CINCINNATI, OHIO. THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1918. ST. OUENTIN FALLS: BRITISH. FRENCH AND BELGIANS ADVANCING New French Thrust Around Rheims Gaining Headway. Allies Advance Far to East of St, Quentin. BERLIN, Oct. 2.—(Via London.) — Occupation of St. Quentin by allied forces was announced by the German war office today. The city was held by a weak detachment, the statement said. Between Catelet and the Lise, the allies have extended their line east of St. Quentin and Berthenicourt. LONDON, Oct. 2. —5 p. m. —(By the Associated Press.)- —Two thousand pris oners have been taken by the French between the Vesle and the Alsne in their operations of the last two days. LONDON, Oct. 2.—(1:30 P. M.)—Be tween Cam bra i and St. Quentin the Ger man line of defense has been broken, it is uncertain what lines the enemy | has in the rear. The British advance threatens the German line of retreat I in the Oise valley and also Dorn the I massif of St. Gobain. Between the Aisne and the Vesle riv- I ers French troops in the last three I days have advanced on a front of ten miles to a depth of three to four mhes. j The Germans now are retreating tow- I ard the line they held in 1917. In view of the loss to the Germans of St. Quentin-and the lines to the north of that city, an enemy retirement on a fairly large scale seems probable. Given fairly good weather some very big changes on the western front may be seen before winter. FIGHTING NORTH OF ST. QUENTIN NOW With the french army near ST. QUENTIN, Oct 2.—(By the Asso ciated Press.) —Entire sections of St. Quentin are in flames and explosions are heard in the city continually. Fighting continues north of the town, where the French have made progress. The French have gained the tunnel of the St. Quentin canal at Tronquoy and continue to advance eastward. The city hall of St. Quentin appears to be intact, but it is believed to be mined. BRITISH FLANDERS ARMY ENCIRCLING ARMENTTERS BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FLANDERS, Oct 2.—(Reuter’s.) —The British second army, co-operating with the Belgians in the Flanders campaign, continued today to press forward. In the process of encircling Armentieres it took the hamlet of Le Biset, close to Armentieres on the north. The Germans are making a determin ed effort in Flanders as everywhere else, to stop the on-rush. They real ize that if the allies push even five miles farther eastward on the Belgian front. Ostend will become untenable, while an advance of ten miles would jeopardize the entire coast line. HUN LINES CRUMBLE . UNDER HAIG'S HAMMER NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—(Summary of European Cables to the Associated Press.) —Germany’s defenses between Cambrai and St. Quentin are crumbling under the determined blows of Marshal Foch, and the time of the expected Ger man withdrawal from France and Bel gium apparently is drawing appreci ably nearer. Under the attacks of British, French •and American troops the Hindenburg de fense svstem from the Scarpe to the Oise, a distance of fifty miles, is being overrun. In the north the valuable network of railroads in Flanders rap idly is becoming useless and in the south the French are pressing vigorously their advance west and north of Rheims. Northeast of St. Quentin the British have advanced more than five miles eastward from the front line of the Hindenburg positions. A salient, most dangerous to the enemy, has been driv en in between St Quentin and Le Cate let and the British are advancing through a big gap in the enemy line across important roads and railways toward La Cateau, one of the most im portant traffic centers west of the Ger man border. • In Flanders the Germans are report ed to have set fire to the railway junc tions of Roulers and Menln, and to be removing their big guns from the Bel gian coast around the submarine base of Ostend, which is being outflanked on the south. The Belgians now are five miles from Thourout, while the Brit ish are across the Lys seven miles north of Lille and are within seven miles of Courtrai. All these are impor tant railway centers and Lille is the strongest German position north of Cam brai. General Berthelot speedily is driv ing the Germans back to their old lines in the Rheims region. Further gains have been made between the Vesle and the Aisne and north of Rheims. Several miles more and the French will be in the open country north of Rheims and threatening the immediate communica tions of Ladn. The French advance here and east of the Suippe is placing the Germans be tween Rheims and the Suippe in a pock et from which they will have difficulty in withdrawing. While the battle still rages fiercely along the front where for the post five days a titanic struggle has been going on, the enemy evidently realizes that the inroads made by the allies on the Hin denburg line have shattered that famous position and made it untenable. In two other sectors attacks would not be unexpected by the allied world. The first is in the Lorraine country, where the Americans hold positions along the Moselle. An attack would en lighting may begin on a grand