Llj e SMfltoifct Sourtml VOLUME XX. 25,000 TURKS CAPTURED AND 40,000 TRAPPED HUNS REPORTED EVACUATING CAKWAI BULGARS AND GERMANS IN DISORDERLY REIpT ' WOMEN TO REPLACE MEN IN PLACES NOT ESSENTIAL TO WAR ■ Each Board Will Soon Publish Lists of Industries in Com munity Where Woik Can Be Done by Women WASHINGTON. Sep; 33 —Machinery designed to force men out of non-es sential employment and muster women vs the nation to take their places was put in motion today by I.VOv community tabor boards reach.ng into every section of the country. The boards are acting under detailed instructions from the government work ing through the United StAtes employ ment service. Each board will .-oon publish lists of industries in its locality in which men should be replaced by women. The lists will be based on surveys of ail in dustrial plants in each board s district. The surveys will be minute. Each job will be studied to determine whether a woman should nl* it.- Power of Employment Publication of the lists is expecteu to cause employers to comply and sub stitute women as a result of the moral pressure thus exerted. Where moral pressure fails, stroncr measures may be undertaken. The employment service, working through *he war industries board, has power t oshut off the supply of raw tnaterialsq£-om any plant. This move is a result of the enlarged army program under which 4,«0').0db man will be sent to Erance by neat June. ; It is expected to weed out of non-es sentia! employment every man in the nation. The corollary Is the probable induction of hundreds of thousands of women not only into non-essential war industries but into munition factories as well. Officials say the number of women may run into rftllions. The womgn are imperatively neeoed to in sure an adequate supply of material and munitions to the lighting men in France. Because of the nation-wide labor shortage, the munition program faces serious delay This is made plain tn the instructions to local boards sent out by the employment service. "To the extent that we fall behind in the supply of material, we shall have •» make up the deficit ’rom the living bodies of our young men.’’ read the in structions "This is i:ot rhetoric. I; ;s precise < old military calculations. "As soon as the facts are realized, Americans in going to cease carrying on business as usual and swarm into war work.” x ‘■Xoa-Esaennal” The use of the term of "non-essential employment ',in the instructions to cora munity board- has a special signifi cance Although a man is working in a munition factory and even is making shells he still may be classified as a •non-essential worker” This will oc cur when the community board’s sur vey shows that man’s job can and -hould be filled by a woman. The program then, really means the women of the nation are to be muster ed to help turn cut the shells with which our so’dters wiy blast tneir path toward Berlin V in making the surveys, the beard will emphasis on th** job z;td not. on the industry as a whole. The employment service whieh now has a corner on all employment in the United States will assume reoponsibil tty for listing and iillinp with women the jobs which its community boards pass on. Every precaution will te taken to _-K«ard the health and safety of the wom en workers. Two women members will be added to the personnel of each ccm monity board Boards are composed of representatives of both employers and employes. a— — — Machine Guns at Police Stations, Result of Riot NORFOLK.

