INFLUENZA SITUATION MUCH BETTER IN CITY OF BOSTON NO CHANGE REST OF STATE 20,000 NEW CASES IN ARMY HI B SITUATION BETTER Boston, Sept. 30 —The aid extended by federal and other outside work ers in Massachusetts to the state au thorities in organizing the campaign against influenza led the state de partment of health tonight to ex- j press its expectation that the opi- demic would be checked before gain- j tng further headway. The depart ment reported conditions in Boston today improved but the disease was more prevalent in cities ami the towns in the Metropolitan district and throughout the state. C'ommis- sioncr Kelley in a telegram to Sur geon General Blue covering the sit- j uation up to 1 o'clock today said: I "Reports from 65 cities and towns outside of Boston total 5500 new cases of inllucnzt. There are at least 75.000 Boston. Sept. 30.—The Boston Board of Health reported 142 deaths from influenza and 29 from pneumonia for the 24 hours ending at 10 o’clock tonight. The total of 171 deaths is the highest for a single day since the epi demic started on Sept. 14. cases of influenza in Massachusetts today, excluding the number in can tonments. Nurses and doctors «>’e most urgently needed." State .’111(110111108 are satisfied that nil communities have taken recog nized precautionary measures against the spread of the disease. The most serious phase of the epidemic con tinues to be tlie lack of adequate medical assistance in places where there are large number of cases. Ev ery effort is being made to obtain j physicians and nurses. The sta’e de- pertinent of health tonight announc-, ed an offer of $10 a day and expenses j to registered physicians not in gov I ernmen: service who will come to Massachusetts. Transportation will ho refunded to physicians within a 24-hour travel ling radius of Boston. Before start ing physicians should wire the de partment for Instructions. The department called attention to its offer of $2S a week and ex penses to graduate nurses who will report at the state house for duty, j The department is anxious to have school teachers act as nurses' assist ants, pointing out that each grad uate nurse can attend to many more j cases if she lias the assistance of several women. All assistants will be thoroughly instructed in meth ods of preventing infection. Fifteen physicians and 28 nurses were as signed today to communities which had called for aid. Included in the number of physicians were several fourth year medical students at 1 Harvard. Lieutenant Governor McCallum Grant of Nova Scotia sent a message 1 of sympathy and offer of assistance j today to Governor McCall. He said: i "This province cannot fail to recall with gratitude the magnificent and immediate response Massachusetts made in the time of our urgent need I at Halifax Some nurses have al ready gone to help you and more I doctors and nurses will follow as j you may require them.” GERMAN THREATS CALL FORTH SAME FROM U. S. Washington. Sept. 30.—The American j government in reply to Germany s l threat to execute American prisoners of war found in possession of shotguns, I today gave notice that if Germany car ries out any such threats reprisals will he taken.

Their purchases, so far as of ficially reported before the close of business Saturday, totalled more than $44,000,000 with many thousands of dollars more unofficially reported. Massachusetts contributed $28,603, 000, of which upwards of $18,000,001 came from Boston.