scale is in Italy, where the stage appears to be set for an offensive that will carry the Italian lines toward the Austria., frontier. Turkey is said to have put out “peace feelers” and it is expected that she will soon follow 7 the example of Bul garia In getting out of the war. Austria Hungary, too, seems to be on the eve of taking a step which may have an im portant bearing on her status as a bel ligerent. Possibly some new peace pro posals are indicated in dispatches from Budapest. Germany’s ministerial crisis seems critical. It is reported that all the im perial secretaries of state have resigned and that the whole Prussian ministry Intends to quit office. CAN SELL NO MORE SUGAR TILL YANKS MARCHjNTO BERLIN This novel order has been issued by the food administration for Georgia, aft er trial of an Atlanta merchant for vio lation of the sugar regulation: “It is ordered that this merchant, hav ing been found guilty of violation of the regulations, is not a proper subject to participate in the equitable distribution of sugar and, therefore, shall not further participate in the distribution of sugar until after Pershing has invaded Ber lin." The case was heard and the finding made by Major D. F. McClatchey, execu tive secretary, and approved by Dr. An drew M. Soule, federal food administra tor. A close check of the individual sugar purchase pledges .given to retail dealers has begun by the county food adminis trator. All retail merchants have been called upon to turn those pledges over to the county administrator that they may be figured, and upon these the next allotment will b? based. In the checking, it was found that Charles Dosenberg. retail m jrchant at 165 Houston street, Atlanta, has re ceived 3,000 pounds of sugar while his sales pledges totalled only 1,500 pounds. The regulation provides )hat the pledge of the individual purchaser shall be signed with the retl] merchant befare any delivery of sugat may be made. On trial of the case these facts were brought out, and the foregoing order was issued, which cuts Rosenberg off L frojn any further -stock, of sugar.

The British, in their latest stroke between St. Quentin and Cambrai, have advanced ten miles beyond this old line and at the extreme point are at Fousomme. St. Quentin is in allied hands and Cambrai is surrounded and can be taken at will. Below St. Quentin the allied line runs south to Vendeuil. Just what lines of defense the Germans have be yoiyl the present battle line is a matter of speculation, but it is doubtful if they have any approaching the strength of the Hindenburg line. All the news Wednesady indicated an early German withdrawal not only out of France, but Belgium also. The latter indication is strengthened by the re port that the enemy is withdrawing his heavy artillery from the Belgian coast. The solid line indicates the Hindenburg line; the broken one the present battle line. The shaded area east of the Hindenburg line shows territory just taken by the allies. WOMAN SUFFRAGE IS DEFEATED DESPITE WILSON’S APPEAL WASHINGTON, Oct 2. —Woman suf frage was beaten Tuesday in the senate. By a vote of 53 to 31 the senate failed to give the two-thirds majority neces sary to adopt the resolution passed by the house submitting to the states the Susan B. Anthony suffrage amendment to the federal constitution. Before the vote was announced Chair man Jones, of the woman suffrage com mittee, changed his vote from aye to no, in order to ask that the vote be reconsidered an dthe resolution left pending. Calling of the final roll on adoption of the resolution began in the senate at 3:40 o’clock. Senators voting for suffrage were: Ashurst, Calder, Chamberlain. Colt, Culberson. Cummins, Curtis. Fernaid, France, Gerry, Coffee, Gore, Gronna, Henderson, Johnson, South Dakota; Jones, Washington; Kellogg, Kendrick, Kenyon, Kirby, La Follette, Lenroot, Lewis, Mcumber, McKellar, McNary, Martin, Kentucky; Myers, Nason, New, Norris, Nugent, Owen, Page, Pittman. Poindexter, Ransdell, Robinson, Shaf roth, Sheppard, Smith, Arizona; Smith, Michigan; Smoot, Sterling, Southerland, Thomas, Thompson, Townsend, Varda man, Walsh and Watson. Those who voted “No” were: Baird, Bankhead, Benet, Brandegee, Dillingham, Drew, Fletcher, Guion, Hale, Hardwick. Hitchcock, Jones, New Mexi co; Lodge, McLean, Martin, Virginia; Overman, Penrose, Pomerene, Reed, Saulsbury, Shields, Simmons. Smith, Georgia; Smith, Maryland; Smith, South Carolina; Trammell, Underwood, Wads worth, Weeks, Williams and Wolcott. After a final plea today by President Wilson in personal letters to Democratic supporters in behalf of the amend ment and another installment of tense debate, the senate began disposing of amendments to the resolution and re jected, 61 to 22, the proposal of Senator Williams (Mississippi), to limit the franchise to white women, the senate adopting a motion of Chairman Jones, of the suffrage committee, to table the Williams amendment. By a vote of 50 to 33 the senate also rejected the proposal of Senator FYe linghuysen, of New Jersey, to restrict suffrage to men and women who have acquired citizenship by btrth or natural ization.