Fronts and in Eastern Theaters All Part of Comprehensive Plan. Turkey s Dooi/ Sealed WASHINGTON. Sept. C“. Shot and shell and mat.-power are enforcing ir. • advance some of the allied terms of the ■ reace taole. Til s meaning was placed here today ’ey war authorities on the trend of , some of the recent allied lighting. And tiiis development is destined to become more marked as the days pass, say the ’ authorities. Alsace-Lorraine, wrested from France in 18'0. will be returned by force of : arms. Deigium appears destined to be freed. Turkey, in Europe, will be shoved out of civilized company and forced back to Asia. A neutralized Bjspho-us and Dardanelles will give free passage for Russia and other craft into and out of the Black sea. And. whai is perhaps as important as anything will be the treeing of mill ons of Slavic people Ifrcm the galling yoke of Austria-Hun gary Force in East. Too "Force without stint’’ is to be applied ! not alone on the west front but in the 1 theaters of the east. And while General March, chief of staff, and other war leaders insist that victory will come on the west front, it is quite evident now that the allied strategy and diplomacy proposes to have the eastern situation in such shape that enforcement of allied-Amer - ean terms be mainly a matter o' asking and receiving. The American drive for Conflans and • Metz will tear out of Teuton himds the control of rich mine districts and will free Alsace-Lorraine. When that move - develops to its height, the retirement of the tierman toward his own border farther north will be a pressing neces sity. This will mark the beginning of freedom for Belgium To Wipe Out Turkey The Rritish-t*erb-Freneh-Greek Mace donian drive is regarded eventually des tined to cut Turkey off from her Teuton ally and out her off the European map r or all time. Rumanfa is likely to be freed for further fighting. And there is even a chance of linking a line north ward to Poland. Mountainous country makes this very difficult, hut if it can be done. th“rc will be a double ea«t«rn front. The main eastern front for which the allies are now striving will formed by a junction of the al lies lighting southward from the Arch angel region and the Czecho-Slovaks fighting northward in the Samara re i gion. With Turkey eliminated, it will te possible for Russia to have the free outlet from the Black sea. for which she and other allies have long con ; tended. The Macedonian push is tending to accomplish the double purpose of elim inating Turkey and freeing Jugo-Slavs -nd other Slavic folk. The dag ger now points toward . Sofia. , If tlia’ . can hr leached, the Teuton structure in the near east will have crumbled. As for the brilliant Palestine cam paign. It is pointed out that this is re moving very effectively the old buga •oos of a road to the east, a drive against the canal and so on. Tur key is left already in desperate straits, and it would no’ be ttirpnsing if she and Bulgaria were found suing for s»p;.rate peace before the main peace conference assembles. Girl Who Eloped With Soldier Commits Suicide STOCKBRIDGE. Ga.. Sept 23.—Police throughout Georgia and the south who have for some days been seeking C. D.

Artillery is intermittently active along the whole Metz front. The enemy is using gas and incendiary shells. American aviators have dropped eighteen, tons of bombs on airdromes and railway connections, observing suc cessful explosions and fires. Recently the nights have been exceptionally; clear, in spite of cloudy’ days. A n.ght reconno'ssance i.quadron has been or ganized which has proved highly sue-, cessftil.

SEPTEMBER 24, 1018 50-MILE ADVANCE AGAINST TURKS IS NEW WAR RECORD BT J. W. T. MASON I NEW YORK? Sept. 23.—General Allen by's remarkable advance through the plains of Sharon to Nazareth has cover ed over fifty miles in two days fighting, the record for the present war. The British are now within Seventy five miles of Damascus, the capture of which is certain if the present disin ; tegration of the Turkish focees con tinues. Once at Damascus, General Al lenby can begin to make plans for unit i ing his own force with the British army I in Mesopotamia, which is working its > way northwestward along the Euph -1 rates. This army has as its objective i the capture of Aleppo, where the Con stantinople railway joins the Bagdad ! and the Damascus lines. From Damascus, General Allenby, too, will advance toward Aleppo. It will be ■ possible for him to. get into touch ■ with ihe British Mesopotamian opera tions'immediately at Damascus by the (f use of cavalry. The Arabian desert, (which now separates General Allenby’s i force from the Mesopotamia expedition, loses its density north of Damascus, ; perm ttirtg the two British armies to . unite under a single strategic direction for the approach to Aleppo Genets 1 Allenby is now less than 300 miles from Aleppo and has covered half the distance from Suez to that ma t jor Turkish railway center. The extra ' ordinary speed of General Allenby's advance from Jaffa to Nazareth last week indicates that the second half of the journey will be out of all propor tion to the first in rapidity of accom ; plishmont. • , With British armies in possession of Al&ppo, the nearby port of Alexandret ;ta will certainly be seized. Thereafter < a major campaign may be begnn for ,| ’he capture of Constantinople through ■ Asia Minor. With Alexandretta in possesison of the allies, troops could easily be land -1 cd there, ready to move along the Alep , po railway leading across Asia Minor into Constantinople. The distance to :>e covered is about ' S«i) miles. This sounds like a stupendous undertaking but with a demoralized Turkish army in opposition the possibility of success exists. Certainly the mere threat of so gigantic art x accomplishment would work havoc with the morale of the pan -1 Germans. FROST EN CKATTAWOOGA LYERLY. Ga..