Scat. 30.— (By the Associated Press)—The German press today is hysterically emphasizing that the need for cool heads never was greater than now. The possibility never before entertained or visual* i zed, is beginning to dawn on the people that Germany may lose the war and the suddenness of this realization has had a bewildering effect on them. The Zeitung Am Mittag entirely approves as wholly appropriate to the occasion the sensational editorial printed in Vorwaerts last week, deal ing with what would happen should an enemy succeed in invading the Fatherland. It makes an assertion remarkable for this newspaper, laying: “Our government throughout this terrible war has sedulously avoided hinting at this, and the possibility, namely, that the war may je lost, for everybody and everything are not united in the utmost ef jrt.” “The government,’’ the newspaper continues, “has preferred to lead the nation in blinkers past the abyss of danger to our national life.* The Rhenish Westphalian Gazette shudderingly contemplates the Bui- J jarian situation, “the last and highest wave, and suspects that the Bul garians after having got the Dobrudja region of Rumania, have no fur :her use for Germany. The Frankfort Zeitung expresses regret that the government failed to mpress on friend and foe with “Truth” that Germany did not go into :he war out of lust for power, and begs the government to make for leace, "unequivocally and sincere- ly.” The Essen Allgemine Zeitung speaks of “bad news coming thick and ast” and falls into bitter abuse of “Blaspheming Wilson and his mob of ynchers.” i onditions of Armistice of Purely Military Character Paris, Sept. 30.—The only statement thus far authorized is that Bulgaria has accepted the conditions which General Franchet D’Esperey present ed in the name of the Entente gov ernments. While the nature of the conditions is not announced an offi cial statement says: "No diplomatic negotiation is actually in progress j with Bulgaria and consequently nr. political conditions have been laid down for her.” With respect to the conditions of the armistice, it is add ed: "These conditions are of purely military character designed to guar antee in a complete manner the se curity of the liberty of allied arms in the Orient and to furnish every guarantee for the development of eventual pour purlers.” SUCCESSES OF BRITISH ARMS SINCE JULY 12 London, Sept. "0—Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer, speaking today at a meeting open ing the autumn war savings cam paign. said that since July 12 troops of the I ritish Empire had captured 1,000 square miles of territory, 250 villages and more than 120,000 Ger man prisoners. Defection Bulgaria After 3=Year Alliance With Teutons j Terms of Surrender Agreed to by “The Prussia of Balkans” j BULGAKS QUIT Paris, Sept. 30— An armistice lias been concluded between Bulgaria and the Allies on the Allies’ own terms. This announcement was made of* ficially today. Bulgarian representatives have agreed to an armistice—probably the firist step in Bulgaria's with drawal from the alliance with the Central Powers—a few days less than three years after she entered the war on the side of Germany. It was on Oct. 8. 1915. that Bulgaria issued a manifesto announcing her decision to cast her lot against the i :nte Alliance. She had betn 15 months in deciding her course. In the manifesto issued at the time of her entrance into the ranks of the belligerents, the Bulgarian govern ment declared that her trade inter ests and economic rights “wore in separably bound up with Turkey, Germany and Austria.” It was ad ded that Germany had offered Bul garia in return for her neutrality the whole of Macedonia, including Uskub. Monastic and Oehrida. A still greater territorial expansion at the expense of Serbia was said to have been offered ns a condition of active, military assistance. During the period of neutrality both the Entente Alliance and the Central Powers made offers to Bul garia. Russia, which for years had pro tected Bulgarian interests, sent an ultimatum to Bulgaria early in Oet vbeiu 1915. Bulgaria refused the P’j«nn demands. Tfi Bulgarian manifesto said that Bulgaria did not believe in the promises of the Entente and that "Bulgaria must fight at the victor s side It was reported at that time, and never denied authoritlvely. that a secret treaty had been signed be tween Bulgaria and Germany Con cerning Bulgarian participation in the war on July IT, 1915. Bulgarian troops invaded Serbia on Oct. 13. 1915. Her entrance into (Continued on Pago 4—-Column 7) m Suffrage Leaders Hopeful That President’s Influence Will Carry Weight in Senate I Washington, Sept 30—Under the: I weight of the president's influence advocates of the resolution were hopeful tonight of mustering the I necessary two-thirds, but leading j opponents were insistent that there i would be no defection from their ranks. Champions of the resolution say that they can safely count on 62 of the senators’ 36 votes or less than the requisite two-thirds majority. In, spile of this fact, chairman Jones of the suffrage committee planned to press for a final vote. Before the president left the Cap itol attack on the resolution from the Democratic sale began. Sen ator Underwood of Alabama told the Senate that the resolution’s adoption should not effect the result of the war because the war probably would be over befoe the proposed constitutional amendment would be come effective. Effort to be Made to Speed up on Production of Coal to Avert I Shortage tbe Coming Winter Washington, Sept. 30—To avert a j coal famine this winter and also meet all the needs of the war pro gram, fuel administrator Garfield j today launched a drive for coal pro j auction which is to continue until i April 1. In a proclamation to op i eratcrs and miners alike, the fuel administration calls upon all to en j list in a detailed program to pro duce 12,234,000 tons of bituminous coal and 2,030.000 tons of anthracite every week. This tonnage he phom ises. will give the country all the coal needed this winter. It repre sents a weekly increase of 1,731.000 tons of bituminous and 121,000 tons of anthracite over the weekly pro duction averages of the correspond ing period of a year ago. The in I crease in bituminous production called for is approximately sixteen and a half percent and in anthra cite six and one third percent. JURY SELECTED SECOND TRIAL MAX EASTMAN New York, Sept. 30.—A Jury was selected at the opening in the fed eral court here today, of the »ecocnd trial of MFai Eastman and others as- sociated with him in the publication j of the Masses, indicted on chrres of, conspiracy to obstruct the nation's military preparation. The Jury dis- j j agreed in the trial last spring. SURRENDER TERMS Ix>ndon, Sept. 30—The armistice concluded with Bulgaria by the en- j tente convention and contains no i provisions of a political character. Bulgaria agrees to evacuate all the! territory she now occupies in Greece I and Serbia, to demobilize her army j immediately and surrender all means; of transport to the allies. Bulgaria also will surrender her boats and control of navigation on the; i Danube and concede to the allies free p passage through Bulgaria for the de- I veloprr.ent of military operations. All Bulgarian arms and munitions j are to be stored under the control of the allies, to whom is conceded the right t ooccupy all important strate gic points. The Associated Press learns that] the military occupation of Bulgaria will be entrusted to British, French and Italian forces and the evacuated portions of Greece and Serbia re spectively to Greek and Serbian troops. i The armistice means a. complete j military surrender and Bulgaria I ceases to be a belligerent. All questions of territorial rear- rangtment in the Balkan as were; purposely omitted rrom the ccnven- j tion. Th" allies made no stipulation con- j rerning King Ferdinand his position1 being considered an internal matter—! one for the Bulgarians themselves to deal with—the armistice will remain j in operation until a final geneial peace is concluded.

Meanwhile the entente allied forces from Belgium to Ver dun on six battle fronts are registering victory after victory over the Teutonic arms, and the enemy front almost every where is crumbling, notwithstanding the desperate resistance that is being offered on various sectors. Seeing eventual defeat staring in the face through the swift progress of the Serbian, Italian, British, Greek and French troops in the reclaiming of Serbian and the invasion of Bul garian territory, the Bulgars begged for an armistice, reserv ing (o themselves no conditions. All the territory now held by King Ferdinand’s men is to be evacuated; the Bulgarian army is to immediately demobilize and all means of transport inside the kingdom even along the Danube is to be given over into allied hands. Thus in addition to the isolation of Turkey, the back door to a direct invasion of Austria-Hungary is flung wide open to the allies, and doubtless the time is not far distant when full advantage will be taken of the new avenue through which the enemy can be reached. With the debacle in Serbia and Bul garia complete, the Austro-Hungarians in Albania soon will be put to the test and when their evacuation to their own bor ders is accomplished the allies will have won an iron semi-cir cle about the central powers from the Black Sea to the North Sea. Viewing the situation in all its aspects—the success of the great offensive in Belgium and France, the blotting out of the war zone in the Balkans; the cutting off of the Turks from intercourse with Germany and Austria-Hungary, except by the long route through the Caucasus and Southern Russia, and the steady gains that are being made by the allies in making Russia once more a factor in the struggle—the dark est days of the war apparently are faced by the Austro-Gcr mans. Although it had been officially an nounced that hostilities against the Bulgarian ceased at noon Monday, the French otficiul communication of Monday night said that French cav alry had entered Uskub. one of the most important communication cen ters in Serbia, it is not improbable that the French are still hard after the Germans who art: known to have been fighting with the Bulgarians in this region, acting as rear guards. On all the sectors under attack from Belgian Flanders to the region of Verdun, the German lines are gradually bending back under the violence of the attacks of the British. Americans, French and Belgians. In Belgium the advance of the troops of King Albert and of Field Marshal Haig pierced so deeply eastward that Germany's submarine bases on the north sea are in jeopardy, through the impending cutting off the lines of communication behind them. The j famous Messines-Wytchaete ridge: has been captured and the allied guns i dominate the plains beyond.

