Turkey expected to drop out shortly, while allies begin attack on Germany's back door— Austria-Hungary. sti : ITH Bulgaria definitely out of the war, the beginning of the end may reasonably be anticipated Events are so shaping themselves that Gen. Pershing’s ex pressed hope to win the war in 1919 will probably be realized Bulgaria’s collapse is a direct result of America’s powerful help to the allies, altho the United States and Bulgaria were not at war with each other. The inability of Germany to send reserves to Bulgaria, when allied forces pressed hard upon its strongholds, led to Bulgaria's request for an armistice. Germafy and its ally, Austria-Hungary, were kept too busy on other fronts to furnish the needed aid that might have kept Bulgaria long er in the war. Now it is plain that Teutonic dreams in the near-East are gone. The next big news will be that Turkey has followed Bulgaria's lead. This is almost a certainty. Turkey Isolated From Hun Allies Bulgaria’s rupture with Germany, Austria-Hungary and Turkey must « be complete, according to the allied terms. This means that Turkey will * be completely severed from its Teutonic allies, as Bul is the only country in Europe thru which any men or materials can be transported to Turkey. Isolated from its allies with a growing been made the dupe of the kaiser, harassed by Gen key’s peace move will be only a matter of weeks But whether Turkey is in or out of the war, the immediate effect of Bulgaria's collapse will be that the allies will soon re-establish the Danube front and will be knocking against Germany's “bi door,” Austria-Hun- gary. Rumania, freed from Bulgaria the struggle, for by this time it is e country that the peace treaty of Bucharest is but another Hun swindle. Open East Door for Attack on Austria This will open up the opportunity for direct and combined allied at a conviction that it has Allenby’s armies, Tur- Kk {. tack on Austria-Hungary in the east. Such an attack means the crush ing of that country, which is even now on the verge of collapse The western position is such that Germany will be unable to give Austria any help. The smash from the Belgian coast to the Champagne is progressing remarkably well. The Hun is being forced to relinquish his grasp on the old Hindenburg defense positions, and he will have to winter on new and untried lines Events in Russia Also Against Hun Nor is this all.

There are continuous advances at many parts of the line. Attack is piled upon attack. The significance of the vast battle is the great out standing fact that for the first time since Germans crossed the French frontier in 1914 they are now forced to think hard and fast to retain their grip upon northern France.

FOUR-MILE GAP IN HINDY LINE BY LOWELL MELLETT (United Press Correspondent) WITH THE BRITIS!

S. senate to pass a constitutional amendment granting women full and equal suffrage with | men, As “commander-in-chief of the army and navy,” he declared suf frage to be “vitally essential to the successful prosecution of the war of humanity.” President Wilson's speech follows, in part: “Gentlemen of the Senate: “The unusual circumstances of a world war, in which we stand and are judged in the view, not only of our own people and our own consciences, but also in the view of all nations and peoples, will, I hope, justify in your thought, as it does in mine, the message I have come to bring you. I regard the concurrence of the senate in th stitutional amendment, propos- the extension of the suffrage women, as vitally essential to the successful prosecution of the great war of humanity in which we are engaged.
