OOfl MBBRIDE HERE
SON OF FORMER SHERIFF JOHN
IIcBRIDE A MEMBER OF MA
RINES IN PLATTSMOUTH.
Prom Wednesday's paily.
We were agreeable surprised when
yesterday afternoon one of the for
mer paper carriers of this oHice
walked into our santum, and stretcli
ing out his right hand, grasped ours
with a grip like a blacksmith's vice.
;Mid greeted us
while v e gues
with a kindly smile,
ed who he was. We
could hardly believe the gallant
young soldier, an athlete and while
a large brawny man full of Ameri
can jcp and life, his kindness and
gentleness was a portion of the boy's
character who are fighting for the
freedom of the we. rid. such was our
greeting from Don McF.ride. He is
with the Marines, and had a short
furlough, and is visiting his folks at
South Omaha and ran dov.n to see
his many boyhood friends here. He
has been with the Marines for over
a year now. and is cine of the best in
ihe service. "Coodie" as he was
known by. when he carried the
Journal, could not go by the Jour
nal, but must come in and see how
we all looked. He will return to
his station at Philadelphia soon.
WILL ILLUSTRATE
ROAD B
THE TJ. S. DEPARTMENT OF AG
RICULTURE IS SHOWING VIEWS
-AT THE STATE FAIR.
The state fair as on of the fea
tures, which the government is giv
ing, is the throwing upon the
screen the building of roads in this
state, taking even from the selec
tion of the stone in the quarry, and
going through all the process of the
preparing the materials, and the
construction of the roads, and later
their use and how the best meth
ods used, stand up under the con
stant use of heavy traffic. We
wonder if it would not be a good
idea for some one living around
this city and in this county to go
take a glimpse at the process and
see the results of 'Heal ltoadmaking'
for we are hearing a great deal
about the roads between here and
LaPIatte. We are now just in the
entering of a new era, on the Ihresh
hold as it were, when the roads of
the country are in part are going to
fake care of the traffic which the
railways are now failing to do. Pet
tor when you are at the state fair go
see these pictures, and make a spec
ial trip there to see them as well.

HUN FIGHTERS ARE
FILLED WITH FRIGHT
HUNS ARE BEATEN TO A PULP
AND GLAD TO BE CAP
TURED. In Desperate Hurry to Escape Lest
Troops Be Encircled by British
Who Are Pressing Close in
the Pursuit.
With the British armies, Sept. 3.
More than ten thousand prisoners
oenmu our lines are tlie best human
proof of yesterday's victory, when
our troops broke the Drocourt
Queant line and today the enemy
is in a hard retreat from the wide
belt if country north and south of
tlie Arras-Cambrai road in a des
perate hurry to escape lest his re
treating troops may be encircled by
our men who are pressing their pur
suit. The capture of Queant last night
by our naval brigades, with Pron-
ville beyond gives us Keymes the
most important pivot where the
Drocourt line joined the main Hind
enburg line which have been com
pletely inrneci. so mat mis iortrcss
position on which the Cermanr, set
tneir Hopes ot safety in delense is
now in jeopardy. The lowland Sot
of our seventeenth corps are walk
ing along the Hindenburg line
southeast of Queant clearing it cf
ny men vcho may still be in hiding
there, while the naval men of
Drake's and Hood's and Anson's and
Marines are following the line of the
Hindenburg support trenches and
curving downwards to tlie valley of
the llirondelle river and across its
slopes to get astride the Bapaume-
Cambrai road which is the enemy's
line of retreat for all heavy trans
port, scurrying away and burning
their stores behind them.
Enemy ParJc-Stricken.
There are great possibilities of
success in this situation today when
beyond any doubt the enemy is
more panic-stricken, as lie has all
need to be. than at anv time in this
war, having lost his strongest de
fensive positions and many battal
lions of men of which he is in des
perate want and is at his wits end
to gather fresh reserves in time to
make a stand before much more is
lost.
Our troops among whom I have
been today are not in any mood to
make things easy for him and are
exerting their utmost strength of
' rily and spirit, not heeding the
ret-d of sleep or rest, to keep those
Hermans eui the move. In my mes
sage yesterday I said how the Her
man command had scraped up every
unit of every division which still
trave some hope of lighting quality
in order to counter attack with fe
rocity and gain back their Hinden
burg line. - Then divisions were
identified against us in the region
cf Oognicourt and Durya and we
took prisoners of evry company of
every regiment.
Beaten and Glad of It.
Yesterday I saw them streaming
without escort over the battlefield
beaten and glad of capture, and to
day again I have seen many more
trudging down our tracks after last
night's progress, but until last even
ing it .seemed likely these Germans
would shenv some kind of strength
and come back to us with the grim
endeavor to retrieve losses. That
did not happen. What did happen
was the steady forward movement of
our men all through the darkness of
last night, all through the rain
storms until the light of dawn came,
and they moved faster still to make
more gains and everywhere the ene
my yielded before them and in some
places like Queant, the key position
of all his line, he crept away in ad
vance of our men without a show of
fighting.
The Canadian and English held
the line last evening east of Kter
pigny wood, southeastward to Dury
and Viller-Le-Cagnicourt and thence
southward to our side of Inchy.
They too were expecting counter-attacks
and at time an airman re
ported the Germans massing in the
wood called Aubigny-Aubers, cover
ed by an aerial escort of nineteen
air scouts. Some of our flying men
tried to break through that forma
tion of aeroplanes, but only one of
our pilots could get past them un
der the cover of the clouds and then
he bombed the assembling troops so
fiercely that they were broken up
and never came forward.

Charles Speedie, county superin
tendent of Otoe county, E. D. Bart
