' Archangel, Sept. 29. Peasants with their families, are flocking in side the allied lines in northern Rus sia. An Associated Press corres . pondent, who has just returned from a trip to the front, visited many vil lages and found the peasantry re joicing at their deliverance from the bolsheviki. Most of them were unlettered representatives of 70 per cent of the Russian population. One of the older men of a large group ', doing military construction work for ' thr allies and acting as the spokes- man, said: "Money is no good to us and we are glad to work for the food the allies are giving us. The bolsheviki stole our cows and everything we had. Now we are happy. , "We know we are like children. We need good, kind people like the allies to protect us. We hate the Germans because we know from our brothers in the south and west that they are cruel. They took our lands, grain and cows.". Americans returning to the Dvina front with bolsheviki prisoners brought stories of new cruelties and murders. They told of one instance where the mutilated bodies of three British sailors who had become sep arated from their command had been found. ' Most of the prisoners brought here,, including officers, said they had been forced to serve under threat of death. Soviet Admits Defeat Amsterdam, Sept. 29. (Reuter's.) The Russian wireless report re ceived from Moscow covering the operations on, September 25 admits the righting on. the northern front is going unfavorably for the soviet troops who are retiring at various points, including Kotlas. On the east ern front strong forces of Czecho slovaks are advancing from two sides against Altayevsk, north of Ekaterinburg. , Hohenzollems Must Suffer for Wrongs Done i ; Humanity, Says Gerard San Francisco, Sept. 29. "We 1 connot sit down and discuss term with murderers or peacefully sit at the green table of peace and p;.rcel out the world in company with burglars,' and there is something j more. ' I believevthat the American pftooie win cemasa ot meir states "intlrVveTigean!pe 'which shall be ex acted, for the wrongs suffered by humanity;" 'said James W. Gerard, fornier' American ambassador to Germany, in bpening the fourth Liberty' bond campaign in San Francisco and the twelfth federal reserve district. "Don't stop now," he continued, "in the spirit of the war. Guilt is nersonal and the Hohenzollems J and their advisers must themselves suffer. "Buy your subscriptions to this Iqan. Send a message to our allies and to our boys, who are fighting in France and tell them that we are with them until the end and until victory." Mr. Gerard spoke following a great night parade, in which thous ands of persons, representing every branch and society, associated with the allied cause, marched for two hours.

ROUMANIANS RISE IN REVOLT AGAINST TEUTONJNYASION (Continued From Fare On.) uation and especially the Bulgarian request for an armistice. The Neue Freie Presse of Vienna, says Austria has taken all measures to make certain that reinforcements shall reach the scene of operations at the earliest moment and give the Bulgarian army the utmost support. "The Bulgarian forces driven back," it says, "are getting into touch with our forces in Albania and have been removed from the control of the Bulgarian army com mand. We are justified in assum ing that a new front will be estab lished, ensuring our eastern communications." A telegram from Vienna reports the arrival there of two of Kiwr Ferdinand's daughters and says that Emperor Charles held a long conference, with Premier .IVekerle on the situation. Insist on Allied Jolicy. London, Sept. 29. London news papers, while cod8 dering that an armistice is not a necessary prelimi nary to a discussion of peace, rec ognize the ad'antages of a separate peace with; Bulgaria. They insist, however,,n the carrying out of the allied picy in the Balkans and the safeguarding of the interest of Ser bia"' Roumania and Greece. 'If Bulgaria wants to negotiate, ve are willing, but it is not likely an armistice will be granted," says the Daily Chronicle. The only possible guarantees, de clares the Daily Telegraph, are the surrender of the Bulgarian armies and the submission of the Bulgarian people to the allies. lhe allied governments, the Daily Express says, will not pay too big a price tor the distinct advantage of a separate peace and they will not forget Serbia. The Times declares it is for commanders in the field to deal with the present proposal. The military correspondent of the Manchester Guardian says that the Bulgarian overtures for an armistice and peace are much more than an admission that Bulgaria is defeated; they express her formal verdict that Germany has lost the war. Analyzing Bulgaria's cry of dis tress, the London Times finds one of the explanations in the fact that the war never was popular with the rank and file of the Bulgarian army. The soldiers have realized more and more of late, the paper asserts, that the present policy of their country was not paying and never would pay- Opposes Employment of Children in War Work AUTO SKIDS ON RAIL AND TURNS OVERJNMREET Four Persons Injured in Acci: dent Resulting From Ef- j fort to Avoid Strik ing Pedestrian. ' Four persons were injured in an automobile accideM at Twenty fourth and Maple streets about 8 o'clock last night when a Ford tour ing car driven by George V. Divers, 4221 North Twenty-fourth street, skidded on a rail and overturned on the car track, throwing all of the occupants to the pavement. Riding with Divers were his wife, Mrs. Francis Divers, his mother-in-kw, Mrs. Fanny Jackson, 2107 North Twenty-seventh street, and Pete Horgens of Arcadia, la., visit ing with Divers. Divers and Hor gens suffered the most severe in juries, the former receiving a badly bruised right eye and the latter a terrible gash just above the right eye. It was necessary for Police Surgeon Edstrom to take several stitches in Horgens' forehead in order to close the gash. Mrs. Div ers received a slight cut on the fore head, but she suffered most from the shock and general shake-up. Mrs. Jackson also suffered greatly from the shock. All were able to go to their homes after being at tended by Dr. Edstrom. "I was driving south on Twenty fourth street, in the car tracks," says Divers, in explaining the acci dent, "and in order to avoid strik ing Amy Anderson, colored, 108 South Thirty-third street, who had just alighted from a northbound car, and started to cross the street, I made a sharp turn out to the right. In so doing, my car skidded on the rails and turned completely over, throwing all of us to the pavement." According to eye witnesses Divers was going about 75 miles per hour when the accident occurred. Amy Anderson escaped injury, but was almost bleached white with fright. The injured were taken into the home of D. R. Hernel, 2906 North Twenty-fourth street, where first f id was given to them till the police ambulance arrived. The car, which was only slightly damaged was a rented one and belonged to the Ford Livery company.

