LAUNCH DRIVES ON METZ AND VERDUN LINES WITH THE AMERICANS ON THE |\METZ FRONT, Sept. 25.—(Delayed.)— |The American troops, with French co-opera- ition, advanced east of the Moselle this morn- ing. They gained their first objectives, de- |spite German artillery resistance. The American line of the Moselle ex- tends in practically a straight line from Van- dieres to Nomeny. It averages from a mile and a half to three miles from the German border. | PARIS, Sept. 26.—French troops, }with Americans, attacked in the Champagne region this morning, the war office announced. “At 5 a. m. today French troops, in liaison with Americans, attacked in the Champagne region,” the communique said. “The Americans are operating to the eastward.” The communique does not make it clear whether Amer- icans are co-operating with the French in the Champagne attack or whether the Americans referred to are those re- ported in a delayed dispatch to be attacking east of Moselle in the Metz region. The Champagne front extends from Rheims eastward to Verdun. There has been unusual raiding activity in the center of this front for several days past.

The campaign begins Saturday. The moment we reach our quota, the campaign will cease. Why not raise it at once and get back to our other duties? There is much work to do. We need the man power and the energy that go into a protracted Liberty Loan campaign for other useful war purposes. .If we can fill our quota quickly, we can release that power and energy.

A delayed dispatch stated that the Americans, with the French co-operating, had’ attained their first dbjectives. The French war office reported a new attack in the Champagne, which extends from Rheims eastward to Ver- dun, starting at 5a. m. today, with Americans in “liaison on the East.” Early reports were confusing and it was impossible to determine whether the French communique referred to @” combined attack of French and Americans in the Cham- , pagne or meant that the American attack along the Mo- {| selle was a companion drive. It is known that during the last German drive Ameri- can troops were placed in the line east of Rheims, where they maintained all their positions and broke up the first German cavalry attack ever directed against American troops. ¢ (By United Press Leased Wire, Direct to The Star) LONDON, Sept. 26.—British troops entered Bulgarian ~ territory yesterday, it was officially announced today. | The important Bulgarian center of Istip has been cap- © tured by allied troops, according to dispatches received |from the Saloniki front today. “Yesterday British troops entered Bulgaria, opposite | Kosturino,” the Saloniki communique repo | Kosturino is on the main Stroumnitza-Doiran highway, {two miles within Bulgarian territory and four miles direct- ly south of the important Bulgarian center of Stroumnitza, Allied forces are drawing closer to their immediate ob- jectives on three offensive fronts—Veles, in Serbia; Amman, in Palestine, and St. Quentin, in France. The latest reports show the Serbians within 10 miles of Veles, the important Bulgarian concentration point on |the Uskub-Saloniki railway. The Bulgars are retreating rapidly on the whole 100- |mile front between Monastir and Lake Doiran, while unof- ficial reports indicate that a retreat may be expected or already is under way on the entire Balkan front from the — Adriatic to the Aegean. British troops, driving eastward from the Jordan, and — Arabs pushing northward along the Hedjaz railway, are converging upon Amman, toward which a part of the Turkish army is retreating. Capture of this town, believed imminent, is expected to paralyze Turkish resistance in the |whole region south of Damascus. On the West front, British and French troops are tightening their grip on St. Quentin. They are ea within less than two miles of the city on a front of n seven miles, extending from the northwest to directly a of the city. More than 40,000 prisoners and 265 guns have been taken in the Palestine offensive.