X—6:3o P. M.—Tur key has made further indirect ap proach e to the allies through financial channels which axe being considered by the British war cabinet, the Standard says it learns on good authority. Im portant developments, the newspaper adds, are expected. LONDON, Oct. 2.—Damascus, the cap ital of Syria, was occupied by General Allenby’s forces on Tuesday morning, according to an official statement is sued today by Uie British war office. With Damascus In the hands of the British and the French approaching Beirut, the way is practically open to a march on Aleppo, 200 miles north of Damascus, where the railways from Da mascus and Bagdad to Constantinople converge. Aleppo is about 550 miles southeast of Constantinople. PEACE AND REIHEAT PLANNED BY GERMANS WASHINGTON, Oct. 2. —With Tur key reported maneuvering for an armis tice on the best available terms. Ger many is evidently preparing for ex tensive maneuvers —one. a peace offen sive. the other, a grand scale retire ment in the west. The peace offensive is deemed only a part of a scheme, known to this gov ernment, to lay down a pacific bar rage through the fall and winter, re gardless of how much refusal to ac cept comes from the entente and Amer ica. Austria apparently will be used again as the catspaw. But. it Is noted in her last feelers, as reported in cables, she admits being linked com pletely to Germany. And, there is no sign thus” far that either nation is anywhere near the mood to accept the broad-gauge, altruistic program Pres ident Wilson has decreed as a perma nent peace basis. As for the west front military situa tion, Germany’s problem grows more disastrous constantly. Her war lead ers would like to make an orderly withdrawal at this time, it is believed, but are being prevented by Foch’s per sistent close-up tactics. A retirement is destined to come before long. And, it will probably be for a considerable distance. But, what the German is now striving for is to keep it from becoming a -disastrous rout. Reports that he is about to evacuate Belgium is taken solely as indicative, of the military exigency and military au thorities s off at the reports that Ger many is using her reported evacuation plans as an evidence of her “good faith” toward Belgium. As for the Turkish situation, it is the belief here that Turkey has given the entente some concrete feelers for an armistice. But they are not yet “offi cial,” and will be ignored until they are made formally. That a formal re quest will be forthcoming before long is the firm belief of both diplomatic and military men here, for they say the Bulgarian breakdown has left Tur key at the mercy of the British. They do not believe Germany can carry out her reported plan of keeping away open from Berlin to Constantinople. VON PAYER ANNOUNCES DISCUSSION OF “GOAL” AMSTERDAM, Oct 2.—“ At the re quest of Chancellor von Hertling we will discuss today with the leaders of the parties the best way" to attain the kaiser’s goal—full recognition of the wishes of the German people,” Vi<* Chancellor von Payer declared In ad dressing the main committee of the reichstag Monday, according to advices received here today. “I am confident we will find the solu tion of this matter, which is of the highest Importance for the future of the fatherland.” HERTLING RESIGNED UNDER HEAVY PRESSURE AMSTERDAM, Oct. 2.—Von Hertling. German Imperial chancellor, who has just resigned, has been under pressure from powerful individuals who urged that Gedmany take advantage of Bul garia’s surrender to make a new peace offer, according to information here to day. Just before Hertling started for headquarters, the advices said, Philip Scheidemann and other Socialists called upon him and told him it was neces sary that Bulgaria’s move be taken ad vantage of and a general peace offered the allies. Later, it was reported. Admiral von Hintze, and then foreign minister, gave Hertling similar advice. ANTI-GERMAN AND PACIFIST RIOTS NOW IN BULGARLY PARTS, Oct. 2.—(Havas.) —Anti-Ger- man Pacifist riots are in progress throughout Bulgaria, according to a Zurich dispatch to the Journal. It is added that rumors are current of tire formation of a national cabinet in Bul garia under the leadership of Premier Malinoff and Dr. Ghenadieff, released from prison a few days ago, under a pardon by King Ferdinand. BULGARIA BEGINS TO COMPLY WITH TERMS \ PARIS, Oct. 2.—‘-Bulgaria has already started fulfillment of the conditions un- I der which she was granted an armistice. I It was learned from authoritative sources today that the Bulgarian army | is being disbanded. Arms and munitions are being handed over to the allies.