YANKEES DRIVE ON INTEETHOFGONS (ContbHad From Pace One.) between the Aisne and the Aire. To the' east determined opposi tion also is being offered, although in. that part of the front the Ger man loss, while perhaps much greater in extent, would be less im portant because on the left the more important communication lines are seriously threatened. The damage already done to the line running north and east to the American sector is not sufficient to put it out of operation, but for every 100 yards fhe Germans lose in the Argonne the danger to their communication line is increased. The fighting on the American front has developed into two major operations, for the island-like re gion between the Aisne and the Aire, and for the district between the Aire and the Meuse. If the Americans can drive through on either sector the Germans must look to the Brunhilde system of defenses, a line they have not had to use up to this time. This extends along the southern edge of the Boult forest eastward along a line to the north of Brieulles, where shells from Am erican guns already have exploded munition dumps, starting fires. ALLIED FORCES CONTINUE DRIVE IN MACEDONIA Important Bulgarian Base Captured by Italians; Serb ians Pressing on Toward Uskub. Rome, Sept. 29. Krashevo, an important Bulgarian base. 20 miles north of Monastir, has been cap tured by Italian troops, who also have driven the enemy from the mountain ranges between the Cerna and Velika rivers. Paris, Sept. 29. The French of ficial statement on operations in Macedonia follows: "The day of the 27th was marked by a general advance along the whole front and by new captures of a large number of prisoners and important material. On the left the allied troops broke up the resist ance of the enemy forces between Lakes Presba and Ochrida and pressed on. Northwest of Monastir we have made an advance of more than 18 kilometers at certain points. We have progressed beyond Kru shevo and are marching on Ky chevo. "In the center the Serbians, who entered Veles on September 26, despite strong resistance by the enemy, are pushing forward on the front of Karabuniste-Rudnik, 35 kilometers (22 miles), from Uskub. They have reached the region of Kochana and Ratavista and cavalry units have reached the region of Lehovo, about ten kilometers (six miles) from the Bulgarian frontier. 'On the right the allied forces occupied the region of Strumnitza and are ascending the valley of the Strumnitza toward the east. "The number of guns captured is more than 300."