From Cambroi to St. Quentin the British and Americans again huve delivered hard cussesses against the Berman positions all along the front, includ ing the remaining portions of the old Hindenburg line. The Germans here 'ire offering most strenuous resistance and in :i counter-attack compelled the British on one or two sectors to withdraw a slight distance. The British aro cleaning up the town of Cambrat, having penetrated its suburbs from the northwest and southwest. In the region of St. Quentin. where the Americans are lighting, the Hinden burg line has been cut and penetrat ed to a depth of three, miles on a front of (‘ght miles. f In conjunction with the operations of the French northeast of Soisson*. the Germans have begun the evacu ation of the t.’hemin Dcs Dames and the French now hold hnlf of this fa mous position. Likewise there is an indication that the enemy intends to give up the remaining positions held -by h’m along the Vesle to Bheims. In Champagne the French troops west of the Argonne forest every where are pressing forward and like wise to the east of this position the Americans are moving northward In unison. Already the big forest Is vir tually outflanked and apparently soon will be m.'»de a part of the Franco Americau line. From the St. Mihtel sector the Amnr'cuns arc heavily bombing enemy troop trains which are being rushed to the front.

A Statement Owing to the persistent agitation regarding the epidemic of so-called influenza which is sweeping some parts of Massachusetts and southern Maine the public is entitled to a statement from its local Board of Health. Some inquiry has been made as to why the public schools have not been ordered closed. In repiy to this question I would say that after talking with the State Department of Health and acting on their ad vice it would seem a very foolish act to do such a thing. The condi tions in the surrounding towns do not warrant drastic action. In our own city there are no apparent in fantile afflictions whatever. Dr. Beane reports a few severe colds hut no Spanish influenza. Dr. Nut ting reports about twenty cases of what might be a form of influenza and no severe ones at that. Dr. Mil liken reports some four or five cases of grip that might be a form of in fluenza. Such being the reports from the local physicians. The se vere colds now prevalent about the city are not the same disease which has the training camps and parts of New England so firmly in its grasp. We would suggest however that parents whose children have severe colds should be kept from school for a longer period of time; also that they should be kept away from oth er children and from the theatres and other crowded places. If parents would he more careful that their children during any epi demic of any nature would return directly to their respective homes in stead of going to play after school hours with other children who might bo of a family having some contag ious disease about them. It would serve to lessen the spreading of dis ease in general. Fear holds many in Its grasp. Fol low the rules of natural hygene, pay*1 Bell-ans Absolutely Removes Indigestion. Druggists refund money if it fails. 25c tu-sat i less attention to the talk of the alarmist, and with good weather the present epidemic will be overcome.

I MARSHAL FOCH’S FIVE BATTLES— HISTORY’S RECORD Paris. Sept. 80—Maohal Foch is fighting five battles t multaneously and successfully—a feat unparalleled iii the history of war. General Grant's idea of continuous concuirent attack by a multiplicity of forces on many fronts is being real ized by the allied generalissimo. Therefore five battles today—there may be more tomorrow, all inter-re lated and working as smoothly as the cylinders of a well adjusted au tomobile engine. All are directed to the same end—to wear down trie en emy’s strength. Marshal Foch alone knows when the allies will strike tiij decisive blow. The enemy is still fighting well. He is still offering splendid resistance west of the Ar gonne, but how long can he keep it up? Expert commentators agree that the enemys withdrawal to a shorter line, probably of Antwerp. Brussels, Mezieres tnd Metz, is imminent. Some believe he has hung on too long and that he will have great difficulty in preventing his retreat from de generating into a rout. An examination of one section of the 22-mile front on which General Gouraud is attacking in the Cham pagne will give an idea of the Ger man wastage. On the eve of the at tack General Ludendorff, feeling un easy. reinforced the defenders with two or three divisions. Thus 12 or IS divisions have been used us on a front of 22 miles only. From this the speed at which the German strength is being whittled away easily may be calculated. The soberest and most conserva tive observers here consider that yes terday marked the first step in the decisive phase of the war. The Bel gians are close to Koulers; the Brit ish, marching up the Lys, will out flank Lille; the Siefried line is going to pieces at two vital points, namely Carbrai and St. Quentin, the fall of which places is considered a ques tion of hours; Le Catelot. the central pillar f the Hindenburg system, is outflanked: General Mangin is driv ing the enemy north of the Chemin Dcs-Dames; General Gourau is at the gates of Challerangc on his way to Vouziers, the key to the lateral railroad communications of the Ger mans. Moreover, during the last week the allies on the western front have taken more than 50,000 prisoners.

Swift, for the purpose of as rertalnlng how serious the influenza situation Is in the city and of con sidering the proper measures to pre vent the prevailing influenzn epi demlr from getting a hold In Augus ts The matter was Informally dls i ussed and reports were given by the physicians, business men and school authorities. There waa a large attendance. As a result of the meeting the fol lowing resolution. Introduced by Dr. Sylvester J Beach, was passed un animously "It Is the sense of this meeting that the matter of closing schools and public meeting places should be left to the I.oo*l Board of Health and Health officer. In consultation with the State Department of Health.'’ It was brought out In the reports of the physicians that there are com paratively few cases of influenza .In this city, and the point was made at the meeting that the present dan ger Is slight in the community and lK would not he lessened by a gen rrM closing up of all business plac es MB A meeting places. Although the State law does not compel the reporting of this disease, the phy sicians all expressed a willingness and desire to report every ease to the local hoard of health. Dr. A O.

