers in the great
home army.
- Enlistments are now being made and sturdy patriots are daily pledging
themselves. The requirements are very simple, there is no physical examina
tion, and mental and moral defects will be waived.
The only requisite is the patriotic spirit and an inner consciousness of well
doing.
The regular uniform, head regalia and button will be given the recruit upon
signing up. "
The uniform consists of a durable covering of self-satisfaction, especially
adapted to circulate the radiation of a warm heart, making it outwardly notice
able. (Something civilian attire seldom does.)
The button is not a reward for bravery, but merely the insignia of a dutiful
citizen. . ..
Recruits will be expected to leave their hats in the ring a3 an inspiration to
others and a defiance to the weak-kneed who mildly observe that we have lost
our old-fashioned fighting spirit.
REMEMBER, this is a call for privates only. There will be no commissions,
and everybody will eat from the same table, influenza notwithstanding.
THE NAME OF THIS ' ARMY IS THE "FIGHTING FOURTH," AND
WOODROW WILSON IS GENERALISSIMO. The battle is going to be fought
right here at home, no over-seas service, no cooties, no mud, no cold, no pain,
none of the agony of the wounded, none of the hell of actual warfare, just a
little bit of sacrifice for those who are going and have ;jone " OVER THERE."