With the French Army on the Champagne Front, Sept. 29. The battle of Champagne has greatly in ceased in violence with the arrival of fresh German divisions. The enemy is making a strong light to halt the advance of General Gou raud's troops toward Vouziers. Northwest of Bouconville, Belle- vue and Bussy farm were captured this morning, giving the French i position which commands the im portant railway junction at Challe- range and the defile of the Argonne at Grand-Pre, which Domouriez in his camoaiirn in 1792 called the Thermopylae of France. The French have also taken Mount Ou velet, another commanding position west of Bouconville. With the French dominating the western exit from the Argonne, and the Americans advancing along the eastern edge, one of the strategic objects of the battle, which may be to provoke the fall of the entire Ar gonne position, is well advanced. Further west fresh ground has been gained in the region of Aube rive, which increases the menace to the strong German positions on the mounts north of the old Roman road, lying east, from Rheims, the Teton, Mount Cornillet, Mount Sans-Nom and Mount Haut. Grand-Pre Big Stake. The possession of Grand-Pre is one of the big stakes of this battle. When it falls the Germans must make haste to get out of the Ar gonne region, which explains the desperate defense of its approaches by the best forces the Germans have available. Those taken prisoner yesterday gave up only after most bitter combats; they not only fought well but their appearance is far superior to that of most of the prisoners taken in the last month. General Mangin's forces, driving back the enemy in the region of the Chemin Des Dames during the night, advanced to the Ailette river north of Pinon forest, took Chavig- non and reached the Canal basin to the southeast, where they met sharp machine gun fire, to prevent them from crossing. Further south the Germans are resisting on the line of Chapelle, Sainte Berthe, Ostel and Chavonne. They are relying principally on ar tillery in this region. With Lhatterange unaer nre 01 the French guns, the enemy s movements of troops will encounter vastly increased difficulties. As he is short of motor transports, he has relied mainly on railroads and has supplemented the oM French lines with several branches since occupy ing the region. These railroads now are useless for all concentra tions of the troops south of Grand- Pre. Vouiiers, another important cen ter of concentration, aiso is ai rectly menaced, Gouraud's forces being only about 10 miles away. A little further advance will enable them to render this junction also useless, and the whole German sys tem of communications toward the Stenay Gap will crumble. Display Extraordinary Courage. French Headquarters in Cham- pagne, sept. a. i. neuters.; Germans fought desperately to re tain nossession of Somme-Py. They counter-attacked repeatedly in the teeth of French machine guns. French tanks displayed extraor dinary gallantry in the capture of a tunnel which the Germans were employing to feed reserves to the front and which had been organized into a regular fortress, lhe tanks had to traverse a labyrinth of trenches under the attack of heavy artillery but succeeded in their dif ficult and dangerous mission, ena bling the infantry to surround the tunnel and turn the whole Somme Py position from the east. Further east the heigth of Grat reuil was captured by a surprise at tack delivered with such speed that the garrison was surrounded before it realized it was being attacked. The village had to be cleared by street fighting, however, for the Ger mans apparently did not realize they were surrounded. The ehemy's resistance has been intensified along the whole front as the infantry and machine gunners fell back upon their reserves in new lines which, although neither so strong naturally nor so well en trenched as the abandoned posi tions, are far more strongly held and the problem of piercing them is one of the utmost difficulty. Probably no troops ever made such an advance as General Gour aud's infantry in the last two days over such a maze of fortifications. Five distinct trench systems were counted in the space of a thousand yards. After the first hours Ger man reserves began to appear, among them at least one division of Prussian guards, and they counter attacked furiously. Fire Discovered in Cargo. An Atlantic Port., Sept. 29. Fire discovered in the cargo of the New York and Cuba mail line's steamer Mexico, while the ship was at sea had been brought under control when the vessel reached ths port to night. Part of the cargo is being un loaded so that ; survey may be made of the damage, which is not believed to be great. JEFFERIS FOR CONGRESS B Sura That You Are Registered So You Can Vote November 5. 0. S. AVIATORS GAIN MASTERY OF FOE IN AIR Low-Flying Planes Lay Down Barrage Covering Infantry and Vanquish Enemy Formations. By Associated Press. With the American Army North west of Verdun, Sept. 29. American aviators again demonstrated Satur day that they are the masters of the air on this sector. They engaged in 52 combats and brought down 33 enemy machines without the loss of one American pilot. The German airmen appear to have lost the dar ing which has characterized their work of the previous day and did not venture across the American line with reconnaissance airplanes after they had been attacked once by the American machines. The German balloons were hastily lowered in the face of an American attack and did not appear again during the day. One of the American pursuit groups engaged in 23 combats at low altitudes and brought down three enemy machines. Another pursuit wing had 17 battles in two sorties along the line. A third group dropped bombs on Roinagne and Cunel and engaged in several battles with German machines, bringing down six of them. Aerial patrols left their airdromes Thursday before dawn and were over the sector of attack by sunrise. They began their operations by launching a successful raid against the German balloons, six of which were brought down during the day. Other aviators directed the continu ous barrage throughout the day all the way from Chatillon-Sous-Les-Cotes to Lamarazee at an altitude never exceeding 1,000 yards. Flying at this low height these patrols were able to protect the observation air planes who were doing work for the infantry. One Group in 23 Combats. One pursuit group engaged in 23 combats with enemy airmen, des troying two enemy machines and fringing down out of control a num ber of others. Other Americans (lew over the German lines to as far