Another point made was that while the patients stricken with this disease 1 will, for the most part, be confined to their homes, it is during the convales cence, when they are getting about, that they become a menace to the commu nity. It was advocated that the sweeping of factories and stores should be done at hours when the workers are not em ployed and that for the sweeping it is necessary to use sawdust with a disin fectant solution, such ns is being used for this purpose in the public schools In the city. Under advice of the board of health and the physicians present the superin tendent of schools will exclude from school all children coming from homes where influenza is present, and all chil dren who have been absent on account of illness until they present a state ment that they are free from the disease and are not In a condition to transmit it. .Vo child with a manifest cold, sneeze or cough will be permitted to attend school.

Influenza An epidemic of Spanish influenza or grippe is prevalent throughout the country. There are very few cases so far in Auburn of Lewiston, but I certain precautions are necessary in 1 order to ward off this plague. This disease develops in from one to four days after exposure. Nearly everyone is susceptible to infection but some germs are mild. These J mild cases are just as dangerous as the severe ones in spreading germs. I Transmission Secretions from 1 1 nose, throat and air passages carry these germs. There is little danger of contagion in the open air except in close contact with an infected per son. The most common sources of infection are coughing, sneezing and using in common: towels, handker chiefs, eating and drinking utensils, I and school books and pencils. Symptoms—Common symptobs are a chill followed by headache, back- nihe and pains in the limbs, redden ing and running of the eyes and gen eral weakness, with fever. These symptoms vary and follow closely those of a severe cold. Don’ti l—Don’t make unnecessary visits to public places. 2— Don’t travel in closed, crowded street cars when you can walk. 3— Don't spit on floors, sidewalks, streets or cars. 4— Don’t visit or greet cordially any j person showing symptoms of a cold or grippe. j 5— Don't use common drinking 1 cups, towels or any thing else used .in common. •—Don’t permit elderly persons or children to come In contact with any case of the grippe, however mild. 1— Don't allow yourself or any mem ber of your household. If they have se vere colds, to attend school, church, theatres or public gatherings. Suggestions—In case of severe colds or grippe: 1—Call doctor if possible. 3—Give patient a separate room, well ventilated but not too cold. 3—Blow tho noae on soft paper or cot ton cloth and burn. Handkerchief, if used, should not be thrown with other clothes but should be boiled at once. 4—Hold handkerchief before face when coughing: or sneezing. S Persons attending cases should avoid inhaling breath of patients. 6—The attendants' hands should re ceive careful and prolonged washing, as well as handkerchiefs and' bedding should be boiled.

Varney, pastor of the Methodist church, and all joined in sing ing “America Three cheers were given over the nows of the armistice concluded by Bulgaria and the Allies. Prin. John A. Partridge, the presiding officer, spoke a few wo-ds in praise of L tut. Clark, who was one of the speakers Sunday evening. Lieut. Clark gave a short address to urge the citi zens in backing the boys who are in the firing line. He said it is up to the boys to crush Prussian militarism and they are going to do it. Cheers were then given for Lieut. Clark and the Princess Pat Regiment, of which Lieut. Clark was a member. The principal speaker was Hon. Fred Clair of Waterville. He said that the people of America are called •'lighting crazy" over the war, that we went into it to maintain our self-respect, and we are going to fight until we lick those fellows to a finish. He named the things necessary to car ry on this war, namely: Food, ships, ammunition, men, money and the strongest of all “the will to conquer."

Sept. 20.—Reports of the progress of the Fourth Liberty I.oan received tonight at the treasury -were encouraging but wore not supported by definite figures, and olficials said it j would be about two days before any i official totals are available. Apparently the flood of subscriptions in the first two days came mainly from big business interests in large cafes and a better showing is expected later in the week as a result of smaller popular pledges. From Baltimore came word that more thpn J40.CO0.O00 had been subscribed, or more than was raised during the whole third loan. The second day’s business in N’ew Tork was good, but pledges sup ported by the initial payments repre sented only a small part of the sub scriptions actually gathered in. There, as elsewhere, official cognizance will be taken of subscriptions only after 10 per cent, has been paid into a bank and re ported to federal reserve district head quarters. In Iowa two-thirds of the counties have over-subscribed and won the Fourth Liberty Loan flag, according to a message from that state. The penin sula of Michigan has raised more than its quota and in the Minneapolis dis trict 3$ counties have over-subscribed. "Indications generally are that sub scriptions now are larger than they were in the first two weeks of previous loans." says a message tonight from San Francisco. In Utah 31,000 subscriptions have been taken and eight honor flags claimed. Idaho reported that seven counties have exceeded their quotas; in Washington two counties and four cities; in. Califor nia two counties and a dozen towns. Subscriptions totalling $41,000,000 tor Boston and vicinity were reported in the New Kngland district. The total amount for the entire district doubtless Is much above this amount, as no reports have been received from either Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire or Vermont. Saline county, Kansas, was claiming a record tonight because every city, vil lage and precinct within its borders had made 10Q per cent, subscription. Vinita. Oklahoma, claims the right to name the first ship of the emergency fleet corpor ation to be christened under the Liberty Loan contest plan. These contests will not be decided until the loan is over. Among other communities exceeding their quotas, according to late repflrts, is Skowhegan, Maine. The principal feature of the loon cam paign in Washington today consisted of concerts of the Great Lakes Naval band led by John Philip Sousa.

