Eventually, the United States would have beaten them, but the joss of life and property in our adonted land’ Would have been ter- rible.” Sergeant Hisch complains because his officers.won’t let.him get into the front-line trenches.

REGISTRATION WORK MUST NOT That Boys Over There Don’t Quit. Spanish flu is very seriously inter- fering with the work of classifying the September 12 registrants in North Dakota. General Fraser ‘advises that when this week opened 27 local boards of the 53 in North Dakota had not examined any men of the September registration, and but 16 in the whole state had finished 60 per cent of their examination work. , “It is recognized,” says General Fraser in a letter urging the locat boards to speed up, “that the influen- za has caused great work on the ex- amining physicians and that their time and skill have been taxed to the utmost ‘in combatting this disease. However, there is disease and death ‘over there,’ and the imperative mili- tary necessity requires that physical examination’ in this state shall com- mence at once. There must be a large number of the new registrants pre- pared for a call to the colors. The only way to end this war is to show the enemy that America is coming continually, and ever faster.

Baker, federal fuel ad-! ministrator for North Wakota, has been called upon to investigate com- plaints made at several points to the! effect that certam favored consum-, e-s who have furnaces have been per-! mitted to store large quantities of | | anthracite coal, and that while their) bins have been ‘filled; there~has been | no hard coal for others'who have only base-burners and who need anthracite. Four distinct instances have been re- Ported to the federal fuel adminis- trator within the last few weeks. The people involved in these charges are Prominent socially and: politically. “The average person,” reads a com- plaint which has just been filed with Capt. Baker, “is straining every effort to help the government in the con: servation of needed fuel, many going so far as to put up with considerable inconvenience to themselves in help-| ing to do it. They naturally feel it can well afford to use bituminous coals to buy anthracite instead.” i Capt. Baker .advises that it has clearly been Shown to be the patriotic duty of every North Dakota consumer whose furnace can be converted to accommodate lignite to burn this fuel, | or at least bituminous coal. Tt is also stated that no consumer may store more than two-thirds of the amount o fanthracite which was used during the last fuel year, and that no consum- er may store this amount until all the anthracite available has been pro- rated among all the consumers in the community. If families because of political or social standing have im-| posed upon their neighbors by monop- olizing the visible supply of anthra- cite, Capt. Baker has promised that they will be induced to disgorge and to “whack up.” BUY W, 8 Seo JAZZ TAKES HOLD ON N. E. A, Special to The Tribune.

HOSTILITIES CEASE. (By Associated Press.) London, Oct. 31.—3:15 P. M.—The Turkish tice took effect at noon today. The armistice between Great Britain and Turkey was signed at noon today at Minos. armis- Turkey entered the war in November, 1914, when she severed diplomatic relations with Great Britain, France and Russia. She is the second of the central pow- ers to withdraw from the war, Bulgaria having been granted an armistice several weeks ago. Turkey entered the war only a few days after the German warships Breslau and Goeben had sought shelter in the Dardanelles, which was at once blockaded by the allied fleet. In April, 1915, allied troops were landed on the Galipoli peninsula, but the offensive failed, and the allied troops were withdrawn in December of the same year. Suggestions put forward by the British delegates, the Express says in an editorial, probably will be accepted by the rest of the allies. The proposals were put forward, says the Express, with definite ideas of preventing Ger- many from renewing hostilities when the armistice is ended. The actual terms of Turkish peace proposal had not yet reached London in the early afternoon. Other terms, it was learned, comprise the occupa- tion of forts of the Dardanelles and Bosphorus necessary to secure the passage .of allied warships through the Bosphorus to the Black sea. The ‘entire Turkish force which was opposing the British on the Tigris has been captured, it was officially announced today. The terms of the Turkish armistice which now is in operation include the free passage of the Dardanelles to mons today. the allied fleet, it was announced in the house of com- Disaster threatens the Austro-Hungarian army from the Scelvio to the Adriatic, as they retreat from Italian territory. All the Italian armies now have entered the great offensive against th Austrians and allied troops are advancing rapidly from Lake Garda to the Adriatic. Fighting activity on the western front remains at a virtual standstill. There have been only isolated actions at several points. Shattered by the irresistable advance of the Italians, British and French across the Piave the Austrians are fleeirig rapidly across the plains toward the line of the Isonzo from which they advanced one year ago. Americans are participating, in this ad- vance, which has reached the Saclie, 15 miles east of the Piave. |The total of Austrian prisoners is approaching 40,000. Armies Separated. Apparently the Austrian forces which were along the Piave |still have great difficulty reaching the hills east of; the Isonzo. They have been separated in the mountains west of the Piave and ‘the Italians threaten their rear in the rgion of Vittorio. Along th lower Piave the Italian third army has crossed the river and taken up the pursuit. In the center the Italians have taken Oderzo, while further north they have advanced beyond Vittoria in the direction of Belleuno. Through Narrow Hallway. : In retreating across the plains over the 55 miles between the iPiave and the Isonzo the Austrian rush backward is through a narrow hallway walled in by the Carnic Alps and on the south by the Adriatic. From the manner in which the allies have driven in their wedge in the Piave it is apparently their intention to outflank the Austrians in the north. Situation is Serious. The situation of the Austrians guarding the Trentio on the SOCIETY OF LONDON front from Lake Garda to the Piave is also becoming serious. Be- tween the Bretna and Piave the 15 Austrian divisions operating there have been cut off at the Vadal Pass. Elsewhere on this front th Austrians must retreat northward through the Alps with the British, French and Italians pressing hard at their heels. If as reported the Italians are attacking from Scelvio southward to Lake Garda as well as eastward from the lake the allies have begun the famous pincher movement in the Trentino. Leaving Serbia. The Austrians are also retreating from Serbia and have aban- doned the Danube from Semendria and the fall of Belgrade and the complete liberation of Serbia would seem but a matter of a fw days if not hours. In western Serbia the Austrians also are marching north toward the Danube. Little Chan£e. There has been little change in the situation on the western front. British patrols have been active between Valenciennes and La Questroy. In the Champagne, the French have repulsed a German coun- ter attack northwest of La Porcien. The fifth French army fight- ing in this region has taken nearly 1,500 prisoners in the last two, days. American divisions engaged in the terrific struggle between the Meuse river and Argonne forests have pushed ahead until they have Airenciee in their possession. It is situated on the ridge which dominates the country to the north and east. ‘From it the Americans can direct their artillery fire on the important town of Stenay to the north and the railroad running from Metz toward Lille to the northeast. 180 MILES IN LENGTH.