as the Moselle, southwest of Metz. They found few German ma chines but drove back all they chanced to find. The work of the observation airplanes was virtually undisturbed by the enemy machines. A series of deep rairjs into enemy territory was made during the day. The first of these resulted in 13 com bats in which 10 German airplanes were destroyed. The second was made at a low altitude for the pur pose of bombing concentrations of enemy troops and convoys. Three German planes were engaged and one probably was destroyed. A third raid was made in con junction with a bombing group against the railroad junction at Etain, east of Verdun and resulted in the successful bombardment of the objective. The Americans met German fliers during the bombing operation and are believed to have destroyed three of them. Long dis tance reconnoitering flights were carried out and valuable information obtained concerning German troop movements. American observation aviators carried o-t 75 missions during the day1, starting from their bases be fore daylight and working until long after dark. They came in con tact with German infantry on 35 oc casions. The aviators were divided into groups, lhe first section was as signed to an infantry unit to re port its progress. The second did observation work, watchine the gen eral advance, the location of the enemy troops and the movements of his batteries. The third section was attached to the corps for general scouting and observation work. The American machines not onlv cr.rried out this work, but them selves went over to the offensive re peatedly and spent much time in at tacking enemy formations. lhe aviators returned to their hangars at night with the wings of tnetr machines often r. tidied with bullets. A ground mist, especially in the morning, necessitated their tl .scenditifr to a level of only 75 feet above the fighting units. While over the American infantry the avi ators encouraged the men and flew so low that they could hail the ad vancing fighters. One wounded man lying on the ground even turned over and waved cheerily to a plane as it flew close above him. One of the machines which sighted a big group of Ger mans swooped down upon it. The i..achine Run jammed just as the aviator was about to fire. The ma chine turned so that the observer might fire, when it was discovered that the Germans were prisoners in the hands of five American soldiers. One pilot had the glass eye piece shot out of his goggles, rutting up his hands to adjust his goggles, an other bullet grazed his thumbs. Still another pilot received an explosive bullet through the front of his outer fur coat, setting it on fire. He was not wounded. DEPARTMENT OF SOMME LIBERATED (Continued From Pe One.) Dames Ridge. The German posi tions on the ridge are being sub jected to a heavy artillery bombard ment. French Headquarters on the Aisne, Saturday, Sept. 29. (Reut er's.) The Germans have begun a retirement from the important Laf-faux-Malmaisoti plateau, from which the Chernin Des Dames runs east ward to Craonne, and the sources of the Ailette. After fighting desperately for weeks to retain the approaches to the massif of St. Gobain and Laon, the enemy is abandoning them. This group of heights for four years has formed the central pillar of the German line in France. The strate gy of Marshal Foch compelled the enemy, as it did on the Marne, to withdraw his center before the allied attacks to the north and the east forced him to move back on the wings. The retreat is one of the first and direct results of the French, American and British offensives of the last three days. Senate to Dispose of Woman Suffrage Resolution Today Washington, Sept. 29. Disposal of the woman suffrage resolution, probably tomorrow, is expected to pave the way for three day re cesses of congress while senators speak for the Liberty loan and rep resentatives look after their politi cal fences back home. The suffrage resolution comes up in the senate again tomorrow with prospects of definite action, either by a final vote and its defeat or its withdrawal. Chairman Jones of the woman suffrage committee said to night no plans had been made other lhan to call up the resolution again and decide, after a final poll of forces, whether to press for a vote or have it laid aside. With the suffrage question set tled, the senate has little left on its immediate calendar to interfere with the proposed recesses. Forest Fires Sweep Area 25 Miles Wide in Washington Olympia, Wash., Sept. 29. For est fires, driven by high east winds, have swept an area 25 miles wide near Shelton, Mason county, Wash ington, destroyed all bridges on the upper line of the Peninsula railroad, burned out three logging camps of the Simpson Logging company completely surrounding two other camps and tonight were sweeping into the timber toward the coast. Damage to railroad property alone was estimated in reports received here at $250,000. Butte Strike Ends. Butte, Sept. 29. Federal Mediator Thomas Barker announced tonight that he had been informed unofficial ly of the decision of the Industrial Workers of the World to return to work in the mines pending settle ment of their controversy with the mine operators. The Butte Daily Bulletin, regarded as the official spokesman for the strikers, has an nounced the ending of the strike. BRITISH GUNS ARE TRAINED UPON CAMBRAI Could Make Position Unten able for Germans. But Fire Withheld From Desire , Not to Damage City. ' British Headquarters in France, Sept. 29. (Reuter's.) The Geo graphical situation today is that while we are nearly as far forward as the extreme limits of our No vember thrust south of Cambrai, to the north we are in more advanced positions than at any time since 1914. Naturally no information is available as to whether we shall try to enter Cambrai, but it is certain we are in a position to make that town untenable for the Germans. 0' guns are trained upon the city and if their fire is withheld, it will be from a desire not to damage the town unless it is absolutely neces sary. Prisoners say that with the ex ception of the western outskirts Cambrai is in a habitable condition. Up to 3 o'clock Saturday the prisoners collected by the first and third armies since Friday morning exceed 12,000, and more guns have been added to the 200 already re ported. From the south to the north our new front runs roughly through Beaucamp, Bois Couillet, Marcoing, with troops on the east bank of the canal and then along the west bank of the canal to the east of Cantaing, Fontaine-Notre-Dame, Saeilly, Pay necourt, Epinoy, Oisy and Talleul.