Column 6) the war led to the overrunning of: Serbia, Montenegro and Albania by the armies of the Central Powers. Bulgaria joining the Centra) Powers was one of the reasons that .led Ru-j mania to enter the war on the side of the Entente late in August. 1016. j The population of Bulgaria was not unanimously in favor of Bui- j garia joining the Teutonic Alliance. The government took harslt mens- 1 ures against, those opposed to the war and friendly to the Entente. Late in 1917 reports were current that the military party in Bulgaria was being faced by increasing op position. Premier RadoslavofT, w;ho was re puted to be under the sway ..f Ber lin. was compelled to retire Inst June and his place was taken by M. Sla linoff, a Russopbile, who had been friendly to the Entente before Bul garia entered the war. King Ferdi nand on tlie plea of ill health, spent the greater part of last summer in Germany. On Sept. 14 Franco-Serbian forces atlacked tbe German-Bulgarian line in Macedonia east of Monastlr. Breaking through, the allied troops rapidly advanced northward, driving a wedge between the wings of the German-Bulgarian front. Bulgarian was invaded by British troops at a point north of Saloniki and on Sept. 27. General Franchet D’Espercy. the allied generalissimo, announced that he had received from j from the Bulgarian government a proposal that military operati <ns be suspended pending negotiations for an armistice. It is probable that the armistice, calls for the occupation of Bulgarin by the allies with the assistance of the Bulgarian government. Bulga ria probably will be compelled to break off all communications with the Central Powers and also with draw h erarmies from Serbia, Greece, Rumania and other wartheaters. Before the allied troops can ccupy Bulgaria, it is likoly that the Bul garian military party and Germany and Austria will make determined ef forts to keep Bulgaria in the Teu tonic alliance, because the secession of Bulgaria would mean the collapse of German aims in Turkey and the Near East, the probable elim'nation of Turkey from the war and the re ■conslruotlon of the eastern front with Rumania taking a leading rart. Through Switzerland it was re ported Sunday that German 'roops. \\-ere being withdrawn from Ruma nia. They probably arc being moved across the frontier into Bulgaria. Germany will probably make i a j strong attempt to keep control of I the railroad from Berlin to Constan tinople. which runs through Sofia. Bulgaria's withdrawal from the Central Powers would free Serbia and the southern bank of the Danube, from whiph the allied troops could advance into Austria-Hungary, where the political and economic situation has been causing the government much trouble. From the allied stand point the occupation of Bulgaria by allied soldiers probably would mean more than the defection of Russia has meant. There is a strong pro-Entente p»r ty in Bulgaria and the opportunity may be seized for a revolt against the Honhenzollern dynasty headed by King Ferdinand. CHOLERA BREAKS OUT IN BERLIN Basel. Switzerland, Sept. 30—Chol era has broken out in Berlin, accord ing to advices received here. There have been seven cases, of which six were fatal.

