Washington, Oct. 28.—In his communique for Saturday, Gen- eral Pershing notes that the battle being fought by the first Amer- ican army north of Verdun entered that day on its second month, and notes that in the first month the Americans captured 20,000 prisoners, 150 guns and more than 1,000 machine guns. _ _ Beleau Wood, east of the Meuse, is in the hands of the Amer- icans, after stubborn fighting of several days. _ German forces holding the sharp salient between the Fere and Oise rivers in France have been compelled to abandon their posi- tion, which they have held for the last 12 days. The French armies on either side of the salient launched a blow on Sunday which; flattened out the angle on the enemy front and which may have a definite effect eastward. It may be that the Germans have prepared lines further east to which they are now retiring along the Fere-Oise front, but they are not apparent on the may. There are few, if any, natural posi-! tions, which lend themselves for defenses west of Vorvrens, south} of which is a broken country. North of Vovrens there are exten- sive forests. | Hunding Line Broken. It is reported that the Hunding line is broken near Guise. If this is a fact the whole German line south and north of the city is in’danger. Collapse of the enemy front there would weaken the; lines along the Aisne near Rethel where the French have been vir-| tually held up for some time. If the line of the Aisne gives way the-Germans further east around the Argonne forest and near the Meuse must readjust their lines, it would seem. Advance is Slow. V In the neighborhood of Valenciennes, the British are still} fighting their way ahead, but the advance in this restricted area! is slow. Further north the enemy seems to have entrenched himself more strongly. There is no evidence of a lowered morale in the savage resist- ance of the Austrians to the Italian attack in the Bretna and Piave sectors in Jtaly. It would appear the allied forces there have not been able to move ahead, except at a slow pace.. It seems probable that the offensive will develop into a reconnaisance in force instead of a real offensive. . General Allenby’s forces in Palestine have occupied Aleppo, and appear to have completed the destruction of Turkish power in Syria. The way is now open for & junction-between General Allen- by’s atmy and the one moving up the Tigris.

TO REMOVE LID SAYS ROBINSON \ Venerable, League Justice De- clares Attorney General Should>Act at Once. FIDDLE AS ROME BURNS| Jurist Says We Face Disaster as Grave as the Recent Min- nesota Fires. Declaring it the duty of Attorney General William Langer to publicly! proclaim the’ removal of North Da- kota’s bone dry lid, in order that al- cohoNe liquors may be obtained for the prevention or treatment of iniluen- | za, Associate Justice James EB. Robin- | son today guve to the press his fourth! letter on the subject of “flu and zoose,” | which is, as follows: 1 “Have we no governor, no attorney} general, no judges? A great calamity is upon us---calamity as disasterous us the Minnesota forest fires—and we} fiddle while Rome burns. The ery ts; what must we do to be saved; how may we get liquor aud quinine to ward | off the pestilence that is upon us “Now the question up to the at- torr general, and his duty is is to speak and to act promptly and in a way to save the lives of the people. With ‘the greatest zeal and rigor he has carried on prosecutions to enforee | the fake, boue dry statute which was never passed by the senate. The re- sult is that liquor has been excluded from the state and the express com- panies refuse to carry and the peo- ple are denied the best remedy against the pestilence. “Now the attorney general must no jonger keep mute. He must either pro- claim that the dry bone statute is a pure fakeand that it was never pass- ed by the senate, or declare that the senators ure all liars, becanse at the extra session last January the senate passed a resolution, without. a dissent- ing..vote.,.declarjng: the supposed act a fake, and that ‘it had- never passed the senate.’ The truth of that resolu- tion is well confirmed by the journals. which show that on March 1st; 1917, at four P. M., Senator Putman offered ten amendments to. the’ bill known as Honse Bill 39. These ‘amendments were adopted by the senate. “The bill as amended permitted any person within each period of 30 days to recelve and possess for his personal use, four quarts of spirituous lquors, i five gallons of wine, or 72 quarts al | i fheer or malt liquors. p lieu. of that amendment it appears there was sub- stituted, engrossed and’ filed a fake; amendment making it .a crime to re- ceive, deliver or possess intoxicating liquors for any purpose whatso¢ e The trick was turned in this way: On March 2nd, 1917, at the close of the legislative sion, near midnight, when the members of the house were fatigued by long continued, hurly-bur- ly work and by the taking of a yea and nay vote on 79 bills, there was presented a grand opportunity for some fake work. Then it was that a few members of the house caused the bill with the fake amendments to be engrossed and recorded as passed by the house and senate. “Now it appears that since July 1st, 1917. the attorney general and all his forces have been at work to enforce the fake statute. Of course it was done innocently, but it was done with- out proper care and caution, And the result has been a sad calamity, and now it is for the attorney genera) to| tracted Spanish use all his force and power to undo the wrong and to proclaim that the bone dry statute is a pure fake, and telegraph the express companies to re- ;eeive, carry and deliver liquor for any person to any part of the state. The emergency permits of no delay. We must not fiddle while Rome burus.
