ALLIES DEFEAT
140 DIVISIONS
IN BIGBATTLE
Advances Against Teutons Put
Enemy in Desperate Plight
as They Seek to Re
treat to Border.
Paris, Nov. 6. As the result of
the latest battle, which is still in
progress, the allies have soundly
beaten 140 German divisions, hun
dreds of villages have been freed
and thousands of prisoners have
been captured. The enemy's- posi
tion, which was bad before, now
may be said to be desperate.
The problem confronting the Ger
man general staff may be summed
up briefly as follows: ,
The enemy has nine armies strung
- out in a semi-circular line from
Ghent to Mouzon, on the Meuse, a
distance of 160 miles. All that im
mense fighting force must flow back
to Germany through Belgium, the
gap between Liege and Mouzon,
measuring only 70 miles.
The southern half and center of
this gap is the most difficult country.
It is wooded, hilly and poorly sup
plied with roads. If the Namur
I.iege region is occupied by the al
lies before the Germans south of
the Sambre are able t get away
and cross the Meuse, they will be
virtually surrounded.
Ghent and LeQ'uesnoy are nearer
Namur and(Liege than Marie and
Chateau Porcien. The British
armies are less than 50 miles from
Namur. The Germans on the Serre
are 70 and those on the Aisne are
75. The country north of the Sambre
is ideal for maneuvering.
Germany's Fuel Oil and
Gasoline Supplies Cut Off
Washington, Nov. 6. One effect
of the elimination of Austria from
the war, thefuel administration an
nounced tonight, will be the cutting
off of Germany's supplies of fuel oil
and gasoline.
Germany has been obtaining fuel
oil and gasoline from Galatia and
Roumania, and was planning to im
port extensively from the Caucasus,
the announcement says, but under
the terms of the Austrian armistice
all traffic between Germany and her
former ally must stop.
Within the German borders there
are no supplies of fuel oil, and in
formation possessed by the fuel ad
ministration is that Germany has
been using benzol, a derivative of
coal tar, for lubricating oil. This
latter source, it was said, will not
supply German needs.

Germans Devastating Terri
tory in Front of American
Advance; Teuton Re
serves Dwindle.
WithMhe, American Forces on the
Sedan Front, Nov. 6. (By Asso
ciated Press.) In their retreat west
of the Meuse, according to reports
reaching American headquarters, the
Germans are destroying property
and cutting down trees along the
roadways. American aviators re
ported today that the highway from
Stenay 'northward to Olizy-Sur-Chiers
is blocked every few yards
by trees across the road. The de
struction begins just beyond Stenay
and extends northeast and north
from one to three miles.
As an indication of the plight of
the retreating Germans it ii known
that on the entire western front the
enemy has in 'reserve only one
division which has been out of the
battle one month, and four divisions
which have been resting from two
to four weeks. Two of the divisions
are east of the Meuse.
The Germans, it is believed, have
used all their reserves on the front
opposite the Americans, the last
enemy division of reserves on this
sector having been thrown in the
desperate effort to stem the- Ameri
can advance.
Birth Certificates Asked
from Would-Be Airmen
" London Popularity of the Royal
air force is emphasized at the re
cruiting office here. The military
age minimum is-17 years and 10
months. So many youths under that
age have attempted to join that it
has become necessary to require
birth certificates with each application.
Solid South Remains
Quite Solid in Latest
Returns from Election
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 6. The nine
southern states east of the Missis
sippi river, normally democratic
with the exception of two repub
lican districts in Tennessee and one
in Virginia, returned their usual
democratic majorities in yesterday's
election, according to latest reports
today. All democratic senators were
elected and in the house 76 demo
crats and three republicans were re
turned. Louisiana refused to grant suf
frage to women, the constitutional
amendment being defeated by a
large majority.
Florida entered the column of
"bone dry" states, based on today's
figures.
American Doctor Forcibly .
Held in Belgium for Year
Salon iki, Nov. 6. Dr. Angelo Ro
meo, an American citizen who was
kept by force in Gabrovo, Bulgaria,
6y the Bulgarian authorities for
more than a year, has arrived in Sa
loniki. Dr. Romeo, who formerly was to
the staff of the American consul
general at Smyrna, offered his serv
ices to the Serbian government at
the outbreak of the war. He was at
Uskub when the Bulgarians cap
tured the city and during the fight
ing there cared for wounded Serb
ians and Bulgarians at the risk of
his life.

NEW FLU CASES
INCREASE AND
LID MAYRETURN
Eleven Deaths Also Reported
and Manning Warns Peo
ple to Continue Pre
- cautions.
Eleven deaths in Omaha from in
fluenza or pneumonia were reported
to the city health commissioner in
the 24 hours ending Wednesday
morning. There were also 30 new
cases.
This is a higher rate of both
deaths and new cases than City
Health Commissioner Manning had
expected. He said if new cases in
crease it may be necessary to apply
the closing oraer again.
"People must not imagine that
all danger from the Spanish influ
enza is past just because we have
relaxed the restrictions," said Dr.
Manning. "It is the people's duty
to continue their precautions against
the contagion. . People should never
cough or sneeze without covering
mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
A careless sneeze by a person who
has the flu may easily out the germs
of the disease in half a dozen other
persons.
"I don't think it will become nec
essary to close up things the way
the situation looks now, but if the
number of new cases increases ma
terially I will have no hesitation in
putting on the closing order again.
We are now comparatively free of
the epidemic, but out in the state
some communities are suffering se
verely from it. Be careful."
Dr. Manning believes most of the
new cases now being reported are
tflnsilitis and severe colds.
Miss Charlotte Townsend, secre
tary of the state Red Cross, went to
ScottsblutT, Neb., Tuesday night
with several nurses in response to
an appeal received from there for
help in combating the Spanish in
fluenza, which is very severe there.
South Side Lad Injured
When Struck by Motorcycle
Eugene Cherry, a negro aged 13,
was injured Tuesday night when he
ran in front of a motorcycle driven
by Officer Vance of the Central po
lice station who was going south
on Twenty-f urth vstreet.
The lad was playing in the street
at South Twenty-fourth and P
streets and started to run across the
street when he was struck, sustain
ing a lacerated knee and abrasion of
forehead.
He was taken to the police sur
geon where his wounds were dressed
and he returned to his home, 2517 Q
street.
Nurse at Wise Hospital
Succumbs to Influenza
Miss Francis Galligan, a graduate
nurse on duty at the Wise Memorial
hospital, succumbed Monday eve
ning to an attack of the influenza.
Miss Galligan contracted the disease
while caring for patients and was ill
but a short time. The body was
sent to Lindsay, Neb., the former
home of the deceased, where the
funeral will take place.
Colder Weather Expected;
Snowfall in Black Hills
While railroad men are not offi
cially predicting, the are guessing
that colder weather is on the way.
Tuesday night snow was general
over a greater portion of Colorado
and Wyoming, with one to two
inches in western Nebraska.
Yesterday, according to the
reports to the railroads, tempera
tures in central and western Ne
braska were 4 to 48 degrees tboi
zero. There was a snowfall ef two
to four inches in the Black Hilll
countty.