The Sure Drift of Events Driving five big battles all at once, covering a frontage of hundreds of miles, all successfully every day, Is the present effort of the United States and the entente allies—and the grand smash is yet to come, and may come at any hour. The biggest thing In sight for those watching the tremendous movie of war, is German wastage. Allied commanders are gloating hourly over the evidences that come to hand of rapid decline of central allied strength as a result of the desperate reslstcncc still maintained. As a specimen of this Indication French experts point out that 12 or 13 divi sions have been used up by the Ger mans in defending a 22-mile front in Champagne. To the heavy casualties of the Teuton allies are added the prisoners taken numbering more than 100,000 In a week, with nearly 1000 big guns. And then comes the probable breaking of Bulgaria, her withdraw al from the central or quadruple alli ance, occupation of Bulgaria by the allies, German occupation of Rou mania forced out, the cutting off of Turkey from her allies, followed by her surrender or withdrawal from the central alliance, leaving Serbia and Roumania full opportunity to join the forces of the entente allies in tak ing sweet revenge in Austria-Hun gary. Verily, the darkest hour In the life of 1’russianism, as well as in the life of Hohenxollernism and Ilapsburg lsm, has struck. I.et them ‘’hold out,” if they wish, for the longer they hold out the shorter will be the ceremony at the ending. Indeed the Teuton armies on the west front have already held out too long, military experts suggest, and may suffer rout when they at tempt to pull out from situations that each hour are becoming more diffi cult. At no point are the Germans strong enough to withhold the allied thrusts. At every point for two and a half months they have been hurled back. At no point have they been able to concentrate sufficient forces to stay the allied advance, and all along the west front their rear guard action has cost them dear In men and arms—at tempting to save men and material while lighting. There is the terrible wastage that Is bringing the career of the Hun war master rapidly to an end. The reckless waste of massed gun fodder In the spring ■drive'' of Iliudenburg, has been followed by the masterly man-saving policy of Foch until the Teuton power is reduced far below Glut of last March, while the allied strength has been greatly increased, i perhaps almost doubled. The Turkish army has been crip pled beyond repair, even could Ger many and Austria send her aid and Bulgaria were to remain active. With Bulgaria and Turkey out of it, Itou- mania and Serbia in it and equipped j and aided by the allies, the outlook is pretty dark for Austria-Hungary, j herself clamoring for peace and un der pressure of a probable revolt that nmy come at any moment. Alter all. these tilings may help to wavQ the lace of the German govern ment when it turns to its people with: "Our allies have forsaken us, Russia! is again turning against us, we arc hungry and war material has reached a ciitical tcarcity—we cannot fight the world alone." The German people may us well be gin to accustom themselves to the effect of tliis tragic announcement Uoin their imperial government as the end of their dream of loot and world domination. Sav* at Vant, Wait* at Bung! The first letter opened Monday morning. Sept. 30. happened to be from the American Newspaper Pub lishers Association sending out a l-ulletin carrying a government or der reducing wrapping. This order from the “War Industries Board" di rects every retnil store to discontin ue unnecessary wrapping of merchan dise and to reduce consumotion of wrapping paper, bags, paper boxes. «nice stationery, etc. The co-operation of the public Is unted upon in this ruling, and without the shadow of a doubt the public will enter heartily into the pirit of this necessary conservation. There can be no question of the need f this requested saving where great aste Is undeniable. Paper has been cheap snd plentiful everywhere; life has been too short to "wa^te time" in ssriaaiL Wo* eondltlonbare changed and we may aee \he day when indi vidual “time" will not be eo valuable that any waste of essentials can be indulged, however cheap the article. A wasteful world is getting its les son. Portions of the “War Industries Board” ruling (stripped of useless words, cumbersome and meaningless expressions and waste of space and paper—the bulletin is 22 in. long by 8 1-4 in. wide)—are helpful and snouic be largely followed. As to saving wrapping paper the following recom mendations are given: 1. Do not use more paper than neces sary to wrap merchandise. 2. Do not use heavier paper than nec t sary. Consult your paper dealer as to the most serviceable and economical grade. 3. Use the old paper taken from par cels delivered to you. 4. Use newspapers when possible. A considerable saving in paper bags can be made by the following methods: 1. Reduce the number of sizes of bags to as few as possible. 2. Don't use a larger size than neces sary. 3. Don’t use bags for vegetables and other articles if customers bring market baskets. Grocers should urge the use of the market basket. Tour consumption of office stationery can be reduced by the following meth ods: 1. Use lighter weight paper and small er size envelopes. 2. Write on both sides of the paper for long letters. 3. Use 4 and sheets of correspond ence paper for short letters. 4. Use the backs of letters for car bons. 5. Make use of spoiled sheets and backs of envelopes for scratch pads. Keep the Pulp and Paper Section of the War Industries Board advised re garding the steps you are taking, meth ods used, and any further suggestions as to how paper can be saved in Retail stores. .All of which is very good, except wasting more than you save by writ ing the Pulp and Paper section of the "War Industries Board to tell them what you have done, how you are do ing it, and giving them your address so that you may be bombarded with letters from another score of materi al-wasting clerks in Washington. By that we refer to the unforgivcable waste of material and labor in bu reauized Washington these days. As an example, the Kennebec Jour nal received eight identical commu nications from a government depart ment in one day last week. It would seem that one would have been suf ficient. But that was not all, for in the case of employes of the firm three similar communications were receiv ed by one individual. Various departments, including the War Industries Board, are asking for suggestions as to methods of saving; we offer this one: Cut out the busi ness of collecting addresses for the political uses of George Creel and others; discharge a great number of clerks and stenographers now used for that purpose, that they may be used in productive industries, and thus reduce some of the duplication of millions of entirely useless com munications now flooding the mails and wasting the paper stock of the country, and burdening the railroads, where coal and provisions should have more tonnage. As a first step, while recommending saving of office stationery, let the War Industries Board take some of its own medicine. Instead of a sheet like the one at hand, let it reduce such bulletin to one-fourth its size and, instead of a ten-inch envelope, use a 5 1-2. Here is another: From the War De partment wo received this morning identical letters on training camp ac tivities. The addresses were identical as were the hours of mailing—"5 P. M., Sept. 27, Washington, D. C., War Dep!. Sta.” In this instance 11-inch envelopes were used, and the enclosure could easily have been placed in a G-inch envelope, or even a 5-inch. Why this waste among the saving preachers? Why the waste of labor in sending more than one? Why use six 'imes as much material as necessary to send nothing but pure publicity matter to the Kennebec Journal and. quite probably, to thousands of other news papers—something, under present space-restricted conditions, we all throw in the waste basket? In the same mail we received three large .and impressive looking letters from the Agricultural Department, two of them identical as to hour of mailing, address and index mark: “I B C—1.” In these days of govern ment-restricted news columns, all were useless to us and to thousands of other newspapers. All should be paid for as advertising. All will be rehashed and sent to us again and again fn scores of other franked en elopes front tlie State food or fuel administrator and then from county and local boards. All arc thrown promptly in the waste-basket, as all are sent direct to the parties affected by «-uc'n orders and recommendations, and mr.underings by uselessly em ployed persons trying to prove an ex cuse for their jobs. All are on unnec BRONCHIAL ASTHMA Mrs. Graf Says Vinol Cured Her Darlington, Pa.—"I suffered from bronchial Asthma at, badly I would often have to sit up half of the night or lean over the ack of a chair, and so weak I could hardly walk across the floor.

Why this waste, while the W. I. B. is telling grocers how to save paper? The other letter from the Agri. Dept, was a large sheet telling "What the Agricultural Department Is Do ing.” In the same mail were two letters from the Federal Food Administra tion, three from the Treasury Depart ment, one from the Department cf Commerce, one from the Department of Labor, one from the Department of the Interior, one from the U. S. Rail road Administration, W. G. McAdoo director general. All these are from various depart ments of the government, and to these are added about a bushel of publicity begging letters from vari ous business interests (moving pic tures, automobile makers and sellers, American Sugar Trust, beef trust, New England Fish Exchange, Petro leum boomers, etc, etc.) and lrom all kinds of philanthropic, relief and war work organizations, including Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., K. of C., American Defense Society, National Security League and a half dozen letters of various ‘‘Official Bulletin Services” from Italian. Russian and Far East bureaus in New York. Talk about waste of paper! Not one-thousandth part cf this mass of truck ever secs a printed page or is worthy of it, or is even reliable in formation. Much of it is biased by selfish purpose and deserves what it gets—the waste basket. Much of it is interesting and much would be used by newspapers if they had space for more than vital news. The government itself is the worst offender and wastes tons of paper daily in accomplishing savings of pounds. The savings brought about in all manner of waste are magnificent for the people, but why do government departments indulge all the old wasteful practices and increase them a hundred fold while lampooning the public to save. Newspapers cannot hire extra clerks to read all the rot now encum bering the mails. Most of it receives not a glance. Its character is known at a glance—same old space-begging stuff; somebody (Uncle Sam with the rest) wants something for nothing. The newspapers are expected to give it at the same time jthey are restrict ed in news space by government de cree. If we were to make a suggestion that would appeal to the heart of ev ery publisher, and ought to be adopt ed by every publisher, until *he de partments of government and all their 1001 bureaus and branches, and about a million other space beggers wake up, we should recommend that: No communication from any pub licity bureau, department advertising scheme, or other known space-beg ging organization shall receive atten tion in a newspaper office unless stamped on the wrapper, “Paid Ad vertising." The prohibition should extend dur ing the war. Let newspapers collect what they want of the "news” in this mass of stuff so enormously wasted. If you ask about the meritorious campaigns like war loans. Red Cross and the like, we answer you with the organizations perfected for that pur pose. They are sufficient and they deal with the Newspapers direct and in a practical way—all the other de partmental advertising of individuals, and address collecting schemes are waste. Cut it all out! Do we need to tell you what it is our boys in France say they are going to knock out of Wilhelm?—Boston Globe. No, indeed! Of course not. The fcoys are probably promising to knock the will out of Wilhelm. We are not so greatly interested in whether or not you have purchased a bond today as we are to know if you have induced somebody else to buy. Wonder what the Turks say when they want to exclaim ‘•Kamared!'’— Bid deford Journal. The turks mother used to raise said “quit! quit!” Every day some newspaper writer indulges in: “If Germany’s enemies do not weaken.” t That makes us tired! Maine Gossip Line Up! It ain't the guns, nor armament. Nor funds that they can pay, But the close co-operation That makes them win the day. It ain't the individuals Nor the army as a whole But the everlaatin’ team work Ov every bloomin’ soul. -Rudyard Kipling. For 50 years Capt. William W. Whit marsh and his good wife of Norway, have journeyed through life side by side, the half century mark being reached Sept. 22d. No formal reception was held, but their beautiful home on Bridge street was open for the day and over 100 friends called to offer congratu lations. Their daughter and her hus band, Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Sampson, and the only brother of the "50 years young bride," with his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Charles G. Blake, assisted in re ceiving. Ices and fancy crackers were served. Lovely bouquets of flowers, gifts of friends, adorned the home. The "bride" wore a soft silken gown of lav ender and with her fresh fair face crowned with snow-white hair, standing amid the various colored blossoms she made a picture which will not soon be forgotten by her many friends. Seated in his easy chair, the captain chatted gaily with the guests. The conversation readily centered on the vital topic of the war in which the captain is intensely in terested, following eagerly the daily re ports rf the progress of the allies. He paid a high tribute to General Pershing, considering him the greatest general of modern times—greater than General Grant under whom the captain served in the Civil War. Miss Florence L. Nve of Boston, for merly of the Lewiston Journal, has been granted a leave of absence by The Play ers to take up work in a new depart ment created by the federal government for the duration of the war. This de partment is called the Department of Social Hygiene and is concerned with reformation work among girls. Miss Nye's territory will be New England. Caroline Colvin, professor of history at the U. of M., has been appointed by the government to have charge of the work and Miss Nye will act as her assistant. The position entails the reaching of all women's clubs and organizations throughout the country. Miss Nye's friends are much pleased that she has been called to so important a war work. F. G. Wadsworth, formerly of San ford, has been appointed to a position in Washington. lie was for five years superintendent of schools in towns and cities of Maine, and three years agent for elementary schools under the State Board of Education in Massachusetts. For the past year he has been educa tional secretary of the Nassatt-Suffolk Counties Young Men's Christian Asso ciation in New York. Oakland Park, the beautiful summer playground four mile3 from Rockland, conducted by the Rockland, Thomaston Camden Street Railway, was visited by more people this summer than in any previous season of its history. Sta tistics compiled this week show, how ever, that the number of trolley fares was 2000 loss than two years ago. In consequence of this showing tolls win be charged for automobiles in the fu ture, and a first-class road will be buiit for the convenience of the motor cars. A movement is on foot among the Masons of Lewiston and Auburn to form a Masonic club, to occupy the rooms re cently vacated by t'ae Waseca Club, which was forced by the removal of so many members by the draft to go out of existence. Between 200 and 250 Masons have already signified their intention of becking such a club, and a meeting will probably be held the. coming week to perfect the organization. President Robert J. Aley of the Uni versity of Maine, stated Saturday that no more applications for the students army training corps at the University can be accepted. The university is now filled to its capacity with students and it is impossible to take any more. Manager J. P.

Take it Today. PHYSICALLY FIT AT ANY AGE It isn’t age, it’s careless living that puts men "down and cut." Keep your internal organs in good condition and you will always be physically fit. Watch the kidneys. The kidneys are the most overworked organs in the human body. When they break down under the strain and the deadly uric acid accumulates and crys talizes, look out! These sharp crystals tear and scratch the delicate urinary channels causing excrutiating pain and set up irritations which may cause pre mature degeneration and often do turn into deadly Bright's Disease. One of the first warnings of sluggish kidney action is pain or stiffness in the small of the back, high colored or scanty urine, loss of appetite, indiges tion or rheumatism. Do not wait until the danger is upon you. At -the first indication of trouble go after the cause at once. Go to your druggist immediately. Get a trial box of GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil Cap sules, imported direct from the labora tories in Holland, where they have been in use for over two hundred years. They will give almost instant relief. If for any cause they should not, your money will be refunded. But be sure to get GOLD MEDAL. None other is genuine. In sealed boxes, three sizes.— Adv. peach stones. There was no prelimi nary advertising, but before 2 o’clock the manager had nearly two bushels of stones and the kids were still coming strong. The war tax of one cent was cheerfully paid by the youngsters and their count of stones were taken with out question as they dumpqd them into the box at the entrance. The many friends living in Biddeford and at Biddeford Pool will be interested to know that Mrs. Elizabeth Craig of Malden, Mass and formerly of Bidde ford, was &4 years old Monday, and that •at the present time she is enjoying good health and getting much pleasure out of life. Mrs. Craig's health has been wonderfully preserved. She has had a number of severe illnesses within the past few years, but is able to get about the house and largely to care for her self. She rcad3, writes, sews and knits and receives her friends who call with the greatest pleasure. SOLDIER BOYS To Private Joseph A. Cormier, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Cormier of 16 Pike street, Biddeford, is given the distinc tion and glory of being the first Bidde ford or Saco boy in the service to win the Distinguished Service Cross. Sine* he went across to fight the Huns, Pri vate Cormier has distinguished himself for bravery on a number of occasions, winning praise of his commanders for his courage, but it remained for the en gagement near La Sacarine Farm on the French front on July 23 last to af ford him an opportunity to show his heroism, which he did under circum stances to merit his decoration with the Distinguished Service Cross. The news of this Biddeford boy's brilliant accom- plishment, which brings glory to Bidde ford and the entire State of Maine, was brought in a letter received by hi3 father from Lieut. Donald F. McGrew of the 103d Infantry, C7lh MM Battery, Private Cormier's commanding officer. I'lmnaiiumg wie American lorces m Italy is a former Maine man, Major General Charles Gould Treat. General Treat, who for seven years was aid to General Howard at Governor's Island, was born in Orono, 5S yearn ago. lie is the son of the Hon. .1. B. Treat, now of Monroe, Wis. He was graduated from West Point in 1SS2, and six months ago he went to Hurope, assigned to the high command of the troops of the United States of America in Italy. Upon Gen eral Treat s arrival in Italy, he was per sonally welcomed by the king of Italy and by General Diaz. His letter, the first his father received, was censored by the general himself, and gave an ac count of how Italy in her hour of stress welcomed a soldier of the United States. This letter was on the way from Italy to Wisconsin for 40 days. General Treat is a cousin of George B. Gould of the Rincs Company of Bangor, and his fath er, the Hon. J. B. Treat, is now revUit ing his native State and is Mr. Gould’s gues£ in Orono. Hath Times—Lieut. Loyal Sewall, son of Hon. a*nd Mrs. Harold M. Sew all of Hath, is in the tank service abroad and was probably in recent battles in charge of a tank. This young officer, it will bo recalled, was among the first who considered it his duty to volunteer some two years ago and after serving acceptably in tho ambulance service, returned for a visit home and then went to Plattsburg. from which school of in struction lie accompanied the troops abroad as a lieutenant of infantry. When the call for tank volunteers I was made, young Sewall offered his j services and was given charge of one i of the tanks. In a recent letter home, j he wrote of the tank division to which he was attached being re viewed by Gen. Pershing. His father says that, although he has not heard i from his son as yet, he thinks the j probabilities are that Loyal’s tank was in the recent battles. STUDENT CORPS ASSEMBLES OCT. 1 Orono, Me..

This will be a demonstration of the high ideals and far-reaching aims of the National Students' Army Training Corps. OUR BOYS OHR COUNTRY’S SERVICE

The following letter was received by Mrs. Mary A. Small of Bowdoin from her sister, Mrs. Margaret Cald well of Brookline, Mass., who for the past year is a Red Cross Canteen worker in France: Somewhere in France, July 22, 1918. Dear Sister: Your letter was so welcome yester- day. We have been driven very hard with work since the last two “drives.” I March 21, and May 28th. For 28 nights in May we were not undressed to go to bed, but had to run to caves for shelter from air-raides. It was hard to have no sleep at night and work all day, but the work is great. There is nothing like the morale of the French people. I was in Paris on Red Cross business the first day that the long range gun shot and I must confess it gave me a shiver, but the French people just go on their way. Germany could not win the war that way in a hundred years. After being nearly seven months at a French canteen I am now at an American canteen. We get mostly shell shocked boys who want to just rest and forget for a little while, but just as soon as they feel a little better all are anxious to get back to the fiont. The other day we had 35 of the ma rines who are a wonderful (Tot. They held all ground at Chateau-Thierry. One, a young lawyer from New York, said he only longed to get back to the fighting line. He told us some won derful tales of bravery which I can not write, but will tell you. The work is simply staggering over here and when my six months were up on June 7, I signed for three months longer a the Red Cross were so anx ious to keep their old workers, as new ones are not coming until fall on ac count of using the space on ships for troops. Expect to go home in October and hope to work in an hospital if our wounded boys are being brought back as that is the work I really fitted for at the Peter Brent Brigham hospital in Boston, but was sent here because I could speak the French language. I I think of you often and wish I could see you, but am sure you would want me to help to my last bit of strength could you see the train-loads of wounded and rrfugees in the roads day and night. Old people in wheel chairs trying to get away. Had a letter from Harold but don’t know where he is as we cannot tell each other, but I hope to meet him at Paris or some place convenient to his camp, but of course that's only hop ing, for our boys have only just got into the war, so I don't imagine there will be holidays for them for a long time. Have muc:-. to tell you that I am forbidden to write. Love to all, MARGARET. Camp Colt, Tank Corps, Gettys burg, Pa, Sept. 19, 1018. Franklin Pierce, Bowdoinham, Me. Dear Brother: I am in the one big thing in the army and believe me I feel some proud. The Tank Corps is rated as the highest in the army, about four points above the Aviation. It is the stiffest in the whole outfit. Every man is picked and the discipline is sure some stiff, but that is what makes it so good. I do not want you to think I am getting fat headed but that is what they drill in U3 every day, and when you see a Tank Corps man, you sure will see a man's man and a real soldier. ell Bert, it is sure some funny for me to bo camping on the same bat tlefield that father fought on and where he got his wound, being pre pared for the greatest war in history. I am camping on what is called Little Round Top, you most likely have read about it. In the woods right behind the camp is where Gen. Tickett made his famous charge. In the field across the road is a big monument erected by the State of Maine for the 2d Maine. I was sure some pleased when I got the charge to come here. I am getting in fine shape as they give us plenty of drill and the feed is great. You do not need anything to kid your appetite along. I just drew my new outfit today. Every man has three from head to feet. The clothes are the best and believe me they sure make them fit. We have an inspec tion every night and every man must pass or to the woodpile for him. His clothes must fit and be pressed. I hope you will find time to write as you cannot realize what a letter means to us. My love to the family. Your brother RALPH.
